katasta visited me yesterday for our arranged massage swap. A very pleasant and warm gentleman, we spent a few minutes getting to know one another better. He was somewhat apologetic that he didn’t have formal training in massage informing me that he picked up tips from the many massages he’d had in the past. Well, he needn’t have been apologetic at all. He's far too modest about his own ability. He delivered a most professional and totally satisfying massage, with long effleurage strokes, some body rubs and Shiatsu moves thrown in for good measure. A bit like what I do! It was a very enjoyable therapeutic and sensual experience. A good conversationalist to boot. That fact that he has a very well-chiseled physique increased the massage pleasure too. I look forward to our next swap.
I met jonnyk on his visit to Sydney a couple of days ago and was so glad I did. We had an enjoyable chat and drink beforehand to get to know each other a bit and then spent the next 3+ hours in an unhurried and thoroughly enjoyable massage swap. He was modest about his massage ability, not having had any formal training, but he learned a lot from the many massages he's had and was able to apply those techniques in a convincing and thoroughly enjoyable way. He has a firm touch which I liked and came across as very confident and professional in what he was doing. He needn't be modest, he was extremely good and a thoroughly enjoyable fellow to chat with. Hope to run into him again.
TB125 is studying for his Cert IV in Massage at TAFE so I agreed to be his practice body and to give him some honest feedback, at his request, seeing that I’m a certified masseur from decades ago. TB125 was punctual and a very polite and gentle soul. His massage technique was pretty much flawless and there was really nothing that I felt he needed correcting in. And afterwards instead of feeling like I’d being pummeled and beaten into submission (with some masseurs!) I felt totally relaxed, refreshed and NOT in pain afterwards. No small accomplishment. I feel pretty sure that he will pass his exams with flying colours so you’d better get him here before he turns professional and starts charging people. I'd be more than happy to have a return massage from him if he so wishes. He'll be 5-star rating for sure when he graduates.
I just finished a massage swap with cich and was pleasantly surprised how good he was, considering he states in his profile that he has "little experience in this field". He is far better than he thinks and having him working on me and unknotting different areas of my body, it truly felt that I was in the hands of a professional masseur. He was good company, punctual and interesting to chat with before and after the session. I would gladly see him again for another exchange.
I met up with IT37 yesterday for a swap and was so glad I did. He's a pleasant, intelligent and very fit fella being a personal trainer as well as fully qualified masseur. His massage room is well laid out with adjustable mood lighting and soft relaxing music. As I spend most of my time massaging people from this site I was very happy that I was now to be massaged in return. His expert hands found out all the knots that were plaguing me and unknotted them in my neck, shoulders, hips and back. He has a very firm, strong and sensual touch which made me feel totally renewed and invigorated afterwards. I slept like a baby that evening! He is a very busy fella so get in quick.
RM20 kindly offered to pick me up from the tube station on a drizzly & cold day as I’m from Australia and might have got lost. He is a very pleasant fellow and gave me a sports massage with some deep tissue work as well. I sure needed it as I felt reborn afterwards. Clearly the best massage I‘ve received from anyone on this site. Can thoroughly concur with all the other positive comments about this man and can thoroughly recommend him.
bodybliss arrived and we chatted amiably before he launched into the massage. He is a very fit man and his strokes were firm, powerful and assured, making me feel I was in the hands of a seasoned professional. I surrendered completely under his hands as everything felt so good. I wanted it to last a lot longer than the time we had. Easily the best combination of therapeutic and sensual massage I ever had on this site. Bodyliss rocks!
The young man who presented himself punctually as arranged has a friendly and charming personality. He even brought a mini sound system to play massage music in case I didn't have any. Cute! Although not formally trained he did pick up many techniques from massages he received throughout Asia so what I received from him was in fact a very enjoyable melange of massage styles which included effleurage strokes with some aspects of Lomi Lomi and shiatsu thrown in. A very enjoyable, sensual and relaxing massage. I can thoroughly recommend him.
For someone who had no formal training in massage Frans0817 comes across very confident in what he does. After receiving his very enjoyable massage, I have to agree. His attitude is professional as is the way he uses his hands and the rest of his limbs. He's certainly picked up many movements used by trained therapists, including this writer! I advised him to retain his massage and not spoil it by completing an accredited massage course, unless of course, he wishes to do it for a living.
