When you think of Nalu Mana, think of pure, healing energy. "Nalu" means "wave," and "Mana" means "energy"—a perfect reflection of the gentle, flowing power Jay Santos aims to bring into every session.

Massage has always been an essential part of Jay’s life. Growing up in the Philippines, he was immersed in the tradition of Hilot Massage, an ancient Filipino healing art passed down through generations. It's not just a technique—it's a culture, a family tradition where elders lovingly share their wisdom with younger generations, ensuring the deep, healing power of touch is preserved.

Through formal training, Jay’s journey with Hilot evolved, blending the holistic teachings of his heritage with modern wellness practices. He believes in treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—because true healing goes beyond just the physical. This belief led to the creation of Nalu Mana, where Jay has combined his deep-rooted knowledge of ancient Filipino techniques with the best practices of allopathic medicine.

His mission is to bring the rich, restorative practices of Micronesian and Polynesian healing techniques—still rare on the East Coast—into the heart of New Jersey. At Nalu Mana, you’ll experience not just a massage, but a journey to restore balance, release tension, and reconnect with your own energy. Come let the waves of healing wash over you and experience what true, holistic care feels like.
