There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy
– Friedrich Nietzsche

He continues to pursue his mission of helping others through instruction and private practice in Portland, Oregon.
JAY ALVARO
LMT CPT
I cannot recommend Jay Alvaro's bodywork highly enough. The work is deep and creates lasting change. I had an injury for over 7 months that was stubborn to heal and it was 90% better after a single treatment. I am a physician and I only refer to practitioners whom I can wholeheartedly stand behind and Jay Alvaro is one of them. I also recommend his personal training and classes at the new Sellwood studio.

LIFE CHANGING
Jay is a wonderful healer. The work he does is life-changing, and shifts your energy to a more productive place. Every time I see him I leave feeling more courageous of heart, more inspired, and more energetic. The session is hard and at times painful, but the feeling after is the best feeling I've had without drugs.

RARE QUALITY
Jay continues to be consistent with his technique, approach, and intuition. It is hard to find a practitioner with his level of commitment to his craft, intelligence of the body, and willingness to craft treatments that are effective on a physical, emotional, and educational level. Truly one of a kind!

EXQUISITE HEALING WORK
Jay's strength and intuition in his massage work put him in a league of his own. My experiences are ever more profound over the years of receiving his healing touch. I think of him as a healer rather than simply as a massage therapist, as the work moves with depth through my body/mind unraveling tensions and restoring integrity. I recommend Jay for his supreme gift of healing.

POWERFUL HEALER
I've never had a massage experience quite like I have with Jay. He kind of blows my mind every time he works on me. I feel comfortable and safe while we work through parts of me that hurt and when I leave, I'm floating and the pain I was feeling when I walked into his practice is gone. I have been struggling with a foot injury for over a year now and it's improved dramatically after just a few visits. He really knows what he's doing. I can't recommend him enough!

STELLAR SKILL
Jay offers a truly potent healing craft of uniting breath and bodywork! His therapeutic approach is grounded, powerful, thoughtful, and comforting. Incorporating a series of breathing excercises to bodywork helped induce a gentle reset of the nervous system- to engage more of rest & digest mode instead of the stressed / control state I (many of us) can get caught up in. By end, arrived at a sense of clarity and relaxation - mentally and physically. Do yourself a favor and get on his table.

EXCELLENT
Jay is an amazing body worker and healer. He helped me work through many layers both physical and energetic. I felt he was right there with me and extremely present the entire treatment. His flow incorporates a variety of modalities that are seamless and appropriate for the moment. After his treatments I feel like I have both melted into the earth and flown to the moon, in the best way. I am a body worker myself and appreciate his skill and attention to detail. I most definitely recommend him.
- Kileen S
I have never had such an experience. Jay invites his clients to walk forward and meet themselves in a safe sphere of healing; he will heal you as far as you will allow yourself to be healed. Physical pain from repeated injuries on one side of my body, as well as fear-based emotional blockages, were coaxed from me with groundness, strength, tenderness, and mastery. See Jay if you are ready to begin the journey of unfolding into deep healing.

Jay does bodywork that has the effect of aligning the whole system, physical, mental, emotional. I always walk out of the room feeling more myself. I have never had a massage therapist that could help to unwind such deep and longstanding emotional patterns. I will always be grateful for the work that he has done with me!
