Reich was the eldest child of Annie, B. Pink and Dr. Wilhelm Reich, who was a well-known psychoanalyst who studied with Sigmund Freud.
Eva was born in Vienna and moved to America in 1938 at the age of 14 and then studied at Barnard College and then a medical degree from Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania and went on to marry William Moise, who she divorced in 1974. Reich continued some of her father's work and found recognition for her energy massage during the New Age movements of the 1960s.
Focusing on infant emotional health, she developed a treatment for upset and colicky babies that involved a gentle touch she called butterfly baby massage.
Eva Reich retired in 1992 and suffered a series of strokes before her death in 2008 at the age of 84.
