Getting here
Getting to the studio in Athol
The studio is at 3125 E Briar Ct, Athol, ID 83801. Athol sits on US-95 between Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint, with Idaho Highway 54 running west to Spirit Lake and east to Bayview. If you have driven to Silverwood Theme Park, you already know the town.
Work Well is a private in-home studio, not a storefront, so map apps are the easiest way to find it. If you need directions or are running late, call or text (208) 410-4005 and Jessie will help.
Every table session happens here in the studio, which is what keeps the room quiet and the table set up the way Jessie likes it. There is no mobile or in-home massage; the only time Jessie travels is for office and event chair massage. The price is the same no matter which town you drive from; see prices for every massage style.
Why people drive in
The towns on this page have other places to get a massage. People make the trip to Athol because Jessie is the only therapist, so you never start over with a stranger. She has practiced since 2008 across eight styles, from Swedish massage to barefoot Ashiatsu, and the business is Christian-owned: honest pricing, respect and clear professional boundaries. One hour is $100, with hot stones and aromatherapy included.
Planning around the drive
Weekday appointments run from 9 am to 6 pm, and Saturdays are available by appointment. If you are coming from the far ends of the area, a 90-minute session often makes the most of the trip. New clients can read what to expect at your first massage before booking.
