A Letter From Our CEO
Hi.
Welcome and thanks for visiting us! Becoming a mom can be such a joyous destination that it is easy to forget to celebrate the journey as well. Along the way, each of us encounters bumps, surprises and challenges. As a mom of three and a Maternal-Fetal Medicine Physician (High Risk OB/GYN), I understand pregnancy from both sides and I know we can all use a moment to simply exhale and reflect. I also know protecting that precious cargo makes us nervous about getting pampered. For this reason I used my expertise in the science of pregnancy to create Great Expectations Spa.
In my own life, I personally experienced a wide range of highs and lows including complications, infertility and miscarriage along the path of welcoming our three children into the world. Throughout each pregnancy, I felt aches, pains, and muscle soreness as I yearned for centered relaxation. I also worried about the safety and comfort of spa services while struggling to make time for myself. Today, with just a few clicks the carefully-crafted solution can meet you in the comfort of in your home . Every moment and product in your Great Expectations Spa selection is curated for luxury and informed by my many years of experience caring for moms just like you. This is a journey, let us walk with you.
Best Wishes,
Amber Samuel, MD
CEO and Co-founder

A little bit about our CEO…
As a Board Certified Ob/Gyn with subspecialty training and additional Board Certification in Maternal Fetal Medicine (High Risk Obstetrics), I have been helping guide women through pregnancy for over 15 years. Having also taken this journey myself through bringing three wonderful children into the world, I came to yearn for the opportunity to provide women with access to the relaxation and support that we all deserve. The entire experience of Great Expectations is designed to safely care for an expectant mother from safe positioning, curated products and certified specialists performing the services. Let us help you enjoy this unique journey and center yourself for you new life ahead

A little bit about our COO…
Having been Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Disease, and Interventional Cardiology, I have spent my career exploring how stress management, nutrition, and the mind/body connection affect health and wellness. Fortunately, my professional journey has also afforded me the opportunity to manage heart health in pregnancy, and partner with those in need of relief from common pregnancy symptoms ranging from shortness of breath to the sensation of a racing heart. It remains my hope that combining these clinical experiences with the use of carefully crafted massage techniques and access to meticulously selected maternity centered spa products can help melt away much of the anxiety and discomfort throughout the early stages of motherhood.
