I’ll send special offers and the latest news.

Grief, loss and stress show up in your body.
Nurturing massage is transformative.

"One of the best massage experiences I have ever had.
I’ve been going through a ton of emotions after losing my friend,
but in that moment I felt so relaxed and I could feel her spirit with us."
- LC

♥ Single Healing Sessions:

Immediate physical restoration + mental and emotional relief.

  • Feel deeply nurtured and relaxed.
  • The massage can improve sleep, reduce the physical and mental load of stress + anxiety for up to 7 days afterward.
  • Be witnessed, heard and honored exactly where you are.
  • Note that unlike most massage practices, Held offers only 90-minute massages within a 2-hour appointment. This luxurious time is the magical sweet spot required for the full experience and benefits of our approach. (You deserve it!)

90 massage minutes: $250

"Heavenly. Everyone raves about you and now I know why."

"I highly recommend Held Massage Therapy to everyone!! Jess took the time to really listen to my story. She is super kind and welcoming, I felt comfortable to be myself with her. As someone who has health issues and anxiety, she was able to relieve a lot of my symptoms from one session. Jess is a rare soul who truly cares about people. I can't wait for my next session!"

♥ HELD Community Cares Nomination Program:

Because healing happens in community.

Too often funds are slim precisely when life is hardest, and the best care options seem out of reach.
We have been there, and Held is committed to giving back to our community through regular donations of money, time and service. As part of that practice, each month we set aside one 2-hour pro bono block for someone in need.

If you know someone who would benefit from the Held integrative model of care, yet is experiencing true financial hardship and cannot book a session for themselves, please consider a gift certificate OR nominate them for the Community Cares Program using the confidential form below. You may choose to nominate them anonymously.

  • If your nominee is selected, their pro bono session may be scheduled up to several months in advance, depending on level of community need and therapist availability.
  • In the past we've awarded pro bono slots to those experiencing: perinatal loss and/or severe postpartum depression; divorce and loss of financial security; death of a spouse or supporting family member; those with a catastrophic diagnosis; parents of children with terminal diagnoses or caregivers of a family member with chronic illness. These experiences are not a requirement for submission, rather examples of those who have found respite and relief here and may be a good fit.
  • If you wish to sponsor a massage session for someone in profound need, please email Jess directly or purchase a gift certificate and enter "Community Cares" in the Notes to Business section. You can choose to donate any amount from $25-250. Every bit helps as these generous donations enable us to cover costs for additional Community Cares recipients each month. Thank you!

Important to know…

We always affirm, respect and honor your safety and body sovereignty.
Your massage will be a new experience each time you come. You choose what areas of the body are touched, and which are not. You also decide on the level of undress that is comfortable for you that day.

Held Massage Therapy does not provide mental health services or counseling. All massage experiences stay within the licensed New Jersey Massage Therapists and Bodyworkers scope of practice, and massage techniques are not intended to evoke or elicit a particular emotional response. Click here for our list of recommended local mental health professionals.

"Experiencing body work with Jess is an invitation for deep nurturance, treating our interwoven bodies, souls and spirit with exquisite care. Jess' work is deeply tapped into an ancient and awakened life force, bringing forth a wise woman's healing art.
She is person of trust and tradition."
- Jill from Montclair
