Massage Modalities & Approach
Rather than asking clients to choose from a long menu of massage styles, Forma offers a single customized treatment experience. Each session is tailored to the individual, drawing from a wide range of therapeutic and restorative modalities based on your goals, preferences, and assessment.
Some clients arrive seeking relief from pain, injury, mobility restrictions, or chronic tension. Others are looking for deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, and restoration. Most benefit from a thoughtful blend of both, which is what clients can typically expect during a session with Audrey.
If you have a specific modality you enjoy or would like incorporated into your treatment, that request is always welcome. Likewise, if you prefer a more intuitive approach, Audrey will select and blend techniques to create the most effective session for your needs.
The modalities below represent Audrey’s areas of advanced training and continuing education that may be incorporated into your treatment:
