Grae Wellness

My wife and I were introduced to Grae Wellness through our trainer, and we are so grateful! My wife saw Tim and I saw Vanetta, who were both incredible!! They are both so knowledgeable and gave the most thoughtful and targeted massages. They really listened to our full history and issued to better assess what our needs are.it was so healing and relaxing. I went back and saw Bonnie, who was also incredible and so knowledgeable, and she partnered with Rose to give the best 4 handed massage. We will definitely be going back often, as we need to include their skilled massage therapy as part of our wellness routine. Five Stars all the way!!

You can feel the shift in energy as soon as you walk in. NYC life can be stressful and when you walk into this establishment it is such a beautiful reminder that it is OK to slow down, enjoy, love, and be still. I had the most enjoyable and relaxing experience where I felt truly taken care of. As a nurse for almost 15 years who takes care of patients and empties her cup daily to pour into others, I can honestly say it is an amazing feeling to feel the same reciprocated back with genuine love. Highly recommend this place. I became a member after my first session.

Grae Wellness is the perfect space for holistic healing, relaxation, and great energy. Tim and his staff is professional, knowledgable, and friendly. And they’ll even offer you coffee, tea, and snacks. (The owner has his very own coffee brand and it delicious). Down the hall is a beautifully curated lounge space where a variety of classes and events happen, it’s so comfortable you can even take a nap. I recommend everyone to make their way down to Grae Wellness and see for yourself. They are also running a Mothers Day special. Go get your rest and relaxation! 5 stars!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! This space is clean, beautiful and the staff treats you like family. They provide EVERYTHING you’ll need for holistic healing and recovery. So amazing to see a black owned and operated wellness establishment on 5th Ave!

I truly enjoy every session I have here. Tim, Bonnie, Damsel, and Star have provided exceptional service and support. I feel like I am really in the process of healing with the different services I continue to book. Services I get: compression sleeve therapy, sports stretching, massage, infrared sauna, and yoga class. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Grae Wellness is a wonderful, warm and inviting place. The staff is lovely ...and I had the best massage ever. This place is a keeper.

I’ve been going to Grae Wellness for several months now and it has been a great experience. I’ve gotten plenty of massages in my years but never felt comfortable or proper fit when working with someone. My experience at Grae Wellness changed that trend. Tim has been great, he listens to your needs and helps understand your goals. I would recommend!

On Sunday, November 19, 2023 I received THE MOST AMAZING Luxe Facial from Bonnie at Grae Wellness. As part of the Luxe service, I was not only able to indulge in a revitalizing facial, but I also received a wonderful foot massage AND relaxed in a detoxifying crystal lined sauna bed. Oh my, it was magical! At the end, my face felt smooth and refreshed and my entire body felt renewed! If youre able to splurge a little on yourself, I would highly recommend this treatment! Thank you, Grae Wellness for an amazing experience.

This was my second time coming here, but first time getting a massage from Tim Grae. It was PHENOMENAL from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. Great conversations, ambiance, he makes you feel pretty comfortable and will answer any questions you have. The massage itself!? It’s not your average massage ok, it will get you right and you’ll feel so much relief. There was new found tension in my body that I never knew I had. He’s so skilled at what he does. Lots of breathing to get through and it’s also still very relaxing. I got off the bed feeling so light and euphoric. I’ve had a my fair share of massages at other places, but I’ve NEVER had one like this. I could literally feel the tension and stress be flushed out my body w. The techniques he does. Moving was easier afterwards and I just wanted to dance and flow 😂. I suffer from back, neck, and shoulder pain having scoliosis, and my back feels SO much better. I’ll definitely be back.

I went to this space, completely not knowing anything about how different it would be from a traditional “massage”. The place was cozy, and super calm. I enjoyed the fact that we didn’t wear shoes inside and you can feel the cleanliness in your feet . I did the massage and the sauna. This was completely different. I left feeling not only physically better but in a different mental space . Two days after I feel calmer and not as “ tense”. Getting knowledge from Tim before the session also encouraged me to continue my self care on my own by changing some daily habits . I’ll definitely be going back 💓.

Tim Grae the founder, is excellent, he has a gentle and caring personality, and he also has humor. I enjoy the full-body spa; the interior design is tranquil and welcoming. The cupping therapy is amazing!

