Hi, I’m Helena Teply-Figman, CMP.

This is not ‘typical bodywork,’ but then, you are probably not a ‘typical person.’ Welcome.

My practice is designed to help you relax and settle (hello, frayed nerves), feel nurtured and cared for, and experience your body in new, empowering, perhaps even inspiring ways so you can do the things that light you up and explore life with more self-awareness and compassion, enjoyment, and sense of agency.

No matter the approach, this work is offered through a trauma-informed lens and endeavors to honor the unique state of your nervous system. Client-centered and process-oriented, my intention is to be a safe, skilled and helpful guide and compassionate and encouraging facilitator on your healing and wellness path.
