Intuitive Massage & Structural Bodywork in Sarasota
Personalized Bodywork for Pain Relief, Alignment, and Deep Relaxation
Your body carries everything you’ve been through — stress, injuries, posture patterns, and life experiences all leave their mark on the tissues. Whether you’re here to relax, work through chronic tension, or address structural imbalances, I offer highly personalized, intuitive bodywork that listens to your body and responds to what it actually needs.
Feel Better in Your Body — Not Just for a Day
Many people get temporary relief from massage, only to have the same issues return. That’s because the body doesn’t just hold tension in muscles — it holds patterns. Patterns formed from stress, injuries, repetitive movement, emotional strain, and how we’ve adapted to life over time.When we work with those patterns — not just the surface symptoms — the body can finally begin to change.
Your Body Is Always Communicating
My job is to listen.
Sarasota’s Hidden Gem Massage Therapist, Jessie Reese
I’m Jessie Reese, and I’ve had a natural ability to sense and understand the body since I was very young.
Over the years, I’ve combined that intuitive sensitivity with extensive training in:
• Therapeutic massage
• Structural bodywork
• Myofascial release
• Neuromuscular therapy
When I work, I’m not following a script or routine. I’m paying close attention to what your body is showing me — areas of restriction, compensation, guarding, or holding — and responding in real time.
This allows sessions to be:
• Deeply relaxing
• Highly effective
• And often surprisingly transformative
I work with:
• People who want stress relief and relaxation
• Clients with chronic pain or tension
• Postural and alignment issues
• Athletes and physically active bodies
• And people who want ongoing, intelligent body care
No Two Bodies — Or Sessions — Are Ever the Same
Reviews
Ginny White
“I have been thoroughly enjoying all the benefits of Jesse’s talents, gifts and blessings as a massage therapist for over seven years now. Jesse’s intuitive and skilled talents contribute to my well being and overall health on a monthly basis. And for those times I am going through challenges, I gift myself to her care more often. A year ago I was recuperating a shoulder injury and I believe Jesse’s touch has helped greatly in my now mostly pain free experience. Jesse is truly a talented massage therapist and I highly recommend her.”

“I have been fortunate to see Jesi as a massage therapist regularly for more than four years. I can attest to her amazing abilities to intuitively know and effectively address any issues going on in the body, whether they be related to exercise, injury, stress or any other type of dis-ease. Jesi possesses a wide array of healing tools, knowledge and modalities that she applies with great care and respect and for optimal results. Above all else, Jesi brings her unique kind, generous, healing energy to every interaction. For all these reasons, I keep coming back to Jesi and highly recommend her to others.”

“I first met Jessie twelve years ago. During that time I have had many sports related injuries that Jesse was an integral part of my rapid recuperation. In the years of consistent bodywork I have become physically more flexible and pain free. But more importantly she has introduced me to new approaches to physical and mental well-being. Jesse’s great approach to life has made her my dear friend.”

“I have been receiving regular bodywork from different types of massage therapists around the country for over 25 years. I was referred to Jessie through her instructor at the massage school where she trained many years ago.I am so grateful to have found her. She is a talented and gifted therapist. Jessie shows up with presence, gentle kindness and an open, caring heart. Her touch is intuitive, and depending upon what is required by the body in the moment, can be deep and strong, or gentle and flowing. Her ability to run energetic healing while massaging creates a deeper level of relaxation and a delicious expansiveness to her sessions. I love the way I feel after a massage from Jessie; relaxed, released, peaceful and open. She is truly one of the great gems of Sarasota”
A More Intelligent Approach to Bodywork
What to Expect
1. We Start With a Conversation
Your history, goals, and what’s going on in your body
2. I Listen to Your Body
Using both trained hands and intuitive awareness
3. We Work With What’s Ready
Supporting real, lasting change instead of forcing results
This Is Not Typical Massage
While your session may feel relaxing, this work goes beyond a standard massage.
I blend:
• Relaxation techniques
• Structural and postural work
• Myofascial and neuromuscular therapy
Into one cohesive, personalized session.
I am one of the few practitioners in Sarasota offering this level of integrated, intuitive, and structurally informed bodywork.
Why This Matters
If the body’s deeper patterns are never addressed:
• Pain keeps coming back
• Tension keeps moving around
• The body keeps compensating
When those patterns start to change:
• Movement improves
• Pain decreases
• The body feels lighter, freer, and more at ease
The Body Learns Through Safety and Awareness:
• Real change happens when the body feels safe to let go.
• Each session supports deep relaxation and nervous system balance.
Your Body Already Knows How to Heal
Sometimes it just needs the right kind of attention.
