More Than a Prenatal Massage
If you’re expecting, your body is doing something extraordinary — and it deserves care that sees all of it. At Haven of Harmony, prenatal bodywork is integrative like every session here: not a routine side-lying massage, but the same whole-person reading I bring to every client, shaped to a body that’s carrying two.
After more than 20 years in Chinese medicine, massage therapy, and energy healing, I know how to listen to a body that’s changing faster than it can tell you.
What I Read in a Pregnant Body
Before I touch anything, we talk. What are you feeling? What has changed that nobody quite explained? What do you hope to feel when you leave?
Then I body map as I would in any session — adapted for pregnancy. I read what’s comfortable and useful for you: your face, tongue, pulse, speech, and energy, and the ways your body is carrying the work of growing a baby — the low back that’s doing a new job, the hips that are opening, the swelling that tells its own story. Comfort and the stage of your pregnancy guide the rest. In Chinese medicine, what I find there guides the full body work I do for you.
I also read where your body holds emotion. Pregnancy gathers feeling — anticipation, worry, everything you’re holding for everyone else. What your mind can’t yet put into words, your body is still carrying, and I can find it.
Energetic Space for You and Your Baby
Your baby is part of this session too. I hold energetic space for both of you — Reiki, sound therapy, and energy clearing techniques when they serve you — so you’re not just resting, you’re being tended, and so is the little one you’re carrying.
What It Supports
Pregnancy brings changes nobody quite explained — the sleep that won’t come, the hips and low back doing a new job, the jaw and shoulders carrying stress that isn’t only yours, the feet and gait shifting under you, and the emotional weight of holding everything together for everyone else. This work meets all of it, at the pace your body sets.
Comfort, Safety, and Your Choice
You’ll be positioned comfortably and supported through every stage of pregnancy, with bolsters and cushions as your body needs them. Every technique is chosen for what’s safe and right for where you are. And as your body changes week to week, my hands adapt with it — you never receive a routine.

- Care That Honors You
You should feel seen and heard before anything else. We work together, at your pace, within your boundaries.
My assessments guide the care I provide within my professional scope. They are not a medical diagnosis. Prenatal bodywork complements, and never replaces, care from your OB, midwife, or other medical provider. I am part of a healthcare group and can collaborate with your midwife, OB, or other healthcare professionals as part of your care team.
