Lucy's Massage ((better)) Link

It was the most therapeutic question I have ever been asked.

I hadn't told her about my father. She just knew . The massage itself was not a "feel-good" experience. Let me be honest: it hurt. Lucy has the hands of a sculptor and the intuition of a bloodhound. She found adhesions I didn't know I had. She pressed on a spot near my hip that made my foot tingle—a connection I didn't learn in biology class. It was the most therapeutic question I have ever been asked

Twenty minutes in, I cried. Not sad tears. Relief tears. It felt like someone had finally decided to help me put down a heavy box I had been carrying for a decade. When the clock ran out, I didn't jump off the table. I floated. My shoulders were touching my ears

Walking into Lucy’s studio was different. There was no marble fountain or new-age pan flute music. It was a quiet, warm room in a converted craftsman house. The only sound was the soft hum of a space heater and the snap of clean sheets. Most massage therapists ask, "How is the pressure?" Lucy asked, "Where do you live when you are stressed?"
