I met with 'Sly' yesterday for an exchange and received a very relaxing, therapeutic massage. He uses techniques borrowed from Swedish, Remedial other modalities. His hand movements are smooth and flowing leaving you with a feeling you're in capable hands. Yes I did ask where 'Sly' comes from and he explained its origins so, mystery sloved! We talked a lot during and after the massage and shared some organic gree tea afterwards. He's a good conversationalist, intelligent and witty. Am also pleased he didn't cancel in the last minute as we had a Hell of an electric storm which battered the city just 15 minutes before he arrived.
When I was in Melbourne a few weeks ago I organsied a massage swap with Tradey and was real glad I did. He arrived at my hotel with mobile table in tow in the back of his ute. Tradey's a big strong fella, big personality with great hands that know how to iron out those tired and worn out limbs and joints making me feel relaxed, rejuvenated, and pleassantly relieved. His hands are strong with a firm and sure touch but also soft and and gentle when necessary so that it's a very sensual feeling as well. Tradey was good fun, interesting to talk to and I eagerly look forward to connecting with him for another swap when I visit Melbourne next time.
I had a massage swap with Stewart today and was so pleased I did. I had Lomi Lomi massage once long ago and recall it felt like a thoroughly invogorating wonderful massage different from many other traditional massages. Having Stewart working his Lomi Lomi on me I experienced once agan that great feeling I had that first time and given by someone who obviously knows what he's doing. A thorough professional and it showed. Not only were his Lomi Lomi strokes wonderfully relaxing and invigorating but they left you with a feeling of being renewed. His strokes were long and flowing, caring, warm and sensous all rolled into one so at times you almost felt like babe cradeld in mother's arms. I really look forward to the time we can connect again for another swap when he returns to Sydney. He is a very nice guy, down to earth and a good conversationalist as I found out over a cup of tea in-between our massages. I can thoroughly recommned Stewart.
I met with 'midnightmassage' last Friday night ... well, close to midnight! He is a busy and very interesting man as well a serious artist to boot. It was his earlier painting engagement which kept him from coming earlier so his nickname here is well-chosen. It suited me as I am basically a night person anyway so I received a very relaxing, satisfying and professional massage from him. His hands have a healing touch and his unassuming nature complements this leaving me wanting to extend his massage for hours. He was very good company as well as being an interesting conversationalist. A free spirit in many ways. I look forward to having another exchange with him as soon as he can make it. Midnight or any time is fine by me.
I met nzmasseur last night for an exchange and was so glad I did. Catching him on the hop between his globe-trotting engagements I finally managed to secure him to the massage table to give him a Swedish Massage. Earlier in the week I managed to put my lower back out and by the time I finished the massage the pain threshold in my back was such I didn't think I'd cope with his massage so I, reluctantly, declined the offer. However! He convinced me to let him try just a little to see how I'd cope. The massage and physical manipulation he made to my back and lower back in particular proved so effective I was only fully aware of it the following morning day when I could stand up straight without howling in pain. What an inprovement! I feel so grateful to him. He is a treasure with healing hands. And just on that effort alone I rate him with 5 stars. Hope I can catch him on his way through Australia next time and get his full treatment when, hopefully, my lower back will be back to normal.
I had a very relaxing and unhurried massage exchange with Jason0000 today. Jason is quite a muscular and strong fellow and it felt satisfying negotiating my way around some of the tense and stresssed muscles on his body. His massage was more gentler than mine which I didn't mind at all as I don't believe one needs to dig and pound muscles to obtain relief from pain and tension. Jason is a pleasant & easy going fellow who was good company and we communicated easily. I enjoyed or session very much and am eagerly looking forward to our next exchange.
Thankyou Pipajmose69 for your unrushed and easygoing manner and you are a most welcoming host,you have a sound knowledge of both swediish and shiatsu massage and combine them well to give a very satisfying thourogh massage,
Had a massage exchange with Clay4mer recently while he was visiting Australia. I was very happy we could connect on his only free day. I thoroughly enjoyed his brand of massage and would be hapy to visit him in th US for a follow up session. On top of being a good masseur he's also a very interesting person to talk to and has a work background I found fascinating. We spent time after the massage getting to know each other better. A good conversationalist and company.
Spent a week in Brisbane recently and organsied a massage swap with jules8. After his massage I felt so relaxed I kinda floated away and instead of going out partying, stayed home for the rest of the day feeling totally warm and comfortable, happy to just relax and soak up the therapetutic benefits of Jules's massage. A very nice fellow to boot, Jules is proof that you don't have to massage the patient hard in order to bring about benefits. Jules has a lighter touch so there were no OUCH moments which can sometimes happen with masseurs who can occasionally make you wince in pain as they pound you into a pulp. Love to exchange with him again when I return next time to Brisbane.
I did an exchange wiht giac and can report that I received a very thorough and therapeutic workout. He managed to locate and iron out a pinched nerve around my left shoulder (which I didn't even mention) which had been having a debilitating effect on me over a period of a few months. I am so greatful I could sing his praises all the way to Canberra (where he resides)and beyond. Can thoroughly recommend him.
I just finsihed a massage exchange with cjm59 and considering he said he'd had no formal training, his technique and flowing hand movements are very much those of a trained therapist. He's learned a lot from professionals over the years and it shows. I enjoyed his massage immensely and am truly bowled over how good it was considering his lack of formal training. He's a nice guy to boot, good conversationalist and far too modest about his ability. Looking forward to another session with him if he comes to Sydney again (he's from Melbourne).
