- Katrina
Katrina hails from the Philippines, where she is better known by her nickname "Twinkle" (which is where Little Star got its name). She developed an interest and an intuition for bodywork at a very early age, giving massages to her family members at the end of a hard day's work.
Shortly after moving to California, Katrina earned her yoga instructor certification.
Katrina studied massage at the McKinnon Body Therapy Center, as well as privately under the guidance of a number of other skilled healers. Katrina has recently begun a new journey, studying and training to become an End of Life Doula.
Katrina lives in Richmond Annex with her husband Michael, her 5-year-old son Joe, her 2-year-old daughter Diana, and her 3 cats (Henry, Bruce, and Jojo). She enjoys the calming sound of ocean waves, and blows off steam by painting, drawing, and playing her crystal bowls.
