Meet the Therapist Behind Beneath the Pines 🌲
Sometimes the road to your calling takes a few unexpected turns.
Hi, I’m Jenny... but friends call me Jenny May. I am the owner and therapist behind Beneath the Pines Massage Therapy here in Angier, NC. I’m a mom of three and have called this area home for most of my life.
Long before I ever went to massage school, a teacher once told me I would make a great therapist one day. That small comment stuck with me, even as life took me in other directions first.
I spent nearly a decade working in veterinary medicine, raising my family, and navigating some personal health challenges that eventually pushed me to take my own wellness more seriously. Through that journey I lost over 120 pounds, rediscovered my strength, and finally returned to the path I had always felt called toward.
In 2023 I graduated with honors from Gwinnett College’s Massage Therapy program and had the honor of delivering my class’s commencement speech. By June of 2024, Beneath the Pines had grown through word of mouth from in-home sessions into its own physical location.
Today my work focuses on more than just muscles. I approach massage with a whole-body mindset paying attention to fascia, posture, and nervous system balance so the body can release tension and move more freely.
Health, healing, and continued learning are truly my passion ❤️
I’m grateful for every client who trusts me with their care. Many of my clients return regularly to maintain the progress we make together, which keeps my schedule active, but I always love welcoming new faces who are ready to start feeling better in their body.
