About Jay
I have practiced massage since 2012. I take what I do seriously and strive to offer the best possible services to all of my clients. Each and every client is my teacher and I learn so much from all of you: thank you!
Outside of my profession I enjoy being outside in the sun.
Massage, tea, tarot cards, bicycling, travel, cats, love, cooking, community, the environment, working on making our world a better place, and the daily practice of Tibetan Buddhism consumes my days.
Acknowledgments
On the way to becoming an LMT I received incalculable help from Maris Orelia Bergrune. If you are interested in spending an hour, a day, months, or years working on deep, soul-level, self work, she’s your bad a** spiritual warrior guide!
If I am any good at all at showing up as an amazing healing ally for myself or for others- whether in the treatment room or not- I attribute most of this ability to my long standing meditation practice. In a tiny house in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle in the year 2000, the Very Venerable Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche cracked my mind open just so and planted a tiny seed which continues to sprout…
Thank you to Annelie Kahn who built this website!
What People Are Saying
It’s rare to come across an LMT as skilled and caring as Jay Wence. He has been expertly treating me for a few years, mainly for muscular dysfunction due to running and being at a computer all day. Jay is especially gifted in working on the issue(s) you have, while also gently encouraging you to think about (and maybe address) underlying factors and causes. It feels like Jay’s purpose in life is to help or give to others, which is appropriate because that’s exactly what he’s doing! Oh, and if you’re a talker, Jay has a most unique and refreshing perspective on life. As a massage therapist and outstanding human being, Jay has my highest recommendation.

Jay is fantastic! He provided me with an I Ching reading today at a most needed crucial, life-changing time in my life. He helped me connect with what I really needed to discover in order to propel forward and reach my dreams. I appreciated how he explained the oracle and how the reading worked to maximize the potential it could provide to best answer my questions. He was compassionate, kind, listened actively and was generous with his time. I left feeling motivated and sure-footed about my path. Thank you Jay!

If you want deep-tissue massage, he is your man, but it doesn’t stop there! If you’re like me and not athletic, you will find he knows how to work with you too. Jay uses hot stones which feel wonderful. Furthermore, I always appreciate how he looks beyond the surface and conveys his findings in a way that helps me have better self-understanding. This comes across whether he is assessing my muscles so he can massage them, or assessing how my spiritual-emotional self is affecting my physical body. Jay's massage, meditation and spirit-body medicine are thorough, focused and kind.
