Dr. Dominique Carson, LMP, is a dynamic force in the wellness, media, and public speaking arenas. As an award-winning licensed massage practitioner, she has dedicated herself to healing through the power of touch, blending science, skill, and soul in every session. In the spring of 2025, Dr. Carson took a bold step by launching her own mobile massage business, Mani Benedette (Italian for "Blessed Hands")—a name that reflects both her heritage and her heart for service. This move followed over five years of part-time mobile massage work and three transformative years as the lead massage practitioner at the nationally recognized Green Leaf and Pebble Med Spa in Virginia Beach.

But Dr. Carson’s impact extends far beyond wellness clinics. She is also an accomplished journalist, compelling orator, and published author whose storytelling skills have elevated voices across culture and community. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, she has interviewed over 100 public figures—including Grammy Award-winning artists, actors, spiritual leaders, and social changemakers—capturing their journeys with grace, insight, and purpose. Her writing has appeared in multiple national outlets, making her a respected figure in media as much as in massage therapy.

A firm believer in serving both body and spirit, Dr. Carson uses her dual platforms—hands-on healing and powerful storytelling—to uplift, empower, and educate. Her mission is deeply rooted in faith, resilience, and intentional impact. She has become a guiding light for aspiring massage therapists, journalists, and public speakers, showing that purposeful passion can fuel a multidimensional career. With every massage session, media interview, and public address, Dr. Carson lives out her mission: to facilitate people’s lives with her hands and her words.

In addition to her wellness and media work, Dr. Carson is deeply committed to education and advocacy. She regularly speaks at schools, conferences, and community events, encouraging young professionals—especially women and people of color—to pursue careers in healing arts and communications. Her voice resonates with authenticity and compassion, drawing from her own journey of overcoming adversity, breaking barriers, and stepping into leadership with courage and conviction.

Dr. Carson’s work reflects a rare blend of intellect, empathy, and spiritual grounding. Whether she’s writing a feature story, easing someone’s pain through massage, or delivering a keynote message, she remains anchored in service. Her holistic philosophy reminds the world that healing isn't just physical — it’s emotional, spiritual, and communal. As she continues to expand her reach, Dr. Carson is shaping a legacy of impact, proving that when purpose meets passion, transformation is inevitable.
