An outstanding swap with Dan. He is a skilled therapist and uses great solid pressure throughout the massage. He checked in regularly as to the pressure and strokes.
I would happily pay this man for a regular massage. Thanks Dan for a great massage. I hope we can swap again soon. |

I met NorthernTouch today. He is a lovely gentleman with a style of massage that is better than some professional massages I’ve paid for.
He has a great range of pressure and has a considered, attentive approach to his massage. What he needs to be a great massage therapist is a knowledge of anatomy and a knowledge of different strokes to address different issues in the body. Study and practice will help tremendously. I look forward to further sessions and have no issue giving him a highly recommended rating. |

A very quick arrangement for a swap that proved to be very good.
jaybracknell says he is an enthusiast and that he is. More experience is needed. So saying, 3hrs disappeared on us last night in a very enjoyable exchange. He arrived promptly on time and we had a cup of tea and a chat about the session before beginning and to understand where each other is coming from for the swap. It became clear very quickly the jaybracknell is a thoroughly pleasant gentleman. We then started the massage. I took him through some of the key muscles and strokes to use on them and how to work from light to a medium pressure. Hey then applied his own approach but used the new strokes and knowledge to leave me feeling very relaxed. Thanks for a lovely session jaybracknell. |

| Very short notice swap but one that proved to be really good!
AntsNZ is lovely, patient, welcoming and made me feel at ease very quickly. Lovely cup of tea too! I learnt a great deal as well as being on the receiving end of a lovely massage; thorough and firm but soothing and relaxing in a calm and warm atmosphere. We had a lovely evening chatting and massaging. A thoroughly super time that flew by all too soon! Thanks again AntsNZ! |

I meet Stephen at for an unhurried swap Sunday 15th April. He had the room ready and warm with an open fire going. Very nice on a cold rainy day. We discussed the approach to the session and then took 20mins for me to show Stephen a a number of strokes and an approach to massaging the back for a medium depth therapeutic massage.
Stephen is a quick learner and proceeded with some direction to give me a very nice back & buttocks massage. We then swapped and I massaged Stephen's, back, buttock and legs. He then massaged my legs to end the session. With practice he will be able to deliver a good therapeutic massage. I'd be happy to swap again. |

dolphindave met me at my hotel for a swap. It had take a couple of months to organise but was worth it.
We decided that I would receive first and then we would swap after my back was done so I could then massage Dave's back. Then swap again for the front. It worked well for us. He has a slow steady approach with great pressure. At no time did I feel he was rushing the massage. He asked for and responded to feedback. And then took some direction on how to work a particular problem spot. Given we were using the bed for the swap I was really impressed with the pressure and his ability to keep in contact while moving. We had close to 4hrs of massage and the time disappeared. Always a sign of a great swap i feel. I would heartily recommend dolphindave and hope that we can swap again. |

Had an outstanding massage swap with arthur2012 for the 2nd time.
He is a lovely man to chat with and to massage. He is receptive to different strokes and styles and will incorporate select strokes into his repertoire. His style is firm, with differing application of strokes to work a problem area. He takes direction to increase or lighten pressure and responds immediately. 3hrs disappeared on us and I'm sure we could easily have continued for longer. I hope to be able to swap with him the next time I'm in New Zealand. Thanks for a great session arthur2012 :-) |

First let me say what a lovely gentleman this man is. Engaging, intelligent great use of language. Forget the massage, I could have sat for hours with a glass of wine talking!
DeepRelax describes his massage as intuitive and has had some basic introduction to massage. Don't let this put you off. The pressure he used was perfect. Nice and firm and at the right speed. Good use of forearms for added contact and pressure. I would describe his style as a firm considered rubdown that slowly morphs into a body to body / body electric style massage that left me completely blissed out for hours. Really hope to swap again the next time he is in London. |

Had a lovely session with bengiboy. He is a lovely, easy to talk to gentleman who mad me feel very relaxed. He had the room warm, table ready and a glass of water and music all set.
We went with his approach to start with and it is a very affirming relaxing way to begin a session. His style of massage is a mix of various modalities that work for him. Long flowing strokes slowly moving into medium depth pressure. Very relaxing. Hope to swap again. |

Met with Jonno59 for a fantastic afternoon of massage and very pleasant company.
He has sufficient experience to give a good full body massage. He was also willing to take direction as I talked him through some strokes and application of strokes to different parts of the body. Would very much like a repeat session. |

In a word... Awesome. Deep tissue work like I've not had previously in the UK.
Attention to the detail of the muscle that is being worked on. Fantastic pressure applied with just the right amount of consideration. i.e. sometimes, you have to continue working evening of it hurts. There is a good and bad hurt and Greencamberwell eased off then put the pressure back on based on the feedback provided. There were a number of strokes that I'd not encountered previously that I hope to get an overview of the next time we meet. the crossed forearm stroke on the quads one in particular that was fantastic. A fantastic exchange which I will repeat again. Many thanks. |
