massage to slow down

We start by communicating safety to your body.

Using calm, slow pacing, your massage is shaped to allow your body to rest and enter a parasympathetic state.

help you body relax

Working with sustained pressure and intentional techniques allows your body’s myofascial system time to shift pain and tension patterns.

Your session can help you feel more relaxed and embodied. Together we will interrupt pain and tension patterns, giving you more comfort and ease in your daily activities.

customized for you

Your needs, health & injury history, and goals are the guiding forces.

Every session is a collaboration. Every session is unique.

“I so appreciated your good listening, your skilled hands, your kindness & respectfulness, for providing such a sense of safety and peace. I was amazed at the gentle touch, with occasional deeper touch that was SO effective!!”

  • This was my first experience with Sarga massage and Jae guided me through what to expect and answered some questions I had, which made me feel super comfortable from the start. The deep, sustained pressure on both large and small muscles, and Jae’s balance of strength and gentleness was amazing! Afterwards I felt centered and refreshed. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and attuned massage therapist, you’ll be in great hands (and feet!) with Jae.

  • I recently have received a Sarga Bodywork session and it was surprisingly relaxing... The slow glide along with deep pressure from the foot is very tolerable due to a larger surface area than a hand. With my ADHD, this slow deep compression type of work was very calming for my brain and I started falling asleep once I was face up!

    Joanna

  • Jae was just wonderful. They were so attentive to my needs and wants for the session, and I felt so comfortable the entire time I was there. They checked in just the right amount, and they clearly know their way around a massage table. It was great to spend time with someone so friendly as well as skilled, and their dog (whose presence is optional, clients decide) is such a sweetie! I'm about to make my next appointment - I found exactly what I was looking for here!

  • I so appreciated your good listening, your skilled hands, your kindness & respectfulness, for providing such a sense of safety and peace. I was amazed at the gentle touch, with occasional deeper touch that was SO effective!!

    P

  • From the moment I was greeted at the door I knew this was going to be great. Very relaxing setting, and Jae was very welcoming. Their touch was perfect, and she was always listening during the massage. Very knowledgable about what they were doing, and explained everything as they did it. I am definitely doing this again.

    Donna

  • Jae is the first person I felt willing to try massage therapy with. I’m so grateful that I did. Jae asked me thoughtful questions and walked me through what would happen beforehand so there was trust building and communication. I look forward to continuing learning how to communicate with my body and meet their needs. I have a whole new appreciation and curiosity for what massage is now. I *highly* recommend.

    Renée

  • Wonderful massage! My boyfriend and I each got 30 min massages. I got cupping too. It was a great atmosphere, very relaxing, and one of the highlights of my time upstate! I will definitely go back! Cannot recommend enough.

    Kelley

  • I had one of the best massages I’ve ever had with Jae! I felt very listened to, and all of my comfort needs were met with enthusiasm. I highly recommend ❤️

    August

  • Jae is absolutely incredible. The combination of modalities (sarga, cupping, heat, etc) that they use paired with their intuitive touch makes every session feel so special and unique. Every session feels tailored to whatever I’m experiencing in my mind and body and is truly supportive to my healing. I’m so grateful for Jae.

    Liz

  • Jae’s warmth and client-centered approach have made her our family’s go-to massage therapist. I leave every session more relaxed and eager to return.

    Kate

  • The massage was amazing and Jae made sure I was comfortable the whole time. Will definitely be back!

    Meg

  • The myofascial work Jae did on my hip was the best experience! I went in not knowing what to expect and they explained everything as we went. I felt very comfortable and cared for. The day after has me feeling some much needed relief and looking forward to my next appointment! ✌🏼

    Colleen

  • I have been going to Jae for a while now- they are the first massage therapist that I feel like gets me. When I first started going to Jae, I was dealing with a shoulder/upper back injury that was affecting my daily life. Jae worked with me to figure out what worked best, introduced cupping, and got my shoulder feeling better than ever so I can get back to the gym safer. I continue going to Jae and recommend them to everyone! They listen and care and it truly shows!

    Katherine

  • I've had several massages by Jae in the past six months. Each time has been both physically and emotionally restorative, but there's a benefit cumulatively that I hadn't anticipated-- I've become much more thoughtful about my body and how it responds to different things in my daily life. I'm grateful for that and for the thoughtful explanations Jae gives to all my questions.

