Understanding the Modality & Foundations

Every individual has unique somatic preferences. Some people find firm pressure deeply satisfying, while others find it jarring; some love the warm feel of botanical oils, while others prefer to stay clothed and non-greasy.

By honestly assessing your physical preferences, you can ensure that every minute of your treatment feels tailored to your lifestyle.

How It Works: Physiological & Muscular Rationale

Matching touch modalities to nervous system thresholds optimizes the release of tension and avoids protective physical resistance.
