Hi, I’m Cass, the heart behind AKYN. My journey into holistic health is rooted in a deep respect for nature and a passion for blending traditional wisdom with modern practices. Through Zenthai Shiatsu, herbalism, and intentional self-care, I’ve discovered that wellness comes from aligning the mind, body, and spirit.

I’m a certified Zenthai Shiatsu therapist, having completed over 650 hours of hands-on training. This modality combines Zen Shiatsu, Traditional Thai Massage, and Osteopathic techniques, offering a powerful approach to addressing the body’s patterns and imbalances that underlie physical discomfort.

My herbalism practice is built on connection and intention. I’ve studied grassroots herbalism with The School of Elemental Herbalism also completing their mentorship program. This foundation allows me to craft remedies that complement bodywork, creating a holistic approach to both immediate concerns and long-term vitality.

I offer handmade herbal tinctures, brewed for a minimum of six weeks to extract the active constituents from each plant. These tinctures not only complement bodywork but also serve as a supportive addition to maintaining balance and well-being within the body.

AKYN was created to share these practices with others, guiding you toward balance and vitality through your journey of life. We are a space where wellness and nature converge, offering a blend of practices inspired by plants, elements, and life’s rhythms.

For me, well-being is about living with purpose, presence, and vitality. Every session, product, and workshop is designed with care and intention to support you towards homeostasis.

At AKYN, we are committed to accessibility and community care. Through our Helping Hand program, we offer discounted or complimentary treatments and products to those in need, support and kindness is foundational in what we offer.

Let’s connect! Whether you have questions or want to learn more about our offerings, I’d love to hear from you.
