Questions, answered with care, before you reach out.
Shakihi is a creative studio that builds brands, websites, social media, and operational systems for wellness, travel, and creative businesses. The name comes from a word meaning love, and that's the method: every brand we build has to pass one test, does it come from care?
Seven, built to work as one system or stand alone: branding (identity, voice, and story), web design, social media strategy and management, operations (workflows, SOPs, and practical AI), growth and market entry, launch packages for new practitioners and founders, and Strategy Day, a one-day facilitated intensive that ends with a plan you believe in.
Wellness practitioners, travel and hospitality brands, and creatives, from acupuncturists and bodyworkers opening their first practice to boutique hotels, retreats, and product lines preparing for growth. If you're launching, repositioning, or expanding, we build the pieces you need.
Two things: we build brand, web, content, and operations as one system rather than disconnected parts, and we've lived both sides of the work. Shakihi is led by an operations consultant with over fifteen years building infrastructure for a global luxury travel brand across 26 markets, and a certified acupuncturist and Lomilomi practitioner who built a wellness practice from the ground up.
Shakihi is based in British Columbia, Canada, on the traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, and we work with clients internationally. Our portfolio spans the Netherlands, Mallorca, and Hawaiian wellness programs, and we've personally run market entries in Spain, New York, and Greece.
One piece is fine. Take just a brand identity, just a website, or just a Strategy Day, or the whole system from first brand strokes to a business that runs beautifully. Whatever we build, you leave with clarity, ownership, and something you can run yourself. No retainers you can't escape.
Every project is scoped individually, because a solo practitioner opening her first studio and a hotel entering a new market need very different things. Tell us what you're creating and where you want it to go (email hello@shakihi.com) and we'll reply with honest thoughts and a clear scope. No mystery.
Yes, that's exactly what our Launch service is for. It covers everything between I'm ready and I'm booked: brand, website, booking or shop setup, pricing, insurance and the paperwork nobody warns you about, and a 90-day plan to your first full calendar. We've built every piece ourselves, as both consultant and practitioner.
Yes. Our growth and market entry service covers the roadmap, pricing and offer structure, local setup, and partnerships. We've personally opened markets in Spain, New York, and Greece, and built compliance frameworks that held up across 26 markets. Expansion is not a mystery to us.
A Strategy Day is a one-day facilitated intensive for founders and teams who need clarity more than another deliverable. It includes pre-day discovery, a full-day session where your whole business goes on the table, a growth and innovation roadmap, and a 30-day follow-up call, built on methods we've facilitated for the Acumen Fund in New York and the Museum of Happiness in London.
Either. We build a content strategy rooted in your voice, then run it with you, or hand you the calendars, templates, and playbook so you can run it yourself. Your business is yours; we mean that literally.
