Testimonials

I had such a wonderful experience and the massage was really catered for a pregnant woman which made all the difference. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely amazing experience getting a prenatal massage, reflexology and crystal face massage last week. I can’t wait for my next session! Shawna creates the most comfortable, inviting and relaxing atmosphere for you to let go and fully relax.

Genuinely the best massage experience I’ve ever had. Did not feel rushed at all…was so incredibly therapeutic! I am 32 weeks pregnant and gained SO MUCH relief during my appointment!! Seriously so worth every penny.

Shawna was very sweet! I had surprised my wife with a prenatal massage, we got there and I could tell my precious wife was hurting by the way she walked in. Shawna with Mamabear Massage came highly recommended and after her session with my wife I can totally see why. When we left my wife was all but skipping on her way out.
If anyone else is going through a pregnancy with all the aches and pains that come with it, we would both highly recommend Mamabear Massage!!! Thank you, Shawna!

I started seeing Shawna about two years ago to address some physical discomforts during pregnancy, and she then supported me in postpartum care. More recently, we have shifted our work towards Awareness is Healing: Maya Abdominal Massage to address generalized anxiety.

Shawna has a gift. She exudes calm and a sense of peace, and offers a non-judgemental space of comfort and support for me to address the needs of my body, mind, and spirit. I feel lighter–physically and mentally–after a session with Shawna, and am able to move and breathe more deeply and freely (in ways I never knew were possible before working with her!). Since our most recent AIH sessions, I have found my ability to rebound from anxieties and speed bumps of life to have improved immensely. Each session brings me closer to a sense of calm, clear-mindedness, and joy. And I can feel my authentic smile and laugh returning! Her work has been a huge part in my continuous healing, and I feel eternally grateful to have found her.

Shawna has taken care of me through two pregnancies and in between (2019 to the present). I’ve been lucky enough to benefit from her expanded massage skills over the years. Incorporating Mayan abdominal massage made a big difference with my second pregnancy last year. Mama Bear Massage has helped me with hip pain and tightness, back pain, tight calves, and plantar fasciitis. Additionally, Shawna’s provided a safe and caring environment for emotional release during massage. She’s always encouraged to me feel anything that comes up and helps me breathe through it. I leave Mama Bear Massage able to breathe deeper, feeling lighter, and fully cared for. Cannot recommend enough.

I have been seeing Shawna for Maya fertility massages from the beginning of my pregnancy journey. Shawna is amazing and truly a healer. She has always been so accurate in pointing out if something is stressing me out by just feeling my body. This pregnancy has been difficult, with a lot of pains and aches, but I always feel better after my session with Shawna. It is not uncommon for me to cry during the session as I feel so understood by her. I am very grateful for her. She is really an expert at what she does.

I’ve been seeing Shawna for massage therapy for several months, and she’s TOPS!  I have quite a bit of fascial tightness, which she was able to diagnose and focus her therapy on.  She’s a knowledgeable professional who does her utmost to tailor her interventions to the specific needs of her clients.  She’s patient and takes her time during each session; rather than rushing through several areas, she evaluates tissue tension and focuses on those areas that appear to most need her therapeutic touch.

Her commitment to client comfort extends to such pleasant touches as a warmer for her therapy plinth, a glass of water at the end of the session, and subdued lighting to invite relaxation.

I always leave feeling better after a session with Shawna!  Thanks so much!

That was the BEST MASSAGE I have ever had!! It was worth every penny ! I feel so good and felt like it was so consistent and just the right amount of pressure. Would highly recommend to anyone!!!

Shawna is much more than a massage therapist – she is a healer. A few words that describe her: compassionate, intuitive, inspired, kind, and talented to name a few. Not only is she a fantastic massage therapist, she is a wonderful person. Anyone who crosses paths with Shawna, whether it is because she is giving a massage or just sharing some wisdom, will benefit from their time with her. I highly recommend Shawna Patton at Mama Bear Massage.
