Self & partner massage workshops

You can either attend one of my seasonal workshops, or bring me in to offer a custom one for your team or loved ones!

“Put your feet on your friends” – partner massage workshop

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

“Self-massage 101”:

You’ll learn easy ways to apply therapeutic pressure using tennis or lacrosse balls and other tools to give yourself a massage anywhere, anytime!

What we’ll cover:

  • Various weight-based self-massage techniques that deliver more impact with less effort

Here’s what some of my clients have to say…

  • I participated in the self-massage workshop using Lacrosse balls and other tools (“On the ball”). JJ’s deep knowledge, warmth and flexibility allowed us to learn various techniques as well as collaborate with one another, sharing experiences and feedback. The workshop was empowering: kudos to JJ for being a massage therapist who supports our ability to take care of our own selves! I highly recommend it!

  • I participated in the Put Your Feet On Your Friend Workshop. JJ created a safe environment, gave clear instructions and demonstrations, and taught us many useful massage techniques. It was practical and accessible. Safely using elbows, forearms, feet and knees makes it so much easier than just using hands to give a massage. I highly recommend this workshop.

  • JJ came to my workplace and facilitated an amazing experience for us all. He showed us all techniques that we are now using as part of daily routines for our bodies. I see people carrying around lacrosse balls all across the company! Thank you!
