Hi, I’m Jae!

I have a core belief that bodywork is for everyone: everyone deserves relief from the many stresses and tensions of life that we can carry in our bodies.

I provide non-judgemental, body-neutral, affirming care through massage therapy and self-massage education.

learn about my massage style

learn about my foundations of practice

After years of working in vegetable farming, I had some very positive experiences with self-myofascial massage techniques.

This led me to pursue education in massage therapy at SUNY Morrisville. I am so grateful for my professors and mentors in Central New York and beyond, and for learning bodywork practices as a new way to care for my communities.

Working to provide bodywork that is:

affirming

I will meet every client where they are at, with respect and validation.
You know your self, body, and experiences better than anyone else.
accessible

I work to make massage therapy physically, emotionally, and mentally accessible to people with diverse bodies and experiences.
body-neutral

Aligning with body liberation practices, your body will be respected and viewed with no judgement or comparisons.
I practice care, wonder, and gratitude for all bodies.
client-centered

The focus during your sessions is you. We will prioritize your needs, comfort, and safety. I will tailor our sessions to you and your body, and will practice continuous informed consent.
trauma informed

I will continue to learn best practices for trauma-informed care.
I structure all sessions around client agency and safety to make bodywork accessible for people with trauma experience and mental health conditions.