I did a very enjoyable exchange with Megamac yesterday. He's a very keen massage therapist-in-the-making as he's just starting out in this field and keen to learn from others with more experience. We exchanged quite a few technique tips. It's very easy just to surrender to his touch and be transported to that other level of rest and relaxation. He is also a very pleasant fellow and busy student so time is at a premium with him. I look forward to our next exchange. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
Jasper's a warm and pleasant guy with a great massage technique. No complaints whatsoever. We exchanged massages recently and I eagerly look forward to our next swap. I can thoroughly recommend him.
I had an exchange with Robert only a few days ago and can honestly say it was the best, most vigorous massage I received in a long while. Rob located many points of tension on my body, which I wasn't even aware I had, and by he time he ironed them out I couldn't believe how good and deeply relaxed I felt afterwards. I'm sure I floated off the massage table like a feather. I was a new man! Rob practices massage therapy professionally and I would gladly pay for his services. He is also a pleasant fellow and good to chat with. I recommend him highly.
I had a pleasant drive to Blackheath a few weeks ago for an exchange with Nick who's a practicing therapist up there. I can only say the Blue Mountains should be grateful to have such a professional person in their vicinity as I hear that massage therapists are short on the ground there. Nick gave me a very satisfying, relaxing and unrushed massage after which he kindly offered me lunch, which I gladly accepted gladly. He's pleasant company and good to chat with. Nick also built his fabulous timber house which overlooks a canopy of green. It's the kind of house most of us, I'm sure, would be busting to own in the mountains. Am eagerly looking forward to another exchange with Nick. Highly recommended.
Two days ago I organised an exchange with kenchyking who gave me the most relaxing, feel good and sensual massage I ever had in all my time on this site, around 2 and a half years. I was blown over by his touch, sensitivity and innate sense of technique, especially since he says he has no formal massage training and only picked up hints from other masseurs. I advised him seriously to retain what he is doing should he decide to study Swedish, Remedial or any other massage modality. He is a natural talent! On top of this kenchyking is a very pleasant guy and easy to talk to. I would thoroughly recommend him.
I organised an exchange with Mrbuzz yesterday and was so glad I did. Most of my massages via this website have been RECEIVE-ONLY as the people I work on have either no massage experience nor formal qualification and I am always the one to host as 90% of my 'bodies' either can't host or don't have a massage table. So imagine my delight when I met with Mrbuzz who not only can give a great massage but can host! I was beside myself with glee.
Mr B.. is a warm and charming host, solidly build whose firm and determined effleurage strokes quickly reassured me that he knew what he was doing and I immediately let myself be transported to that other realm of relaxation and bliss that only a trained masseur can provide. His massage room was warm and comfortable with effective low lighting and soft music providing the finishing touches to a perfect exchange. A shower was on offer if one feels the need to wash off any excess oil after the session. Thoroughly recommended.
I had the pleasure of meeting Massagaholic7 during his current visit to Australia. Considering where he had to come from by public transport he was amazingly punctual. Thank you! Being a keen tennis player, Massagaholic has s great physique to massage. He worked on me after my massage and gave me a relaxing 90min plus workout with a mixture of Swedish, accupressure and remedial techniques. I felt totally relaxed and invigorated afterwards. A cup of tea and very interesting chat followed as I discovered an intelligent person with a caring streak for humanity. As well as a sense of humour. I certainly look forward to another session should he visit Australia again. Can thoroughly recommend him.
I had a very satisfying exchange with shak yesterday. He was punctual and a friendly personality when he walked through the door. We spen a few minutes acquainting ourselves and also discussing our various massage experience. shak's picked up his massage knowledge down the family line, a decidedly therapeutic and socailly conscious element of his country's heritage. When he worked on me I felt a pair of strong hands who knew exactly what they were doing and where to press hard to relieve the knots. Deep tissue +! His attitude was professional and thorough. I look forward very much to our next exchange and have no hesitation in recommend him.
I organised a swap with Steve a couple of nights ago. He was punctual, friendly with a pleasant personality which I took to immedaitely. He gave me a very enjoyable and sensual massage with light effleurage strokes and gentle manipulation of muscle, fascia and glutes, from the feet up to the shoulders. No panifull deep-tissue workout here, just pleasant and enjoyable. I felt very warm and content. We then chatted a little afterwards and got to know each other a little. I look forward to our next exchange.
