What Massage Does
A good massage session brings an amazing body awareness that is often difficult to achieve on one’s own. Clients may not even know that they are slouching, or that they have a limited range of motion or pain, until it is discovered during a session. Our job is to provide body conscious therapeutic massage that will help you to heal and relax. We may also suggest specific stretching & books that we find useful, and will help to change your daily life for the better!
Additionally, massage increases circulation of your blood and lymphatic systems, which helps your body in cleaning up built up waste, assists your immune system in fighting off infection and heals injuries faster.
Whether you’re an experienced massage client, or booking your first appointment, there are wonderful benefits to be found here, at Blue Aura Massage.
Gift Certificates are available for purchase.
They come in $20 increments and make a great gift for any occasion.

When most people hear the word massage, they generally think of Swedish massage (also called circulatory massage). While Swedish moves are often used in every massage, there are so many other styles that can help achieve amazing results!
Are you a runner? Some table Thai might just be the thing!
Have a sore neck, maybe even whiplash? Neuromuscular therapy can help with that!
How about a tennis injury or a frozen shoulder? Some passive joint movement can loosen that up!
Happy reading, and feel free to ask any questions that you may have!
Circulatory or “Swedish” Massage
When most people think of massage, they think of Swedish massage because it is the type of massage traditionally featured in the spa setting. The therapist uses a lot of oil and long, gentle or firm strokes that improve circulation, calms the body, and relaxes the mind.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is designed to sink and melt deep into the muscle fibers, relieving chronic muscle tension, “resetting” the muscle, and purging the area of toxins, such as lactic acid and metabolic waste.
Lomi Lomi Massage
Lomi Lomi is a Hawaiian style of massage which is similar to Swedish massage, but utilizes elbows, forearms, and knuckles instead of the hands. Long stretches and full body strokes are trademarks of this amazing style.
Neuromuscular Therapy Massage
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is all about pain management. Trigger points are held in ischemic (blood starved) tissue, and will set off the nervous system with messages of pain that relate all over the body. NMT is specific, slow work, and uses localized deep tissue compressions and cross fiber techniques to deactivate the nerve impulses that cause pain. (This style is not recommended for the faint of heart.)
Sensory Repatterning/Passive Joint Massage
Sensory repatterning is massage for the ligaments, tendons, and connective tissue around the joints of the body. By gently undulating, rocking, and passively moving the skeletal system, the joints have an opportunity to release their memorized and often limited patterns of movement. It’s about repatterning what is natural, and becoming aware of what has been restricted.
Sports Massage
Sports Massage is typically used before, during, and after athletic activity to prepare for and improve peak performance, drain away fatigue, relieve swelling and muscle tension, promote flexibility, and prevent injuries. Minor injuries and lesions occur in muscles, due to overexertion and/or overuse, but massage can break them down quickly and effectively. Specific techniques vary depending on where the work occurs, and if the purpose is to warm up, invigorate, stretch, or cool down the specified area. Sports massage is a very thorough, rejuvenating massage.
Chair Massage/Acupressure:
Chair massage is convenient, fast, and great in formal settings such as places of business or casual “get togethers.” My chair can fit in practically any space, and is always a hit! Sessions can range from 5-30 minutes, per person, depending on the number of clients, and special rates/options for chair work are available.
Services Offered
Sixty Minute Massage:
Good for general well being, relaxation or to focus on one or two areas of the body.
Ninety Minute Massage:
Recommended when there is more than one focus area, when there are injuries, or when requesting deep tissue work.
Fabulous Extras
Dry Brush:
Exfoliation, increased circulation, pore cleaning, cellulite loss & improved skin tone are but a few of the benefits of regular dry brushing. Because each client gets to keep their own brush for sanitary reasons, a small fee is added for this service.
Hot Marble Foot Bath:
Add a couple minutes to your session to soak your feet in a warm foot tub filled with warm water, 12 pounds of hot marbles and sea salt. After they’ve softened, I’ll give you some heavenly extra foot work.
In calls:
Come to my Banker’s Hill office, 2 blocks from Balboa Park. It’s cozy, private and waiting for you. VIP parking space included!
Out calls:
Don’t feel like driving? I’ll come to you! I’ll provide the massage table, music, all the equipment and my massaging skill. Stay home and relax! Outcalls have an additional travel charge.
Massage is one of the best gifts you can give yourself, or another! Treat your body well, and it will take good care of you. Feel the Difference! Click here to contact us.

Client Name: Jamie
Testimonial: One Word: Brilliance.
Jayson was a lovely surprise. I walked in thinking that I would just be obtaining a nice afternoon massage and relax my worries away.
But Jayson took that to a whole new level for me. I told him where I was sore due to life's stresses and he not ONLY improved my neck movement but ALSO educated me on how to prevent the injury!
He told me about the muscles that were in pain. I felt better about knowing my body when I left.
The best part was within hours my neck movement JUMPED to full use, where as before I could barely turn it.
Thank you Jayson I will go to NO ONE else now. I recommended everyone and anyone to Jayson. I even just made an apt. for my mom to see him!
Jayson himself is a gift, but his talent is unbelievable. -Jamie

Testimonial: I met Jayson at his massage booth at SD PRIDE, and just came from an appointment with him.
His massage is so good! Oh my God! You have no idea. I feel like a whole other person, seriously. I didn’t even know my shoulders were up so high, but now that he has got them down, I discovered I have a neck and everything!
I’ve had a ton of massages, but this was AMAZING! I’ve never had anyone be so in tune with my body before….it was like magic how he knew where to go. I tried arguing with him that this spot on my leg was not sore, just ticklish…..NEVER argue with him! It WAS SORE, and he proved it! lol
Jayson is a very Intelligent massage therapist, a polite and professional guy, and I had a very wonderful overall experience.

