Jay is literally the only massage therapist that can deal with my back and shoulder knots. He is extremely professional, friendly, and works in a clean environment. He works with you to ensure you have the best possible outcome. Can't recommend him enough, go see Jay! It’s been six years now and he’s still the absolute best. I have gone to high end resorts (kohler), spas on cruise ships and vacation spots… Jay is the BEST massage therapist out there. I drive 45 minutes to see him and he’s worth that and more.

★★★★★★★★★★Naomi CarteeNov 2025

I enjoyed my deep tissue massage with Jay immensely. He was very professional and the suite was super relaxing and squeaky clean. 10/10 would recommend. I hope to return while I am in the city.

★★★★★★★★★★Erin FoxMay 2025

Jay by the Bay is the BEST! I was recommended after looking for a new place to get a good massage. There is a solid "intro" price and worth trying. Jay gets right to business and is a phenomenal masseuse doing an excellent job with deep tissue work. I have been going faithfully every 4-6 weeks since! A gem in the 3rd ward!

★★★★★★★★★★JoeApr 2025

I scheduled an appointment with Jay after my regular therapist left the area. Now, I'm wishing I had been going to Jay all along. My first visit was honestly the best massage I've ever had. I lost count of how many knots got worked out. Jay was friendly and professional, and he definitely knows his stuff. His studio is clean, open and inviting. I will definitely be back.

★★★★★★★★★★Nick TimmJan 2024

I came to Jay limping with horrible pain in both of my knees. Lower back pain as well from over compensating for the knee issue. One 90 minute session and by the end I had no pain in either knee. I could walk without limping. I am so excited to finally have some relief. He is my new regular MT. The whole space is very caliming, clean, and relaxing. I highly recommend Jay. Just go for one session, see if he can help. It is worth it just for a relaxing massage.

★★★★★★★★★★Matthew RewaldNov 2023

Was bumming around Milwaukee and decided to treat myself, fortunately I found Jay on google and there was a last minute booking. Fantastic massage, definitely went deep tissue and he focused on a ton of knocks near my shoulders. Was sore after but totally worth getting those kneaded out. Will definitely book again.

★★★★★★★★★★David RaffelockMay 2023

Jay is very talented! He was able to release tension in areas that have been tight for a while. His massages are definitely therapeutic, and he truly knows what he's doing. He knew what sports I did just by feeling my muscles. I highly recommend a massage with Jay!

★★★★★★★★★★Haley HeimsteadApr 2023

Highly recommend!! Huge fan of Jay’s work, he never disappoints. Very attentive to what you’re looking to get out of your massage. I leave feeling rejuvenated every single time. I’d give him a 10/10 if I could!

★★★★★★★★★★Julie MurphyJan 2023

Jay is simply the best. I am a long-time client, and I won’t go anywhere else. His deep tissue massages are outstanding, and make me feel better for weeks after the massage. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

★★★★★★★★★★Joseph CassidyAug 2021

Jay is stellar. I entered a professional, welcoming, and clean establishment and was greeted by Jay. Before we started he asked about my goals for the session/any issues I’ve been having, and prescribed the perfect care for my needs. I felt listened and catered to. Jay also gave great conversation throughout the session and really took every measure to make sure I was comfortable. The session significantly helped my problem areas and I felt all around unknotted for weeks after. Will absolutely be returning for Jays professional and effective service.
