Jed Barnum

Jed offers an intuitive, nurturing, deeply relaxing and gentle Swedish/ deep tissue combo that may also include myofascial release, gentle coaching, and energy work. Jed proudly identifies as gay, and his practice is non-judgmental and LGBTQ and kink aware. He works with queer folks, people with disabilities, people of size, neurodivergent folks and transgender people.  His studio is located within Zoranovich Chiropractic at 12 Fair Ave, just off Mission St. in Bernal Heights, SF. He is a graduate of the National Holistic Institute 900-hour program,  and has also trained with Body Electric.

With his knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology, he often works on specific body parts or physical issues, but because he strongly believes in the mind-body connection he will also work on things like embodiment, awareness, and helping locate and shift emotional holds within the body. All massages include flannel sheets, unscented coconut oil, low lighting and soothing music for a relaxing, welcoming, and comfortable atmosphere. Jed is originally from Boston, has been practicing massage for over 20 years, and is licensed in CA since 2017. Member AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association). CA CMT 74081. He does not accept insurance but will happily provide receipts for service that can be submitted to insurance or FSA/ HSA accounts.

Jed says, "I'm passionate about helping people feel more comfortable in their bodies. Touch is vitally important. People should be able to receive massage on a frequent basis as an integral part of their lives. It fulfills me to see clients leave my studio feeling grounded and relaxed after arriving with tension, stress, or unhappiness, and I strive to help people care for their bodies more deeply in simple ways with regular touch. I came to massage therapy after working for many years as an educator and trainer in HIV prevention and public health and so I also bring skills learned in those fields to my work."
