Steve Bumbry is the co-founder of Bee Well Living, a

wellness brand that aims to guide consumers toward

optimal health through customized solutions. After

suffering from numerous injuries in his pursuit of a

professional baseball career, Bumbry created Bee Well

Living to provide optimal health resources for people to

overcome pain, stress, anxiety, depression and disease.

Son of Baltimore Orioles Hall of Famer Al Bumbry, Steve

spent 25 years dedicated to chasing his childhood dream –

to become a Major League Baseball player just like his

father. He was well on his way to attaining that dream when

he followed in his father’s footsteps to sign a contract with the Baltimore Orioles organization.

Unfortunately, Bumbry’s baseball career came to an unexpected end in 2014 after suffering

from several severe injuries leading up to his fourth sports-related concussion which forced him

to manage post-concussion symptoms for more than two years.

Bumbry spent 24 months post-baseball career exploring dozens of healing therapies, both

traditional and alternative. In 2016, Bumbry took his first yoga teacher training and massage

training after noticing a dramatic improvement in his physical and mental health while using

these therapies to recover from his baseball injuries. During his healing journey, Bumbry added

CBD to his wellness routine which dramatically improved his constant headaches as well as

improving his low self-confidence and his lack of motivation.

Bumbry strongly advocates a complete mind, body, and spirit approach to wellness and teaches

simple lifestyle practices that serve as a reminder to live balanced lives. A certified yoga teacher

and licensed massage therapist, Bumbry offers private and corporate yoga, massage therapy

and mindset techniques which guide clients toward living healthy lives.

A Maryland-native, Bumbry graduated from Dulaney High School in Timonium, before taking his

baseball talents to Virginia Tech where he studied Business Management and Entrepreneurship.

In 2012, Bumbry was drafted in the 12th round by the Baltimore Orioles. He recently married his

wife Janice, a yoga professional who leads Bee Well Living’s sister company, Bee Balanced

Therapies.
