Craniosacral Therapy and tailored Remedial Massage, combined in every session, in a private studio designed to help you let go. Clinical reasoning guides every technique. Unhurried, private and entirely focused on you.
A private place without judgement. Let go, clear your mind and give your body the attention it deserves.
Deep blue walls, Moroccan lamplight, soft music and a gentle aroma. Warm in winter, cool in summer. A home-based studio with its own side entrance, bathroom and shower. One client at a time, at an unhurried pace, so you never feel rushed.
Restore your natural rhythm.
A stressed nervous system guards. Muscles brace against firm pressure, and the work becomes a battle rather than a release.
That's why every session includes Craniosacral Therapy: gentle work that settles you first, so the massage can go further.
New here? Read your first-visit guideWe talk through what's bothering you, your history and what you want from the session. I assess before I treat.
Light, still contact wherever your body is holding on, from head to feet, bringing your nervous system down out of alert.
Remedial, myofascial release, deep tissue and relaxation techniques, chosen for what your body needs that day.
There's no rush at the end. You'll have time to rest, then rise slowly, with water or herbal tea, and a quiet check-in on how you're feeling.

Hi, I'm Mathew — the person behind Tempo Bodywork, and someone who's seen firsthand what the right touch can do.
Twenty years in the corporate world took a toll — on my health, my stress levels, and the people I love. Bodywork was the thing that turned it all around for me — and that's why I do this work now: sharing what I've learned, and helping others find their way back too.
Every session draws on my training across Remedial Massage, Relaxation Massage, Craniosacral Therapy and Myofascial Release, shaped around what your body needs, not a fixed routine.
Come and experience it for yourself — let's restore your natural rhythm.
Coming for the first time? The first-visit guide walks you through everything, from arriving to heading home.
Read the first-visit guideIf you're unsure, begin with 60 minutes. It gives you a real feel for how the two therapies work together, focused on the area that troubles you most. For whole-body tension or sustained stress, 120 minutes gives us time to do it properly.
When you're stressed or in pain, your nervous system guards. Muscles brace against firm pressure, so a therapist pushes harder, and the session can end up feeling like a battle rather than a release.
Craniosacral Therapy is gentle, still work that helps your body shift into its rest-and-repair state. Once you're there, the massage that follows often meets less resistance, and tissue that would have fought back often softens more easily. When deeper work is needed, your body is usually better able to take it. That's the idea behind Tempo: a calm room, gentle work first, then skilled hands where they're needed.
We start with a conversation about what's bothering you, your health history and what you'd like from the session, and I'll look at how you move. Then comes Craniosacral Therapy, followed by massage tailored to what we found. We finish unhurried, with time to rest, rise slowly and check in on how you're feeling.
Very gentle. You lie on the table while I use light, still contact wherever your body needs it, from your head and spine to your limbs and feet. Most people feel deeply calm. Some notice warmth, tingling or small spontaneous movements, and some drift off. All of that is normal.
It's entirely your choice. Many clients undress fully, others keep their underwear on. Either way, you're draped with a towel throughout, and only the area being worked on is uncovered.
I'm registered with ATMS, so most private health funds offer a rebate on Remedial Massage. Rebates apply to the Remedial Massage portion of your session. Cover varies, so check with your fund before booking.
It depends on what you're working through. For ongoing tension or stress, a few sessions close together usually achieves more than one-offs, which is why the series of three exists. We'll talk about what suits you at the end of your first session, with no pressure to commit.
