M & Ray hosted the session in their comfortable home to the north of Manchester. They were very welcoming, inspite of me being a bit late, after getting lost quite near their home. Previously, I had cancelled a swap at short notice, due to a stomach upset but we communicated well to quickly set up this second session.
Initially, I worked on M who has been used to receiving regular massage. She seemed to relax & enjoy the massage which I felt flowed well. Ray joined me to give her a further 20 minutes or so of 4-handed massage & this seemed quite powerful. After a short break M worked on me. She has a nice touch & the strokes flowed well. I found the process very relaxing & well worth repeating. I highly recommend swapping a session with them. |

We connected through the site, exchanged several emails & decided to swap a session, which I hosted in Leeds. There was a 3 week lead-up to this as we are both quite busy. M does not drive & has several health issues, so I was very impressed when he arrive in Leeds in good time, as arranged.
We spent a pleasant afternoon swapping a session each way, as well as insights on massage & healing related issues. M first spent 2 hours on me, working deeply & effectively. I really appreciated being the client, rather than the therapist! His approach was more systematic, with a different sequence to mine. I tend to work more wholebody/ intuitively. I was pleased to notice & later hear, that he was able to reach places that he had not been for awhile when I worked on him! A great experience, worth repeating, highly recommended. I am not entirely sure how the rating system is intended to work but I am giving him 5*****s! |

M contacted me a couple of days before he was due to be in my area. I agreed to host, rescheduled several things & gave out my location with further contact details. He did not arrive nor contact me again. I have emailed through the site several times, without response. The site shows he has logged on & opened the emails.
In response to M's comments on my initial review - I do not have regular use of a mobile & did not give a mobile number. It was a landline & does not receive text messages. This was stated in my email through the site. I did not receive a message. There are 2 photographs in my "private" gallery one is less than a year old. The other is a lot older but many people cannot decide which is which. I have 10 or more positive reviews on the site & have succesfully swapped more than this number of massages, so the personal comments are unwarranted. I did email M several times, with no response, before I left the feedback. I rest my case. |

| I did contact zenM and agreed to meet, however he then sent me 2 photos, which were plainly "out of date", his age was obviously very different to what he said. I then texted the Mobile number he gave to say i could not make it.
If he gave me the incorrect mobile, then thats his fault. I would stay away from him in the future. IN RESPONSE TO zenM's falsehoods i could put the mobile number he gave me on here! At least he agrees one photo is so old he is still wearing school uniform! I did not respond initially due to his lies, however i really cant be bothered and have blocked him now. |

MT travels quite a lot with his work & this brought him to Leeds (UK!). We managed to connect through the updates on the site & " who has looked at your profile recently" section. We were able to set up an exchange at short notice. MT hosting at his hotel, while I provided a portable table & oil.
The session went well. We were able to trade a few insights & give each other a good massage. The session I received was firm & thorough, yet relaxing. MT admitted that giving a massage is probably his favourite form of exercise! We plan to exchange again, as his travel schedule permits. Highly recommended |

Joe is a new member, relatively local to me. I sent a "welcome email" & we were actually able to set a swap up for the next day. Our diaries were fairly full after that!
Joe has received many massages but I think he was able to experience a few new aspects, reaching a deep state of relaxed energy flow. At the same time he was keen to share information on the experience. He claims to be a novice at giving massage but he was able to help me relax quite deeply & rapidly. I look forward to further sessions as his as his repertoire & experience expand. We were able to chat quite freely & time seemed to have flown by. |

I made contact with SD shortly qfter he joined the site. Even though we live quite near each other it took a month or so to arrange a swap.
The afternoon went well. SD has received received more sessions than he has given but is keen to build up his skill set. He definitely enjoys receiving massage & has learnt a lot from this experience. I enjoyed being massaged, he was good to work with & open to encouraging suggestions. What a way to learn! I am giving him 4*s, leaving some scope for further development! I think that we will exchange again when we can arrange it. |

We were able to set up a swap quite soon after connecting through the site. I hosted in Leeds & left DrP with the driving. We had a lot of common interests so there was much discussion before we got to the actual massage.
I received first. I found his massage gentle yet powerful, giving me some useful insights, deep relaxation & whole body release. I rate the session as 5*plus! I am looking forward to a further exchange & recommend swapping a session if you can arrange it. When we swapped I was able to work in new ways & DrP appeared to have some great energy shifts. |

| It took a little effort to coordinate diaries but Drew managed to fit in a swap session during a business trip to Yorkshire. A great session, he is keen on & interested in, many aspects of massage & related healing techniques. I found him sensitive & he gives a good massage. On reflection I am giving him 5*s. He is keen to further his skills & techniques, so I am voluntering for further sessions! | |

It was good to meet "C", who drove from Nelson & arrived promptly, for the swap which I hosted in Leeds. We got on well with a great exchange of insights & ideas before getting to the actual massage. I enjoyed both giving & receiving. The massage I received was good & very professional. I was able to experience a cupping technique on my left knee, which certainly shifted something!
When giving the session I focussed on his back, which has been a long standing problem. There was a recognised incident for the origin & this was discussed. I was tempted to use positive EFT, a modern energy technique but stayed with massage! I was very pleased to hear that at the end of the session the discomfort had gone. I think that the intent helped focus the energy on the area needing to release the old trauma & attached emotion. I would enjoy further swaps when we can find the time to travel. |
