I have nothing but the highest praise for Jay’s massage skills, technique, presence, and ambience. Arriving at his studio in one of the prettiest streets in New York and seeing the large proportions of the massage room made me feel very happy, welcomed and eager for his touch. I booked a two hour session and was very happy I did as his reverential attitude toward my tired body felt like he had constructed both physical and spiritual journey for me and the extra time was both needed and appreciated. His deep knowledge of various massage modalities was evident from the very start and the rhythms felt musical, his timing perfect. Learning after that his art discipline is dance made perfect sense in the way he moved with me. At one point the sounds of birds outside his window entered my consciousness and it felt like he had magically conjured them to increase my joy and that the divine queer spirit was in the room.
Deep work and Thai stretching was right on that pain/pleasure threshold that augers well for feeling enlivened afterwards, as I did. His instruction to breath deeply into the stretches took me to a wonderful sense of bodily relaxation and fluidity. Jay’s presence is so kind, generous, and loving and his eyes and smile are profoundly and radically welcoming that I look forward to being again on the table with this wonderful human and healer..
