Elements Spa
“Not all massage therapists are created equal. Some have great hands, some have great knowledge. Mine had both, and possibly psychic senses.
All it took was two forearms on my back for about three seconds before she spoke.
“Hmm. Let's talk about how your body holds stress.”
I told her I knew all about it. cPTSD with repeated trauma. My body is riddled with somatic responses.
“You need deep tissue, but I don't think your body will hold up.”
Yeah, I know. I feel it too. Every moment of every day.
Then she asked permission to do glute work. Turns out, life has literally become a pain in my butt. Thankfully, there's a service for that. And it comes with a foot bath and granola.
Sometimes healing looks like someone understanding your body before you even explain it.
