An extraordinarily warm, expressive, joyful woman. I did a Lomi massage combined with some deep tissue treatment, especially around her shoulders and neck which were tense. She was relaxed and gave great feedback on the massage and when I was hitting the right spots. It was such a pleasure and I hope to give her more treatments in the future.
Nice person. A plus size body with some gnarly spots along the spine which was a challenge. I did a light/medium pressure swedish massage for back, neck and legs mainly. She was kind enough to give me a short massage (even though she lists as receive-only). She has soft warm hands and a gentle smooth style so it was nice and relaxing. I think regular massage would be beneficial for her so I hope she finds more exchange partners here.
Babykoala is a warm and joyful person who loves to laugh and made me feel right at ease when I came over for a massage exchange. I was on the table first and enjoyed a beautiful massage that was thorough and energetic. Then I gave her a massage with some deep tissue work around the hips being the main focus. After we had a cup of tea and a chat which was really enjoyable and interesting. It was a nice experience all round.
long10fingers came to my place for a massage swap and it was a wonderful experience. She is an intelligent, friendly and free-spirited person and we were immediately comfortable in each other's presence. She is unable to hear and I don't know sign language so we communicated by typing on my laptop which was actually really efficient and we worked out what sort of massage to do and boundaries. She was on the table first and I did a Lomi style massage combined with some firmer treatment, especially of her neck which was very tense. Then I received a beautiful massage from her and she was able to replicate some of the techniques I had done, making some wonderful full body length strokes using a combination of elbows, forearms and palms in the Lomi style. Most importantly she put her whole heart into it which made it such a joy to receive.
It's been a pleasure and privilege to have given several massages to B. She is open and honest in communication and also chilled out and welcoming upon meeting. Her massage room is nice and warm and set up with massage table, warm oil and music ready to go. She has excellent well developed muscles to massage and truly appreciates a precise and strong deep tissue massage that helps relieve those aches that happen in a heavily worked body. If you get the opportunity then make sure you can deliver a strong and skillful massage, not a mere basting.
Anton delivered a vigorous and energetic deep tissue massage and incorporated many excellent stretches. He was also very detailed and accurate in his work and his experience shone through. I massaged him first and actually I felt a little guilty because he put more weight into his massage, but next time (I hope for another exchange) I'll give a stronger massage - I think that's what he needs!
A breath of fresh air. J is a good communicator, genuine and straightforward, with an upbeat and optimistic personality. She was relaxed and receptive on the table and was happy for me to practice some newly learnt techniques as well as my standard repertoire. It was a pleasure to massage her and I hope to enjoy the experience again soon!
An experience that was both flawless and floorless, as I was walking on air for days afterwards. The first exchange with TF really opened my eyes to how powerful massage can be, and how beneficial. Since then we've had several more swaps and he has taken the time to help improve my technique. He gives honest feedback and tips for improvement, while also communicating appreciation for massage that demonstrates integrity and focus. If you're lucky enough to have an exchange with TF then don't rush - give him at least 1 hour of your best ability. You will be rewarded with an epic, time-warping massage that will make you feel like you've just spent a month on vacation.
I've enjoyed several massage sessions with Betty. She is friendly, well organized and punctual and knows exactly how she wants to be massaged and gives plenty of detailed feedback throughout the session, which in my opinion makes her ideal for less experienced therapists who are genuinely seeking to improve their massage technique, particularly Swedish style effleurage and stroking techniques as well as flowing styles like Lomi. Beyond the massage sessions, I've also found her to be a generous and caring person who goes out of her way to help those who earn her respect.
Pedalpusher arrived right on time with a bright and open smile that immediately won my trust. I was on the table first and he began the massage with some very light centering touch to put me at ease. He then proceeded with a highly effective combination of stretches and strong massage. Be sure to let him know beforehand if you have any bad joints because the stretches will give them a good workout. I particularly enjoyed the stretches of the shoulders and chest, which opened them up and allowed for deep inhalation and improved breathing. There was also some nice detailed massage around the scapulas - right where I needed it. He finished as he began, with light touch, which contrasted well with the strong massage. He was focused, confident and respectful throughout.
