The news comes as wellness businesses across Yuma report steady demand from both longtime regulars and a growing number of visitors drawn to the desert lifestyle.
"We've put a lot of work into getting this right, and people are already noticing the difference," said Jennifer Martin, licensed esthetician in Yuma.
Staff say appointment requests have climbed roughly 26 percent since word spread locally. The business currently employs 13 licensed practitioners and plans to add more positions if demand keeps pace.
"This is exactly the kind of progress our community deserves." — Jennifer Martin
