About Marta Brown Magaw, LMBT (NC License #799):
 As a new mother myself, I firmly believe that no one needs a massage as much as a pregnant woman or a new mother, so I'm glad that you are considering getting a massage for yourself or a loved one. I feel that it is important for
a woman to surround herself with caring, knowledgeable, and positive people during her pregnancy, so that she can be healthy and happy
and focused on growing a healthy baby. I would be delighted and honored to be one of your support people during your pregnancy.
I have worked with hundreds of pregnant women over the last 8 years and hope to work with you to make your pregnancy more comfortable. In addition to my specialized massage skills, I have lots of great tips for self-care picked up from my own experience of pregnancy, my clients, and from the doulas, midwives, and childbirth educators I network with.
I am a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist licensed by the NC Massage Board and a professional member of the American Massage Therapy Association. I have been doing massage for 10 years — 6 full time and 4 part time. I am certified in prenatal, postpartum, and infant massage through the nationally-recognized Nurturing the Mother program.
I graduated from the Medical Arts Massage School in Raleigh in 1998 and Sewanee: The University of the South in 1987. After completing massage school, I did advanced training in prenatal, postpartum, and infant massage (Nurturing the Mother), sports massage and orthopedic assessment (OMERI). In addition, I have taken courses in neuromuscular therapy, various forms of energy work, including Reiki, and many other continuing education classes (totaling more hours than massage school itself). I am currently working toward certification in The Trager Approach ®
I live in Carrboro with my husband Jim, daughter Ella, and dog Kashmir. I love to garden and read and am currently studying watercolor and violin.
