Elena Caicedo attended The Denver School of Massage Therapy in 2015, where she worked as an anatomy tutor and led her class.
Since graduating from massage therapy school, she has taken numerous continuing education courses focusing on therapeutic bodywork. Her favorite modality is Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage Therapy, in which she uses her feet as the massage tool while holding onto bars on the ceiling for balance.
