Our Story

Founded by Master Massage Therapist Tim Grae in 2013, Grae Wellness wanted to change the narrative of massage therapy as more than just a spa treatment. By proving how the practice can truly heal the body and improve optimal health when coupled with the right education and guidance.
Born and raised in Harlem, New York, Tim Grae wanted to bring health and wellness to the BIPOC community around him. With over 20 years of experience in massage therapy and personal training, Tim transformed his vision into a physical manifestation. Grae Wellness is one of the only 24 hour massage therapy & acupuncture recovery companies of its kind.
Our 800 sqft wellness lounge was introduced in 2018 as a inclusive space for our community to gather, learn and evolve. The extension of our therapy space has brought hundreds of like minded wellness focused unique individuals together. Connecting wellness practitioners from all cultural and professional backgrounds over the years, Grae Wellness has given this collective a unique definition to community healing.
We are a Black owned business which focuses on modern and indigenous modalities from both eastern and western medicine. Grae Wellness has been committed to education and representation when teaching people how to take care of the mind, body, and spirit.
Proudly, we continue to help others recover, restore and rejuvenate. Our mission is to sow the seeds for the next generation of healers to have a home for their practice.
