Tailored massage therapy for expectant mothers addresses common pregnancy discomforts like back pain and swelling. Our therapists use safe, evidence-based techniques to improve circulation, reduce stress hormones, and prepare the body for childbirth. Sessions focus on proper positioning and pressure point stimulation to promote optimal fetal positioning and maternal relaxation.

Comprehensive lactation consulting addresses breastfeeding challenges through hands-on techniques and TCM principles. Services include latch correction, milk supply management, and pain relief strategies. Certified IBCLC consultants provide prenatal education and postpartum support to establish successful breastfeeding relationships while addressing anatomical concerns like tongue-tie.

Postpartum Doula Care

Culturally sensitive postpartum care combines traditional Chinese 'Pei Yue' practices with modern doula support. Services include newborn care, emotional support, sibling integration, and recovery assistance. Night and day doula options help parents navigate early parenting challenges while promoting maternal healing through herbal therapies and energy balancing.

Heng is the most wonderful person I found personally as well professionally. She helped me with never ending soreness of my body and guided me for a healthier life style to get rid of body toxins through her various therapies. I encourage my friends to invest in her services as she could turn around ailments with her power of knowledge. She has miracle hands and I want to take this as an opportunity to thank her for her constant support and guidance for my well being journey.

Oh, my goodness! I have too much my own experience to share, I hope there is no limit words for the post! I met Heng early 2019 via a mature friend of us. We became great friends, we support each other's learning and careers. I have learned that she is passionate for what she does for others, she has high standard of her attitude and work ethic toward to her clients and friends, and she values and puts others needs before hers!
Today, she did something for me that deeply touched me! I had twisted my back and hips about 2 weeks ago, as soon as she knew it yesterday, she offered to come to my place
