For as long as I can remember, I have woken up to tremendous back pain. This morning, pain free, so much so, that it put me in a wonderful mood all day. James is a very special guy as he is as much attuned to the emotions and intellect as he is to the body. I say that as someone in the know, given I am a psychologist and focus on the first two.
I am not sure how to begin thanking him for all the relief I have experienced since working with him. I so look forward to continuing our work together. I am still waiting for it to return as I am sure we still have more to do. Thank you so much, you are truly a healer.
James Girard is professional, therapeutic, and transformational. He immediately engaged me warmly and provided an intuitive touch which facilitated my deep relaxation and release of soar muscles and blocks. His expert massage skills went beyond the pressure of his hands and accessed deeper energetic, somatic blocks. James masterfully explained his technique and patiently guided me at my pace past the blocks to many positive sensations. I left with a deep sense of wholeness and rejuvenation. James is different from other massage therapists because he offers a deeper, more intuitive technique, which I believe greatly contributed to my transformational experience.
