Irina Koleva

Irina Koleva, LMT
(Contracted Therapist: Boulder)

Irina brings a highly attuned and science-informed approach to Sports Massage, Injury Rehabilitation, Structural Bodywork, and Chronic Pain Relief. She blends clinical understanding with an intuitive, client-centered style to help restore functional movement, ease pain patterns, and support long-term recovery.

As a trained dancer, aerialist, and hypermobile athlete, Irina knows firsthand how injuries, compensation patterns, and chronic pain can impact performance and daily life. Her own healing journey inspired a deep study of anatomy, kinesiology, and functional movement, shaping her therapeutic approach and fueling her commitment to helping others move with confidence and ease.

Irina’s background includes a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience, where she studied biomechanics, physiology, circadian rhythms, and data modeling. She later trained at the Berkana Institute of Massage Therapy, completing extensive clinical work focused on treating pain from sports injuries, postural imbalances, surgical recovery, and neuropathy. This blend of scientific study, movement training, and hands-on therapeutic work allows Irina to address the body with both precision and compassion.

With each session, Irina integrates a combination of Sports Massage, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Structural Techniques, Thai Bodywork, Craniosacral Therapy, Hydrotherapy, Swedish Massage, and Pre/Post-Natal Massage. Her goal is always to meet clients exactly where they are and support meaningful, functional change.
