guyinva Recommended
Arlington, Virginia, United States of America
I have recently had the pleasure of an exchange with guyinva that he hosted in his home. He provided a spotless, comfortable and warm environment with such great hospitality. He may not be professionally trained, but his strokes are pretty firm and intentional. He doesn't rush when he gives massage and lets his touch sink in. You can easily tell he takes his sessions seriously by how much attention and care he pays for the comfort of his partners. He is observant and respectful, and has a great potential to improve immensely in a short time with more practice. I recommend him to any prospective partner without hesitation. Thank you, guyinva.

spaguy Highly Recommended
Winter Garden, Florida, United States
I have exchanged with spaguy a few times already, and enjoyed every one of our sessions. He always greets me in such a high and friendly spirit. When he hosts, he makes sure there is plenty of water and healthy snacks. He has big strong hands which he can use to untie stubborn knots with ease. The same hands can deliver amazingly soft, relaxing touches. Although he may lack the experience to offer a methodical massage, he asks questions, often checks in with me, and is open to suggestions. His receptive attitude is always there to help him improve his style. Indeed, having exchanged with a therapist earlier, he was skillfully applying some complex strokes and stretches on me the last time we traded. Spaexp is all around a very nice guy whom I can recommend highly to any massage enthusiast.

HandsExchange2 Highly Recommended
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
I have traded massage with HandsExchange2 several times now. We started when he was still a student; now he is a fully licensed and certified professional therapist. I remember our very first exchange clearly when I was totally blissed out on the table, interrupted by thoughts of how in the world am I going to reciprocate this high level of professionalism, care and skill. I would soon find out the fine art of massage was hidden not necessarily in the well-rehearsed techniques and brute force, but rather in full presence, and an ever-flowing, subtle, organic series of moves that only a body relaxed enough to receive them can detect. His unique ability to connect is what provides the opening to receive. HandsExchange2 will always greet you at his doorstep with a big, welcoming smile. As you step in, you can be sure you will be offered a kind, courteous, and top-notch treatment all along. I have picked up more useful tips and manners from him than I can count. The way he shares his knowledge is a reflection of his gentle soul. I am happy to have him as one of my regular massage buddies and recommend him highly to anyone ready for a treat in bodywork.

tennisplayer Highly Recommended
Laytonsville, Maryland, United States
I have exchanged with tennisplayer multiple times and every time was a treat to my body. He has a wonderful blend of Swedish and deep tissue, and his touch can be as soft or as firm as his partner needs. He will not let go of a knot until it is entirely released to his satisfaction. His massage room receives lots of sunlight, is always clean and abundantly spacious - the envy of any professional therapist. He carries an entire line of massage supplies from lotions to linens. He is not only kind and hospitable but also very down-to-earth making you feel welcome from the first moment on. If you haven't discovered him yet, do so now. Highly recommended.

MD21104 Highly Recommended
Ellicott City, Maryland, United States
MD21104 is a serious and dedicated therapist with impeccable qualities of both professionalism and amicability. From our very first mail on, he was courteous, responsive and accommodating. He is keen on treating his exchange partners just like his paying clients. So expect to be offered utmost respect, a perfectly clean room, soothing music and professional draping. I received a unique blend of massage modalities, that was both relaxing and therapeutic. He was kind enough to share some of his knowledge and skills with such genuine enthusiasm. He showed me a few useful deep tissue techniques, which then I practiced employing on his lats, traps, rhomboids and pecs. When guiding through the massage, his suggestions were as gentle and encouraging as his personality is. A great addition to our community, he is highly recommended to any other serious bodyworker, who is passionate about sharing the riches of massage.

CoolWaters Highly Recommended
Washington, District of Columbia, United States of America
Unless you have a massage trade with CoolWaters yourself, you won't understand exactly why he has so many stellar reviews. Absolutely fantastic would be an understatement for my review. From the moment he greeted me at the door to the moment he waved goodbye, he was courteous, friendly and caring. His manners alone are enough to make you relieve your knots even before he lays his hands on you. I started out lying on my back. He pulled and stretched every limb in a most intriguing combination. Ahhh... did it feel good! Indeed I could not stop groaning in pleasure throughout the massage. With the perfect amount of pressure and time, he worked so diligently on my joints and muscle groups. He was even kind enough to explain certain strokes upon my inquiry. I got up from his table with reluctance and renewed vibrancy! His massage room is spacious, spotless and peaceful. I cannot recommend CoolWaters highly enough for any serious bodyworker. A heart-felt "thank you" to my new friend!
