Sollievo Massage and Bodywork, in Cambridge, is introducing a new, 90-minute massage training session for two that includes hands-on time and methods for safely and comfortably giving and receiving massages at home. “This is not training for certification or continuing education,” says co-owner Laura Barricelli. “It’s a service to help anyone learn basic skills that can be used in a nonprofessional context.”

The private training sessions are led by professional massage therapists who tailor them to the clients’ needs, interests and abilities. “People will learn basic techniques to deliver a safe and relaxing massage without causing injury to themselves or others,” says Barricelli. “Massage has so many therapeutic benefits, and this will enable trainees to make those benefits available to the people in their lives.”

Location: 2285 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge 02140. Closed Mon. To schedule a lesson or treatment, call 617-354-3082. For more information, visit Sollievo.org.
