Owner & Chief Masseur
I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. At the age of 22, as a member of my Baltimore hip-hop crew, I was chasing my dreams to become a rapper. Dreams that took me to London, away from my birth city and culture for the very first time. Since then, I have visited more than 17 countries, from Europe to South and Central America, and even Northern Africa. During my travels I began picking up small pieces of the cultures along the way and learned what is universal to us all.
After traveling the world, I moved to Brooklyn, New York, where I worked as a real estate agent for almost seven years. This is when I first noticed the real power of touch. Selling real estate in New York isn’t for the weak stomached — it’s cutthroat, mean, and intentional. When a client wanted to hug me or shake my hand, oddly enough, it made me feel good. It made me feel powerful.
So what does it mean when someone allows you to touch them? I knew that I could do more, which led to me becoming a masseur. I studied and graduated from the Holistic Massage Training Institute in 2017. I was recruited by Nicole Colavito, to join one of the most talented teams of therapists and estheticians, at the Ivy Hotel and Spa. One of the cities premier boutique hotels. Home to incredible staff, impeccable leadership, and an AMAZING spa team. I opened Primal Massage in 2021, where I use everything I’ve learned over the years with your five senses… and most importantly, touch.

...is a lot like my workspace, it’s a collection too! This massage is more than a treatment, it's a ceremony of strokes and stretches from some of my favorite modalities and mentors. Unique touch that has lodged itself in my memory that when performed on me, there was no denying their place in this design. My curated massage and rhythm is one that pays attention to the fine details of kinesiology and proper draping, making it relaxing and balancing all combined into one. You feel protected, loved and returned to a happy state.
