Experience: I have been working as a Massage Therapist and Reiki Master Practitioner since 2007. However, this does not include the many years, as a child, walking on my father’s aching back and pretending to have magical healing powers.

Education: I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Communicative Sciences and Disorders. Became a Reiki Master Practitioner with The Reiki School and Clinic. I went to massage school while working at The Pennsylvania School for the Deaf.

Specialties:

• Reiki + what I like to call, Intuitive massage
  I prefer to tune in and listen to the client’s body and go from there.
• Being a mom of 4 lovely young children has taught me that self-care is essential to a healthy mind body and spirit. It might not always be a trip to the spa. It might be taking 3 deep breaths. In these times we have to take care of ourselves and our village. I hope we can be an extension of your village.

Helaina is:

• I am welcoming of all humans and I try to learn something new with each person I meet.

Style: calm presence, friendly and welcoming. Sometimes silly.

Fun fact: I am conversationally fluent in ASL. (American Sign Language.

Favorite food: Mango sticky rice.
