About
Helena graduated from the Healing Arts Institute in Fort Collins, CO in 2019, and has spent the years since doing what she loves most: helping clients build a deeper awareness of their own bodies and discover the real, lasting benefits of therapeutic massage. Her approach is rooted in a belief that modern medicine and ancient, holistic practices work best together. Drawing on her undergraduate studies in Health and Exercise Science, she brings a well-rounded perspective to every session and tailors her work to meet each client exactly where they are.
Helena's intention is simple: to help people feel better in their bodies and find their own path to a healthier, more balanced life. She is trained in deep tissue, prenatal massage, postpartum massage, C-section scar tissue massage, Swedish massage, neuromuscular therapy, massage cupping, foot reflexology, and more.
She also holds a yoga teacher certification from Holistic Yoga School (though she hasn't been teaching for a few years, she utilizes this knowledge to help clients with at home self care practices).
