Portrait of Roxanne Young

“I believe that karma can attract positive or negative energies from our day-to-day activities — and from those effects, the body holds different types of tension.”

My Story

A path shaped by movement

I have been a licensed Massage Practitioner since 2019, after graduating from the Cortiva Institute in Hoboken, New Jersey. Before entering the field of massage therapy, I worked as a full-time professional freelance dancer, performing with various project-based companies throughout New York and across the country. My background in dance deeply informs the way I approach the body, movement, recovery, and healing.

Throughout my career, I have worked with clients in both New Jersey and Kentucky, including positions at Massage Envy in Hoboken and Rest Assured Massage and Spa in Lexington. In 2021, after returning to New York, I made the intentional decision to establish my own massage practice, KarmaInMotion88 — creating a space centered around healing, body awareness, and restorative care.

As both a dancer and massage practitioner, I understand how stress, physical strain, and emotional tension can manifest within the body. My work focuses on helping clients reconnect with themselves through intentional touch, therapeutic techniques, and mindful care. I especially enjoy working with individuals experiencing chronic pain, tension, or physical discomfort, because I believe healing begins with awareness and consistency.

One of the most rewarding parts of my practice is hearing clients share how much better they feel after a session — not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. My goal is to help people feel supported in their wellness journey and to encourage massage therapy as an important part of self-care, recovery, and overall well-being.
