Winnie Cain, who met the Akha people in her study of Thai massage,
has embraced a mission to help the Akha women maintain their culture,
traditions, and important knowledge of healing herbs and massage.
She founded the Akha Women’s Foundation to provide opportunities
for the Akha women and a way for visitors to study and learn from
them.
Winnie personally leads tours to visit the Akha villages,
receive training in Thai massage and healing, and experience the wonderful
culture and lush landscapes of Thailand. Funds from the tours are
used to help support projects for the Akha people.
Winnie
has studied and practiced massage techniques for over 20 years. Her
training includes courses in China and Thailand. She currently resides
in Phoenix, Arizona, where she teaches and performs massage.
