 EveryBody is a Sea of Currents


When people ask me, Gayle Temkin,  what kind of massage I do, I say:

"A good one!  What kind do you want?"


  For example, stress and pain have different qualities.

They feel choppy and move against one another as pictured.

Knowing how to quell opposing currents is a unique talent of mine. 

You'll leave feeling calm, cool, and cheerful.


Consider booking yourself in if you desire a deep restfulness and connection back to yourself. 


Like the sun to the flower, skilled nurturing touch

opens the heart and makes all things possible again.


When the weather is good, we can do the

 massage outside in one of my secret gardens.

I call what I do OceanaBodyworkTM.


 I’ve been doing massage for over thirty-three years in Illinois, Florida, North Carolina and Texas.  My Texas registration number is 920.  I am the former owner of Austin Massage Associates, and the Founding Directors for OceanaBodywork.com and the Coalition for Emotional Literacy (theCEL), which is now known as StuffHappens.org.  TheCel website is down but watch for the new website of StuffHappens.org in early 2012.


I began my massage career in 1978.  Logging thousands of hours around my table -- practicing numerous modalities -- here are some of the techniques I use:


  • Swedish
  • Esalen
  • Polarity
  • Electro-Magnetic Therapy
  • REIKI , Level III
  • Deep-Tissue
  • Trigger Point
  • Hydrotherapy
  • Gait Training
  • Reflexology
  • The SCENAR (biofeedback instrument to relieve pain)
  • Hot/Cold Stones
  • Kinetic Therapies and more


The Treatment Room is maintained as a Hallowed, Sacred Space.  There are:


  •  Candles for purity of spirit
  •  Bells for clarity of mind
  •  Special stones for grounding to the earth
  •  Feathers for the lightness of being
  •  Crystals for self-empowerment
  •   Essences, when useful, to
      • soothe the nervous system
      • clear sinuses
      • sharpen mental focus
      • enhance sensuality
      • revitalize the body

 Daily rituals clear the space
