About Loving Touch Massage Therapy and Kristen

NJ Massage License #18KT1227700

Hi, I’m Kristen Loving Jensen—a licensed massage therapist with a lifelong connection to healing through touch. Long before I became a professional bodyworker, I was giving massages at home with my mom. I saw how a caring, intentional touch could ease pain, calm the nervous system, and bring people back to themselves. That early experience shaped my path and deepened my belief in the profound power of safe, nurturing contact.

I originally studied social work, drawn to the emotional and relational aspects of healing. But over time, I realized that so many of us carry our stress and trauma in our bodies—not just our minds. That realization led me to massage therapy, where I could combine my empathy and intuition with hands-on skill to support people more holistically.

In 2015, I graduated from the JSG School of Massage Therapy and began building a practice focused on meaningful, therapeutic touch. Today, I specialize in slow, intentional bodywork that blends clinical technique with deep presence. I help people recovering from surgery, managing chronic inflammation, or struggling with tension that hasn’t responded to conventional treatment.

I’m a Certified Lymphatic Drainage Therapist (CLDT) through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies and hold advanced certifications in:

• Deep Tissue Massage
• Prenatal Massage
• Oncology Massage
• TMJ & Headache Relief
• Osteopathic-Informed Massage

Every session is tailored to meet you where you are—whether that means focused post-op care, chronic pain relief, or simply space to reconnect with your body in a gentle, grounded way. I integrate deep tissue, orthopedic-informed techniques, and lymphatic drainage with a calm, restorative approach designed to regulate your nervous system and support lasting relief.

At Loving Touch Massage Therapy, you’ll find care that honors your whole self—body, mind, and heart.

I can’t wait to welcome you.
