I Had the opportunity to meet and trade a massage with armand , 2 days ago... I had been thinking want to say about the Exchange , but everything has been say about his Technique and Professionalism and I can tell I am 200 % agree. But there is something I have to say.... WOW ....... armand is one of those people you want to keep as a masseur partner, a great guy and a Skillet Therapist... If you have the chance to do a trade with him, go for it ! you will not be disappointed .... Can't way to have another Massage Exchange with him
armand and I exchanged massage this afternoon. He’s really great and you can tell he is quite a professional and knows how to massage. He mentioned an hour and a half massage each and that sounded good to me as we both had time and each have decades of experience in massage. It worked out great. He even went over time massaging me both sides and I was okay with that as it’s been a while since an extra long massage.
We decided to massage each other dry for the first half of our backsides and that was really great. Then from there we would use coconut oil on me and I used gel on him. Laying on the body cushion to help relax the spine was appreciated by both of us.
Overall it was a great therapeutic massage exchange by a true professional who knows his way around a body. It would be nice to exchange with armand again somewhat regularly in the future.
armand is quite simply the best of the best. He is an attentive massage therapist who understands the human body. armand is reliable, responsible and kind. I feel so much better following my massage with armand. He takes his time and he pays attention to detail. I could not expect a better quality massage than the one I received today. I look forward to exchanging with him in the near future.. If I could rate armand higher than 5 stars, I would do it without hesitation. Just a wonderful experience.
Had a wonderful exchange with armand, though he was staying in a hotel, and did not have, in his words a proper massage table. armand is a truly gifted masseuse, willing and able to share his knowledge to insure a good session for us both
armand gave me an incredible massage. His hands are very strong and his techniques are flawless. His was one of the best massages I have had in my life and I have had many. I am also a massage therapist with over 25 years experience and I was truly impressed with what I received. Nice he was in hotel room, we had to exchange on the bed which makes it more challenging experience. It was obviously not his first time at the rodeo as he made it work....really well.
He is also an awfully nice guy who will make you comfortable from the start. Do yourself a favor and exchange with armand if you have the chance.
After introducing ourselves on the site, we communicated for a short while before armando had a scheduled visit to London and met in his Hotel.
It was certainly worthwhile chatting beforehand as we were both very relaxed on agreeing to meet and finally doing so.
armando was as expected, a nice warm individual who, as his other reviews tell you, is experienced and gave me an exceptionally good massage.
We swapped half way and know my inexperience meant mine was nowhere near as accomplished as armando”s. However it was received well and we swapped again for armando to massage my front and repeating the swap.
I had a wonderful relaxed and I rushed time which I hope can be repeated when his schedule next has him returning to London.
I can wholeheartedly recommend and feel certainly that armando enjoyed our time together.
I had the PLEASURE of exchanging with armand today. I mean that literally - what a great exchange. He is a pleasant person, charming, a good conversationalist and he gave me an EXCELLENT massage. One of the best massages I've ever experienced. We spoke of trading in the future and I certainly hope that we are able to do so. This was a last minute situation and I am thrilled that I was able to change my plans to accommodate our sessions. If you have the opportunity to trade with armand - by all means do it.
A few days ago, I had an exchange with armand. After some scheduling issues, we had an amazing relaxing exchange. He is the pro, I am the amateur, however, he was complimentary of my massage. I appreciated the fact he was not critical even though he obviously had professional training and much more experience. His massage was so relaxing with smooth, yet firm movements. I nearly dozed off several times.
armand is a gentleman. Very polite and considerate, well groomed and professional. The massage I received from him was among the best I have had. I look forward to future, hopefully regular, exchanges with armand. I highly recommend him.
With short notice, armand and I were able to arrange a massage exchange at his hotel in DFW last weekend. Although we had not had the benefit of exchanging conversations leading up to the session, I must start this review by saying that the moment I laid eyes on armand, I felt like I was reconnecting with an old friend. Because of the short notice, neither of us had much time to gather supplies, but we made do with what we had. With armand’s looks and personality, the scene could just have easily been a high-end spa on the Mediterranean coast. Within minutes of armand’s first touch, I had the confidence that I was in the hands of an experience and gifted masseur. He offers such a wide variety of strokes and techniques, that it was easy to stay engaged throughout the session. You know you’ve had an amazing session when it comes to an end and you just can’t believe the time went by so fast. I hope to exchange with armand again soon. Y.T.B.* armand !
Yesterday I had the very great pleasure of inviting armand into my home, having flown in from Miami that morning to swap with me!!! armand is a delightful relaxed guy who works as a professional masseur in the USA. We chatted at first then connected with each other using touch and other non-verbal cues. When he massage me his consistent firm pressure combined with the variety of strokes he used transported to a very tranquil place and at times I found myself coming to from a period of sleep. This left me very relaxed indeed and very satisfied. When it came to me massaging him he said that he enjoyed my massage a lot. I must say that I think he had the edge on me. We got on very well and have already agreed to meet up again when he is in the UK. Thank you armand for a very enjoyable four hours of massage exchange!!
armand is very good at massage. Just the right amount of depth in massage. He understands the body and is very intuitive. Nice person that is easy to get along with. He cares about giving a good massage and I enjoy trading massage with him and look forward to exchanging massage with him again.
Wonderful first massage exchange experience with armand! armand was the first person from massage exchange I ever met. Our first meeting was my offering him a massage, which was a very enjoyable experience for me. Our second meeting was armand offering me a massage. To start, armand is a very personable, kind and friendly person. As a masseur, he is very attentive, tactile and skilled. He has wonderful technique. The whole experience was beyond my expectations and I look forward to another experience soon. Thanks again, armand!

