Hi friend!
I unfortunately was not able to make it to Trans Support Day this year (I had already signed up for a weekend class).
I made this page to put important info and links all in one place for you!
Hope you had a beautiful day of connection and support!
take care,
Jae Friedman, LMT (she/they)

Roll Model Method PractitionerJae Friedman
I focus on slow, myofascial bodywork that blends relaxation & targeted massage. That said, I am grateful to be in a field where my work can be continuously evolving based on my continuing education, changing needs of my clients, and newly updated research in manual therapy!
I am deeply honored to get to provide a healing environment for LGBTQIA+ clients. In a time where our queer bodies are pathologized, scrutinized, and targeted, I offer bodywork that is safe, celebratory, and nurturing for all that you are & all that you are becoming.

Yes, there may be times when receiving massage therapy would not be safe or helpful.
Active infections: massage is not advised if you currently have an active infection - respiratory (cold, flu, etc), skin infections, or anywhere in your body.
Certain conditions will require approval from your primary care physician to book your massage. These include: pregnancy, cancer.
Some conditions may require adaptations to your massage treatment, possibly avoiding certain body parts or adapting pressure or techniques used. These include: pregnancy, unmanaged high blood pressure, recent injuries or surgeries, compromised immune system, acute liver or kidney disorders, acute autoimmune disorders, surgical implants, advanced diabetes.
Your safety and health is the highest priority. I will communicate fully if there are any reasons massage is not advisable, or if we need to get approval from your doctor. If massage is not appropriate for you at a certain time, we can always make a plan for future treatments or talk about other safe, therapeutic bodywork or movement practices.
If you're unsure if massage is safe for you, contact Jae to talk it through!
ABOUT YOUR SESSION:
-
Intake: you and Jae will get to know each other by talking through your paperwork planning your session together
Settling in: Jae will leave the treatment room for you to undress to your comfort and lay on the table
The session: Jae will communicate throughout the session about what is happening and how you are feeling. Different modalities and techniques are used in all sessions to try to address pains, ease tensions, and help you feel more centered and grounded.
After: Jae will leave the treatment room for you to transition back into time and space. Once you are dressed and ready you can meet her outside the treatment room to check out and book your next session.

Please plan to arrive 5 minutes before your appointment time, so that you have time to settle in, and we can check-in while still starting your session on-time.
Life happens! If you are a few minutes late you will still be able to receive your full length session.
If you are more than 20 minutes late and do not notify me, I retain the right to consider that a no-show and charge you a fee. It is up to my discretion whether we proceed with a shortened session.
PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN
massage therapy
lower-cost massage sessions for anyone,
subsidized by tips
-
If you are a new client (have never worked with Jae before), please fill out this quick form!
When funding is available, my regular booking link will have the options for “pay what you can” sessions. You can schedule there.
-
“Pay-what-you-can” prices vary person to person, day to day.
But generally speaking: how much can you pay for your session without it being an obstacle to meeting your other basic needs?
-
Paying after your session:
Jae will simply ask “how & how much would you like to pay?”
You can pay with cash, check, Venmo, or card.
If you prefer to pay in advance, you can:
Venmo @jf-bodywork and include your name & date of appointment in the note.
email Jae to get a Square link to pay with a card.
-
Yes! Thanks for thinking of me :)
How I do it:
I separate out my tip money to apply towards these lower-cost sessions.
When money is available, I will have these pay-what-you-can sessions listed on my booking page.
So basically I am always paying myself the same amount for the session whether the client is paying my set rate, paying full price plus a tip, or they are paying less than my set rate.
-
PWYC sessions are only available to book when the option is shown on the booking page.
No more than 1 PWYC session per client per month.
