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 Outer 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.
I enjoy outdoor activities such as walking and hiking, bicycling, swimming, kayaking, and sailboating.
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!
Rachel Malcolm, LMT
Growing up in Ann Arbor, I feel grateful to be able to be a part of my hometown community providing holistic care as an LMT for over 27 years. I am certified in NMT, deep tissue, Swedish, sports massage and Myofacial. Getting to know my clients and listen to their needs is very important to me. I look forward to being apart of the Salt Springs Massage community! I studied at the Ann Arbor institute of Massage Therapy where I graduated over 25 years ago. I also graduated from EMU in 2006 with a lit and marketing degree. I’m a published author as I love to write in my free time. Other things I love to do in my free time is spend time with my 3 dogs! We have plenty of adventures both indoors and outdoors! I love walking and exploring! Music moves me and reading takes me into new worlds and places, I enjoy this very much! These are just a few of my favorite things. After all, It’s the journey I admire most of all!