I had my first massage with Tim and I was very happy with the service from beginning to end. The office has a calm, welcoming atmosphere when you enter. I waited less than 5 minutes for my appointment to begin. First, Tim explained what was to be done and gave me the opportunity to ask questions and also to choose the background music which was a welcomed difference from other places I’ve been. The massage itself was divine. I’d describe it as a perfect balance between strength and tenderness. It was deep enough to be effective but gentle enough that I fell asleep. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. After my massage I inquired about the scented, soy candles they had displayed. He talked me through a few of them and explained their other uses aside from simply smelling great. What impressed me was that he didn’t try to sell me on them. I later purchased one and I love it. I would highly recommend Grae Therapy.

Grae Wellness was very professionally and supportive with my request for an at home event with a few friends. Eric was amazing; everyone enjoyed his energy. He was also very informative about how to release the tension we had. I highly recommend their services if you looking to relax your muscle and be around great people!

Hi Mr. Grae,Sending blessings. I wanted to take the time to write to you to tell you what a blessing it was to experience a massage at your sacred space.I woke up the next day feeling completely different. No exaggeration. I haven’t been able to exercise consistently for about 15 years because my back would just go crazy…I would experience a ton of pain. I was able to walk but no aerobic anything. But that next morning I decided to try to do an aerobic exercise class online and I’ve been doing them ever since. And my back is okay!I also couldn’t move in some ways. Like my arms/shoulders would lock up. And now I’m like Gumby! It’s wild.I really felt like my body was giving up on me in some ways (because perhaps I had given up on it for some time). I think the massage was a God pill in a series of many God pills that I needed. Certainly, it helped regarding releasing stress and trauma.Overall I just feel so much lighter and so much healthier. I’m on my way at least. I am now of the firm believe that all seniors such as myself should experience at least one of your massages in their lifetime!And so I just wanted to say THANK YOU. And I pray blessings over the works of your hands…and that your sacred business continue in a robust and healing manner.Peace,Regina Evans

Tim is truly the best massage therapist I’ve had in the city. His price is worth it because you will leave feeling resorted for DAYS after treatment. Attentive, thorough and just a great person to receive bodywork from. Thank you!!!

I absolutely love Grae Therapy! The spaces at Grae wellness are clean, cozy, and comfortable! The moment I step into the massage therapy/acupuncture or class/event space, I feel welcomed. I feel at home. The staff is so friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. The services are top notch, and it feels good knowing that the staff at Grae Therapy is truly invested in YOUR well-being. Hurry up and get some Grae Therapy!

Grae Therapy gave me the best massage I have ever experienced in my life. Their focus is to heal and provide a relaxing experience. After one session, I feel so much better and I look forward to booking more appointments. If you are looking for a life-changing as well as therapeutic massage, I strongly suggest Grae Therapy. The best of the best!

I had a WONDERFUL, EUPHORIC SIMPLY AMAZING Massage at Grae Therapy. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive to my needs! After explaining to Tim some of the areas I was experiencing discomfort, he was able to provide relief! Its been 2 weeks and the pain has yet to return...HE MUST have serious magical hands!!! Im looking forward to returning at some point this month for round 2 and plan to revisit monthly!

Grae Therapy is amazing!They truly connect with their clients and listen to their needs.I met them at fashion week as they were backstage providing services to the crew and models. I had back pain for some time due to my profession that was quickly relived of my pain when I saw them before and after the show.Their new convenient location is beautiful, relaxing, and comfortable.Im so happy to be apart of the Grae Therapy community!

I seriously love this space. The location is ideal and the space is exceptionally intimate. I love the yoga classes at this space and if you go down the hall to Grae Wellness, you can schedule an excellent massage session. That space provides deep tissue massage, cupping, infrared therapy and did I mention that walls are purple?! Both spaces leave me feeling refreshed and amazing.

I highly recommend Star’s Saturday yoga class. The great workout and her uplifting presence improved my entire day. Thank you!

I suffer from a pinched nerve in my neck and arthritis which caused a tremendous amount of shoulder pain and headaches that were interfering with my everyday activities for over 2 years. After reading some wonderful reviews about Grae therapy I finally decided to make an appointment with Tim G which changed my life. Tim took the time to ask questions and listen to my issues while creating a plan of action to help get my pain under control. It was a pleasant surprise to meet a therapist who is not only thoughtful and caring but extremely knowledgeable about anatomy and the bodys intricacies. He targeted my problem areas and tailored the massage to my personal needs. The ambiance is phenomenal and set the mood for the most relaxing and enjoyable massage Ive ever received. Ive now incorporated his massages into my overall wellness routine monthly. Im finally back in the gym and living my life without limitations.

Came to Grae Wellness for a chiro session and found my new favorite chiropractor!!!!! Dr. Haroun is the best, knowledgeable, professional, friendly, welcoming... And the was adjustment outstading, hands down the best Ive ever had.Left me walking on air! Do your back a favor and go see Dr. H!