armando and I had a second massage swap and it was five star all the way. He was professional, very nice, knew massage work very well and really relieved stress and relaxed me through questions, meeting my concerns and superb technique. I went into the zone about five minutes into the session and drifted away from tension and stress. Looking forward to our next swap.
Meeting with armand was a wonderful experience which I will long remember. We had an excellent conversation right away and armand's relaxed manner put me at ease immediately. His kindness, caring heart, and inner spirituality was reflected in his touch and I felt good then and several days later. I loved the atmosphere he provided in the room and the time simply flew by in each relaxing, non rushed moment. If you want total bliss, I would recommend armand very highly.
I was fortunate enough to land an exchange with armand! True to all the reviews, this guy is a "5". Not only were all the areas covered, they were done with such artistry, finishing each stroke with feeling as though he was creating music as he worked! I have the greatest admiration for him as a person, and the passion he so clearly has, in doing the BEST bodywork! If you ever get the chance to exchange with him, GO FOR IT, you're in for a great session.

armand is simply one of the best massage experiences i have had to date.
He is a very kind and gentle soul. I enjoyed our conversation and his massage was very relaxing. I had a very stiff neck and when he was thru my neck and back was so relaxed. He certainly knows his profession very well. You can tell that he really likes what he does and the way he uses his hands in kneeling the stiffness out of the muscles is truly God gifted . He is someone that has a caring heart for what they do for other people. Would most assuredly recommend him to others. I will definitely want to see him again.
l met armand at his hotel today after exchanging a few e mails,while his stay in london from America.
We had a chat before our session and the whole session lasted well over 5 hours.He does a great job and knows what he is doing as he is qualified. He used long effleurage strokes.He does very good kneading and wringing of the quads.l like the Thumb friction around the patella.He does very good knuckling across chest to axillas and bilateral deep thumb stroking around deltoids and the back of neck.l learnt a few strokes from armando. i also liked Palmar knead the back of spine to the shoulders and the butterfly sequence.He also does very good hacking and cupping followed by wringling of the gastrocnemius.Head massage was brilliant ,l felt asleep for over one hour,was very relaxed. we are definately meeting again very soon on his trip back from Miami to London.
Thanks armando
Definately 5 star
armand does an amazing massage! He was on time, communicated well, and was very friendly and professional. His massage was strong and firm and he found and worked out my knots. He modified his strength in areas where i needed a less firm approach. He is the real deal! He is all about giving a great massage.
I would have to agree with all reviews given on armando, he does know his craft. Gentle in nature, he takes his time to insure when he is finished, you are fully and completed relaxed. The time spent between our exchanges just flew by though it was over 3 hrs. It is too bad that he's not local, I would not mind been spoiled by his hands at least once a month of not like every day! Thanks you armando.
PS. Look forward to your next visit, hopefully what will be close to the start of 2017..
I brought my table to his hotel suite in Las Vegas. Before we started the exchanged he shared his work history. He gives a very relaxing massage. He doesn't talk during the massage which I appreciated except to ask about the pressure. I hope to have another exchange.
Kudos to armand for a great exchange. He was very professional in the way he kept me posted about his upcoming travel schedule, and helped rearrange the room so that my portion of the exchange could be done on a mat on the floor. As a receiver, he gave frequent feedback, and as a giver, he was very patient and taught me a few variations on moves that I plan to incorporate in the future. Very personable too. I hope to exchange with him again in the future.
I am a massage therapist and have had many massages over the years and must say the armand is one of the better folks in the field. I felt very comfortable. He worked his magic touch to address many issues I have.
Fantastic massage from a kind, good looking gentleman. Perfect pressure , slow, calm, and not rushed. Just what I needed. I'm looking forward to trading again soon!

