frequently asked questions

  • Temple Flow is a boutique studio with where you can design your session to a great extent with details like style, temperature, pressure, lighting, and sound.

    You can experience both relaxation and processing , depending on what is relevant to you at the time. It is a body-positive and a very calm environment with physical and emotional resonance.

    Your session is always delivered by the same person, with great care to remember and adjust to your preferences.

    The style of massage is designed as a deeply present and transformative neo-tantra experience, drawing from many massage, meditation and bodywork modalities.

  • At your first session, I will ask you about your general preferences, and any particulars about your session of the day. Please allocate an extra 30 minutes for this.

  • You are welcome to remove your clothes to your comfort level, with underwear, or naked. Your genitals will be caringly draped with a sarong. If you prefer additional draping for your chest, hair, face or anywhere else, you are welcome to just ask. If you must wear clothes, consider bringing old swimwear that you don’t mind getting oil on.

  • Absolutely! You will see a comfortable ensuite bathroom attached to the session room.
    Unless your are coming directly from home for your session, or if you are planning to receive your massage nude under the draping, I will ask you to have a shower before the start.

  • If you recently had a cough, runny nose, other cold symptoms, a sore or scratchy throat please wait at least 7 days after your symptoms have completely disappeared. If you feel unwell on the day, please text me and cancel.

  • Massage and bodywork are really calming, comforting and transformative, but these are not designed to replace formal health care.
    I recommend you to see a general practitioner, physiotherapist or a myotherapist for any musculoskeletal health needs. I do not offer HICAPS.

  • The studio has several air circulation modes, as well as temperature control and humidifiers to create a cocooning and lovely environment. The massage table is a high-load capacity, with non-porous finishing. Hot stones in use are non-porous basalt, and are regularly disinfected. Table and hard surfaces are cleaned with natural, hypoallergenic cleaning materials and air dried. All linen is washed with antibacterial detergent after each use and machine-dried.

    I get vaccinated for covid and flu each year, and have been vaccinated for other common surface transmission risks such as Hep A and MPox.

  • Drink plenty of water until the last hour and half before your session. Avoid a large meal or alcohol. Consider what you would like to get out of the session. Double check that you have a valid booking. Please arrive on time for your session.

  • Massage during pregnancy can be very soothing for you and for your baby.
    Please consider seeing a pregnancy massage specialist with an ergonomic belly massage table.

  • I accept cards or bank transfer. You are welcome to bring exact cash if you prefer to pay your remaining account after the deposit in cash. I do not keep on premises and won’t be able to give you change. The %25 deposit is not refundable, unless you are unable to come to your appointment due to illness.

  • Absolutely! If you can see a booking session on the platform, you are welcome to book it.
    BUT!
    My sessions are always 90m or longer in duration, and always delivered as a full body massage.

  • Sometimes you will only decide an hour before a session, and I totally understand!
    If you need a last minute and/or a short duration massage I recommend trying providers at Epping Plaza.
    At Temple Flow, I aim to create time, space and intention to help you get into flow state.

  • Try not to rush somewhere else. Take time and space to integrate the work, and be gentle with your body. Consider having a light meal, and drink lots of water.
