Our Massage Therapists
Cindy Akans
LMT, CRT, Owner
I am a Saline resident, graduate of Saline High School, and the proud owner of this downtown business. As a Licensed Massage Therapist in the states of Michigan and North Carolina, I also hold a Diploma as a Relaxation Therapist from Stanford Career Institute. I am a graduate of the Ann Arbor School of Massage, Herbal & Natural Medicine, and have been practicing massage therapy throughout Michigan for sixteen years, and the Inner Banks of North Carolina, for four years.
Prior to becoming a massage therapist, I worked in the Physical Therapy field. As a Physical Therapy Technician and Aqua Therapist for 8 years, I enjoyed helping people rehabilitate from injuries, trauma, and surgery.
My therapeutic massage is unique for each client depending on their individual needs. Your service may include Swedish, deep tissue, Myofascial, craniosacral, cupping, and or stretching techniques, as agreed upon prior to treatment.
My leisure time includes outdoor activities such as walking and hiking, bicycling, swimming, kayaking, and sail boating.
Throughout all of my 20s helping myself and others to obtain optimal health and wellness has been a passion of mine. I graduated massage school in 2021 from the Ann Arbor School of Massage, Herbal & Natural Medicine. In my practice, I use an eclectic approach to massage by incorporating techniques from Swedish/ relaxation, deep tissue, reflexology, and myofascial relsease. In my full time job I work in Pediatric Neurology at Mott Children’s Hospital as an EEG technologist. In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors, reading, visiting my niece and nephew, and doing yoga and Pilates. I look forward to assisting you on your wellness journey!
