I think my masseuse may be a cult member.
My neck had been achey for the last few weeks so I treated myself to a massage. I wanted to try someone near my house so I found someone who had great reviews on Yelp.
She was good and really focused on breaking up the knots on my neck. I was even considering buying a massage series.
But last night, I received a promotional e-mail from her. She explained that she was trying to raise money so she can attend a lesson with her “teacher.” Hmm, alarm bells. I did some research and found out that her teacher is this woman addressed as “her holiness.” More alarm bells.
Alarm bell count:
- the masseuse signed her e-mails with “blessings” and addressed me as “dear”
- the masseuse said she would perform an energy transfer on me at the end of the session
- the masseuse appeared to pray over me at the end of the session. she had her hands raised to the sky and was mouthing words
I don’t know that I’ll go to her again. Would you go?