I met with 'Sly' yesterday for an exchange and received a very relaxing, therapeutic massage. He uses techniques borrowed from Swedish, Remedial other modalities. His hand movements are smooth and flowing leaving you with a feeling you're in capable hands. Yes I did ask where 'Sly' comes from and he explained its origins so, mystery sloved! We talked a lot during and after the massage and shared some organic gree tea afterwards. He's a good conversationalist, intelligent and witty. Am also pleased he didn't cancel in the last minute as we had a Hell of an electric storm which battered the city just 15 minutes before he arrived.
When I was in Melbourne a few weeks ago I organsied a massage swap with Tradey and was real glad I did. He arrived at my hotel with mobile table in tow in the back of his ute. Tradey's a big strong fella, big personality with great hands that know how to iron out those tired and worn out limbs and joints making me feel relaxed, rejuvenated, and pleassantly relieved. His hands are strong with a firm and sure touch but also soft and and gentle when necessary so that it's a very sensual feeling as well. Tradey was good fun, interesting to talk to and I eagerly look forward to connecting with him for another swap when I visit Melbourne next time.
I had a massage swap with Stewart today and was so pleased I did. I had Lomi Lomi massage once long ago and recall it felt like a thoroughly invogorating wonderful massage different from many other traditional massages. Having Stewart working his Lomi Lomi on me I experienced once agan that great feeling I had that first time and given by someone who obviously knows what he's doing. A thorough professional and it showed. Not only were his Lomi Lomi strokes wonderfully relaxing and invigorating but they left you with a feeling of being renewed. His strokes were long and flowing, caring, warm and sensous all rolled into one so at times you almost felt like babe cradeld in mother's arms. I really look forward to the time we can connect again for another swap when he returns to Sydney. He is a very nice guy, down to earth and a good conversationalist as I found out over a cup of tea in-between our massages. I can thoroughly recommned Stewart.
I met with 'midnightmassage' last Friday night ... well, close to midnight! He is a busy and very interesting man as well a serious artist to boot. It was his earlier painting engagement which kept him from coming earlier so his nickname here is well-chosen. It suited me as I am basically a night person anyway so I received a very relaxing, satisfying and professional massage from him. His hands have a healing touch and his unassuming nature complements this leaving me wanting to extend his massage for hours. He was very good company as well as being an interesting conversationalist. A free spirit in many ways. I look forward to having another exchange with him as soon as he can make it. Midnight or any time is fine by me.
I met nzmasseur last night for an exchange and was so glad I did. Catching him on the hop between his globe-trotting engagements I finally managed to secure him to the massage table to give him a Swedish Massage. Earlier in the week I managed to put my lower back out and by the time I finished the massage the pain threshold in my back was such I didn't think I'd cope with his massage so I, reluctantly, declined the offer. However! He convinced me to let him try just a little to see how I'd cope. The massage and physical manipulation he made to my back and lower back in particular proved so effective I was only fully aware of it the following morning day when I could stand up straight without howling in pain. What an inprovement! I feel so grateful to him. He is a treasure with healing hands. And just on that effort alone I rate him with 5 stars. Hope I can catch him on his way through Australia next time and get his full treatment when, hopefully, my lower back will be back to normal.
I had a very relaxing and unhurried massage exchange with Jason0000 today. Jason is quite a muscular and strong fellow and it felt satisfying negotiating my way around some of the tense and stresssed muscles on his body. His massage was more gentler than mine which I didn't mind at all as I don't believe one needs to dig and pound muscles to obtain relief from pain and tension. Jason is a pleasant & easy going fellow who was good company and we communicated easily. I enjoyed or session very much and am eagerly looking forward to our next exchange.
Thankyou Pipajmose69 for your unrushed and easygoing manner and you are a most welcoming host,you have a sound knowledge of both swediish and shiatsu massage and combine them well to give a very satisfying thourogh massage,
Had a massage exchange with Clay4mer recently while he was visiting Australia. I was very happy we could connect on his only free day. I thoroughly enjoyed his brand of massage and would be hapy to visit him in th US for a follow up session. On top of being a good masseur he's also a very interesting person to talk to and has a work background I found fascinating. We spent time after the massage getting to know each other better. A good conversationalist and company.
