Overview

Hello everyone, my name is Gabriel and welcome to Healing Bodywork.
I've been a massage therapist since 2017 currently working out of a private studio in Hillcrest. With over 5,000 sessions in I care about this work more than ever.
My massages are special because each session is tailored to you as perfectly as i can. My goals during the massage are to follow your goals, whatever they are since the time is yours. My technique comes from years of... working on all types of people as well as mentoring from therapists with 30+ years of experience. My intuition comes from my martial arts background specifically Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that i am a Black Belt in and have trained and competed around the world since childhood. I'm certified by the California Massage Therapy Council, and member of the American Massage Therapy Association. I recently completed a workshop on somatic and soul-centered therapy because I believe physical touch goes beyond superficial touch. I don't take it lightly that people trust me with their health and their time. That is what drives me to keep growing in this work. If any of this sounds like what you're looking for, reach out. I'd love to hear what's going on with you.

Testimonials

Gathered by Gabriel from admiring massage clients to share with you.

April 28, 2026 in San Diego, CA (mobile)

I still cannot get over how good that massage was. Ive had plenty of massages since moving here, and you were by far the best.

Feb. 25, 2026 in San Diego, CA (in-studio)

Gabriel is so intentional & gifted in the massages that he offers. The stretching and massage therapy was thorough and I felt a noticeable release in my muscles and joints. My body felt aligned, relaxed, and tension-free afterward. It was both therapeutic and rejuvenating, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. If you are looking for someone who goes beyond, just a classic massage and really helps your body feel loose and pain-free again this is where you want to book!

I just wanted to say that I appreciate you so much.

The best part of my day when I come see you for massage.

You make me smile, make me feel so good about my well-being and help me get through my stressful days.

You truly are amazing.
And the best thing that ever happened to me.

I am so lucky to have you as my friend and my personal therapist.

There are no words in the world to express my gratitude.

You are an amazing person and have a great soul.

I love everything you do and the effort you put into your work.

Thank you. You are simply the best at massage.

Please never change.

My hips, my legs, my sinuses, my neck....dang Jax - i feel like a new man.
Thank you for great massage

What can I say about Jax? This is someone who should be studied! His massage not only surpassed expectations, but also surprised me! Multiple times I said, “Oh wow” because of how amazing it was. After our brief consultation, he took me on a journey, helped work out problem areas, and created a peaceful atmosphere where I could float away.

He covered everything I would want. Clean area. Quick to respond. Warm and welcoming. Very good looking. Great massage. Will be booking again ASAP.

Don’t pass up on this one! Stop scrolling now!

First time getting a massage with Jax.
The session was VERY relaxing. I had some things I was dealing with and Jax made me forget all my troubles for an hour.
He is very easy to talk to and very kind. I will definitely be seeing him again.
