Meet the team

Jessie May

Jessie May specializes in Lymphatic Drainage, Myofascial Release, CranioSacral Therapy, Oncology Massage, Gua Sha, Deep Tissue and Swedish Massage.

Health and vitality is personalized and very multi-faceted. Jessie May’s life path has allowed her to lean into the aspects of her truest health and greatest vitality: exercise, genuine friendships, delicious and nutritious food, the accumulation of moments of joy, and being a massage therapist. At the age of 14, Jessie May began studying alternative wellness, including reflexology, aromatherapy and massage. In 2003 she became a Licensed Massage Therapist through the Monterey Institute of Touch, and has since helped thousands of clients along their journey towards wellness.

Jessie May specializes in Manual Lymph Drainage, and aids clients in creating their own lymphatic care routine. She studied CranioSacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute, and clients have the option of doing full treatments or incorporating CST into their massage therapy sessions. At a later point in life, Jessie May decided to enhance her education by completing her college journey. In 2013 she graduated from MSU with a degree in Community Health and a minor in Women’s and Gender Studies.

Mountain biking and bike touring are two of Jessie May’s favorite pastimes. Like most Montana natives, she’s a lover of the astonishing outdoors. Throughout the year she can be found backcountry skiing in the Gallatin range, floating and fishing the Yellowstone, camping throughout the state, attending any number of the wonderful events Bozeman has to offer, or traveling the world. All with her amazing husband and most loved pups.

Jessie May is the owner of Be Well Bozeman and the founder of the Launch Therapist mentorship program.

Matthew

Matthew specializes in Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point and Sports Massage.

Matthew has been practicing massage since the early age of six years old, when he was first employed by his Grandma to give foot massages. That career continued to grow as he massaged other family members, friends, and even animals.

Matthew began receiving massage therapy treatments when he was six months old, discovering therapeutic remedies for his allergies and chronic asthma. That created the momentum for him to address other pain throughout his life using natural remedies, yoga and massage therapy. In 2011 he earned his RYT200 from Yoga Now Chicago, and in 2020 he graduated as a Licensed Massage Therapist from Restful Touch School of Massage in Bozeman. He also has a BA in theater from Valparaiso University in Indiana.

Matthew has devoted his life to learning, and understands that all knowledge can apply to anything. He practices and studies music and art therapy, philosophy, theology, dream interpretation, guided meditation, mechanics, carpentry, design, yoga, breath work and reiki.

How does carpentry apply to massage? Consider the movement of sanding. The constant motion of taking small bits of sand to remove small bits of wood in a uniform plane to smooth surfaces and edges for nearly 10 hours a day. This practice builds endurance of arm muscles, perception of surfaces, angles, alignment, problem solving, planning and more. Matthew's approach to massage therapy aligns with this key piece of carpentry. "Breathe in through nose, out the mouth. Wax on, wax off. Don't forget to breath, very important." Mr. Miyagi, Karate Kid.

Matthew's approach to massage therapy is multi-faceted. He provides his clients self-care tools and stretches, meditations, music, lectures, book references, referrals to other healers. His goal is to serve each of his clients in the process of restoration in mind, body, spirit and the understanding of one’s self.

Pain is the teacher, healing is the lesson, release is the test, peace is the result.


Kelsey

Kelsey specializes in Deep Tissue, Swedish Massage, Abdominal and CranioSacral Techniques and Myofascial Release.

Health is a dynamic balance between stress and relaxation. It is influenced by our beliefs, lifestyle, emotions, connections, and movements. In our busy world it is easy to become imbalanced and overwhelmed. Massage therapy is an access point to regain balance, ease of movement, and joy through touch and relaxation. Kelsey studied the power of touch and the nervous system at Montana State University, achieving a B.S. in Kinesiology. In 2022 she graduated from the Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy completing a 700-hour course in various modalities including Swedish, Myofascial, and Trigger Point massage therapy.

Kelsey grew up in Montana, experiencing an active life in the outdoors. She began college aiming for PT school but after time abroad found peace in slowing down. Fascination with the body and desire for a slow life, naturally led her to massage therapy. After tearing her ACL, she experienced the magnitude to which this field creates space for healing and addresses the emotional connections to physical ailments and injury. The body is adaptable and knows how to heal itself, sometimes it just needs a knowledgeable nudge. Kelsey encourages all clients to prioritize their wellbeing so they may feel better and share their light with the world. All bodies, genders, races, and ages are welcomed into this space of restoration and self-acceptance. Come on in and enjoy the beauty of being you!

Kale

When you stare into the eyes of Kale Begonia, you're going to relax, that's just how it is. This beautiful Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mutt was lovingly adopted by Jessie May, and often joins her in the therapy room. Animals have an innate ability to sense our pain, sorrow, joy, and so much more. In addition to providing tremendous therapy to me, Kale has a deep-seeded intuition and offers her own type of therapy to so many of our clients. When she's not at the office she's usually off on an adventure; but at work, she's all about the belly rubs!

“Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can’t eat it or play with it, just pee on it and walk away.”
