Bethany Simons is a massage therapist, small business owner, and co-founder of Fill Your Own Bucket. Since 2012, she has built and led her own private bodywork practice, creating spaces where clients can slow down, soften, and reconnect with themselves.

After beginning her career working with children in school settings, Bethany felt drawn toward a more embodied form of healing. She trained as a massage therapist while working full time and discovered a vocation that allowed her to combine physical care with deep emotional attunement. Over more than a decade in practice, she has developed a reputation for excellence, intuition, and the ability to hold space without judgment.

Her work sits at the intersection of body and heart. Bethany understands how stress, grief, responsibility, and resilience are carried physically. She has supported clients through transitions, burnout, and quiet overwhelm, helping them release tension and listen more closely to their own internal signals.

Her personal life has required resilience and rebuilding. Navigating divorce while raising three children and later caring for her father through significant transitions deepened her understanding of responsibility, boundaries, and the limits of doing everything alone. These experiences do not define her, but they sharpened her clarity about what sustainable care truly requires.

Bethany is the mother of three — Mylah, Abby, and Ethan — and brings the same warmth and emotional fluency to her family life that she brings to her professional work. At Fill Your Own Bucket, she contributes grounded presence, compassion, and emotional intelligence.

She believes the body tells the truth, that feelings are information rather than problems to solve, and that even the strongest caregivers deserve care.
