About Garry

Inspire others by what inspires you

I can be found teaching the massage program at Dorsey College in Dearborn Michigan or the HOT ROCKS weekend at Irene's Myomassology Institute and the Hot Stone Massage class at Lakewood School of Therapeutic Massage in Port Huron, Michigan. 

So students could avoid what I went through

I became interested in teaching because of the multitude of hand and body issues early in my career. 

Limited appointment schedule at Massage Luxe

If I'm seeing a regular client or a professional athlete I still manage to teach about how amazing the human body is and what we are capable of.

"I don't know if you remember but I was about to give up on my hopes for kids due to my endometriosis. You massaged my stomach and I just want to inform you that I am 8 months pregnant with a little girl. Thank you for seeing an opportunity and believing in me. I will forever be grateful for you" C.P.

 "I just wanted to say thank you for the sciatica class that you did. It was a good class. I did a little of what we learned yesterday. Not only did the PT I was working on feel the release I felt it all release too. I'm going too see her again at the end of the week. I'm excited and curious as to how she feels today. So thank you once again!! You did a great job! Hope you have more classes our way here in PA! " K.C.  

"Wanted to thank you for your life changing treatment on my plantar fasciitis. I had met with an orthopedic doctor who had me doing many stretches, wearing a boot, etc. Those helped me minimally. After one short session with you, my condition improved 80%! A.S.

  “I enjoyed the class & used several of the techniques yesterday & patients had good initial results. I also really liked the cadaver videos that you used. So much better to see the real thing & all the layers than a flat drawing. I also really liked the way you videotaped your demos & then replayed them as we practiced. I've never seen that done before & it made practicing much easier.” J.R.

Compassionate, understanding, exceptional knowledge of the human body. His firmness but gentleness achieves tremendous results. B.P.

 I had a great experience Gary made my appointment amazing. He is definitely the best at what he does.  Y.F.