Had a very, very pleasant professional massage. He was very generous and gracious. He starts with a light touch to sensitize the skin, then more thoroughly massages all the muscle groups ending with another light touch. I was in an altered state of consciousness generally throughout the session. He is every bit as excellent as the rest of the reviews say. I can highly recommend him.
armando is an extraordinarily gifted masseur. His massage was like one ongoing harmonic note of pleasure and connection. A long and richly generous massage unlike anything I've ever experienced. His massage made me feel like a young child again----innocent, happy and delighted with myself.
This fellow is everything you could ask for in a massage partner----kind-hearted, trustworthy and unusually generous. Believe me, this guy is a winner.

What a great massage! Felt totaly relaxed with every knot worked out of my neck, back and legs. A remarkably gifted man with a wonderful personality to match his talented hands. Looking forward to our next exchange.
This guy is a diamond in the ruff massage therapist! Incredible touch, technique, hands, strokes - he is an artist when it comes to human touch - therapeutic to sensual. He has a fabulous personality and professional demeanor that makes me just simply want more and more of what he has to offer - one of the best massages I've ever had! We exchanged massages actually as I also do massage / body work, but I never seem to get enough (hardly any) table time myself in terms of receiving massages. One of the best compliments I could say about armand is that I was constantly intuitively trying to grasp his technique in my minds eye so I could learn from his techniques - it was total bliss from start to finish. Can't wait to get our schedules together again and in the mean time if I can't take appointments I would happily refer clients his way knowing they would be in fabulous hands! Don't hesitate to call him as your body will thank you!!!
Hey guys !!
I want you to know armand is a very talented therapist, very caring, meticulous, empathetic in his art.
I am looking forward to trading with him again.
He is absolutely highly recomendable.

armand is an incredibly well-trained clinician with great technique! He is also very personable, friendly and most willing to share his skills with those of us who are less- trained! I learned a number of new techniques from him which I will certainly utilize in future exchanges. He provided a wonderful session which gave me relief from a recent neck injury. I am certainly would enjoy another exchange with him at any time!
Excellant,thorough and smoth strokes.Great pressure.Shared his knowleage, as well as gave advise that was very comforting and well given.Very proffesional.The massage relaxed me enough to does off. I look forward exchanging with you again. Please look me up when in town. I highly recomend to all.
armand gives a very good massage. One of the best I have had in awhile. I only wished I lived closer to Fort Lauderdale,FL so we could exchange more often. He is very professional and I hope to exchange with him when he visits my area again.
Armond was great. Very profssional and just the right touch. He is very in-tune to your needs and I actually was a little dizzy after a most relaxing massage. I hope we learned something from each other. I would exchange with him again. It was great that he had his own table and that he was able to travel to my place. I hope he enjoyed the exchange as much as I did.
Thanks.
armand provided an incredible massage, truly the best I have ever had. He showed an interest in knowing what my needs and preferences were. He genuinely wanted to provide me with a top-notch massage. His hands were very soft and his touch left me mesmorized several times. You will have to expereince one yourself to understand what I mean by this statement.
The massage was better than many "professional" ones I've paid for. He took his time, hitting areas I did not even realize I was tight in. I learned a lot about massage from the one he gave me. I'm looking forward to working with him again.
