Massage | Lucy's

I have seen Lucy three times since then. I am not "cured." I still get stressed. My shoulders still creep up toward my ears during bad meetings. But now I have a reset button. I have a place where the noise stops and the healing begins. Not every massage therapist is a Lucy. But they are out there. They are the ones who don't look at their phone during your session. They are the ones who ask about your emotional state, not just your muscle groups.

I didn’t book an appointment with Lucy for a luxury spa day. I booked it out of desperation. My shoulders were touching my ears. My lower back had been screaming for three weeks after a bad deadlift. I was running on caffeine and cortisol. lucy's massage
