Not sure how long to book for? Here's a simple way to choose the session that best fits your needs and your body.

30 Minutes — Perfect for a single trouble spot when you're short on time — a stiff neck, tight shoulders, or a quick tension reset before you get on with your day. Studio only.

60 Minutes — Great for regular maintenance, easing tension in spots like the neck, shoulders, or lower back, and giving your body an effective, well-rounded reset.

90 Minutes — A wonderful middle ground, with time to work through the whole body while giving extra care to areas that need it most. If you're holding tension in more than one place or want to leave feeling deeply relaxed, this is a favourite choice.

120 Minutes — This is your chance to truly slow down. Ideal for chronic tension, high stress, or when your body needs extra attention. The pace is unhurried, the work is deeper, and the result is a fully restored, deeply relaxed you.

You may be someone who has suffered an injury or an illness, or you might just want to take some time out from your busy life to relax and de-stress. Come and see if I'm able to make you leave my studio feeling better than you did when you arrived.

Many clients find that pre-booking their next session before leaving helps maintain the release and keeps their body functioning at its best.

Recommended Frequency

• Maintenance: every 3–4 weeks

• Recovery: every 2–3 weeks, for recurring tension

• Deep Restoration: every 1–2 weeks, for chronic stress or tightness

Why Consistency Matters

• Maintains tension release and mobility

• Supports better sleep and stress reduction

• Keeps muscles and joints functioning optimally

• Promotes long-term physical and mental wellbeing

Clients who book consistently tend to see results faster — and hold onto them for longer.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on therapy that supports the body's own self-healing mechanisms — reducing pain and restoring balance throughout the body.

The body naturally compensates for stress, injury, and illness, but over time that ability can become compromised — disrupting the natural rhythm of cerebrospinal fluid and affecting nervous system function. Gentle manipulations help restore that rhythm, improving circulation and easing both physical and emotional tension.

Sessions take place on a massage table, with light touches applied to the head, spinal column, sacrum, and other key points.

Many clients experience a greater sense of calm, clarity, and presence afterwards. This safe, supportive process allows for the release of deep-seated tension and emotion held within the body.

A simple example: you trip and fall. Your body takes on physical stress from the impact, but also emotional stress from the shock to your nervous system. Instinct tells us to dust ourselves off and move on — but that stress often never gets fully processed. Over time, these small, unresolved stresses build up, like a spring winding tighter and tighter, potentially affecting the whole body, including the immune system.

Now imagine that happening, in small ways, over an entire lifetime. Craniosacral Therapy can help address a wide range of physical and emotional concerns — from chronic pain to immune-related issues — while promoting relaxation and emotional release.

The best way to know if it's right for you? Give it a try.

Upon arrival at Tempo Bodywork, you'll be welcomed into my studio, where we'll sit and have a brief chat about why you've come and what you're hoping to get from the treatment.

Once we've decided on a course of action, you're welcome to use the bathroom and shower facilities if you need to, then it's time to begin.

A note on undressing: new clients often get a little anxious at this stage — Can I leave my clothes on? What do I need to take off? Do I need to be naked? Take a breath — the level of undress is completely up to you, and you'll always be draped with towels or a sarong to preserve your modesty, no matter what you choose.

That said, I'd genuinely encourage being fully undressed if you're comfortable with it — it makes for a smoother, more effective treatment for both of us, without needing to work around clothing. You'll be draped throughout regardless, so modesty is never a concern. If you'd rather keep some clothing on, that's completely fine too — just know that being undressed isn't something to feel nervous about here.

Now that the hard part's out of the way, we can get down to business. Soft music, dimmed lighting, and diffused essential oils help set the tone for a treatment aimed at deeply relaxing you.

For Massage: unless otherwise discussed, I use massage oil and generally work your back, shoulders, neck, arms, hands, legs, and glutes — these "backside" muscles carry more tension than most people expect. If anything feels uncomfortable, just let me know — your comfort is always the priority. Time permitting, the session may finish with a face and scalp massage.

For Craniosacral Therapy: once you're on the table, I'll guide you through the treatment, and may ask you to shift position so I can work along your spinal column and sacrum. This therapy affects everyone differently — you might feel tingling, warmth, cold, emotion, or even involuntary movement. Just go with it and stay present in your body. You're in a safe space, and I'll help guide the process as your body finds its natural balance again.

Afterwards, you'll be encouraged to sit up slowly and we'll check in on how you're feeling. Bathroom and shower facilities are available again if needed, and I'll bring you some water so you can take your time getting dressed and easing back into the day — hopefully leaving feeling relaxed and ready to go.

Great question!

I hold a Diploma of Remedial Massage from the Australian Institute of Fitness, and I'm certified in Myofascial Release Bodywork through Melbourne Muscular Therapies.

I've also completed additional short courses across various massage modalities, and I'm a certified Craniosacral Therapy Practitioner through the Craniosacral Institute of Australia.

On top of that, I hold up-to-date First Aid and CPR certification.

I'm a registered member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS), which means most private health funds will provide a rebate for your session.

Bodywork is a genuine passion of mine — helping you feel better is what makes this work worthwhile. Rest assured, I'll always keep learning and bringing new techniques into my practice to serve you better.

My studio is attached to my home in the beautiful coastal suburb of Aldinga Beach — approximately an hour's drive south of the Adelaide CBD.

Once you've made an appointment, you'll be given my address along with arrival instructions. As the studio is part of my home, there's a separate side entrance you'll use to access it.

There's plenty of on-street parking, and full bathroom and shower facilities are available.

Belle (Fox Terrier/Jack Russell X) and Molly (Toy Poodle) — the resident custodians of Tempo Bodywork — will excitedly greet you on arrival. After a warm welcome, they'll leave you in peace to relax, unwind, and recharge.

Absolutely! If you can't make it to Aldinga Beach, let me bring the treatment to you.

Call me on 0404 834 771 to discuss your location and requirements. I'm often with clients, so if I don't answer, please leave a voicemail or send a text and I'll get back to you as soon as I'm free.

I'm fully self-contained — portable table, towels, music, and oils all included. All you need to provide is a clean, quiet, comfortable space with enough room for the treatment (ideally around 2m x 3m) — I'll take care of the rest.

Please note: a $50 travel fee applies to all mobile bookings within 50km of my Aldinga Beach studio. Paid parking costs may also apply if required.
