Juliet is awesome! I accessed so many excellent muscles that needed to wake up.

It's exceptionally relieving and strengthening . I always feel more stable functional and at ease from this movement process .

I started seeing Jay for massage last month after discovering that I've become crooked. Yep, crooked. Apparently my computer chair sucks rocks and has contributed to some lower back pain. I just started noticing from time to time that my posture was getting worse than usual, and I unconsciously started slumping to one side. Very attractive, no? Jay is the first massage therapist I've seen that really takes a whole body approach to your wellness - not just solving the problem of a tense neck or other problem area in one shot. To be fair, this is the first time I've considered getting massage on a regular basis, so it became important to me to find someone who was not only knowledgeable, but someone that I connected with, too. Many places I've visited in the past for massage focused on alleviating pain or just relaxation - which is okay, but I'm more interested in the bigger picture of overall well being. I'm no expert on massage techniques, but Jay's seems to be a fusion of reiki and traditional massage, with some Native American sensibilities in there as well. He's very in tune with your energies, and can provide guidance on whatever journey you may be on. I can't recommend him more highly! I'm making it a goal to stop in at least once a month and feel confident that I'll get my body back on the right track. A new chair would probably help, too. read more

I found Jay Kratz at the Yelperstitious event at Jet Hotel. I was suffering some rotator cuff pain that had taken me to the hospital, where I was placed on a 7 week waiting list for a Physical Therapy appointment. 10 minutes with Jay, and that was no longer an issue! I canceled the appt, and booked more with Jay. My second meeting was my first full session and I was very impressed with his office and his manner. I felt very relaxed and comfortable. He is very skilled at assessing where my body needed work. I left feeling wonderful, eager for our next session. read more

I discovered this wonderful place on Yelp! The great reviews and star rating drew me to make an appointment and visit Jay. What an amazing experience. I'm old- I know it- so of course little pains here and there are normal but my back and neck have been giving me some extra trouble. Jay did a wonderful job with getting out all the crazy knots and really soothed my troubles. He also gave me some great exercises which he said would strengthen some muscles in my back and stretches which he said would prevent the pain i've been having to happen again. All together I really enjoyed Sacred Space Bodywork and would love to schedule another sesson in the near future! read more

I first went to Jay, at the recommendation of my acupuncturist, about two months ago while I was experiencing debilitating lower back pain cause by bouldering. I've been to several different "message therapists" over the years but none that left an impression on me enough to continue seeing. Therefore, in the middle of my first session with Jay I instantly recognized he was at another level altogether. To label Jay as a message therapist I think is incorrect as he is so much more. He is a body/mind healer + physical therapist + emotional caregiver. I've been to see Jay about six times now and after each session I am aware of measurable physical and mental improvements. Jay is professional, intuitive, compassionate, centered, and knowledgeable. He is an excellent listener and observer and always is ready to show me exercises to aid in the improvement of my body's structure and well-being. And that lower back pain? Between Jay and the acupuncturist (see my 5-star review of Michael Allen at Accelerate Health) not only is the lower back pain gone, so are the regular sleeping issues (waking up at 3am from back pain) I experienced prior to my injury. I will never see anyone else other than Jay as long as he practices within driving distance! read more

After seeing Jay for the first time last summer, I knew I'd been spoiled and that there was no way I'd consider seeing anyone else. I'm a pretty active runner and climber that's acquired a few injuries over the years. After my first visit, my sciatica (that I've been struggling with for 4 years) improved dramatically. After my second visit, it disappeared. I've been seeing him monthly since. I've seen lots of massage therapists over the years, but I've never walked away feeling as though all of my needs were taken care of. Jay's been the exception to the rule. He has an incredible talent for listening to what your body needs and addressing it. He's sincere, he cares about his clients, and he's an active participant in the healing process. I can't recommend Jay highly enough. As an aside, after my first appointment, I convinced my *very* skeptical husband to see Jay. When he came home after his first appointment, he was sold. You will be too. read more

Meghan read my body and did the work that needed to be done. Been working here for a year and it's made all the difference! Pain free!

