Why massage?
“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.”
JJ Tizou is a massage therapist and artist based in Philadelphia, PA. In his words: “At its heart, all of my work is about paying attention—looking & listening, noticing the beauty that is already present in the community and shining a light on it. I strive to create safe spaces and compelling frameworks to bring people in and to facilitate new connections.”
