dolphinman Highly Recommended
Los Angeles, California, United States of America
If not for the dolphinman, I wouldn't know about the Watsu. Excellent form of bodywork! dolphinman is a very experienced and skilled practitioner. I enjoyed his treatment a lot and would recommend it to anybody who loves being in the water! I can't wait to exchange again. Great job, dolphinman.

patchy Highly Recommended
Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
Patch is thorough and very persistent when working out tension. I liked her smooth, comfortable touch. She has a confidence in her hands that is nice and palpable. That is rare. As we did a back-to-back exchange with me being on the table first, her work made me wonder a bit if I could 'measure up.' Good therapists always inspire me to become better myself, and Patch did that.

Therron

Is a professional person, kind, and very competent with a broad knowledge in Massage Therapy. He uses a variety of quality products and his studio is very comfortable and relaxing. I personally enjoyed his massage every minute that he spent with me on the massage table. He is very sensitive to detect where you might have a problem and will treat you gently; as well as knowing where you need a good deep tissue massage.

I personally highly recommend him for his excellent qualifications and his great human qualities.

Sincerely,

JerryChgo

I am a licensed massage therapist with ten years experience, and considr myself extremely fortunate to have had the pleasure of experiencing Rob's reflexology work! Rob's easy and sweet manner made me comfortable right away. His hands know exactly what they are doing.. I'd never experienced an hour reflexology on my feet before, and never thought much about it, having had so much bodywork done over the years.. and now I say to anyone who has not done this, you should DEFinitely go to Rob to find out what you have been missing!
Rob is awesome!

therronricks is amazing! His years of training and experience really shine through. He has a warm and friendly way about him that made a non-professional like myself drop all the insecurity of lacking technical skill. He really appreciates the willingness and enthusiasm that anyone is willing to bring to the table (no pun intended). I was so fortunate to have the best exchange experience with him. I am quite confident that anyone that takes the time to meet with him will be very happy with their experience too.

I was very apprehensive about reflexology as I usually don't like my feet massaged. Rob did an outstanding job, was very sensitive to my lack of understanding about reflexology, made me feel very comfortable and relaxed and I really enjoyed it! I am now turned onto a new modality! Rob is definately a pro!

rubforyou Highly Recommended
Chicago, Illinois, United States
I think the innate joy of being nurtured and cared for goes way back in our evolution as individuals connecting with one another for survival. rubforyou certainly knows how to nurture others. His touch is inviting and soothing, I felt warmed with his hands and knew that I would be cared for. I also enjoyed his playful and innocent approach to the body that disarmed any notion of shyness on my part with regard to my recent appendectomy scars. We hit it off well, and I get the feeling like I have always known him as a good friend.

daisy Highly Recommended
Oakville, Ontario, Canada
My introduction to Thai Massage was all that I had hoped for and much more. Even before I arrived, daisy offered excellent suggestions so I could benefit most from the massage. As the modality progressed, I was enchanted by its rather mystical and ethereal combination of 'energetic relaxation'. Although this may sound like an oxymoron, the massage was at once active, invigorating, and yet deeply calming. At one point, I was so relaxed that I caught myself floating off to that wispy land of slumber. That I consider to be a testament to daisy's skill as a Thai practioner. All it all, I would chalk up my hour on daisy's mat as one of life's exquisite treats.

tlcinstitute Recommended
London, England, United Kingdom
I have to admit I was a little wary of exchanging with tlcinstitute because normally the word aromatherapy makes me want to run a mile. I was expecting something soft and comforting - I hate such massages! Luckily I was proved utterly wrong. The room is ideal for treatments and the treatment itself was focused, intelligent, firm (thank god!) and very effective - and with a great collection of oils. My only quibble was tlcinstitute's insistence on answering the phone during the exchange. I do understand - he has a business he is anxious to grow - but I found it very off-putting and that is the only reason why I deduct one star. Next time maybe I'll pay for a treatment to get his undivided attention - he'd certainly be worth the money.

We did an Indian Head Massage exchange
- I received a lovely massage which loosened
up the tensions bothering me that day.
His IHM routine was quite different from mine,
which made the exchange even more interesting!
Highly recommended :)

tlcinstitute Recommended
London, England, United Kingdom
When I met up with tlcinstitute for a massage exchange, I was greeted very warmly and was made to feel relaxed straight away. He has a good sense of humor and says what he thinks. He is a really nice guy. The premises that he works from are laid out well and are very clean and comfortable.

When it was my turn to be massaged by him, he knew exactly the parts that needed treatment. He warned me that it would probably hurt---which it did--- as he really got into my muscles with firm pressure. Although I ached for a few days after, I really felt the benefit of his massage and slept a lot better.

The only thing that spoiled our exchange was that the phone rang a few times, which he answered. He has a busy schedule which makes it difficult for him to turn off his telephone. When he is more established in his premises and can relax more without the need to constantly keep in contact with his patients, then an exchange with him is highly recommended.

Pauls' treatment was focused,, certainly deep and manipulative; a good mixture of trained thought and perceptive handeling.
Surprising how this is not Pauls main occupation!
I would recommend Paul for all of the above and his gentle and warm personality yet the largest hands I have experienced..:)

From the first contact Marc was concerened that he had not had professional training and did not want to short change my trade.

He took instruction very well, when he slowed down his work was good and he made the effort to improve.

Marc is very pleasent and his skills are improving. I am pleased he faced his fears and decided to try.

I would recomend others to exchange with him.
