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

Emma specializes in Therapeutic Swedish Massage, Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Techniques.

Emma graduated from the Costa Rica School of Massage in November 2022. She studied modalities including Swedish Massage, Myofascial techniques, Trigger Point, and Craniosacral Therapy. Her dedication and time at massage school was valuable for her education, her personal development and her own journey towards discovering the tremendous power of self-care. She now incorporates stretching, yoga, journaling, walking, writing, and playing music into her daily life. And of course, regular massages, which have not only improved chronic pain patterns, but have also helped her to feel one with her body. Massage allows her brain to notice what her body needs, and together with her self-care practices, she is understanding the balance of life. Emma’s massage practice provides an empathetic, intentional, progress oriented, safe-space, where clients are listened to and heard. Through collaboration, she and her clients will create a plan that integrates different modalities to facilitate healing within their body.

Emma was born and raised in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, and in the summer of ‘24, she made the decision to move to Bozeman to work with the team at Be Well Bozeman! Her journey to becoming an LMT first began in childhood, when she grew up with a non-verbal family member. Emma noticed and acknowledged the significance of body language and healthy touch by observing and interacting with her sibling, who despite their intelligence, was unable to communicate through speaking. Touch is a language we all speak. Emotion can be recognized through the wrinkle of the skin on our faces, and comfort can be felt from the embrace of another body against our own. Every day our bodies react and respond to so many moments, and we seldom give them the attention and acknowledgment they need.

Emma’s massage practice provides an empathetic, intentional, progress oriented, safe-space, where clients are listened to and heard. Through collaboration, she and her clients will create a plan that integrates different modalities to facilitate healing within their body.

In her free time she enjoys swimming in rivers and spending time on big rocks in the sun, being outside, dancing, playing, seeing live music and spending time learning about Montana and the wonderful community of Bozeman.

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 joins her daily 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!
