I started Heliosoma after graduating from the Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy in 2022. Heliosoma is a combination of the Greek word for sun, Helios, and the Greek word for one’s being, Soma. I spent the first two years of Heliosoma doing in-home massage and am excited to expand my practice in my massage studio.

No! If your goal is to relax during your session but there is something on your mind you would like to talk about please feel free. Selecting a quiet session just gives me an initial understanding about your goals and guides my behavior during the session.
It is completely up to you. All I ask is that you dress down to your comfort level. Less layers of fabric allow me to more easily feel and identify knots, triggerpoints, and tension but the most important thing during your session is your comfort. I will utilize proper draping techniques and will keep areas of the body that I am not directly working on covered by the sheet and blanket at all times.
This varies depending on your body and needs. In some cases of severe muscle tension a follow up session in a week or two can be very beneficial. Maintenance sessions for continued muscle health are usually done once a month. Massages for mental and emotional relaxation can occur as often as you like, though many people find that once a month works for them and their lifestyles.
These situations are called contraindications. Situations where massage would be detrimental to one’s health include during sickness and within 48 hours of an injury. If you are unsure of your situation feel free to email me at [email protected] or search for “(your situation) massage contraindication” to learn about your particular circumstances.
Humans need relaxation. Relaxation of the body, the mind, and the emotions. Massage therapy can provide all of these.
