Had a pleasant exchange with this very knowledgeable couple at my studio. They draw skills and effectiveness from a wide variety of certifications and are definitely healing centered. They were crystal clear in their communication and very professional in their conduct. They made sure they were punctual and kept all their agreements. I can recommend them without any reservation and know that they will consistently be a prized couple for therapeutic massage on this site. Easy to get along with and accomplish the authentic goals of a fair and equitable exchange with regard to time, patience and focus.
We had a great first session and I have several positive things to say about Chrysalis. She was a receive-only member and was very good about expressing her preferences, boundaries, interests and limits. We plan to establish a regular schedule of massages and I found her very appreciative of thorough technique, very punctual and I was very impressed with her gentle, pure and kind character. In conclusion, I can give Chrysalis an unconditional highest rating. *****
I have completed my first exchange with Hokman and have found his conduct as a person highly admirable. He was very clear in his communication and faithfully kept his word in all respects. He has excellent massage technique and soothed and stimulated effectively as required. I can endorse him highly as a person and a massage exchange member here. Respectable, respecting and personable, he will treat any encounter with the attention and commitment it deserves.
Thank you and I am flattered by the good words , you are a wonderful and talented person and knowledgeable gentleman. I do learn a lot from the past exchange and wish to share with others whom would enjoy a wonderful massage exchange . Thank you again .
Had an excellent exchange with sam214 and have some comments to share that are positive and affirming.
sam214 was very clear in his communications, punctual in keeping his appointment, respectful in attitude and a great intuitive masseur. He has a great firm touch and lots of energy and stamina. He very easily mirrored the massage I gave him and did a complete treatment. Even the most experienced professional has not been able to deliver the pressure I needed and sam214 was able to do that effectively. He combined several modalities in a blend that was highly effective. I would recommend sam214 as being professional and personable in his conduct and made me feel truly safe and in good hands. Unfortunately, he is a busy person with his summer work, studies and social life so I only hope we are able to find time in his busy schedule for regular massage exchanges. Yes, I would welcome a regular massage exchange with an all-round great person like sam214. We are both straight and in relationship with females so our interest is therapeutic in nature which is what I experienced. Thank you, sam214.
7 stars for squalway’s anatomy knowledge, technique, communication re appointment, reliability and adaptability. We had a mutually beneficial exchange and all aspects were beyond excellent. Where benefit is short lived in some exchanges, this will resonate for weeks BUT I would like the next exchange to be tomorrow. :-) I definitely want to establish a regular exchange frequency with squalway if he will agree. Today, we started a respectful and honouring friendship which I treasure as rare and valuable. Such MassageExchange.com members as squalway make this web site a valuable resource which provides superior results. He is a medical health care professional and for a man who is 5’2” he is a giant of capability, healing and remedy to me. He deserves the type of exchange he gives: patient, connected, attentive and generous.
I happily report that I had a great session with Shakariia. She has a nicely appointed studio which is fully equipped and well stocked with all the professional furnishings and supplies where she graciously receives visitors as a welcoming hostess. Let me fill you in some of the qualities not mentioned in her profile. Shakariia has received standard RMT training and now, as a professional masseuse, is working toward advanced certifications in the area of tantric massage. From the first therapeutic touch I knew that Shakariia was a gifted professional who was worth many times what I had previously paid for many, many hours of RMT services and similar therapies. She excels in her massage technique and has a depth of personality and character that certainly made our massage exchange profoundly therapeutic but also healing and valuable in the emotional and psychological aspects. She listened to my preferences and concerns carefully and gave them good and effective attention, asking for and adjusting to my responses as the treatment progressed. She has the strength and precise control to provide whatever firmness and pressure is required for the needed movement that the receiver can accept and persistently derive benefit from. After only this one treatment, I have been able to recover capabilities and flexibility that I thought I might never see again.
HamiltonJim was prompt to the agreed appointment time and place. He has a pleasant personality with many interesting topics he enjoys sharing about. He is very much at ease with massage and seemed to enjoy and benefit from the session. He is primarily interested in receiving and does that quite well. He is the type of person who sets you at ease and there is no question about safety when meeting with him. Highly recommended as a receive-only partner.
This member agreed to and punctually kept an appointment for a get-to-know-you visit without any massage exchange. I was very impressed with his ability to be very communicative and clear as we discussed our skills, experience and expectations. We have come to a mutually agreeable understanding, schedule and parameters. He is respectful of others, punctual keeping appointments, and highly ethical. I look forward to doing a review on his skills and experience after providing and receiving treatment. He made me feel comfortable with who he is in that visit and confident that our massage exchange would be competent, safe, healing and therapeutic. I'm glad we had a pre-exchange visit. It makes for good understanding and mutual clarity. We have scheduled an exchange appointment which my back and I look forward to eagerly.
This member set an appointment and neither arrived nor answered communication to explain not showing. Profile describes him as:
"Highly educated and employed in a mgmt position. Sane, safe and dependable." I hope he is safe and sound and will eventually explain candidly what happened. 90 minutes waiting for him and no show, phone call or email.
Bob56 has met with me to have a pre-massage-exchange familiarization interview. That meeting was pleasant and informative and he was candid about his experience and skills.
After our first exchange, two days later, I am pleased to now be able to offer a positive review on his actual performance that would affirm his high value as a massage exchange partner.
Bob56 was very modest seeing as he understated his competency. He has obviously taken a vital interest in what was performed for him by RMTs and sports specialist therapists. His touch is confident and strong and well informed by his experience receiving many paid professional sessions as well as his own self-directed study in the art and science of massage.
He has been very punctual for appointments as well as clear in his communications regarding session expectations and boundaries and is unquestionably a positive personality to be around. I look forward to establishing a regular schedule of massage exchanges and expect to continue being mutually benefitted by those sessions. Both of us place high value on personal health and wellness and, in particular, the great value of massage in managing stress, strains, injuries and tensions of life's challenges and those of mid-life aging.
Thank you Bob56 for a great exchange and here's to many future beneficial sessions.