Jayson's confident hands and massage is extremely therapeutic in regard to injury rehabilitation.

Client Name: Trevor G.
Testimonial: Jayson is the real deal when it comes to massage therapy.
I was pleasantly surprised by Jayson's knowledge of various modalities I had not experienced before, but which both felt nice and eased places of tension.
He is not the kind of massage therapist that asks what you want and then does something completely different.
He takes to heart your injuries and desires and creates a unique session to best me your needs.
I had become accustomed to having just okay massages, not ever really being satisfied. But Jayson was excellent.
I would strongly recommend him for people who either have specific points they want worked on or for those just wanting a relaxing massage.

Testimonial: I loved my massage with Jayson! He gives a very different massage than anything I've had before. I could actually feel my body changing.
I felt really different afterwards, and I wasn't slouching or in any pain. I felt like a totally different person!
I am scheduled again in a month, and I can't wait. Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

Client Name: Gordon Perez
Testimonial: I have an unpredictable schedule and always call last minute for an appointment. And Jayson accomodates me whenever he can. I haven't had the same massage from him yet. Every week it's something different. Deep or light or relaxing or painful. Whatever I need, he fixes me. I agree with all of the other testimonials I read on here, and I figure after a year and a half, I should put my own up here. Jayson is a very qualified masseur, and I use him all the time. I have never had a better massage from anyone else. He's the best.

Testimonial: Jayson is AMAZING!!! He is a friend of mine, but even so, when I walk into his studio he is so professional. He didn't treat me like someone he knew, I was a client. He was very respectful and made sure he was taking care off all areas I felt needed attention. After the massage I felt so relaxed and fresh. I have been recommending him to all my friends. I will not go to anyone but him from now on, he truly has a magic touch!
A small note on his studio. The area Jayson has set up is perfect. It is such a relaxing environment lit by candle light with the most soothing music in the background. I enjoyed his place more than any spa I've been to.
Again...Highly recommend seeing Jayson for your massage needs. AMAZING!!!

Client Name: Susan F.
Testimonial: Jayson, you bring calm to my life, thank you. I am impressed how you are able to match your open and gentle heart, and combine the international techniques of massage, including Hawaiian and Thai, to create a safe and natural healing session that matches no other massage I have ever experienced. You are a gifted healer and I believe that “when the student is ready, the teacher does appear.”
You have shown up on my radar screen, and are opening up my own natural healing process, and together we will succeed to change the "dark" to the light. As you know I was in a bad car accident two years ago and I have stored the trauma deep in some of my muscle tissue, and it is time to "let go".
Lastly, the jazz music is unique and allows me to really relax. And the contrast by ending the session with "Over the Rainbow" was great. Your style of massage for me is now the only way to go. I will be back again and again, you have natural talents as a healer and I am glad you are now in my life.

Testimonial: Jayson has been coming to our home every month, for the last year, and works on my wife and me. He is reasonably priced, and a very nice person. He is on time, polite, professional, and I’m very happy that his business is growing, he deserves it.
When he asked me to write a testimonial, I didn’t hesitate. I would recommend him to anyone. I have all ready referred four of my friends, and they love his work as well. Jayson gives a discount when you refer someone, but I always tip him anyway. He does great work!
I sent my son a massage for his birthday, and he is still talking about it. Jayson’s massage is always different, and depends on what you need. I know that no matter what is bothering me, he has the patience and the skill to improve it. I always feel great afterward! Keep up the good work Jayson, and yes, I’m using the Epsom salt!

Testimonial: Being an insider in the Healing Arts has made me very picky and critical about technique and intention of the practitioners.

I highly recommend Jayson!

Client Name: Ann
Testimonial: Jayson carefully finds out what my body is asking for as we start each massage, addressing any specific needs I am aware of. After my first maassaage, he KNEW my body was better served with a 90-minute session every third week, rather than a 60-minute every other week. His wide range of massage styles, combined with his strength and gentleness, is a rare find. An added bonus is his music that always seems to jive with his massages. I highly recommend his services.

Testimonial: Dear Jayson,
I really enjoyed the massage I received from you last week. You always make me feel safe and relaxed, with relaxed eye contact and a vast ocean of knowledge about massage.
I feel you bring a great deal of experience to my massage, through Lomi Lomi strokes, Swedish circulatory and deep tissue. You flow through the strokes with such ease and always focus on the exact areas I ask for.
When I asked for my arms to be worked on, because they get sore from doing massage, you even gave me two or more styles of massage that I was completely unaware of!
I can’t wait to do more trades with you and experience your amazing touch. Keep up the great work!

Jim Chialtas has always been a pleasure to work with. He is completely committed to helping his clients reach their optimum health. He has the training, the knowledge and the passion for teaching that puts him a step above the rest. Not only did he give me my first acupuncture session (it was surprisingly calming), but he also reviewed my blood chemistry, and showed me the vast resources he has at his fingertips when it comes to nutrition, exercise, pain management and overall health. He can create this custom made book that's all about you, based on your blood chemistry, and he then educated his clients about what's going on in your body and how to improve it! I was very impressed with him! -Jayson

Henry's market has been a fantastic resource for me as I have begun to shed excess weight, and change my health for the better. The associates are all amazingly knowledgeable, nice & helpful; I learn something new every time I shop there. I had a thirty minute discussion about veganism last time I was there. Their produce department is unbeatable, and they have the freshest organic variety that I've seen in San Diego. If you're looking to find premium health store food and supplements, or just looking to improve the quality of your every day food, Henry's has something to offer everyone! -Jayson
