James Beaudry, LMT

I chose to pursue massage therapy after experiencing the benefits first-hand. I had sustained injuries from working manual labor and powerlifting in my early and mid-20’s. After receiving effective massage treatment sessions, I was soon on my way to full range of movement and being pain-free. Having experienced these changes I began my journey into massage therapy. I wanted to build a career helping people whose lives and mobility were impacted and hindered by pain.

 

Taking a scientific and evidence-based approach, I have been able to help my clients reduce their pain and help prevent further injury. I have worked alongside several Physical Therapists and Chiropractors for 6 years. I have been fortunate to have had their mentorship along the way. I utilize Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, MFR (also known as Myofascial Release), Neuromuscular Therapy, Cupping, Kinesio Taping, Graston and MET (Muscle Energy Technique).

Dr. Michelle Snider, DC

Originally from Keystone, Colorado, Dr. Michelle grew up ski racing, where frequent injuries sparked her journey in becoming a Chiropractor. She earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the University of Western States. After a decade of moving around the country with her Navy husband, she’s excited to call Montana home and join the Windy Ridge Chiropractic team.

Dr. Michelle provides compassionate, family-focused care for patients of all ages — from newborns and expectant mothers to athletes and active families. She personally tailors each visit to her patient’s needs using soft tissue techniques, cranial work, and a wide range of adjusting styles, including low-force methods. She is also specially trained in the Webster Technique to support women during pregnancy.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Michelle loves skiing, rock climbing, and backpacking with her husband and kids.

Dr. Claire Schauf, DC

Dr. Claire’s love for chiropractic began after her undergraduate studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, where working in a chiropractic office sparked her passion for supporting healthy beginnings from day one. Inspired by the body’s natural ability to heal, she went on to earn her degree from Northwestern Health Sciences University and later moved to Bozeman, Montana, to complete her training and begin her career.

She now specializes in pregnancy, postpartum, and pediatric care, using a variety of techniques to help each patient feel supported and cared for while focusing on their whole health and the meaningful changes chiropractic care can create.
