Oliver (ollie) anderson
licensed Massage Therapist

I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2019 I moved to Flagstaff and quickly fell in love with our outdoorsy community. Durning the pandemic, I got into meditation and wanted to find a career that would incorporate the peace that brought me as well as  providing  others with the space to relax and reset. Massage has been a good fit and I am motivated by helping others relax. 

While I can provide deep and therapeutic bodywork, I believe what people really need in this day and age is relaxation and I make sure clients are soothed as well has having their challenging areas addressed. One of my long-term goals is to become a birthing/pregnancy doula so I love working with pregnant women.  I am also passionate about providing comfort and care to the LGBTQ+ community especially in these challenging times.  Everyone deserves dedicated focused care and I work hard to make sure ALL of my clients, regardless of race, gender or sexuality are taken well care of.
​
Outside of work my hobbies include watching movies, playing board games, roller skating and spending time outdoors with my cat.

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.

​"NA Massage and Wellness is fantastic. The space is warm and welcoming, a selection of products to buy, and the variety of services is nothing less than amazing. 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.
"Absolutely amazing service! I haven't had a massage in years and I've carried a lot of stress and tension in my back and shoulders. I booked an hour massage with the cupping therapy. I have never felt so relaxed and healed, years of stress have been taken off. The whole environment was welcoming and staff is extremely professional and accommodating for any needs. I loved that even before the session started, I had a conversation with my massage therapist (Angel) about any problem areas or needs. I highly recommend to anyone that needs or wants any massage services! Will definitely be booking again!"

Angelica (angel) Beasley
Licensed Massage Therapist
Massage Department Manager

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.

​"I saw Maya, and she was amazing — so calming, professional, and intuitive. The whole experience felt relaxing and restorative from beginning to end." 
- Monica A.

"My massage with Matt was amazing. I requested a 90-minute couple massage; however, my back was out of sorts, and he spent most of his time getting me back on track. He worked on that area for a good chunk of the time, which was perfect. He really listened to what I needed. I have had many massages, and without a doubt, this was one of the best." - Kat M. 

Matt BOyD
licensed Massage therapist

I was drawn to massage because of how truly transformative it can be. Not only does it allow the physical body to let go of tension, but also allows the mind to relax and the spirit to find peace. The visible shift seen when that inner calm starts to shine through is truly inspiring to me. It’s my sincere joy to help facilitate that process of restoration and balance.

When you receive a massage from me,  you will feel my kind spirit and my genuine intention to create a peaceful, soul-replenishing experience. I work slow with deep pressure and mindful technique, always listening and adjusting to your needs so you leave feeling renewed, centered, and balanced. My meticulous nature means every movement is intentional and filled with care. Many clients say I have a unique approach; I love incorporating lots of different techniques to create an experience that feels deeply therapeutic and energetically grounding.  In every session the environment - music, lighting, temperature and aroma - are thoughtfully considered to provide optimal support for peace and wellbeing. 

I am a self-proclaimed dork who loves art, music, film, video games, and travel and my pets are my world. Spirituality and philosophy fascinate me. Ask me about the position of the moon today; I'll have all sorts of things to share!

"My massage with Alyssa was wonderful. She explained the steps of how she performs the massage. She asked about my "problem" spots and that she would try to spend a little extra time on those areas. Which was great! I felt instant release in those tense areas. During the massage she asked if I wanted more or less pressure and delivered on my request. It was a wonderful experience and I can't wait for the next!" - Mallarey H.

"The most relaxing and beautiful place to get a massage! The environment was incredible and Brian gave the best massage I've ever had." - Ashley C.

Hypnotherapist

"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.

I am a graduate student at NAU for speech language pathology, and I enjoy working at the front desk of Northern Arizona Massage and Wellness. As someone with chronic pain, I love getting to work somewhere that helps so many people feel better. When I am not at work or school, I love watching movies, caring for houseplants, and painting.

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.

Ashley Rada

I’m originally from Los Angeles, California and I just recently moved to Flagstaff and am loving the mountains and the atmosphere here. I’m a recent college graduate with a degree in Broadcast Communication, so I love all things movies and TV! Working here, and seeing people’s happy post-massage face is the highlight of my day! When I’m not working or watching a movie, you can find me chatting about beauty, wellness and esthetics.
