Testimonials

"I used to use inhalers for asthma every other day.  However, I noticed last week that 8 days had passed before I felt the need for them. Michelle told me when I started coming for private sessions a few months ago that Jin Shin Jyutsu might help with the asthma and, obviously, it has!  Thank you Michelle Giambra for this gift!" Natalie Costa, Sarasota, FL

"Dear friends in Sarasota, you MUST experience a treatment with Michelle Ann Giambra of Suncoast Jin Shin Jyutsu. It was amazing. Her intuition is just perfect and it manifested in a great relaxation of both my body and soul. Terrific!"  Lauren Wood, Sarasota

"Michelle is a gifted soul. Her intuitive and kind spirit have made her a much sought after practitioner of Jin Shin Jyutsu. Her presence alone is calming and balancing, but it all goes to a deeper level once she begins the work. I feel beyond fortunate to have her here in my Sarasota community, as each session leaves me feeling lighter, freer, and happier." Jamie Coffey, Sarasota 

"I just wanted to let you know how different this week's session was for me. Usually after (my sessions) I find myself in a deep healing mode and need to go home and rest to let the healing continue. But this week I felt quite energized when I got up from the table, and this continued right through the day, which included teaching an evening class and yesterday, too!  I have not felt the need to lie down and rest from time to time (especially after a class), as has been the norm for a while. Today is my day off, so I'm having a nice relaxing time, doing only what I want to do :)) but I still feel energized and mentally alert! Looking forward to next week's session." S.S., Sarasota

"I had my first session with Michelle today and I'm completely blown away with the results! I have not been completely pain-free in over 4 years...until today! As she finished up, I realized I was a 0/10! I've had 5 knee surgeries in the last 3.5 years. I got off her table standing taller, walking better than I have in years! I came in with about 5/10 in my calf and 4/10 in my hip. I'm so pleased with the results and look forward to returning for more treatments! Thank you, Michelle!"   Kim Fineout, Sarasota

"I recently lost hearing in my right ear from a viral infection in my inner ear that I didn’t even know that I had. When the ENT doctor told me that the only medical treatment for me was to have steroids injected into my middle ear, with only a 10-20% chance of getting any hearing back in that ear, I immediately decided to go holistic. I had been doing Jin Shin Jyutsu on myself for the previous year and a half for muscle pain and I found that it helped tremendously and immediately. I decided to seek out a Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner to help with my ear project. Thankfully, I found Michelle. After the first session with her, my husband and I stopped into a fast food restaurant. My husband was standing on my right side, and when he ordered his food I got very excited… I could hear him in my right ear!!! Previously, everything I heard sounded like it was coming from my left side. This time it actually sounded like he was on my right side!! I could not hear anything out of my right ear, until Michelle worked on me. I got back into the car and pulled out my headphones and put the right ear bud in to double check. I could actually hear the wonderful sound of the music. It was still hard for me to make out the words that were being sung, but it was great progress and gave me wonderful hope that some day I will regain my hearing in my right ear. Not only did Michelle give me some hearing back on the first session, she was very hopeful and wonderfully supportive. She has given me instruction on how to do Jin Shin Jyutsu on myself in between my sessions with her. My hearing is slowly, but steadily getting better. She has been awesome!" Julie Marcum, Ft Myers, FL

"Dear Michelle,  Your energy is gentle and powerful. You renew and balance what is buried within. I feel a total sense of well being."  Nancy Morrell, Bradenton, FL

"...by the end of the session, my back/chest did not hurt, my neck and head were relaxed and I literally felt like I had taken a valium because I felt loosey goosey and healthy after being so tight and uncomfortable."  Kip Ortiz, Sarasota, FL

"Having experienced many different healing modalities, I thought I was pretty savvy about what to expect with Michelle and her healing touch through Jin Shin Jyutsu.  This was definitely a uniquely sacred experience.  Michelle’s attitude, intention and intuition as a practitioner permeates her expert and professional technique.  Everything about this experience allowed me to trust the process.  The room was comfortable, the gentle, almost imperceptible, sound of the ancient flute in the background, allowed me to enter into a totally relaxed, no-thought state.  There were three distinct occurrences during my session with Michelle that I shared with her afterwards and were an affirmation to her of her intuition.  Please consider gifting yourself with a session with Michelle.  Your spirit will soar with a sense of rejuvenation and possibility."  Dee Curci, Lakewood Ranch, FL 

