“There is no doubt that the sense of satisfaction that comes from creating oneself objectively in the world through manual skill gives a person a calm, peaceful and dignified character.”

Embrace the Calm
Matthew B. Crawford
All the senses, including vision, are extensions of the sense of touch; the senses are specializations of skin texture, and all sensory experiences are modes of touch and thus related to tactility. Our contact with the world occurs at the boundary line of the self, through specialized parts of the membrane that surrounds us.
Anthropologist Ashley Montagu’s view, based on medical evidence, highlights the importance of the tactile realm:
- [The skin] is our oldest and most sensitive organ, our first means of communication and our most effective protector. Even the transparent retina of our eyes has a layer of transformed skin… The ancestor of our eyes, ears, nose and mouth is touch. Touch has transformed into other senses and has differentiated; that is why touch has long been considered the “mother of the senses”.
All sensory experiences are forms of touch and are thus related to tactility. Touch is a form of feeling that integrates our experience of the world with our experience of ourselves. It is in this way that my body remembers who it is and where it is in the world.
Hello, I am Safa Baran Öcal. I am the founder of OWWN Heal and a body therapist. I completed my undergraduate education in Plastic Arts. I have always loved creating things with my hands. The concept of “Contact” is my driving force in Art and Massage. I received 163 hours of certified Deep Tissue Training from the Samuel Hahnemann Private Medical School in Berlin, Germany. In addition, I completed 48 hours of Chi Nei Tsang Internal Organ Massage Training and 520 hours of Massage Application Training.Besides massage, I am interested in photography, video and visual arts.
I believe in the healing power of massage. Therefore, if you are postponing getting massage therapy due to economic conditions, we can contact you to find solutions together.
After Portugal and the Netherlands, I continue to give massage sessions in Ankara.
