- Because every single human body is sacred and deserving of care.
- Because our spirit/mind is inextricably entwined with this meat/flesh that we are made of.
- Because our bodies are asked to carry so much, and are given so few opportunities to be supported.
- Because our world has so many screens and so many chairs, and we were not made for this.
- Because there are so many crises ( & urgencies, worries about the future, attachments to the past, etc) and massage is an opportunity to slow down & just focus on what’s going on right here, right now.
- Because, if the simple fact that it feels good weren’t enough, (which it is…) massage might help provide space for healing and transformation.
Background

Hi.
My name’s JJ Tiziou.
I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist based in West Philly. (LMT# MSG013959)
I came to massage via a circuitous route that meandered through coffeeshops and biochemistry labs, photojournalism and activism, a wedding photography career and a public art practice.
