Temple Ritual Bodywork 

Your body is a temple.

Each session is a sacred ritual to honor the wisdom and unity of mind, body, and spirit.

Beyond the ordinary massage

At Temple Ritual Bodywork, massage isn’t just about sore muscles—it’s about helping your whole system slow down and reset.
Using the Esalen® approach, sessions include:

  • Long, flowing, full-body strokes
  • Gentle, unhurried pace
  • Pauses for deep rest
  • Touch that works with your body, never against it

About Me

Hi, I’m Joanna- many know me as Jo.

I believe feeling good in your body changes how you show up in the world.

My path to massage started with a fascination for the body’s natural ability to heal and find balance. When I experienced my first Esalen massage, I felt a level of peace I didn’t know was possible. That inspired me to offer the same to others.

My work is:

  • Inclusive and welcoming to all
  • Focused on safety, compassion, and presence
  • Designed to help you feel grounded, connected, and at ease

What is Esalen® Massage?

Esalen massage is known for:

  • Long, flowing strokes that connect the whole body
  • Including rocking, stretching, or gentle joint movement
  • Pressure only as the body softens- never forced
  • A pace that encourages deep relaxation and nervous system regulation

It’s more than a massage. It’s a practice in slowing down and reconnecting to yourself.

What to expect

When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into a calm, comfortable space.

  • We’ll start with a short conversation to see how you’re feeling and what you need that day

  • We’ll set an intention for your session

  • Draping is adjusted for full-body strokes while keeping you securely covered at all times

  • Sessions are always trauma-sensitive and guided by your comfort level

We’ll end with a quiet pause so you can take your time before heading back into your day.

Feel the Difference

Clients often leave feeling:

  • Calmer and more grounded

  • Lighter- physically and emotionally

  • More at home in their body

  • Deeply rested in a way they haven’t felt in years
