Lee worked as a massage therapist on a local team in an exciting research study called Reducing End-of-Life Symptoms with Touch (REST) with the Community Hospices of Washington DC. The study's principal investigator was Dr. Jean Kutner, MD, MSPH from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Funding was being provided through the NIH Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine as well as several other large foundations.

The research was designed to study moving touch therapy for pain relief among people with advanced cancer. Hospices all over the country participated and a total of almost 400 people received treatment.