The classes are amazing. Looks like nothing but it is really something. The instructors give great explanations as to how to do something and why we are doing it. I know that if I keep working at getting my body aligned properly it is going to have long term wonderful effects. I want to be able to walk and move when I am 95 and this is going to get me there. read more

Where do I begin? I've been experiencing Jay's magic for 4 years now. With his help, I am able to dance physically and emotionally. I have 2 herniated disks that stopped me from living my life the way I wanted to, but because I see Jay bi-weekly, I hardly ever notice I have a back injury. He also works with my spiritual and emotional baggage so I can be more clear. I always leave his office feeling lighter and happier. Jay is in my top 10 list of the most amazing people I have known! I am so grateful for you Jay! read more

Meta MVMT is unlike any trainer or massage therapist you have ever seen. Founder Jay Kratz's innovative bodywork, massage and personal training methods help you see how your body's alignment affects the way that you move and the way that you feel. With this information you can work on the patterns and habits you've developed, and build a more aligned and integrated musculoskeletal system. The sore neck, knotted shoulders, or stiff back that have you searching for a massage therapist in the first place will be fixed here, but you will also improve the way your body functions all of the time so that you can avoid the problem in the first place. For me, this is truly an investment in my health and my future. read more

I felt completely relaxed and energetic afterward. Jay really focuses on forming a connection with you and helping you maintain that good feeling after you've left. He ties in the physical work with your mental and spiritual state of being, taking a truly holistic approach to what most other masseuses leave at just a rub-down. What impressed me most what the amount of time he took not just getting ready but afterward, making sure I was comfortable, that he'd done what I'd asked for and giving me feedback on my own state. read more

I just returned from a 90 minutes massage by Jay. Incredible! I can't thank the previous reviewers enough for steering me to Sacred Space Bodywork. I have been to spas all over the world and have never had a better massage. The experience from start to finish was more than I could ever have expected. To meet someone for the first time and feel so comfortable within minutes is unusual. His technique is truly magical. Sorry to go on and on, but it was really that good. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with jay. read more

I've been going to Jay regularly now for just about two years, and feel its time to update my review. I still think Jay's work outshines any therapist I've gone to, and I highly recommend his work, particularly to athletes, as he's helped me prevent a presumably serious shoulder injury, and has been an integral part of my recovery from ACL/meniscus surgery from earlier this year. In my opinion, these are Jay's biggest strengths and what sets him apart from many others: He not only treats you when you're on his table, but he educates you on the causes of your injury or pain, gives you "homework" to facilitate a quicker recovery and prevent a relapse. His knowledge scopes far beyond the minimum requirements of a CMT - he understands kinesiology and anatomy, and employs that knowledge to treat the root cause of your ailment (for example, debilitating shoulder pain that I blamed on competitive volleyball was truly a byproduct of poor posture). Jay is really into continuing education; he's always been in a class advancing his knowledge base the two years I've been seeing him, so his work is always evolving to treat his clients more effectively. Additionally, Jay now teaches at the Massage Therapy Institute of Colorado, so he is regarded as a leader in the industry, and is immersed in the most current practices. read more

I visited Jay last year for some issues in my hamstring and lower back. He's an attentive masseuse and is open to talking through areas of tension. But he opted to "adjust" my pelvis after noticing it was out of alignment (it was), though he is not a chiropractor. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with the repercussions ever since - my pelvis bones have been out of whack and I've spent a lot of money and time on physical therapy and doctors visits to recover from my appointment with Jay. A year later, it's still going on and affecting my quality of life. Yes, I could have said no, but he acted as though he knew what he was doing... Go to see him for massage, sure, but if you have bigger issues, avoid. read more

Honestly, the best massage I've ever had! Jay is an incredible massage therapist, and he truly wants to help you feel better. The best description is holistic healing. When you leave not only are your body and muscles relaxed, but your mind and spirit are too. read more

I started seeing Jay last month after my upper back and neck pain was really starting to have a negative impact on my life. He is absolutely a healer and I can really appreciate his holistic approach. I felt comfortable with him right away because I could tell he really listened to my concerns and then focused his work on my needs. I've been feeling better after each of our sessions, and will be coming back twice a month. I mentioned Jay takes a holistic approach to healing, and I'm always amazed at how my mind and spirit feels lifted after leaving. He is very intuitive about what you are going through and serves as a guide. I enjoy the mind-body-spirit synergy that I feel when I leave. You won't have to look any further after a session with Jay - he is a highly skilled practitioner and will have you feeling better in no time. read more

Jay is an exceptional person, healer, and friend to many. Bodywork with Jay is physically and spiritually healing and an education. He knows much more than just massage techniques. He can explain the physiology and the psychology behind the hurt and the healing. I highly recommend Jay to all. read more

I had my first massage today from Jay. It was pretty amazing! I'm a bit of a bodywork junkie, and I have to say that Jay impressed me. I feel wonderful and revived. He's very professional, thorough, and made sure to address my specific areas of tension. My neck and shoulders feel so much better. read more

I am quick to write negative reviews about businesses that fail to satisfy me but today, I feel great after months of discomfort in my shoulder muscle. Jay Kratz worked on my shoulder/neck/arm/spine and he performed exceptional magic to heal me. Few hours later, I am here at home feeling light and smelling so good. For sure, I shall return for another session. I am glad I discovered Sacred Space. The space really did feel sacred. read more