I have been a client of Grae Therapy for a few years now and will continue to be for years to come. I visit Tim often due to neck & shoulder pain from working long hours on the computer and also muscle soreness from the gym.The entire experience is sensational!! From the moment you enter Grae Therapy you are automatically de-stressed, all your senses are heightened. The smell of essential oils, relaxing music, you are offered tea & welcomed with kindness. Tim asks all the right questions to know what is the right way to go about your session and he is done, you are feeling brand new and wanting more.I highly recommend Grae Therapy!

The quality of care is outstanding. Dealt with shoulder pain that resulted in limited mobility. Tim was able to loosen the tissue and performed stretch that helped with PT treatment. I sit most of the day so my hips and lower back get tight then CrossFit at night, Tim is able to release tension and help with maintain fluid movement.Whether it’s a chronic or acute issue, I highly recommend Grae’s therapy. Location is easy to get to, booking appointments is fast and seamless, location is clean and calming.Staff listens to issues. Evaluates the body and then does their thing. I’ve been to several high end spas and have had countless sport messages but the immediate relieve and lasting positive effects from Grae’s Therapy cannot be beat.

Walking into Grae Wellness you will automatically feel acknowledged, heard and cared for. All of their services are top notch, and the professionalism is impeccable. The energy in their space is so peaceful and positive, you feel good just sitting there in silence. I highly recommend!

I experienced the BEST massage at GraeWellnessLounge 💆🏾‍♀️ 💆🏾‍♀️. The staff was professional and really took care of my needs. The ambiance was amazing and really puts you in the zone to relax. In addition, they were very responsive when I sent them an inquiry via their IG page. I am adding massages to my self care regimen and will definitely be back! Grae Wellness is a Black Muslim owned business and they were very accommodating!#selfcare #massagetherapist #massage #graewellness

Mary is A GENIUS!I used to be a ballet dancer and have had many massages over the years for various pains. I WISH Mary had been in my life years ago because she is the best massage therapist I have ever been to! I recently went to see her after I had some issues with my shoulder from working out. She has helped me feel better and continued to keep me pain free. GO SEE MARY!! I promise you will not be disappointed.

Soooooo necessary! I’m a dancer/athlete who gets massages as part of regular tune up and maintenance. It’s so wonderful when someone understands your body and what you need without you saying much. Thank you Tim for truly creating the space and doing this work. I feel taken care of. 🙏🏾

I had my first session this past Tuesday and I cant explain in words how wonderful my body still feels. I had some serious knots on my back that caused a lot of discomfort during work (I have a desk job from 9-5) and prevented me from reaching my full potential when I was Kickboxing in the studio. After a while I learned how to work about the discomfort/pain in my everyday activities. But after having them massaged broken down during my massage session, I can whole heartedly say that I feel SO MUCH BETTER! I can breathe better (due to being realigned during therapy), sit straight with no bothersome feeling and work out at almost 100%. I still have to get them worked on again but at the moment, I am feeling great! Even 6 days later! This is how I know how much of an amazing massage it was. Especially to know that my massage therapist was able to read my bodys need and know where it truly needed work to be done on.

Came for the massage- stayed for the community.Tim is gifted, respectful, welcoming & supportive. The massage was great but so was the time before & afterward. Getting a chance to safety sit with Tim & his team, allowed me space to reconnect to self.

The team at Grae Wellness goes above and beyond to guide you in the right direction on improving your physical health. I enjoy the time spent getting my treatment and the welcoming energy to the studio is always a plus for me.

Tim is quite literally the best massage therapist in all of NYC. Hes available 24 hours a day- and has helped me maintain my body for all facets of life, not to mention he’s a big reason why I was able to complete NYC’s marathon in 2019. Absolute legend, thank you Tim for all you do.

Tim Grae is dope! No matter how long or the capacity in which you know Tim...he is PROFESSIONAL! He did not give me a massage, he catered to the areas of my body that needed therapy!! The care he exutes for your well being is extraordinary!! He is well versed in anontomy and physiology...he knows what he is doing!! Thank you Tim Grae and Grae Therapy.#BlackOwned#BlessedHands#Punctual#Reliable#Therapy

Absolutely incredible, would highly recommend to family, friends, and coworkers.My only complaint is google won’t let me give them 6 stars, 5 stars doesn’t do Grae Therapy justice. Mary and the team have broken the scale for quality of care and I look forward to scheduling my next appointment.Book now before I take your spot!

