Karina Mueller is the founder and owner of Kenai Massage, and a former Licensed Massage Therapist of 12 years. Karina left a career in the corporate world in 2010 to pursue her passion for natural health and wellness through massage therapy. Following the success of her private practice in east Memphis, she expanded her business to create Kenai Massage. Karina sold that business when her family moved to Chattanooga in March 2021 in order to live closer to her parents. She has been overwhelmed by the incredible response from clients since she opened Kenai Massage in August 2021! Following the birth of her 3rd child, Karina retired her massage license in order to focus her attention on running the business, and most importantly her boys. 

Karina’s goal is to create a serene and inviting space where her clients can benefit from a diverse list of massage modalities from experienced and highly trained massage therapists. At Kenai Massage we want our clients to receive the highest value from your time with us. We have a true passion for natural health and wellness and take tremendous pride in treating our clients with the highest level of professionalism and care.
