Irina Koleva
Licensed Massage Therapist,
Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience
My approach to holistic healing is intuitive, heart-centered, and backed by science - offering personalized sessions designed to restore functional movement, ease pain patterns, and support long-term recovery.
As a trained dancer, aerialist, and hypermobile athlete, I know firsthand how injuries, compensation patterns, and chronic pain can impact performance and daily life.
My own healing journey inspired a deep study of anatomy, kinesiology, and pathology, shaping my therapeutic approach and fueling my commitment to help others feel at home in their own bodies.
My academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience, where I studied the nervous system, circadian rhythms, infectious diseases and data modeling.
After 5 years in higher academia, I felt a deep frustration with Western clinical medicine and academia. I began looking for alternatives to our existing systems, and my search brought me to the world of functional medicine and bodywork.
At the Berkana Institute of Massage Therapy, I completed extensive clinical work focused on treating pain from sports injuries, postural imbalances, surgical recovery, and neuropathy.
The education I received from Berkana is rooted in a trauma-informed framework. I combine my knowledge of intergenerational and complex trauma with manual therapy, and aim to expand accessibility to massage therapy through mutual aid initiatives.
I designed my practice with a sliding scale model with the goal of servicing communities with high levels of need and low access. Reach out if you'd like to learn more.
Thank you for your support, and I look forward to working with you :)
