Indulgence Health is the realization of my dreams. When I earned my engineering degree in 1996 and began working in Corporate America, I would come home each night feeling like I could do more to create a lasting impact to my community. I wanted to explore my interests in alternative healthcare plus address the issue that there are very few Black-owned health and wellness spas and safe spaces for Black women and men, and other minority groups to receive treatment in Maryland.

In 2005, I went to school for massage therapy. I initially started as a part-time solo mobile business in 2007. Mainly working on family, friends and referrals. In 2013, I rented two rooms inside a hair salon and hired my first therapist/receptionist. This experience helped me shape my vision for Indulgence as a health and wellness space versus a spa and opened Indulgence Massage & Bodywork as a brick and mortar business, (now known as Indulgence Health) in 2014.

Touch is one of the first forms of communication that we learn, and a key part to preserving physical and mental health. I’m proud that our clients experience immediate relief from pain, depression, and anxiety through our services; and for the past 10 years, we’ve served, helped heal, educated and created a lasting impact in our community.
