blake and crystal hoppie | owners

Blake and Crystal Hoppie are the owners of Therapeutix Mind & Body, a locally owned wellness company serving Northern Utah through its Ogden and Clinton locations. Built on a foundation of faith, compassion, and a belief in the body's ability to heal, Therapeutix has become a trusted resource for individuals seeking therapeutic massage, esthetic services, body treatments, wellness therapies, and holistic care.
Crystal's passion for helping others began long before opening Therapeutix. While pursuing a degree in oncology, her family's life changed when her son was diagnosed with leukemia. She stepped away from school to care for him and quickly learned firsthand the complexity of the human body, the importance of comprehensive care, and the power of hope during difficult circumstances. After his remission, she returned to school, only to face another setback when he relapsed. Those experiences profoundly shaped her understanding of healing and ignited a lifelong passion for helping others navigate their own health journeys.
More than a decade later, that passion remains the driving force behind Therapeutix Mind & Body. What started as a dream has grown into an award-winning wellness company recognized for exceptional client care, community involvement, and a commitment to improving lives. Today, Therapeutix proudly serves thousands of clients, including veterans through the VA Community Care Network, individuals managing chronic pain, those recovering from injuries, and people simply seeking a healthier, more balanced life.
Blake and Crystal believe that true wellness involves caring for both the mind and body. Together with their dedicated team, they strive to create an environment where every client feels valued, supported, and empowered on their wellness journey.
Beyond their business, the Hoppies are passionate advocates for their community. Therapeutix actively supports local charities, schools, veterans' organizations, and nonprofit groups throughout Northern Utah. Crystal is also committed to mentoring and encouraging fellow entrepreneurs, sharing her experience and knowledge to help other small business owners pursue their dreams and build successful businesses.
Crystal attributes the success of Therapeutix to God's guidance, the unwavering support of her husband Blake, their family, their incredible team, and the loyal clients who have trusted them throughout the years. Their mission remains simple: to serve others with compassion, integrity, and excellence while helping people live healthier, happier lives.

lori Porter | Ogden & clinton

MASTER ESTHETICIAN, PERMANENT COSMETICS, LASH AND MAKEUP ARTIST
I’m a licensed Master Esthetician with over 25 years in the industry, and for the past 12 years I’ve proudly called Therapeutix Mind & Body my home away from home. It’s more than just where I work—it’s truly a second family.
I offer a wide range of services designed to enhance your skin, restore balance, and leave you feeling refreshed inside and out. I’m passionate about staying on the cutting edge of this ever-evolving industry, constantly learning new techniques and continuing my education so I can bring the best to my clients. Just as much as I love learning, I also love educating—helping others understand their skin and feel confident in it.
Outside of the treatment room, you’ll usually find me enjoying downtime and traveling with my husband, exploring new recipes or taking cooking classes, and spending time with my besties—whether that’s a full shopping day or just a little window shopping therapy.
I truly love what I do, and it shows in the care and connection I bring to every client experience.

melissa sams | Ogden & clinton - VA approved

LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST
Good Morning!! My name is Melissa Sams. I first learned about reflexology when I was 16. I fell
in love. I knew that I was supposed to learn bodywork and help people. It took me a lot of years
and a lot of trial and error but then I felt a strong pull to finally go back to school. I graduated from Serenity Tree School of Natural Healing in Jan of 2024.
I love helping people to heal through touch. Massage and Bodywork are NOT luxuries. It is a
necessity that has been practiced from ancient times in Egypt and China up to today. It should
be accessible to EVERYONE. The benefits of Massage and Bodywork are many and every
person should have the option to utilize this ancient practice. Not everyone wants to go right to a
doctor to get fed drugs or sent to a "Specialist". There are other options for some things. I
believe it's worth trying a massage for a sore muscle before going to a doc to get pain meds.
Everyone has some kind of Life Trauma. A Massage may assist you in your journey to health:
physical, emotional, and spiritual. Of course, many people like a massage to just relax. To have
a Self-care Day. Those are great!! I and many other Massage Therapists encourage those!!!
Outside of work I would rather be in the mountains camping and fishing. My Goal in life is to
own a ranch, bring Kids who don’t make it in the foster system to teach them life skills and help
get education and jobs, and work with animals like horses among others.
tiffani pulley | clinton - VA approved

LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST
Hello! My name is Tiffani. I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist for about 4 years! Massage is, hands down, one of my absolute favorite things in the world. I love the look of pure relaxation and relief after a good session! And I absolutely love helping people to achieve long lasting pain relief. I specialize in deep tissue, and therapeutic work tailored to each individual. I am also certified in Lymphatic Drainage massage! But no matter what we focus on, the goal is always to help you feel more at home in your own body.
Besides massage, my other loves of my life are my family. My husband, my two dogs (Apollo and Athena) and myself! I am an avid gamer, and I love solving puzzles! Listening to music and watching movies are some of my favorite hobbies!
Devan kunzler | Ogden & clinton

LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST
Hello! My name is Devan Kunzler. I grew up “a nomad” in a military family, having lived in 16 different cities by age 21. Even among all the places I have been, I have always loved the Rocky Mountain region and decided to settle down here in pristine Utah. I have always been fascinated with healing and what can be done to help the human body heal itself. My passion for massage comes from the potential in many cases for massage as an alternative (or concurrent) treatment to medications and/or surgery in
treating conditions including edema, chronic pain, nerve impingement, and chronic stress. I have worked hard to develop a refined touch and am happy to provide any desired pressure level from the lightest feathering to the firmest of deep tissue work.
Outside of work I love reading, games of any kind, anime, going on walks, and spending time with my niece and nephew.
sofia terrett | Ogden & clinton

LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST
Hi! My name is Sofia. I’ve been a licensed therapist for 2 years now working in Florida. I just recently moved and am looking forward to continuing my career in the beautiful state of Utah.
I specialize in deep tissue and sports massage, but more than anything I strive to cater each service to my client’s individual needs. I love to perform what I call a “fix it” massage so my clients leave with the relief and comfort they deserve. I believe massage and bodywork is the perfect mix between art and science that our bodies and energies crave for recovery, healing, and growth. I feel honored every day to be able to provide that to people in need.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend & family, hiking, painting, doing yoga, weight lifting, and traveling.
I adore what I do and create connections with like minded individuals. I look forward to meeting you!!

vanessa sanders | clinton - VA approved

LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST
Hello! My name is Vanessa. I graduated from Alexander’s School of Natural Therapeutics in March 2024, located in Tacoma, Washington. During my studies, I discovered a passion for trigger point therapy and myofascial release. In addition to trigger point work, I specialize in deep tissue massage and injury recovery.
My journey into massage therapy began after experiencing multiple injuries from falling off horses. Seeking relief, I turned to massage and was amazed by its benefits. This inspired me to help others find the same relief and healing that I experienced.
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors. During the summer, you’ll find me hiking, swimming, paddleboarding, or wakeboarding on the lake. In the winter, I love hitting the slopes for skiing or exploring nature on hikes. I also cherish playing in the snow with my two mini Australian Shepherds—they keep me on my toes and make every adventure more fun!
Tracy Meldrum | Ogden & clinton - VA approved

LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST
I graduated from the Utah College of Massage Therapy in 2011, after completing their Professional and Master Bodyworker program. I have a passion and natural talent for helping people achieve their health and wellness goals. I thoroughly enjoy massage but my favorite service to perform is Hot/Cold Stone Massage. Both hot and cold stones can be used for healing, circulation, detoxing, releasing muscles and so much more! When I'm not doing a hot stone session, I love to perform Deep Tissue because I enjoy working hard to relieve chronic pain and improving my client's health. I provide a comfortable and luxurious experience.
During my downtime, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have 2 amazing little kiddos and we love to be outside! We enjoy swimming, biking, hiking, basically anything that can be done outside. I also enjoy movies and TV and some of my favorites include Harry Potter, Marvel movies, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.
Andrea Jepson | Ogden & clinton - va approved

LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST
Hi, I'm Andrea! I've been with Therapeutix since March 2026. I've been a licensed massage therapist for 5 years after graduating from Bridgerland Technical College in 2021.
I grew up in a very musical household, where learning classical piano and singing was mandatory. While singing came more naturally, I could never play piano by ear (no matter how hard I tried!) I learned entire pieces by training the muscle memory into my fingers.
While my piano skills are rusty, my inherent sense of the power of touch has ended up serving me well. I bring knowledge from several modalities, my favorites (so far) including craniosacral therapy, deep tissue, neuromuscular techniques, & heated bamboo massage. Helping others find the kind of relief that masage has brought for me is the best part of any day.
Outside of work, I love being with my big & crazy family, reading, singing, and weightlifting.
