Anne Heckheimer

Founder, NYS Licensed Massage Therapist

Anne Heckheimer is the founder and owner of the Prenatal Massage & Movement Center. She is a New York State licensed massage therapist, certified Restore Your Core®, and Body Ready Method® teacher, and has over thirty years of experience working in the fitness and wellness industry. She started her career as a personal trainer at Equinox Fitness Clubs in the early 1990s. Having the desire to build her foundation as well as strengthen her knowledge and education, she went back to school to become a licensed massage therapist. Soon after graduation and licensure, she worked for several years on Fifth Avenue at the Avon Salon and Spa. Seeming to naturally attract and gravitate towards working with pregnant and postpartum people, in 2001 she decided to start her own private practice catering exclusively to this population. Over the years, Anne has continued to further her studies to evolve her practice and help support her clientele. She has studied with Rosita Arvigo, becoming certified as an Arvigo® Abdominal therapist, and has also studied with Gail Tully to become certified as a Spinning Babies® Aware practitioner. She has also studied with Homebirth Midwife Tanya Wells at Manhattan Birth and is in the process of becoming a certified Integrative Lactation Feeding specialist. Anne is a lifelong learner and a proud member of the NYC birthing community. She is most humbled by her on-the-job training and education as a mother to her teenage son, which brings a whole other dimension of knowledge and support to her practice.
