As he is now in Kingston, quite close to me in Guildford, I arranged an exchange with Bryan this afternoon. It was superb; it went on and on and on until we realised that we had been swapping for almost three hours! I seemed like only moments - and it just kept on getting better. Highly recommended - his place is easy to find, parking is good, and the massage is great!
For a relatively inexperienced massage enthusiast, tinxford is a wonderfully effective masseur. He is attentive, thorough, careful, confident, and with a lovely sense of rhythm. Although he does lack a good few of the 'standard' techniques, his self-taught substitutes are good enough to make him well worth swapping with. I have suggested that he get involved in a few three-way exchanges as these always povide good opportunities to compare techniques and to learn quickly.
Well recommended now - you will both have a good exchange and will also help a true enthusiast to porgress his skills; he has the potential to be really good.
As a Bodywork Enthusiast, Tonik is well worth the assessment of 5-stars. His massage is knowledgeable, detailed, effective, and thorough. He states an ambition to be a Professional Bodyworker; to achieve a 5-star assessment at this level he will need to find a greater repitoire of massage movements and also that elusive quality of empathy/insight which so often turns a good massage into a really great one. I would expect him to achieve these qualities with more training and practise. This was a late evening exchange as Tonik had spent a long and busy day as an Olympic volunteer; perhaps neither of us was operating at the peak of our capability. Highly Recommended; because both he and you will benefit from his gain in experience
This man is a real enthusiast! He is observant of the effects of his massage, hard-working, thorough, and prepared to take as much time as it needs. I really enjoyed my exchange. With more experience (and I hope that lots of you will give him the opportunity), practise and a firmer grounding in the classical massage 'basics', saadd will readily become a very good masseur indeed. For him to learn quickly, multi-way exchanges would be useful. So, four stars now for his hard-working and caring approach - a fifth star will most likely be added when he has learned the really efficient/effective ways of performing a great massage. I want to swap with him again in a few weeks time.
heavenlyplace is one of the most enthusiastic Bodywork Enthusiasts that I have so far encountered. He has really good powers of observation and empathy which enable him to adapt and fine-tune his massage touch to produce the best effects on the lucky recipient. Lacking formal training, he probably has to work a lot harder physically than if he was able to use more of the formal techniques - but he is prepared to make this effort and the results for the receiver are most enjoyable. I would like to swap with heavenlyplace again, perhaps as part of a small group to that he can see and learn more of the efficient ways of achieving his lovely results. Highly recommended now, and he has the capacity to impriove with greater technical knowledge.
travelwander is exceptionally talented and effective for a 'bodywork student'. He is more versatile, skilled and thorough than many professionals.
This man is well worth swapping with; and I want to repeat the occasion before too long.
A well deserved 5 stars.
This man is a joy to swap with! He performs a really thorough, detailed, and deep massage which is both effective and very relaxing. Quite simply he is one of the best.
For a student part-way through his course, zera is very well-advanced in his massage capabilities and already performs an effective massage. He delivers a thorough, competent, caring treatment with both style and determination. This fit young man clearly has the capability to be a thoroughly good masseur and will improve even more with p[ractise and experience. (As indeed will all of us !!)I do hope that many of you will exchange with him. That will help him gain a well-deserved good pass in his exams, and I am sure that you will enjoy the experience.
I want to swap with him several more times as he builds-up towards his exams.
Highly Recommended as a 'student'; he has the potential to be really good as a professional masseur too, when qualified.
February 2012 - I must be mad! to have waited so long before repeating my swap with iamsam. He is an excellent masseur and really exceptional for an 'enthusiast' (I have had many worse massages from experienced professionals). He is also eager to learn more and is gaining a good knowledge of the classical massage moves which he applies with imagination, style, and great attention. Lean and fit, he receives massage so enthusiastically that he is a joy to massage too. This man just gets better and better, Very Highly Recommended.
August 2010 - iamsam is indeed an enthusiast!
He has a great sense of massage rhythm and for what the body he is working upon will really appreciate. Well organised, but also innovative, he is already good at his massage and I am confident he will get even better with more experience. Well worth swapping with.
Once again Henry was generous with his time to include me in another swap. I love his passion for massage and the obvious pleasure he has in imparting some of his wealth of knowledge to a novice like myself. I look forward to another meeting, each time I learn more and more.
Late February 2012 - For once I have fulfilled an intention to repeat an exchange without undue delay, and I am very glad I did so. This time a 3-way exchange was arranged so that I could see his marvellous massage moves as well as experience them. This man is a consummate professional and a most efffective instructor in the art of massage. Varied, thorough, knowledgeable, efective, caring ... the list of positive attributes just goes on and on. A really good person to swap with. Very Highly recommended.
Early January 2012 - DrGBear is an ideal person to swap with - relaxed, knowledgeable, effective, and appreciative. He is a very good masseur and really enjoys receiving too. The swap was arranged with a minimum of fuss, he arrived on time and we had a wonderful exchange. I want to exchange with this masseur on a regular basis
