Very Long Baseline Interferometry studies of different maser species observed at multiple epochs allow complementary measurements of the 3-dimensional velocity field of gas close (≲ 103 AU) to massive young stellar objects. Here, we review our recent results toward the high-mass star-forming region G23.01–0.41, where all the strongest molecular maser transitions known to date cluster within 2000 AU from the center of an hot molecular core and are associated with a so called extended green object. The overall maser kinematics reveals a common outflowing motion from a central object; the details of the spatial distribution and velocity field of each maser species hint at the presence of different dynamical structures: a collimated jet, a wide-angle wind, and a flattened rotating core. We further compare the simultaneous presence of maser emission from different molecular species with a recent evolutionary sequence for masers associated with massive young stellar objects.
