I was fortunate to exchange with jazzy920 during my visit. He has a meticulous and comfortable massage space, and connecting prior to my arrival made it like hanging out with a friend when we finally met in person. jazzy920 applies firm pressure and integrates very long strokes in his massage. He is the real deal. Quite enjoyable, and relaxing. I hope we'll stay in touch!
Schwemm and I corresponded for several days prior to meeting when I was visiting his city. He was incredibly thoughtful, providing music, candles and other items to enhance the time together. His massage technique was great, the conversation and company made for a wonderful exchange. Hope we stay in touch and that our paths cross again.
jonboy1963 made the trek into central London and brought along delightful coconut oil to use for our exchange. we both commented how we are used to working on tables but made the best of a soft mattress. That we broke the ice by chatting online prior to our exchange made both of us feel at ease when we met. The exchange was superb - unhurried, relaxing, with firm and light pressure to get at the knots and the soft spots. jonboy1963 kept me aware of his anticipated arrival time, and was prompt and punctual. I'm looking forward to another visit to London so we can exchange again.
kingyo has a firm touch, and a caring, down to earth personality. We had spoken on the phone a few times before meeting, so I was confident we'd be comfortable exchanging. I got to go first, then we alternated places on the massage table. The afternoon passed quickly and it was so relaxing! Here's to the next one.
Paulo reached out to me about a month before my visit to London, so we had plenty of time to exchange messages and make arrangements. I traveled to his home, super easy to find - a short walk from a nearby Underground Station. The massage table was set up, the room was heated, the water bottles, clean towels, and heated almond oil were waiting. His massage certifications are framed on the wall... he worked hard to get them, and his training was evident when I had my time on the table. I was glad that I elected to work on Paulo first - he's awesome, and after the massage I received from him, I wouldn't have had the energy to do a great job in return. He vigorously and liberally spread the oil on me ("no that's not part of the massage.... i'm just getting oil on you", he said) and then systematically, slowly, and intently worked on me. I'm not sure which I enjoyed more: the brisk strokes to relieve the stiffness in my neck and shoulders or the firm pressure on my feet that felt great after a day of walking around London. He also led me through some assisted stretching exercises which felt great. A hot shower to rinse off the excess oil afterward, and the massage exchange was complete. Great conversation, awesome massage. Five stars.
