Journey Massage Studio

Introduction: Katrina Young is a graduate of Pinnacle Career Institute and have been a massage therapist since 2006. My desire is to help each and every client leave their session feeling much better than before they came in the door. I aid clients in alleviating pain, decreasing stress and putting them in a better position to live their lives with greater enthusiasm and zest. A relaxed and pain-free body does wonders for the mind and spirit. A new lease on life is a beautiful thing! There is no more gratifying profession than helping people feel better. I am blessed to be able to do what I do. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to help you, too! I have three wonderful sons who are the light of my life. In addition, two phenomenal grand babies bring me pleasure and joy everyday. I've been a Kansas City resident most of my life, but I am proud to say I was born in Samoa. Working out at the gym is one of my favorite pastimes. I've been a member of Community Progressive Baptist Church for 8 years, and my family is my passion.
