Berkeley Wellness Center's Online Review Report Card

Excellent massage therapist, acupuncturist, herbalist, and all around wellness expert. Jay is one of the best there is! I have referred several family members, friends, and other people in my network and have been working with him for and year and a half.

Jay provides professional and caring support in a holistic fashion. He takes time to listen to your whole case in a manner that's rare to find in today's fast-paced world. He is a consummate professional, and his knowledge of massage and traditional Chinese medicine has played a major role in my ongoing care and healing.

Excellent massage therapist - we have used him for years - recommend without reservation

As someone who has received tons of highly skilled, professional massage, I can say Jay is absolutely one of the best. Strong hands, amazing sensitivity, skills and passion for the work. He absolutely has "the touch". I was very stressed out after spending all Summer with my young child as a single dad, and torn up from a massive road bike ride, and Jay's work was a god-send, working all the stress out of my nervous system, and relaxing and healing all my muscles. Highly recommended for deep, powerful, yet sensitive and deeply intuitive and knowledgeable healing massage.

Jay is the best massage therapist I have ever had and I've had deep tissue massages since the mid 70s. If you are a dancer, martial art person, runner, cyclist, sports person, or injured from activities, this is the masseur for you. He has very strong hands and a therapeutic ability. He has an excellent knowledge of anatomy and shares his knowledge so that you can pinpoint the exact muscles and relay this information to your physical therapist or sports medicine doctor. He has helped relieve my pain of a 8 to 10 level and worked my muscles back in shape for my sports. He is a jewel.

I have no idea what happened to the review I did, Yelp wants me to do it again so here goes: Jay is the best massage therapist I've ever been to out of dozens. Has a combination of strength, intuition, and endurance that is remarkable. He seems guided by some higher force. Uncanny knack of finding what is stuck and how to get it opened up, he also uses his new skills he is learning in Acupuncture/Chinese medicine school to add to his already off the charts knowledge of anatomy. I know of only one other massuese that can go 3 hours (and still have plenty left). Jay is one of a kind !

I have been a client of Jay for many years , try his timeless massage, 2.5 hours of good massage . He saved my back, and he keeps my body healthy and in shape Professional, friendly, good listener - you don't need to say much he always finds that particular spot and muscle needs more attention. I highly recommend Jay

Jay is the most talented massage therapist I have ever encountered. The level of focus that he has while he works is amazing. He will find that damn knot that is causing you pain without you even having to describe where it is! In fact, you might think that your shoulder is hurting you and Jay will find the spot in your hip that is connected to that pain and is the root cause. I have been going to him for years and have seriously gotten worried thinking about that day that I might have to move from the bay area -- where will I find another Jay?! I calm myself down by reminding myself that I will fly, hitchhike, drive, whatever, back to the bay to get good treatment if I need! Do yourself a favor and book a session. Did I mention that he teaches anatomy courses for other massage therapists? Yeah, he has mad knowledge and it shows in the level of care he provides. Simply the best.

Jay's Deep Tissue massage was amazing! Highly recommend going for at least a 90 minute session ... I am also a massage therapist so I'm picky and I felt like his touch was definitely aware and intuitive, going to just the right spots and applying the right amount of pressure. Obviously professional with a good knowledge of anatomy and how to work with specific issues. Thanks Jay : )

Jay gives an amazing massage. He has a strong, yet sensitive touch and is very tuned in. I've been giving and receiving massages for 20 years and highly recommend Jay's work.
