Raised on the wild beaches of Western Australia, Jay’s approach to movement and bodywork is shaped by a deep connection to the natural world and the raw elements of life. Now based in Melbourne, he brings this grounded awareness into his sessions, offering a space where people can reconnect with their bodies in a supportive and attentive way.
Passionate about holistic living and the wellbeing of others, Jay’s pathway into Zenthai emerged through a natural ability to feel, listen, and connect with people on a deeply empathetic level. His intuitive hands, combined with focused attention, technical care, and a nurturing presence, allow him to meet a wide range of bodies and life experiences with sensitivity and respect.
Jay works with the understanding that every person arrives with a unique history held within their tissues and nervous system. Through mindful touch, assisted movement, and attuned presence, he aims to create the conditions for the body to release tension, restore balance, and move toward greater ease.
Jay says...
“Awakening through embodiment, where the way we do one thing, is the way we do everything. Showing up to life in a way that sparks life force through everything I do.
Zenthai has been a powerful framework for me because it honours both structure and intuition. There’s clear technique, but there’s also space for presence, creativity, and genuine relationship.
With a Natural playful nature, approaching my sessions with curiosity not only allows me to be present with the ancient technology of our beings, but also keeps me inspired to continue to spiral into new directions and depths."
Reflections from clients...
"Receiving from Jay felt like a blessing. From the moment I arrived, I felt safe, supported, and genuinely held in a space of deep calm. I especially appreciated the extra care and attention he gave to my injury. Jay creates a beautiful, grounding environment and the session felt deeply nurturing."
– Alina (uni student)
“I felt so held, I was stretched in ways I’ve never knew were possible, Jay is so talented at what he does and how approaches his bodywork sessions"
– Frank (personal trainer)
“Jay offers an incredible balance of technique, intuition, and presence. The session included deep stretches, focused work on tight areas, and moments of stillness that allowed my nervous system to settle. He communicated clearly and adjusted pressure whenever needed, which helped me feel supported throughout. I left feeling taller, freer in my movement, and deeply calm. It was one of the most complete treatments I’ve experienced."
– Emily (therapist)
