“Next Man Up is my passion. My life’s work is dedicated to relieving the level of stress in our community, whether mental or physical. Massage therapy is a form of natural healing and “life” medicine. Men typically do not have a place to call their own, where they can focus on self, but now they do. Next Man Up promotes self care to men in Bronzeville and the surrounding neighborhoods on the South Side of Chicago.”
