I am an athlete, outdoor enthusiast, and live an active lifestyle. In my free time, I enjoy biking, weightlifting, and practicing yoga. I have a history of working in the fitness industry and am passionate about the importance of functional movement with proper body mechanics. Massage helps alleviate restrictions that can lead to poor body mechanics and injury. It is my belief that the mind and body are one. Each of us has a unique body with its own story. From my own personal work, it is clear to me that emotions are stored in the tissues of the body, which causes pain.
I intend to provide attention and presence in each session, addressing the specific needs of each client. I consider it my job to guide each client on the path to their own healing and to body/mind awareness. It is my goal to help others achieve their optimum potential. As a graduate of the Arizona School of Integrative Studies, I have been introduced to many modalities. My skill set includes deep tissue, Swedish, connective tissue, stretch therapy and sports massage and rehab and I intend to further my education in these areas. I am also certified in cupping. During a weeklong Fascial Dissection Lab, I studied the muscular and fascial system of the human body, gaining further expertise in the field of anatomy. I continuously strive to expand my knowledge and skills. I am thrilled to be a part of an amazing team of therapists at NAZMT. |

"I had terrible back pain and Claire was willing to stay late for me. She massaged my back for an hour and removed every knot. When she completed the massage, I could move freely without pain. What a relief! I highly recommend her work."

"Absolutely incredible massage by Katie! I didn't think my muscles could relax the way they did, especially with the cupping. Thank you so much!"

licensed massage therapist
I graduated from Arizona School of Integrated Studies in Tucson, AZ where I was born and raised. I was a ballet dancer for 17 years and musical theatre performer for 11 years. When I was 19, my mother died suddenly and I had two friends going to massage school. I received massage therapy to treat a number of physical symptoms from performing and I noticed it greatly helped me with the grieving process.
I believe that the source of a person’s healing can be found within themselves. I strive to collaborate with each client to find their ultimate sense of peace within their bodies. I decided to pursue massage as a career when I grew tired of waiting tables and acting. I immediately noticed how it helped with my own personal journey with mental illness, trauma , and injury rehabilitation. I enjoy studying how physiology and mental health correlate and am passionate about being of service in this field to help make the world a lighter place to live. I am a student of Kung Fu, yoga, and mediation and enjoy bringing these art forms to the table with my approach to massage therapy. Today, my time is spent more behind the scenes directing children’s plays and singing in my church band. |
"Rachel, ummm ya... Rachel. Did I mention Rachel? Amazing, best massage I've had in a long time. I live on airplanes, so I have seen some great therapists on the road. No one, has ever. Not one, really really gotten my spots and made them melt. She finds something, and takes care of it right then and there. She's new at this place! Give her some love and book immediately! Calculated strong hands. Love ya Rachel! Thanks again and see you again Friday!"

Karol Gobster
Licensed Massage Therapist
I’m excited to join the wonderful massage staff at NAZ Massage. I have been a massage therapist for over 4 years. I enjoy problem solving to resolve specific issues clients are dealing with but also providing relaxation and healing.
I love helping people and that is what drew me to massage therapy. I am an athlete and many of my athletic friends experienced debilitating muscle and fascial issues. Massage addresses these issues so effectively and I was happy to be able to help my community in this way. I enjoy this work and making a connection with my clients to better serve them. As a musician, I am interested in live music of all sorts. I am a triathlete and have completed the Ironman distance in Tempe and enjoy all sorts of sports. I love the vibe, the people and the beauty of Flagstaff. I am in the place that I am meant to be. I hope to meet you in a session soon. |
