Meet Jay and Heather
Meet Jay, LMT
I’m Jarod, but most people call me Jay.
Dewdrop Massage grew out of my own experience with injury and recovery. After an injury during my time as a U.S. Army paratrooper, I spent a long time trying to find the right kind of support. What finally helped was finding a massage therapist who took the time to listen, notice the details, and work with what was actually happening in my body.
That experience shaped the way I practice today. I started Dewdrop Massage because I wanted to offer that same kind of care to other people: focused, practical, and built around the person in front of me. My focus is to help you move better, feel better, recover better, and understand what your body needs in daily life.
I trained at the Denver Integrative Massage School, where I learned a wide range of hands on techniques and a practical approach to client care. My work blends Swedish massage, deep tissue, myofascial work, trigger point therapy, Thai inspired stretching, cupping, and focused mobility work. I like massage that is effective, specific, and responsive. I want the work to pay attention to what your body is showing us and adjust from there.
In the treatment room, I do not use rigid routines. Every session is based on what you need that day. Sometimes that means deeper focused work. Sometimes it means slower, lighter work. Sometimes it means stretching, cupping, or spending extra time on one area that keeps giving you trouble. We will check in, adjust, and make sure the work stays useful.
Outside of massage, I live a pretty grounded life. I spend a lot of time outside, moving my body, reading, gardening, going to live music, and spending time with my partner. I love hiking, climbing, camping, yoga, weight lifting, EDM, jam bands, and anything that keeps life feeling active, creative, and connected. I like having a mix of things that challenge me, things that slow me down, and things that are just fun.
That shows up in my work. I know what it feels like to train hard, carry stress, work around old injuries, and want to keep doing the things you love without always feeling beat up. You do not have to be an athlete to work with me. You might be active, exhausted, dealing with pain, or just trying to feel more like yourself. Either way, the session should meet you where you are.
Dewdrop Massage is an independently owned practice where all bodies are welcome. You don’t need to show up a certain way. Just show up as yourself, and I’ll take it from there.
Meet Heather, Licensed Esthetician
The idea of owning a spa grew out of my own experience with skin. As a teenager, I dealt with terrible acne and really sensitive skin, and it sent me down a rabbit hole of research trying to find good quality products that actually work. That search is what sparked my love of skincare and self-care in the first place and led me to Lush.
I spent six years working at Lush before becoming an esthetician, which deepened my belief that natural ingredients and thoughtful care make a real difference, not just in how your skin looks, but in how you feel. I wanted to share my knowledge and passion for skincare with my friends, family and now you!
I trained at Aveda in Maryland, about an hour from Annapolis where I grew up. Waxing ended up being a surprise skill of mine in school that I absolutely fell in love with. Brazilians are my specialty, and I have a “no hair left behind” policy—so if smooth, hair-free skin is up your alley, I’m your gal. As much as I love doing Brazilians, my scope of practice is much broader, and I can take care of unwanted hair just about anywhere you’d like it gone, from brows and facial waxing to underarms, bikini lines, and more.
In the treatment room, skin is never one-size-fits-all. I tailor each waxing service to your preferences and comfort, with time to talk through what you want and adjust as needed. Facial treatments are planned and are not yet available to book. I look forward to sharing more when those appointments open.
Outside of the spa, I’m a proud cat mom, an avid fantasy novel reader, and I love spending time with friends and family. Since moving to Colorado, I’ve loved getting out and exploring everything the state has to offer. I am also going back to school this winter to start working towards my RN licenses so eventually I can offer botox and filler.
I am so excited to start helping you work on your skin care goals, if you have any questions please reach out to me via e-mail or instagram anytime. Thanks for getting to know me, Jay & I look forward to meeting you soon.
