Jenelle Woodlief LMT has been one of the most important people in my healing journey. After two car accidents, multiple falls, an undiagnosed concussion in my 20s, and years of chronic pain, migraines, neck, back, and rib issues, I had almost accepted that this was simply how my body would always feel. Jenelle is so much more than a massage therapist—she is an extraordinary bodyworker. She combines years of training, experience, and remarkable intuition to understand exactly what each person's body needs. Her work is incredibly gentle yet profoundly effective. She has an uncanny ability to release muscles and fascia, restore movement, interrupt long-standing pain patterns, and help the body find its way back to balance. What makes Jenelle truly exceptional is the way she creates complete safety. She listens deeply—not only to what you say, but to what your body is communicating. She meets those places with skill, compassion, and even reassurance, allowing the nervous system to relax and trust the healing process. She also holds space for the emotions that naturally arise as the body heals, making each session feel deeply restorative on every level. I have never felt so supported, comforted, or understood during bodywork. Jenelle's wisdom, presence, and extraordinary ability to know how to respond to the body's needs are nothing short of remarkable. I am profoundly grateful for her and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking lasting healing, especially those living with chronic pain or recovering from trauma.

I've had the opportunity to experience several of Jenelle Woodlief's offerings recently, including modeling for a Thai massage session, and I can honestly say it was unlike anything I've experienced before. What stood out most to me was the abdominal work. Following cancer treatment, I've spent a lot of time rebuilding trust in my body through breathwork, yoga, strength training, and intentional nervous system regulation. Jenelle's approach helped me connect with my body in a way that felt both grounding and deeply supportive. It wasn't just physical work—it created a greater awareness of the relationship between my mind and body. The sound bowl experience was equally impactful. It allowed me to settle into my body and find a sense of calm that can sometimes feel difficult to access. As someone who continues to navigate healing and recovery, it felt like another valuable tool to support that journey. I'm looking forward to returning in two weeks, this time as a client rather than a model, and continuing to explore this work. If you're looking for an experience that goes beyond traditional massage and supports both physical and nervous system well-being, I highly recommend connecting with Jenelle.

Jenelle has incredible intuition when it comes to the body and where tension is held, her touch feels like magic. She creates a safe and welcoming space where all parts of me feel held. I love that she offers both table and floor mat massages; the Thai floor mat was a first for me and truly restorative. I highly recommend Jenelle if you're looking for bodywork that supports your whole system and soothes your nervous system.

Jenelle’s massage and bodywork are nothing short of extraordinary. Her touch is intuitive and refined, blending technical expertise with a deeply nurturing presence. She works with an effortless awareness of the body, identifying areas of restriction and releasing them with remarkable precision and grace. Her sessions go beyond physical relief — they are restorative experiences that calm the nervous system and renew the spirit. Jenelle’s authenticity and open-hearted nature are the foundation of her practice, creating an environment that feels both safe and profoundly healing. She is a true professional and a gifted healer. If you are seeking bodywork that is both therapeutic and transformative, Jenelle is unparalleled.

Janelle is amazing! She has a different approach to massage than I’m used to. She addresses massage, somatic movement, and helping to unblock the nervous system. She is kind and very compassionate. She listened to my stressors, affirmed that they were a lot, and then asked how she could help me today. It was like two friends sitting down for a deep conversation or connection. When I have someone doing bodywork on me, I want that type of connection. The office is very earthy and has a healing vibe going on. Her massage space is very relaxing as well! You should see Janelle — you won’t be disappointed! ~ Amy

I have been seeing Jenelle for over a month following a car accident and I am very pleased with her work. Not only has the process with my car insurance been super easy, her bodywork has been truly transformative! Jenelle thoroughly discusses with me how I am feeling before and after each session. She lets my body guide her during the sessions and she is incredibly intuitive. I have gotten so much relief from my symptoms.

Jenelle’s work is truly powerful. I recently had a somatic bodywork session with her, and I was absolutely blown away. As a bodyworker myself, I know how rare it is to find care that feels both superior and deeply authentic—and Jenelle embodies both. Her sound healing and guided meditation were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. She works with a presence that is strong, grounded, and profoundly centered. From the moment I arrived, she created a space that felt safe enough for my body to completely let go. Her guided meditation was incredibly vivid and descriptive, helping me to drop deeper into my process with ease. I left feeling realigned, renewed, and inspired. Jenelle is hands down one of the most gifted practitioners I’ve ever worked with. I also find it interesting that after receiving care from her, I went to work and clients reported having some of the best massages they've ever had with me. I also felt more present in my work. Very VERY cool. My energetic and physical body are very grateful.

I went in for a massage from Jenelle today after a minor injury. She immediately found my rib that was out of place, even though I forgot to mention it. To say that she is extremely skilled at finding and fixing imbalances in the skeletal structure and releasing fascia is an understatement. My back felt straighter and more aligned after our session. I also experienced significant pain reduction after our session. I got a special treat of a singing bowl on my belly today. Her office has tea and water to help you stay hydrated and is a relaxing lovely environment. Go to Jenelle if you like deep & restorative bodywork. It’s like dessert for your body. 💜

I’ve seen Jenelle twice since my recent car accident that left me with a concussion and whiplash. Her attentiveness, presence, and skill made for incredible sessions. Jenelle moved with my body’s rhythms and attuned to when I was ready to open. Every step of the way felt gentle, soothing, and deeply supportive. After both sessions, my body felt soft and my brain felt spacious and open. Jenelle is truly gifted in the art of bodywork and I would recommend her to anyone.
