Shawna has a passion for helping women in all stages of motherhood from prenatal to postpartum and beyond. She graduated from Massage Therapy School at PCI in 2006. After doing standard Swedish massage for several years, she noticed there was a lack of quality prenatal massage in the Kansas City area.
While pregnant with her son in 2014, Shawna had her first experience receiving a basic Swedish prenatal massage. Like many new mothers, she struggled with “common pregnancy discomforts” such as Pubic Symphysis and Sciatic pain. Finding no relief in the bodywork she received, she decided to study various pregnancy massage techniques to create - truly therapeutic pregnancy massage sessions that would help alleviate the unique discomforts that come along with pregnancy. This specialty allowed her to formally give “birth” in 2017 to Mama Bear Massage, LLC. Since its creation, Mama Bear Massage has evolved from a Prenatal Massage focus to more of a Medical Massage focus. As time went on Pregnancy Massage clients became Postpartum and then Therapeutic Massage clients.
As client’s began returning for bodywork after pregnancy Shawna began to wonder if there was a more effective way to use massage therapy to better support her clients’ bodies in postpartum recovery. This led her to begin an apprenticeship at Centered Spirit with Alex Jackson LMT, NCTMB, a Holistic Health Practitioner, who over the last two decades has developed the Awareness is Healing® Method (AIH) which includes techniques in Maya Abdominal Massage and Traditional Maya Medicine. She has been studying the Awareness is Healing® Method with Alex since October of 2020 and well on her way to being a certified practitioner in late 2022. Her clients have already experienced how much more effective these techniques are at providing lasting relief to many chronic and acute health conditions.
