About Us

My name is Heng Ma, and I'm the founder of Latch and Touch LLC. I am a bodyworker, Certified Breastfeeding Specialist®™ and doula for new parents and babies I have had worked with 5000 new mothers and newborn babies since 2016, by my therapeutic hands.

I learned massage therapy from my mom (an instructor at a nursing school) and grandmother (a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner), who both used massage in both professional capacities and with their families. I have been practicing massage since I was a six-year -old girl. As a matter of fact, from the time I was a baby until I went to college, my mom gave me a massage every day while we talked, and those are some of my most cherished memories from my youth. Now, I believe that parents' touch is the best gift for their kids.

Both In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, we firmly believe that massage forms the cornerstone of breastfeeding. Our approach involves providing mothers with therapeutic massage to alleviate pain and ensure sustained milk supply. For infants, our focus is on imparting essential tongue and facial motor skills, along with facilitating full-body relaxation through specialized massage techniques.
