About
The person behind the practice.
Nakia Hood is a Florida-licensed massage therapist (License MA979740) and the founder of Shonuf Wellness. He does this work for a simple reason: to bring healing and care to the communities he serves.
The name “Shonuf” is Nakia’s pen name — the one he writes poetry, stories, and music under. In the South, sho nuff means “for certain.” That’s the promise built into the name: the wellness he provides is for certain.
Recovery shouldn’t be a luxury reserved for people with spare time and spa budgets — it belongs to working parents, long-shift nurses, weekend athletes, and everyone in between. That’s why he brings it to your door.
Every session is built around one idea: meet people where they are — literally. Your home, your schedule, your body’s needs that day.
