Mama bear massage ministry
Mama Bear Massage Ministry exists to serve moms in the community who are fostering children, have already adopted a child (or in the process), or are homeschooling and wearing many hats, have husbands away in the military, or for those who are single moms just “getting by”, or any other moms who have special needs kids, or in a hard season, experiencing grief due to a loss, financial difficulty, or trauma, and could benefit from some self-care and pampering. I will give them a free chair massage which will include essential oils, aromatherapy, relaxing music, and a peaceful environment to just “be still” and escape from everything they are balancing on their plates. My goal is to bless every “mama bear” out there who is doing hard and holy work by raising up their children in today’s crazy world. It’s my honor to give these moms the gift of massage so they can keep running their race, have some time to get their own cups filled, while also feeling “seen” and loved on.
