Business Details
We are Little Star Therapeutic Massage. We offer therapeutic massage rooted in skill and intuition. Our founder Katrina Young is a Certified Massage Therapist. Our founder brings a gentle, calming presence affectionately known as Twinklea. Our approach was shaped from a young age by a natural calling to bodywork and caring for family members. After moving to California, we expanded our path in healing with yoga instructor certification. We deepened our understanding of body, breath, and energy through that training.
We trained at the McKinnon Body Therapy Center and continued education through mentorship with experienced healers. We refine our approach to therapeutic and intuitive touch through ongoing learning. We are currently supporting a new chapter of study toward becoming an End-of-Life Doula. We are committed to supporting others through care, presence, and compassion during life's most sacred transitions.

Services
Swedish Massage Therapy
Swedish Massage Therapy relaxes the entire body using long, gentle strokes that shepherd blood toward the heart. It is suitable for clients seeking general relaxation and stress reduction. Benefits include increased blood oxygen levels, decreased muscle toxins, lower stress hormones, and increased immune supporting cells.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage relieves chronic pain and muscle tension by applying pressure to the deepest muscle layers, tendons, and fascia. It serves clients with persistent tension or postural strain needing targeted relief. Benefits include lowered blood pressure, mood elevation, increased oxytocin and serotonin, and reduced heart and respiratory rate.
Floor Work
Floor Work combines Thai and Shiatsu techniques using compression, rotation, and stretching performed on the ground. It is performed fully clothed with loose comfortable clothing recommended, similar to assisted yoga. The practice manipulates energy lines to elevate mood, improve circulation, relieve pain, and enhance overall wellness.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese healing method and spiritual practice using hands-on application to manipulate life force energy. It supports clients seeking emotional, physical, and spiritual healing through gentle energy work. Reiki can be added to any session at no additional cost with advance notice.
Acupressure
Acupressure uses targeted pressure points on the body for energetic healing similar to acupuncture without needles. It serves clients interested in balancing energy flow and relieving tension without invasive techniques. Acupressure can be added to any session at no additional cost with advance request.
