Meet Your Host and Bodyworker

Jason Saxe

Jason is a bodyworker trained at the Pennsylvania School of Muscle Therapy, where he graduated in 2012, and has continued his education through additional studies, including work with John Barnes. Over the years, he has practiced in spa settings such as Hand & Stone and Massage Envy, while also developing a style that is uniquely his own.

His approach is gentle, intuitive, and presence-based. Rather than telling a client’s body what it should do, Jason creates a safe and loving environment where the body can do what it wants to do. He specializes in meeting clients exactly where they are and holding space for their experience, which has often allowed for both physical relief and emotional release.


Jason incorporates elements of myofascial release, offering sustained pressure to areas of constriction while inviting clients to stay present with sensation instead of getting lost in mental stories about discomfort. His work is collaborative and exploratory—he and the client figure things out together, trying what resonates and noticing what changes.

He works best with people who are curious about their experience, open to awareness, and interested in connecting more deeply with their bodies. Sessions are typically about an hour and a half, though they may continue longer if mutually desired and supportive.

At the heart of Jason’s practice is a simple intention: to create a space where people feel safe, cared for, and able to experience their bodies and themselves differently.

What is Myofacial Release Bodywork?

Myofacial Release can provide relief to far-reaching aspects of the body that are not immediately close to what’s being worked on.

We don’t feel things in English. My approach is a mind-body approach that encourages clients to stay present with body sensations rather than the stories we have about them.

Myofascial release is working with your fascia, which is this web-like tissue that wraps all your muscles and bones and goes through your whole body—even around and through your cells. It’s all connected. So when there’s a place that feels tight or stuck, I use gentle, sustained pressure there, and that can create relief in places that aren’t even nearby. It can feel kind of like magic, honestly.

What’s important for my clients to know is that my work is gentle and collaborative. I’m not trying to force your body to change or telling it what it should do. I’m creating a safe space where your body can do what it wants to do. We stay present with sensation instead of getting caught in stories about what we think is wrong. We try things, notice what happens, and figure it out together.

You don’t have to perform or fix anything. You just have to show up, be willing to feel, and let your body lead. That’s where the real shifts tend to happen.


Is This Work Right for You?

Jason works with people who are open, curious, and willing to be present with their bodies. His sessions are designed for those who want more than a standard massage—people who feel drawn toward a deeper, more aware experience rather than simply trying to “fix” a symptom.

This work is especially supportive if you:


Prefer gentle, intuitive bodywork instead of forceful techniques

Are interested in sensing and understanding your body, not just diagnosing it

Enjoy a collaborative process where practitioner and client explore together

Value emotional safety, compassion, and non-judgment

Are curious about how sensation, thought, and feeling connect


This approach resonates most with people who want to slow down, tune in, and stay present with what they feel.

This may not be the best fit if you’re looking for highly technical, outcome-driven bodywork or want a session directed in a very specific, rigid way.

Jason works best with people who want to receive bodywork in a safe space and are willing to stay present with their experience.

Testimonials

I’ve tried everything — chiropractors, PT, even acupuncture — but nothing gave me the lasting relief that Sage’s medical massage did. She listens carefully and tailors every session to what my body actually needs. After just three visits, my back pain is finally manageable, and I feel like I can breathe again.

As someone who’s constantly holding space for others, it means the world to have a space held for me. Massage Healing creates the most grounding, nurturing environment. Her hands intuitively know where to go, and I always leave feeling reset — physically and emotionally.

I had knee surgery a few months ago and added massage therapy to my rehab plan. Best decision ever. Sage worked closely with my PT plan and helped break up scar tissue, reduce swelling, and keep my muscles from tightening up. I'm back to training sooner than I expected.
