If you're looking for a therapist with a caring nature, extensive experience, and advanced knowledge in oncology massage, lymphatic treatments, and pain management, Jay is an excellent choice. With over nine years of experience, he is passionate about helping people feel more comfortable in their bodies, whether they are navigating a health journey, recovering from injury, managing pain, or simply needing time to relax and recharge.

Born and raised in Samoa, Jay's journey into massage therapy began long before his professional training. Growing up, he witnessed the positive impact of massage and holistic healing within his community. Inspired by his parents, who served as a healer and midwife, he saw firsthand how the power of touch could bring comfort, healing, and connection to others. Those early experiences continue to guide the compassionate and client-focused approach he brings to every treatment.

Trained and licensed in the United States, Jay has developed a particular passion for oncology massage, lymphatic therapies, and supporting clients living with acute or chronic pain. He believes every person deserves a treatment tailored to their unique circumstances and goals. A lifelong learner, Jay is constantly expanding his skills and knowledge, recently adding Hawaiian Lomi Lomi techniques to his growing toolkit.

Having called New Zealand home for the past two years, Jay has become a much-loved member of the Vital Balance team. Clients appreciate his calm, friendly manner and his ability to make them feel both comfortable and cared for throughout their treatment.

Outside the clinic, Jay's greatest joy is his family. He loves spending time with his wife and twin sons, sharing his passion for music, playing the ukulele, and enjoying sports. If there's a karaoke microphone nearby, chances are Jay will happily take centre stage!

Warm, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to helping others, Jay looks forward to supporting you on your wellness journey and helping you feel your very best.
