About Active Peace Maternity & massage
Bringing Peace and Wellness to Your Journey
Mission Statement
BRINGING PEACE, SERENITY, AND CALM ON YOUR PREGNANCY AND BIRTH JOURNEY.
At Active Peace Maternity & Massage, I'm not just a practitioner; I'm a passionate advocate for your complete well-being during pregnancy and beyond. My journey began with a vision of providing expectant parents across the globe with holistic care that nurtures the mind, body, and soul.
About APMM
Active Peace Maternity & Massage was founded in 2011, evolving from a general therapeutic massage practice into a specialized haven for maternity massage. My journey reflects my commitment to expectant parents' unique needs, starting with fertility support, prenatal care, labor, and postpartum recovery. Over the years, my services have expanded to encompass doula support and holistic care throughout all stages of family planning.
Hi! I'm Crystal Swanson.
Licensed Massage Therapist, Doula, Maternity Coach, Herbalist
I am a dedicated and experienced professional with a diverse background. My journey began as a Medic in the US Army in 2002, where I developed a passion for alternative therapies. After completing my primary massage education, my focus on women's health, particularly during and after pregnancy, deepened. This passion led me to become a licensed massage therapist, doula, and herbalist.
My commitment to serving expectant parents is matched by my love for my family, hobbies, and lifelong learning. Originally from New Orleans, I now call Colorado Springs home. Beyond my professional life, I enjoy reading, cooking, sewing, soap making, and crafting homemade beauty and body care products. I'm also an introvert who finds joy in pole fitness and believes in continuous educational growth.
My Commitment to You
At Active Peace Maternity & Massage, I'm not just a practitioner; I'm a partner in your unique journey. My goal is to bring you peace, serenity, and calm throughout your pregnancy and birth experience. Whether you're a local client or connecting with me from afar, I'm here to guide and support you every step of the way.
