Your Team
Who We Are
Jasmine Giroux
Owner & LMT
When I’m not engrossed in the therapy room, you can find me recharging in the beautiful Montana outdoors, in the hot yoga studio, or curled up with my cat and a good book.
After graduating with a Bachelor in Science I found myself continually fascinated with the biology and potential of the human body.
I am committed to a path of excellence that involves constantly learning while striving to continually broaden my knowledge, so that I may better serve you in your pursuit toward that potential.
As a Montana licensed and insured massage therapist I am driven by the prospect of helping you part with pain and discomfort.
It is a great honor to be your therapist and have the opportunity to collaborate with you in the process of enhancing your quality of life.

Jess Niewoehner Manley
LMT
As a young adult Jess struggled with chronic health issues and was advised by her doctor to seek out massage to calm her nervous system and alleviate stress. Regular massage therapy proved to be a highly effective tool in her healing journey. Jess was inspired by her first hand experience and knew then that she wanted to provide that experience for others.
After medically retiring from soccer her senior year, Jess graduated from Oregon State University with a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Minor in Sports Injury care in 2014. Jess has been a licensed massage therapist since 2017. She utilizes a combination of Swedish, deep tissue, neuromuscular techniques, myofascial release, cupping, and heat to deliver a comfortable, customized therapeutic massage.
When Jess isn't working her craft, she is either outside enjoying nature or having a quiet night in while reading, painting, or engrossed in a movie. For Jess and her husband Ben, attending church on Sundays and serving the community.

Nate Waldvogel
LMT
Nate discovered his passion for bodywork early in life. He always seemed to be drawn to human touch and was repeatedly told that the quality of his touch was worthy of becoming a massage therapist.
In 2017 he took the leap and became licensed. He continues to hone his craft and is thrilled to have found his calling while also being of service to his community.
Nate's presence is warm and welcoming and the comfort and trust of his clients is his utmost priority. His style is a fusion of therapeutic and relaxing techniques. He executes his work both with precision and flow while holding space for his clients and their specific needs. He provides excellent Deep Tissue work and holds himself to the highest professional standards.
Nate is a native Missoulian and spends much of his time exploring our beautiful, wild lands.
When he's not in the treatment room, he's out living the Montana lifestyle: hunting, fishing, camping, listening to or creating music, or spending time with his family.

Mary Akey
LMT
Mary was born and raised in Montana and has always had a deep appreciation for the
outdoors. When she isn’t exploring Big Sky Country by foot or by ski, you can find her enjoying
and creating music, road tripping around the northwest, or relaxing with her cat.
She has always felt a strong calling to help others and that combined with a love for anatomy
naturally translated into a passion for massage and bodywork. She graduated from the Massage
Training Institute Montana in 2022 and has since been evolving her relaxing Swedish, deep
tissue, therapeutic, and cupping techniques to deliver high quality relief with a calm, healing
touch.

Kristy Moodie
LMT
Kristy became a licensed massage therapist in 2019, although her passion for massage therapy began long before then. As an athlete growing up, she has an inherent desire to understand the functionings of the human body and mind. Kristy initially intended to become a PT, but continued to find herself working out muscle tightness and tension of family and friends via massage. Her passion for the workings of the human body and mind, as well as her intuitive desire to help alleviate stress and tension, eventually led her to pursing a career in bodywork therapy.
Kristy integrates deep tissue, myofascial and neuro muscular release techniques into a Swedish style of massage. Her work is effective yet deliciously languid and flowy and you will find yourself transported into a quiet, serene mental space within minutes.
When not in session, she enjoys spending quality time in the outdoors with her two dogs, Coda and Cedar.
