It has been my absolute pleasure to provide the community of Flagstaff with massage therapy for the last 32 years. ​I have learned through out my years of practice that each person on my table is unique with unique needs and I strive to meet those to the best of my ability and to help each person achieve a greater sense of themselves as whole, healthy human beings.

And now I am so pleased to be able to provide expanded services and offerings with a team of talented therapists in our new Wellness Clinic. A Wellness Clinic such as this has been my dream for years and it is such a joy to see it become a reality. I am passionate about offering many options for our community to achieve optimal health and well being and the new services we offer I feel align with that passion completely.
 
I have retired from massage to focus on running the business.  I encourage you to try a session with one of our other amazing therapists. Read on below to learn about all of them.

​Claire is absolutely amazing! I’ve been getting massages for years, including in Vegas at some amazing spas. This lady is just wonderful, she’s very intuitive and has a great calming energy. I finally found my massage therapist and I couldn’t be happier! I highly recommend Claire at Northern AZ Massage! - Mary Elisabeth B.

Claire Coder
Licensed Massage Therapist
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Specialist



I was born and raised right here in Flagstaff and, since the age of 9, have received bodywork on a semi regular basis.  Since massage therapy was part of my upbringing, the experience of being on the table for so many years has given me a deep insight into the experience itself.

​I have found for myself and my clients that regular massage is a key on the path to wellness.  Your personal health journey is important to me, and I want to help you as best I can. Whether we have one session or multiple, I will make sure to care for you during your time with me. I  focus on the individual human in the room at the time of session and tune into what their body needs. 

I truly believe that every-body is different and my job is to help guide each body towards healing. The modalities with which I achieve this are deep tissue, Swedish massage, prenatal massage, cupping and hot stone, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage, in which I am nationally certified. I look forward to working with each of you who comes to our business!

It was like magic; my pain simply disappeared." - 乖仔

"I can’t say enough amazing things about Northern Arizona Massage and Wellness. All the staff is incredibly friendly, and knowledgeable.​Yessi has been my massage therapist for a few months now and has changed my life. I’ve lived with severe back pain for a long time and once I started seeing Yessi regularly I’m able to get back to my active lifestyle without pain! Thank you!​ " - Ben R.

Yessica (Yessi) Hurtado
licensed Massage Therapist


I was born in Maricopa County and was partly raised in Mexico, where my parents were born. I moved to Flagstaff for schooling in 2011 and have since decided to make it my forever home. I graduated from the Arizona School of Integrative Study in early 2022, where I fully dedicated myself to the incredible art of Massage Therapy and discovered its amazing benefits to the mind, body, and spirit. 

My passion for taking care of the aches and pains of the people around me - the ones inside and out - has been with me since I was young. I loved giving my family members massage but didn't realize it could be a serious career path until I was already committed to another career. But it kept calling and with COVID I decided to make the leap of faith and haven't looked back. 
​
I like to help my clients strengthen the link between mind and body by encouraging them to listen to and “communicate” with their body using breath-work, stretching, body awareness, with a touch of warmth and love.

Jessi Wiley
​Licensed Massage Therapist


I’ve been a massage therapist for six years, and my passion for the field stems from my desire to help others. Massage therapy offers me a unique way to support people in overcoming pain and improving their well-being. I’m particularly focused on relieving chronic pain, such as frozen shoulders, sciatica, and other common issues. What I love most about massage is its holistic approach to healing, offering both physical and mental benefits to clients.

I approach massage with a medical mindset, grounded in my nursing studies, blended with holistic techniques. In a session with me, you can expect a deep tissue massage tailored to your needs, with elements of sports massage, trigger point therapy, joint mobility, and myofascial release. I use a slow, deliberate approach to allow your muscles to relax deeply and effectively.

​When I'm not massaging, you can find me practicing hot yoga, Pilates, or hiking, and of course, focusing on my nursing studies. I enjoy continuing to learn and grow, both in my career and in life.

My massage therapist, Jessi came from another location and very glad she is now at NAMW. She is professional and very experienced in massage. I always leave relaxed and with less aches when I leave. I highly recommend both NAMW and Jessi!" - Troy L.

Angelica (angel) Beasley
Licensed Massage Therapist


Massage therapy is a way for me to offer clients a moment of peace in a world that can feel overwhelming. I believe that everyone deserves to feel cared for, and massage can provide that care in the form of relief, relaxation, and reset for the body and mind. 

Every session with me is tailored to the client’s needs, whether they’re looking for gentle relaxation, targeted pain relief, or something in between. My goal is for every client to leave feeling lighter, looser, and more at ease—both physically and mentally. You can also expect a bubbly personality and a big smile!

