"For massage to be effective, it requires trust and communication, and to be tasked with helping someone heal is as great a reward as it is a responsibility."

Jay (they/them/theirs) has worked as a full-time massage therapist (LMT) since 2018 - with a focus in addressing mind-body disconnect through a holistic recognition of one's lived experience. They became a Certified Orthopedic Massage Therapist (COMT) in 2019. Jay brings particular attention to the habits and patterns of patients' daily lives, in order to best understand the sources of tension and restriction in their bodies.

Jay regularly utilises breath awareness and intentional touch in their sessions, which are informed by training in orthopedic, neurokinetic, trauma-informed, pre- and perinatal, and other modalities. Further, Jay recognizes the importance of safe spaces in which people can receive body-affirming care, and seeks to become a resource available to the Boston transgender and queer communities and their families. Their practice is rooted both in acknowledging the myriad ways in which life experiences can contribute to postural patterns and soft tissue dysfunction, and in finding means for clients to help address mind-body disconnect. Jay seeks to establish in their clients a sense of well-being, rest, and composure. 

When not providing massage or learning more about the body, Jay enjoys learning new languages, writing, gardening, rock climbing, and fiber arts.

I was visiting my daughters in Boston and had been experiencing neck pain for three weeks to the point of not being able to turn my head left or right or even sit up on my own! One of my daughters found Jay an incredible massage therapist for me! She was not only kind and professional but truly knowledgeable about the body and how to provide lasting relief. After just my first session on Monday, I felt significantly better that same evening. She also gave me helpful advice on how to care for my neck after the massage --even tips on how to get out of bed on my own which was just so helpful. I was so impressed with the results that I returned for a second massage on Wednesday--right before a long 6 hour drive I had planned for Thursday. I was honestly shocked at how much better I felt. The combination of her skill, care, and expertise brought me almost complete relief after just two sessions! How often does that happen??? I was able to make the drive without pain which was amazing. I cannot thank Jay enough and would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with pain or tension. She is truly a gifted healer!

I always feel so much better after a session with Jay. Jay checks in with me each time to see which area is troubling me the most and focuses specifically on that. Ever since I started seeing Jay, my neck and shoulders have improved significantly. On top of this, Jay is also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes each session even more comfortable and enjoyable. It's clear that Jay genuinely cares about the clients' well-being.
