Put your feet on your friends: partner massage workshop

Date: Saturday, November 22, 2025 at 3:30 pm

Event Status:

Put your feet on your friends:

Bring someone who is special to you & join JJ Tiziou, LMT for a partner massage workshop at The Cedar Works where you'll learn easy ways to apply therapeutic pressure with your feet (and knees, shins, forearms & elbows!) to offer sustainable care to your loved ones.

This 2hr small group workshop will offer plenty of time for individualized attention and hands-on (or rather… feet-on) practice. 

WHAT WE'LL COVER:

  • Various weight-based partner-massage techniques that deliver more impact with less effort
  • Ergonomic and alignment adjustments to find techniques that work best for you
  • Injury prevention (for both you and your partner)
  • Nuances of care and consent

WHAT YOU'LL GET:

 Techniques that will last you a lifetime that you can share with friends, family, and anyone in need of care. 

WHO TO BRING:

Bring your own partner; registration is for two participants. Bring anyone that you feel comfortable sharing therapeutic touch with. That can be a domestic partner, family member, friend or anyone you'd care to share this experience with. 

WHAT TO WEAR / BRING:

Please bring a clean pair of socks and wear comfortable clothes that you can move around in (tights, athleticwear, sweats, scrubs, etc) without lots of pokey bits (buckles, buttons etc). A water bottle is a good idea too!

ACCESSIBILITY:

Physical accessibility:

The Cedar Works is a ground-floor ADA accessible space. This workshop assumes about as much mobility as the average yoga class – we'll be spending much of the time on the floor, and many of the techniques assume the ability to climb onto a table or sit down on the floor; please get in touch if you have any accessibility concerns.

Financial accessibility:

When registering, please choose the highest rate that feels accessible to you to help me continue to be able to make my work accessible to others. If finances are a barrier, please get in touch; one discounted / scholarship registration is available. 

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

JJ Tiziou is a Licensed Massage Therapist (Lic. # MSG013959) practicing in West Philadelphia.
