About Temple

What do I believe?

I Believe that presence is the most important part of giving massage. The magic is in being completely, 100%, present with the person on the table. It is in putting all my attention into what i am feeling through my hands. I search for the warm, melting, magical feelings. I tune into them. I encourage melting to grow by staying with it and adding to it with my movements and breath. I look for these areas that are receptive and ready for attention. I also understand that some problem areas may not be receptive. That is the problem. Often this is with people’s backs or shoulders. When hardness in the body is limiting the energetic connection between massage therapist and recipient, sometimes sustained pressure is required to break that area up. Sometimes sustained pressure is required to bring that area of the body back into nervous system awareness. I am here to help people. So if deep slow pressure is actually what is needed in a specific area to help you, I will do that because I’m here to use my tools to help you. Of course, I prefer when gentle movements and technique can bring you to the same place. I am continually learning gracefulness in all things.