My wife and I have been seeing Tim for years and cant say enough about how passionate and knowledgeable both he and Mary are. Tims athletic and dance background make him uniquely perfect for diagnosing and treating my old warriors frame. Every session is tailored to the local issues but with an eye toward the bigger picture and lasting health.

I had the absolute best experience with Tim Grae. Tim asked me questions...no one ever asked me questions they just tell you to go in the room and wait for your person to come in. I told Tim about my knee concerns he worked on it and I will know better tomorrow but for right now going up the stairs did not hurt. That alone will have me return.

I called at 11:50 this morning and made a deep tissue appt for this evening. Gave my email address and was told I would receive and email shortly and just needed to click “confirm.” As an afterthought, I asked for the price (couldn’t find it on the website). Guy said $235 (or something in that ballpark) for a 1 hour deep tissue, or $185 for first time. I said that I wasn’t expecting it to be so high, that I would probably keep the appointment, and would call back within 15 minutes if I needed to cancel it. (Should have just kept my mouth shut, but can’t help the urge to just be honest. In an event, I said please make the appointment because I was almost certain I’d keep it.).He replied “how about you call back in 15 minutes if you want to keep it.” I calmly explained that I had been calling spas for 50 minutes to get a massage that day, everyone was booked, and “can I please just make this spa appointment?” He said okay.Forty minutes later, I still hadn’t received the email confirmation. I call back and said “hi again, i called earlier to make an appointment and never got the confirmation, so am just following up.” Guy said he intentionally did not enter the appointment because I sounded uncertain. I reminded him that I had said (and had reiterated) that I wanted to make the appointment, and that he had replied “okay.” He acknowledged saying “okay,” that he would put me down for this evening, and recalled the conversation correctly, and then started aggressively talking over me. I said, “I just wanted to make a massage appointment, but this has been distressing, so now I am cancelling.” He cheerfully replied, “okay!”Couple things: Felt compelled to post because I am not someone who has beef with strangers, and this was just bizarre. Also - couldn’t this have been avoided if he had sent me the confirmation email as promised—I.e., isn’t that the point of the “confirm” button?

The best massage hands down--- Tims hands are something out of this world! Best MASSAGE I HAVE EVER HAD.... and Mary-- the most hospitable woman on this planet, she made me so comfortable and at ease-- Best in NYC hands down!

In New York City everything is a rush, rush, rush.Even during yoga people rush out before Svanasa,so why would anyone spend hours at a yoga studio when there is always a rush, rush, rush?Because it felt like home. It felt full of loveIt felt like family. It felt like a community“It” is called Grae’s Therapy and I’m grateful I stayed hours there with no desire to rush, rush, rush

The Grae experience is top tier every time, an amazing environment with a great team. Great space to recharge, I highly recommend their wellness services, your body will thank you :)

Mary has magical hands! I’ve been seeing her every week for over a year now as part of treating some back/neck issues and I’ve never felt better. You won’t regret making an appt - sent multiple friends her way and they feel the same way :)

Such a beautiful, tranquil & healing space just outside of union square. unique yoga classes, knowledgeable instructors & several types of massages. it’s a hidden self care gem !

I was moved to write a haiku about my experience:Massage Haiku:forearm elbow handsfingers make valleys flatteningmountains shift to sandit was everything that I needed after a month of intense physical and stressful activity. I am grateful!

The first yoga place ive been to that feels zenful! its a beautiful and airy hidden gem in union square! love the natural lightning that comes through during the midday mindfulness sessions and yoga classes

Fun motivating class and I like how it was segmented. The owners and instructors were very friendly as well. The yoga flow threw me off a little bit I appreciated that it was earnest and informal.

Had an amazing massage and learned so much to improve my posture once I left. Highly recommend. Studio is beautiful and so zen.

The amazing energy of the instructors is infectious! Thank you for providing much needed services. My mind & body are restored, rejuvenated, and refreshed!

Tim is a magician! He listens to what you need and then caters your sessions to be the most beneficial for you. Cant recommend highly enough!

I took a breathe class presented by EFFIJI BREATH at the lounge. The space is amazing. Its clean, full of good energy and vibes. The class was indescribable. A beautiful experience.

I am 100% alive and back in my body thanks for working with Tim today. Intuitive, professional, just what I needed to get everything back in alignment. 5 stars!

My experience here was magical. I feel super relaxed and light on my feet. 10/10 definitely recommend.

Amazing space and really knowledgeable therapists and great experience. Mary was amazing! Highly recommend this place. Was here on travel and now feel jetlag free!

Always can count on Tim to untangle, soothe and calm the muscles that are all out of whack. Just GO! book your appt.

Go to Mary! She knows her stuff and will massage away your aches and pains. Great for athletes.
