Meet our Massage Therapists
Each of our therapist has met the required hours for education and is a Licensed Massage Therapist with the Arizona State Board of Massage Therapy. Additionally each one has undergone extensive extra training with Owner, Kristina Wulbern as well as continuing education. All of our therapists also maintain membership with Associated Massage and Bodywork Associates, the premier Professional organization for Massage Therapists. Of course each of our therapists has a unique approach but we strive to provide a similar experience no matter which therapist you choose.
KRISTINA WULBERN, OWNER, LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST,
REGISTERED YOGA INSTRUCTOR
It has been my absolute pleasure to provide the community of Flagstaff with massage therapy for the last 21 years. In 1992, I completed my training at the University of California, Santa Cruz, possibly the only public university in the country at the time with a Massage Therapy training program.
My studies included: Swedish Massage, Acupressure, Herbalism, and intensive Anatomy and Physiology. I continued my training after completing my certification with Deep Tissue, Prenatal, La Stone, Cranial Sacral, the Arvigo Techniques of Mayan Abdominal Massage, Myofascial Release, and Thai massage. And somewhere in there I also managed to squeeze in Yoga Instructor Training.
In my 30 years in this profession, I have had the good fortune of practicing massage in many settings and each has provided ample learning opportunities. I have also been a massage instructor and taught my techniques to hundreds of students. 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. I am now moving toward retiring from massage to focus on running the business. Therefore I am not seeing new clients. I encourage you to try a session with one of our other amazing therapists.
"I have been going to Kristina for massage for around 15 years. She is amazing! I have some special health needs that she has always been super helpful with and respectful of. Any day I get to see her is a great day. " - Carli M.

EMILY JOHNSON, LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST
Born and raised in Montana, I feel very connected to nature. I grew up as an athlete and outdoor enthusiast and continue to live an active lifestyle. I am passionate about helping others and feel very aligned with my chosen career as a massage therapist.
It is my belief that a healthy mind and spirit are dependent on a healthy body. Each of us has a unique body with its own story. 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 help to create a sense of body awareness. It is my goal to help others achieve their optimum potential.
I graduated from Arizona School of Integrative Studies where I was introduced to many modalities. Of particular interest are deep tissue, Connective tissue, Thai massage and craniosacral work and I intend to further my education in these areas. I continuously strive to expand my knowledge and skills. I am thrilled to be a part of the team at NAZMT and excited to be living my dream as a massage therapist.
"Best truly deep tissue massage I've had in years. Emily is an extremely skilled massage therapist and I will definitely be coming back. Thank you!" -Meredith B.

CLAIRE CODER, LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST
I was born here in Flagstaff AZ, where I was raised roaming the woods, dancing around barefoot , and looking up at our star filled sky. And at the age of 9, I was fortunate enough to start receiving massage therapy. Becoming a massage therapist seemed like a natural and beautiful continuation of my journey and I am excited to be able to provide you with all the healing benefits that massage has to offer.
Every-body is different; if this journey has shown me anything so far, it’s that everyone has their own story, their own reason for needing a massage. I’m ready to help each of you progress in your story as much as I can with the skills I have learned and will continue to learn!
I developed my skills and learned a lot of modalities at the Arizona School of Integrated Studies (ASIS). What I offer is Swedish, deep tissue, and cranial sacral with shiatsu and Thai influences. 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’m excited to share this experience and facilitate the continuation of your story!
"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." -Kathy H.
