Jesse Mae Kohler

Release what's taken root!

From an early age, I knew I wanted a career centered around helping others. Over the years, my interests evolved from veterinary medicine to social work, before I ultimately discovered my true calling in massage therapy in my early twenties. Once I began my studies, it became clear that massage therapy was the right path for me. The combination of kinesiology, pathology, and hands-on therapeutic work deeply resonated with me and continues to inspire my practice today.

From an early age, I knew I wanted a career centered around helping others. Over the years, my interests evolved from veterinary medicine to social work, before I ultimately discovered my true calling in massage therapy in my early twenties. Once I began my studies, it became clear that massage therapy was the right path for me. The combination of kinesiology, pathology, and hands-on therapeutic work deeply resonated with me and continues to inspire my practice today.

I am a member of Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals and graduated with honors from the massage therapy program at Central Oregon Community College under the leadership of President Shirley Metcalf.

My approach to bodywork is best described as “East meets West,” blending therapeutic and restorative techniques to create individualized treatment sessions. I incorporate modalities such as cupping, gua sha, reflexology, and Thai table massage alongside deep tissue, Swedish relaxation, and sports massage therapies.

In 2025, I expanded my practice to include internal pelvic floor therapy after completing advanced training with Leslie Stager. I am also continuing my education in trauma-informed care, with a focus on supporting individuals living with PTSD, survivors of trauma, and those receiving end-of-life or hospice care. I believe compassionate, therapeutic touch can play an essential role in recovery, comfort, and overall well-being.

Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time riding motorcycles with my husband. Together, we often take extended road trips exploring scenic backroads and camping along the way. During the winter months, I enjoy creating art, spending time with my dog, and watching movies.

An incredible first massage experience. I can tell she is trained in trauma and consent medicine and is very professional despite knowing her before the massage. She is very skilled and checked in often. I will definitely be going back!

I’ve been seeing Jesse for a few years now, and her bodywork is truly incredible. Her massages are deeply intuitive and effective, and I really appreciate the space she creates where silence can be held without awkwardness. Every session feels intentional, grounding, and exactly what my body needs.

Jesse Mae knows just the right amount of pressure to use, the right amount of communication, and when to let you soak in the quiet comfort of her practice. She is always my #1 choice in Bend!

One of the best massages, ever! Jesse Mae has a very consistent pressure and stays focused on the areas of concern. The hot towel over my face and feet at the end really sent me home relaxed! I’ll be back again and again.

Went in with a sore shoulder and talked with Jesse about it. She spent the time on the areas we talked about .The next day I felt way better, her body work for sure moved pain out of my body. Thank full for skilled body workers and their ability to listen and help.

Possibly the best massage I've ever had and the space is beautiful, calming and cozy

I’d tell them that they would have the very best massage experience possible with the most caring and gentle soul who will make you feel special and you’ll leave like you are floating on a fluffy cloud.
