Meet Hawk - Adaptive Healing Specialist

I’m Jay, also known as Hawk. I’ve spent decades studying the structure of the body through martial arts, bodywork, and intuitive awareness. My work bridges therapeutic massage, myofascial release, and energy healing to support your full self—physical, emotional, and energetic. Each session is personalized, intentional, and grounded in both modern technique and ancient presence.

What to Expect in a Session

Jay, an experienced massage therapist in Winnetka, CA, performing shoulder and scapular release work on a client during a therapeutic bodywork session.

Every session with me is a co-creation. I begin with a brief assessment to understand your needs. Whether you’re navigating chronic pain, recovering from injury, or simply needing an energetic reset. From there, I integrate techniques like Shiatsu, myofascial therapy, and intuitive energy work to restore balance, release tension, and awaken your body’s innate healing potential.

Expect a grounded, intentional experience where pressure, pacing, and energy are attuned to you.

Clients come to me for:

  • Chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain

  • Stress-related tension and overwhelm

  • Post-injury recovery or rehab support

  • Energetic imbalance or spiritual heaviness

  • A safe space to relax, release, and reconnect

     


Modalities I Work With

Each session draws from a blend of therapeutic and energetic practices. These modalities are adapted in real time to support your body’s needs and your healing journey.

"Jay is the best CMT I've ever had. He is very professional, knowledgeable and customizes every session to what my body needs that day. He is very good at figuring out why I'm experiencing pain and tension in different areas of my body and how to correct it. He's also mindful of my past injuries and my skin sensitivity as well. That is a huge thing for me because other CMTs have hurt me or have been inpatient with my body in the past. I always feel safe and comfortable with Jay! The sound therapy he has incorporated into our sessions has also been very enjoyable. As a person, Jay is very thoughtful, easy to talk to and a kind soul. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs body work done. You won't regret it!"

And also unlimited possibilities which Jay able to open and do during the session - it’s not only energy work, it’s bodywork and thousands of other methods and techniques which he learned once and now can use and mix together and provide healing experience in so many ways and teach and educate as well while he’s working to give some different vision and understanding about body / energy .. forever grateful 🙏🏻❤️"

"Jay’s bodywork session was truly a game changer - not only for my body but my mind as well! His approach to holistic massage therapy mixed with his martial arts knowledge really sets him apart from other people!

He’s really educational and helped me understand my own body mechanics so I can sustain long term healing for myself. I got a lot of value out of our session. I feel like a new person. And I would recommend anyone to go to him!"