This might be a good facility for learning your muscles. As I have encountered, your technician is being blocked and overshadowed by others whom are wanting the space and mirrors and attention, leaving my sessions put in the corner of the space with scribbled notes .. paid $85. Each session but it was hard to get a receipt. Meg's inappropriate comments are still bothering me. read more

As a bodyworker myself, I am pretty picky about who I see. I have seen Jay twice now, and couldn't ask for more from a therapist. Jay uses a wide range of techniques to get to the root of whatever you want to work on. His knowledge of anatomy is amazing and he is able to really work with you on a deep level both physically and intuitively. I also appreciate that he is respectful and never goes too deepl for what your body is responding to. His demeanor and presence is calm and healing. I hope to see him many times in the future! read more

I began seeing Jay several months ago when I began experiencing pretty severe and constant lower back and leg pain made worse from sitting at a desk all day. I went to Jay on the recommendation of a friend and he has helped me so much! He really takes a whole-body approach to pain- not just working on the affected areas. Not only did he help relieve pain in my back during our sessions, he also gave me different stretches and exercises to do on my own to help alleviate pain. Jay is constantly learning and researching new ways to help his patients and you can tell that his goal is to really help people. He is very knowledgeable and skilled at what he does and I would recommend him to anyone who has body pain or just wants a really great massage. read more

I really like Jay at Sacred Space. He has shown me there are two approaches to relieving aches and pains in your body. You can go to a massage place, get copious amounts of oil rubbed thoroughly on your body by a man you're mentally envisioning is a Swedish bombshell, get rubbed and dug into so hard you feel like the imagined Swede is digging for diamonds and feel better for a day or two. You can also go to Jay at Sacred Space Bodywork where he does some things like looking at you, shaking your various body parts, saying things that are totally incomprehensible such as your bones are too far apart here, and that's why you always roll your ankle. Or he may just say your such and such muscles (which I was never taught about in my Anatomy and Physiology class) are too weak or causing your something or other to click in your shoulders. He might say, as nice of abs as you have, you're abdominal muscles are pulling everything in, so we need to counter that with your such and such muscles in your back by strengthening them. Then he might rub you, and unfortunately, it's hard to imagine him as a Swedish bombshell because his voice is too deep. Then he gives you homework such as stretches for some muscles you didn't think could stretch. He might also give you exercises to strengthen the such and such muscles so your gluteus minimus doesn't hurt anymore. Regardless, he seems to really know what he's talking about, he takes a whole body aproach that some might consider new age but if it works, I don't care. Plus he and the staff I've run into have all been very considerate, polite and friendly. read more

I was struggling to recover from hip bursitis while training for a marathon when a friend told me about Jay and his work. I will admit that after my doctor, an ortho, a chiropractor and a sport therapy specialist that I would (and had) tried anything to find a way to heal. The best thing happened right from the beginning, Jay assessed what he saw, asked me what I felt and then explained what he expected would help... before anything happened. It was a nice change from being a "patient" that was going to have another test scheduled. All I would tell you as friendly advise is don't wait as long as I did to look for someone like Jay to help you get back to feeling like yourself. I have gone from hip, lower back pain with a slight case of drop foot to training again without pain and feeling stronger everyday. Thank you Jay. read more

My children were kind enough to purchase a massage for me from Jay. Little did i know how very special the experience would be with Jay. I came in thinking i would get my "massage" but when he asked me if there was anything bothering me i shared that i was having a bad time with TMJ. He proceeded to address it with meticulous and knowledgeable attention. I felt safe with his quiet confidence......he felt like a healer, so much more than what i had expected! I've been to him 4 additional times. Each time he's had a thorough and fresh approach to dealing with some of my discomforts. He has also given me exercises to do at home daily which have been very helpful. I can't recommend Jay enough........he's the real deal.....your relationship to your body, and your awareness of it will be transformed with Jay! read more

I have been receiving therapeutic massage for 20 years, and Jay is by far one of the most talented and knowledgeable massage therapists I've ever seen. I appreciate his holistic approach -- addressing both the mind and body -- as well as his willingness to teach stretches and exercises that will prolong the positive effects of his work. While most massages feel great while you're getting it, and might last a day or two, after seeing Jay, I often feel great for a few weeks! I have no reason to try anywhere else. Jay is a master at his art! read more

I just want to say that Jay is a fantastic therapist. By the results I've experienced, it is obvious that he is skilled in his craft of advanced bodywork. Not only is he a skilled massage therapist, but he has done amazing things to my shoulders to help relieve pain and discomfort that I've been experiencing which no other therapist has been able to successfully remedy. I highly recommend that you contact him and set up an appointment! Additionally, Jay is very professional, friendly, and works well with Deaf clients like myself! read more
