Shawna Patton

Shawna’s career began in 2006 when she became fascinated with how the body functions and the concept of self-healing. She was intrigued by how the body held, coped, and released stress and/or pain. In 2014 she was pregnant with her first child. During the pregnancy she struggled with pubic symphysis pain and sciatic pain. Nothing seemed to help, and massage was a far cry from benefit at that point. The birth of her son not only changed who she was as a person but also where she wanted to go with her career or path. She knew there had to be a better way to support Pregnancy with Massage Therapy. Thus, Mama Bear Massage was created.

Since opening her practice, in 2017, she has expanded her knowledge and skills to not only specialize in Pregnancy Massage (with techniques to make it as comfortable as possible), but also in Fertility Massage. Our bodies change and shift many times during our lives. Her passion is to help women understand their bodies and learn how to meet their unique needs. She has created a Massage Therapy practice that focuses on you, the individual, and how you can continue to improve your level of comfort from home.