When I’m not at Northern Arizona massage and wellness, I’m usually doing something arts and craftsy or outside enjoying nature! I love reading, spicy food and rewatching Lord of the rings. I'm always interested in hearing book or movie recommendations!

Maya Uribe
Licensed massage therapist


I am a huge advocate for pursuing the highest quality of life you can achieve. As a personal trainer, I noticed I was missing an important part of wellness, ... recovery. I believe that self-care and recovery are just as important as staying active and strong. I decided to pursue massage therapy to help clients achieve their peak physical wellness.

I am very present with my clients and provide a space where you can express your needs for the session. I approach massage therapy with a deep knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology and incorporate elements of deep tissue, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release into my sessions.

I am a first-generation Mexican-American and was raised in Gilbert, Arizona. I moved to Flagstaff because of my love for the mountains and outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and rock climbing. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen or getting hooked on a good book.

Matt BOyD
licensed Massage therapist


I was attracted to massage because of how transformative it is. It allows a person to not only let their physical body "go" but also for their mind and spirit to find relief. The change is visible and allows inner beauty to shine through. It is my sincere joy to help facilitate this healing process.

When you receive a massage from me,  you will feel my kind spirit and my desire to provide a peaceful, soul-replenishing experience. My warm approach will put you at ease so you can fully relax. The soothing pressure along with healing intentions are felt throughout the service. You will be listened to and will be able to have open communication about any areas of concern. After each massage, you will feel more centered and balanced.

I am a self-proclaimed dork. I love art, music, film, video games, and traveling. My pets are my children, and I cherish them immensely. Spirituality and philosophy fascinate me. Ask me about the position of the moon today; I'll have all sorts of things to say!

ALyssa Brown
Licensed Massage Therapist


I am passionate about enhancing people's quality of life through massage therapy. I love that I can help people reduce their pain, whether it's from an athletic injury, or any other physical condition. I especially enjoy working with athletes, using techniques such as cupping and lymphatic drainage to reduce muscle tension and swelling, assisting in their recovery and performance.

Clients can expect a dedicated professional who approaches every session with an open mind and strong work ethic. I focus on addressing troubled areas with care and precision, always focusing my approach to each client's individual needs. I make sure my clients are comfortable. 

I was born and raised here in Flagstaff. In my free time I like hiking, camping, and exploring. I enjoy listening to my brother's band perform in Flagstaff. I love spending time with my family.

JENNIFEr REinhardt
Licensed Massage Therapist


In 2014, I received my license in massage therapy from Palm Beach State College in Palm Beach, Florida. Massage school opened my eyes to the world of alternative medicine and the healing arts.  I became passionate about learning different massage modalities as well as eastern sciences, particularly Ayurveda, which I studied during a 2 year intensive program at the Ayurvedic Institute under Dr. Vasant Lad in Albuquerque.  I went on to receive my bachelor's degree in Nutrition and Food Science from NAU.

​I view each person as dynamic and unique, and take an individualized and holistic approach to health and well-being.  I believe that the mind and body are not separate, but instead interconnected.  When we work through pain and tension on a physical level via practices like massage, we simultaneously ease the disturbances of the mind, like anxiety, stress, or fear. 

 It is my hope that during our sessions together, you are able to drop into your body and experience deep peace and relaxation.  My intention is that you leave our time together not only physically better, but with an improved sense of well-being.

"Quaint place, helpful staff, personable and professional. Jennifer, my masseuse, is amazing. Her hands are angels. Best massage I've ever experienced. I rarely, if ever, write reviews, but I cannot stay quiet. When I arrived for my appointment, the clients leaving were going on and on about how good their massages were. I agree completely. Thank you!!!" - Mike L.

Hypnotherapist


Picture
"Craig is a skilled and passionate hypnotherapist - thoroughly knowledgeable, not just about hypnotherapy, but many other methods and techniques he's happy to share to give the best outcome possible. The recordings and information he sent in addition to our scheduled appointments were also very helpful. The results continue over time and are wide ranging. For example, though I didn't seek hypnotherapy for phobias (I HAD a proper phobia of dentists - so bad that I had to resort to medication to even walk into a dentist's office), that phobia is now gone. I would strongly recommend hypnotherapy in general, and Craig in particular. It's worth every penny."    
- Dylan C.

Brooke Leroy
​Reception


I'm a sophomore from NAU studying finance and financial planning. I'm originally from Tucson, but have fallen in love with Flagstaff's beautiful mountain community and the kindness of everyone I've met here. I love doing administrative work, but my favorite part of this job is seeing the pure joy and relaxation that shines from clients when they come to check out after their service. Outside of work and school, you can find me dancing, playing board games, and cooking delicious food to enjoy with friends.

We Would Love to See You Soon!
