February 2012 - I really cannot understand why it is that I have waited so long to repeat my exchange with Aquarian Touch. Since my last review he has completed several training courses and gained a lot of experience. Suffice it to say, that he has benefited from all that and has not lost his sense of sponteneity, variety, rhythm, and empathy. This man is the "real deal"; anybody who swaps with him will both have a splendid massage and also learn a lot. We had a very long swap - but we were both showing-off the variety of moves we could use effectively ! I would award six stars if I could.
August 2010 - I have had the pleasure of a generous and varied exchange of massages with Aquarian Touch. At the start, when he was carrying-out his 'ITEC-standard' massage, I was thinking "this guy is technically very comptent but there is little variety, personality, or imagination in the routine". THEN, he changed gear, relaxed, and started to do the massage that he felt would be good to do and that I would enjoy. What a change! A very wide variety of pace, pressure, depth and types of movement and even an admixture of humour and mischief - In summary a really memorable and effective massage, which was all the more impressive from a man whose first formal qualification is quite recent, and who is still working for other assessments. This guy is really good now and will quite soon be one of the very best. I certainly want to swap again and witness his further progress.
I thoroughly enjoyed swapping with banksylondon in his comfortable place in North London. He is competent, caring and very hospitable and he has a good massage table. Well worth swapping with - and he will just get better and better with more practise. Definitely recommended!
happy4massage is an excellent bodywork enthusiast. His massage is rhythmic, confident and very effective. I really enjoyed my swap with him and would hope to repeat the pleasure before too long.
Turu is the complete masseur; he has all of technique, observation, knowledge, variety, empathy, and balance in abundance. It is rare indeed to find such a versatile and effective masseur. I learned a lot from him, and thoroughly enjoyed massaging him too.
Very highly recommended to you all; I certainly want to swap massages with this man on a regular basis
Whilst on holiday I was a very willing volunteer to be a 'guinea-pig' for delfini to practice his Ayurvedic massage techniques. I really enjoyed it and am very glad that he had the the confidence to use me for practise. I want to swap with him again when the opportunity arises. This guy is already good and will only get better as he has more practise - so go on and give him lots of opportunities.
Four stars now; and more I am sure as he does more massages
Whilst visiting Central Scotland recently, I had the great pleasure of exchanging massages with Mr24 in his warm, comfortable bungalow at the foot of some lovely hills in the outskirts of the City.
A considerate and well-organised host with a good knowledge of the human body, he delivers a caring and very thorough massage which manages to be both deep and relaxing. A wide comfortable massage table in front of a wood-burning stove completes a really good ambience for an exchange.
Already good, all this man needs to become 'excellent' is more practise - I do hope that lots of you will give him the opportunities.
This man is already a really good masseur. He has all the moves from the deep and heavy to the light and energetic. Well trained in India and Thailand, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, all he has to do is gain the formal qualifications valid in the UK.
Highly recommended
I recently had the good fortune to exchange massages with lazyeye at his place near the Angel Islington. He is a talented masseur with a wonderfully relaxing rhythmic style. He can also work very deeply and powerfully without causing discomfort and is very aware of the reactions of the body he is massaging. A really nice guy, with a warm and comfortable massage room; a joy to exchange with. Highly recommended.
What a nice, warm, energetic person ORIENTAL is! He calls himself a student, but he can deliver a wonderful massage in a superb mix of 'Swedish' and traditional Thai styles. The work he performed on my feet was exceptionally thorough and deep; they are still tingling and glowing the following day! He also learns quickly, has a great respect and care for the body he is working on, and is also a joy to massage. I would like to swap with him again, soon, and have no hesitation in recommending him to any person who is sincere about swapping quality massages.
PauloNW6 is taking his studies to qualify as a massage therapist very seriously. He has all the components to perform a good masage but does not always manage to string them together flawlessly, and at times the pace is just a bit too erratic to be truly ralaxing. So, rating him as a student, I say 5-stars; If I were asssessing his as a professionsl I would have to say just 4-stars.
His table is comfortable, the room is very relaxing and he has a pleasant choice of music.
This man is well worth encouraging and whilst you aid his progress you will get a worthwhile massage too!
