Jenny Ahn LAc
Founding Mother
Jenny has been a lifelong student and Yoga teacher and has been immersed in the healing arts since 2005. Jenny’s background and experience are rooted in Traditional East Asian Medicine, Ayurvedic Healing and the Yogic Lineages.
Jenny has worked extensively as an Ayurvedic Postpartum doula supporting mothers in their recovery from childbirth since 2012. Jenny has been teaching Yoga in the Long Beach community for over a decade, including Senior Yoga classes and Yoga for Drug Rehabilitation. She leads workshops on herbal medicine making, courses in self care, and restorative yoga & mindfulness retreats with the aim of empowering folks to take control of their health and well being. She co-founded Sacred Roots Holistic Healing in 2013, a community wellness and education center located in Long Beach, Ca.
Having experienced deep healing by reconnecting and diving deeper into her cultural heritage-reclaiming the medicine she was raised with has led her to a deeper appreciation of her ancestral roots.
Jenny’s work is centered around preventative healing, using a trauma informed lens, and an understanding that wellness is interconnected to the health of the planet and society as a whole.
Currently, Jenny has been integrating and learning more about somatic therapy as to help further bridge the mind-body connection to those on the healing journey.

Dana Kerns, CMT
“Dana (Dayn) is a certified massage therapist who graduated from Panacea Holistic Institute in 2024 and has been practicing professionally for a year. They decided to pursue massage therapy after seeing a lack of trans and queer representation in the field, wanting to create a comfortable space for LGBTQ+ people to receive bodywork. They combine modalities such as circulatory, deep tissue, and shiatsu massage to tailor to the needs of their clients. They also offer cupping services. Dayn practices out of Sacred Roots, as well is available for events, markets and pop-ups. In this way, they are eager to offer opportunities for community members to access bodywork who may not otherwise seek out massage treatments.”
