Enjoy the convenience and indulgence of a massage in your own home or hotel room. Designed to remove severe tension, deep tissue massage is a technique used to relieve both muscles and connective tissue below the surface. It helps to improve range of motion and heal injuries below the surface. Appointment times include 10-15 mins.
Opened in late spring 2017, my new studio at 67A Henry Street is a delight for body, mind and spirit. Hold tension in your shoulders, neck and back? As Ida Rolf, Founder of Rolfing/Structural Integration used to say, "Where You Feel It, Is Where It Ain't!" One of the things I've learned in my 8 years of bodywork practice is that, more often than not, the pathways to healing are often not linear.

There is something compelling about being able to put my hands on people and make them feel better. While I was formally trained at the National Holistic Institute in San Francisco in 2009, I have been giving massages my whole life. My mother tells stories of back rubs I gave at age of 7, and my college friends fondly remember study breaks with shoulder rubs and hand massages.
Trained in a wide range of bodywork modalities, I tailor each session to your particular needs, desired pace and pressure. I often include additional healing elements (aromatherapy, sound therapy, and energy work) into my sessions, as well as tailored stretches and advice. I specialize in:. Deep Tissue Massage targets the deep layers of connective tissue and muscle throughout the body.

James not only has wonderful hands and a deep knowledge of the body,
he has true empathy for his clients and our aches and pains. He communicates his knowledge freely, including suggestions of stretches for one to do between sessions. I feel extremely fortunate to have found him a number of years ago.

From Jeffrey:
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
