When the MT actually listens to me by working thoroughly on the area I've mentioned. Incorporating heat in some way is always nice. I like it when the therapist communicates, but isn't necessarily trying to start a conversation. A to-go cup of tea or water would be nice. I also just like an overall welcoming atmosphere. Give me that and I'm happy.

Well it wasn’t a vision. I experienced it. I think it was on, like my 30th birthday. I was very fit in those days. I was working for a chiropractor at the time. I was living on Maui. I was incredibly fit back then. I decided to do something good for myself. I knew pretty much all of the good massage therapists on the island. I had four or five that I really liked. Two of them were a couple that worked out of a studio at their house. So I hired them for two hours, one hour each.
I got up early in the morning, drank a cup of really good coffee, and went for a 16 mile run on the beach. Got home zoned, sat in the shower for about a half hour. Got out, dressed, and went to my massage appointment. Talk about freakin good. These two were really good massage therapists. They always had a following. I had the guy first. I’m zoned already from the run. His massage was deep, firm, but not painful. Ya know that perfect pressure. So that was the first hour. Then she came in. Now I’m really zoned times 2. Her massage was not quite as firm, however she integrated a lot of Thai massage into her work. Anyway two hours of amazing bodywork after a 16 mile run on a beautiful beach on Maui. That was my best massage/ birthday present ever.
