Why I Chose To Be A Massage Therapist 

Why I Chose To Be A Massage Therapist 

I became a massage therapist partly from years of long distance running. I was getting a massage after running a race and the massage therapist said that if I liked getting massages and liked people, I would probably enjoy being a massage therapist. It's true! I love working with my clients- helping others de-stress and reduce their muscular pain/tension is very rewarding!

My Customized Approach To Therapeutic Massage and Skincare

My Customized Approach To Therapeutic Massage and Skincare

I trained to be a LMT (licensed massage therapist) through Sage School of Massage in Bend, OR.  Their focus is largely on clinical work- working the muscles specifically.

I'm glad I have that as my background in training as I do feel also wired to work on stress relief. My first 7yrs as a massage therapist was at Massage Envy in Bend, OR. That is where I grew in my confidence as a massage therapist. I spent about 6-7months working for Falling Waters in Bend and that is where I got comfortable with deep tissue massage. My favorite place that I've worked for as a massage therapist is Anjou Spa. While there, I was 1 of 3 LMTS working there as Anjou Spa was voted "Best Massage in Bend" in 2021.

That not only makes me feel Awesome, but also contributes to my own practice: it is my desire to provide a personalized spa experience as much as I can in my small, sweet and quaint space.

Testimonials

I loved the massage and overall experience I had at Bear Creek Massage. I was so relaxed and rejuvenated at the same time. The space is calming and peaceful. Jeannie is very respectful and made sure I was comfortable.


Jeannie has set up a very relaxing space for massage and facials. She gave me a very thorough full body massage and was able to concentrate on a few problem spots with a little extra attention.


Jeannie is amazing. You can tell she really cares. After every appointment, I've had I have walked out relaxed and pain free. She adjusts the pressure to your preference and takes the time on the areas that need the most work. I'm looking forward to my next appointment!