    H

  • I have been a repeat client of Jae’s for quite some time now. She is always attentive to my comfort and needs as a client. She puts great care and thought into each session we have had with extra focus on my problem areas as they arose. I have known Jae for a number of years and have been on the receiving end of her care and compassion as an individual and as a regular client. It is very difficult for my mind and body to relax. Today’s session with her left me completely relaxed and my body felt so much better! I highly recommend Jae and will be booking my next session very soon!

    A.T.

  • Jae was absolutely phenomenal! Her calm and friendly demeanor made me feel entirely at ease and her knowledge of massage therapy was apparent and appreciated. Working with her feels truly like body therapy- something that not only feels good but is also genuinely good for my body. As a lifter and runner, I left feeling like my generally sore body was both relaxed and rejuvenated. Thank you Jae! Will be seeing you again soon!

    Sophia

  • I can say, without exaggeration, that my massage with Jae was the best massage of my life! First, her intake form and the conversation that followed was so thoughtful, making space and time for many different aspects of embodiment, comfort, pain, etc. Jae has an incredibly thoughtful, warm energy that made the massage feel safe and restorative. At several points during the massage, she checked in about my comfort level and my preferred pressure and to communicate clearly about what she was doing. I will be going back to Jae as often as I can, and will be spreading the word!

    Emily

  • My session with Jae was so restorative, both physically and mentally. She listened to my goals for the session and addressed them with care and clear communication. I really appreciated the mix of modalities and her explanations; I learned more about my body through this experience.

    H

  • jae is such a caring thoughtful practitioner, their approach to healing and the attention to my own individual concerns left me walking out way better than i walked in. i would highly recommend jae to anyone! i received my first sarga session ever and was totally blown away... not many practitioners in new york so we are very lucky to have jae!

    Emilia

  • Jae is a massage therapist focused on you and your needs. They made me feel comfortable and cared for from start to finish, taking time at the beginning of our session to ask what was going on with my body and pain. They provided a bespoke bodywork experience focused on the areas that needed extra attention and not just a set routine massage (this was also my first time experiencing cupping, and it felt amazing and definitely helped!)

    Kaylie

  • The massage itself was so relaxing and calming, but the real treat was the reduction in pain and aches I felt in the days following! If you're looking for a talented and attentive massage therapist, look no further!

    K

  • My experience with Jae from was wonderful from beginning to end. I appreciated Jae's mindful approach and felt very cared for during my massage. The hot stones were a treat and I felt great for days to come. I look forward to my next visit!

    Dina

  • Jae is thoughtful and intentional about the details of her approach, and her emphasis on inclusivity was apparent and so appreciated. As a person with scars from a gender-affirming surgery, I tend to feel hesitant about receiving massage, but she was compassionate and made me feel comfortable and accepted.

    C

  • Wonderful experience! Jae is warm, down-to-earth, and skilled in multiple massage modalities. She prioritizes clients’ comfort and is deeply thoughtful about every detail of the experience from the moment you arrive. Highly recommend!

    Marion

  • I really enjoyed my massage experience with Jae. She was super attentive and asked me about my preferences before we began. The hot stones were literal heaven on Earth. I also tried cupping for the first time which I was a bit nervous about, but Jae explained what to expect and it was a really wonderful experience. I will definitely be returning regularly.

    Stephanie

  • Jae's approach and methods are incredible. Every session is tailored not only to my individual body, but to my current emotional and mental state. It really is a whole human therapy. Jae helps me center, ground myself, experience the now. I leave every session relaxed, comfortable in this skin, aware of the boundaries of this body, more in tune and in sync with the world.

    Natalie

  • Jae listened carefully to what I wanted and needed both before and during the session. She helped me relax muscles I hadn’t known were tense, and she recognized what areas needed more attention and time. Afterward, I felt calmer and lighter.

    C

  • One of the best massage sessions I've received! Really wonderful atmosphere that allowed me to feel safe, relaxed, and at ease (enough to drift in and out of sleep during my session). Jae listened to my custom needs and catered the massage exactly as I needed! I highly recommend scheduling!

    Coral

  • Where to begin… Jae is person centered at her core. You are not just a client, you are human. Your goals, expectations, and comfort levels are at the forefront of every session. Working alongside Jae is a dream when it comes to addressing my body’s aches and pains.

    Joanna

  • Jae is a fantastic massage therapist. Great communication, great technique, and seamless creativity in providing top notch body work. Their practice is a very comfortable environment and can even include the presence of their canine assistant.
