Massage Therapist & Men’s Wellness Practitioner
I am a certified massage therapist and men’s wellness practitioner, offering an integrative approach to support men, especially Black men, on their journey toward wholeness. My work combines embodiment-based massage, Metta (loving-kindness) meditation, trauma-informed care, and African spiritual philosophies and practices grounded in safety, kinship, and cultural resonance. I am trained in trauma-informed care and men’s mental health.
My professional background spans over twenty years across law, global health, gender equality, and inclusive development. As a Black man, father, and army veteran, with lived experience across Africa, Europe, and North America, I understand the visible and invisible burdens many men bear. These personal and professional insights have shaped our men’s wellness programme, Uzima Journey, a space for slowing down, reconnecting with the body, and rediscovering the self through stillness, story, touch, and kinship.
My practice is especially tailored for Black men seeking a safe space to access culturally sensitive wellness services that integrate modern approaches with ancestral practices, something different from conventional talk therapy or a gentle path toward it. Whether you are not ready for formal clinical support or you are looking for a practice that complements it with warmth and cultural grounding, you will find space here. Where needed, I also signpost individuals to culturally aware, male-friendly therapists and support networks.
My sessions centre on the power of stillness, therapeutic touch, collective healing practices, and deep listening, paired with nature-based offerings like fire circles, retreats, and outdoor movement. Together, these create a holistic space where men can show up fully and journey toward their own wholeness.