"As a healing arts professional I am always looking for new things that may help my clients as well as myself! When Michelle told me she practiced Jin Shin Jyutsu, I was very interested in trying it and was not sure what to expect. After my treatment, I found that I was totally relaxed and had a sense of well-being. The best way to describe it is that I felt like my body was in Balance! The work is subtle, but Powerful and opens channels to allow the body to do what it needs. I slept very well that evening and awoke completely refreshed. I think this work can be of value to many in need of help in opening up the natural ability of the body to heal and balance itself!  Thank you Michelle for showing me this work!"
John A. Gantt, LMT

"While packing for vacation, I strained my lower back. Two days into the trip I could barely walk without suffering great pain. That was when I went to Michelle for a Jin Shin Jyutsu treatment. She worked on me for about an hour that morning and I really didn't know what to expect, or even if it would make a difference, but at this point I was willing to try anything. When I stood up after the treatment,there was still a little soreness in my back, but it was not nearly as bad as it was before. The rest of the day, I went sightseeing. I walked or stood almost the entire day.  As I was driving home that evening I realized that my back no longer hurt. It was amazing! I did not have any further pain for the rest of the trip. I know that it was Michelle and her Jin Shin Jyutsu treatment that made the difference (and saved my vacation!). I only wish that I lived close enough to Michelle to receive treatments from her on a regular basis."
Kim Thompson, RN

"I found Michelle's gentle and precise application of this healing art to be unexpectedly effective...I could definitely sense how powerfully she embraces and trusts her understanding and practice of Jin Shin Jyutsu."
David Deckert, M.D.

"Revitalizing is a word I associate with Jin Shin Jyutsu. During the treatment, I can feel stress lowering, my body feels quiet, and soothed."
Dona K, Retired Executive Assistant

 "Michelle introduced me to Jin Shin Jyutsu over 10 years ago. It has become an inseperable part of my life physically and spiritually. I am who I am through the healing, harmony and clarity I have found through aligning myself to the natural from within. Jin Shin Jyutsu has been an integral part of this journey. Michelle's wonderful guidance, treatments and insight have been invaluable to a life better lived. Thank you, Michelle for all you have done."
Susan Ellebruch, Artist/Owner Whirlwind Pottery

"What I look forward to when Michelle gives me a Jin Shin Jyutsu treatment is that I become aware of small bursts of relaxing energy being released throughout my body.  By the end of the treatment I feel completely relaxed, at peace, and refreshed.  Another aspect of JSJ that I like is when Michelle gives me "self help" exercises that I can do myself at home to revitalize my energy and sense of wellbeing.  I especially like the various finger holds I can use to ward off worry, fear, anger, sadness, and pretense.  Often while sitting and watching television in the evening I find myself unconsciously hooking my left hand over my right shoulder like a coat hanger and this little JSJ habit seems to release my body and mind of all pressures and concerns from my day and I can fall asleep very easily every night."
Linda B, Retiree

"I had the good fortune to be able to experience Michelle Giambra's Jin Shin Jyutsu expertise some years ago, to alleviate pain I had in my back.  Apart from the work that she did with me over a series of sessions, what has served me so well over these many years, is the self-help aspect of this work. It has allowed me to maintain a state of equanimity."
Dr. M.P., PhD

"I have to admit, I didn't think that this was going to 'work,' but halfway through the session, I felt something start to happen.  The pain in my shoulder is significantly reduced.   This morning I couldn't even put on my belt, now look at the range of motion in my arm.  This is amazing!"

"Most of my life, I was out of tune with my body.  I was not breathing freely, my feet and back ached, and I had little energy to enjoy life.  Jin Shin Jyutsu helps to lift burdens and stress and gives me a sense of renewed vitality."
