Bear Essentials Massage & Wellness is a results-focused massage, recovery, and movement practice in Seminole, Florida, helping clients move better, recover better, and live with less pain.

Our approach goes beyond traditional massage. We combine hands-on bodywork with stretching, mobility, corrective exercise, recovery modalities, and client education to address the areas contributing to pain, tightness, limited movement, and muscular imbalance.

Our services include Orthopedic and Sports Massage, Therapeutic and Deep Tissue Massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Pregnancy Massage, Assisted Stretching, Mobility and Corrective Exercise, Trigger Point Therapy, Cupping and Fascia Work, Scar Therapy, and recovery-focused bodywork. Depending on the client’s needs, sessions may also incorporate modalities such as red light therapy, compression therapy, heat/cold therapy, and electrical muscle stimulation.

With a background in both massage therapy and personal training, owner Jennifer brings a strong focus on posture, movement, strength, mobility, and helping clients understand what may be contributing to recurring discomfort. Treatment may also include therapeutic exercise and home-care recommendations to help clients continue making progress between visits.

Bear Essentials has also grown into a team practice. Tracy Howell, LMT, brings additional experience in therapeutic massage, mobility and stretching, fascia work, scar therapy, and Dolphin MPS techniques. Together, our goal is to provide individualized care rather than a one-size-fits-all massage.

We work with a wide range of clients, including veterans, athletes, active adults, people dealing with chronic tension or mobility restrictions, clients recovering from surgery or injury, pregnant clients, and anyone who wants to improve how their body feels and moves.

Bear Essentials Massage & Wellness is also a VA Community Care provider, allowing eligible veterans to receive authorized therapeutic care through the VA.

We believe effective bodywork should do more than help you relax for an hour. Our goal is to help identify contributing patterns, improve movement, restore function, and give you tools to take an active role in your own recovery.

Move better. Feel better. Live better.
