My massage therapist talks more and more, spoiling my relaxation

A longtime client says their therapist’s increasing chatter and questions during sessions is disrupting relaxation.

Dear Eric: I have been going to the same massage therapist for about 15 years. I first met them at a nationwide chain massage company and then followed them to a boutique massage business before they moved private services to their house.

They have the same setup at home as a traditional massage company, with all the bells and whistles, in a dedicated room. They live alone. My appointments have been at their house for about 12 years, and we obviously have gotten to know each other as somewhat friends over these years.
