Janna Akins is the director and co-owner of Body & Soul Massage Center and Massage School.

Janna has an extensive background in the healing arts and holds a doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, Iridology, and Homeopathy.
A native to West Texas, the southwest influence is prominent in her life. Janna began her study of natural remedies and herbs as a young child with her grandmother and spent two years in Florida studying Native American herbs. When she moved to Kansas, she was adopted into a Pottawatomie family with a Native American medicine woman as her new sister. She is a Reiki Master and a Master Herbologist.
Janna has more than 1,000 hours of training and has traveled throughout much of the United States to continue her education in the healing arts. Her other credentials include certification in La Stone Massage, Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Massage, Thai Massage, Swedish Massage, Bach Flower Essence, Lomi Lomi Hawaiian Temple Massage, and Fijian Barefoot Massage.
Janna believes it takes a special kind of person to make a successful career of massage therapy. “It has to be in your heart to want to help others. If you have that, then you can be a wonderful therapist because the caring will come right through your hands,” she says. As a massage therapist for over a decade, her dedication to her work and continuing education bring a wealth of knowledge to her students.
