Inspiration333 Highly Recommended
Orpington, England, United Kingdom
I have met Inspiration333 twice now for a massage swap in Orpington where he has a pro table set up with towels & oils well laid out in advance. This young man is taking his training seriously and will make a first class therapist, as he combines thorough diligence towards this vocation with an empathetic and kindly manner that makes you feel at ease as soon as you meet him.
His approach to the massage bodywork is both competent and skilful, focusing on the routines he is learning at the Level 4 course on which he is currently enrolled. The delivery of these routines is excellent and well balanced to the needs of the recipient, highlighted by the regular checks where he asks for feedback over what he is doing and whether a lighter or firmer touch would be preferred. He is also conscientious in agreeing in advance what bodywork he is going to deliver, so that the partner is aware of what routines he is following.
Inspiration333 is a practitioner who deserves to be nurtured himself, to reflect his generous and empathetic nature and the combination of skill, competence and care that he delivers with every massage. Having the opportunity to do some massage practice in return is a benefit not just to provide him with some R&R but also for those lucky enough to swap with him as he provides valuable feedback and guidance on the moves and strokes as we go along.

Runinbare Highly Recommended
Lakeland, Florida, United States
Runinbare was a wonderful guest in our home, and a very good match for a massage exchange. We corresponded for a few weeks before we actually met, so we were able to learn about each other enough to not be total strangers when we met. When he arrived, he made himself comfortable and it was a very easy start. One of us massaged him first, and then switched. We were able to share time off the table as well, before and after the exchange, which is always a nice thing so nothing has to be rushed.
His style is quite good for an amateur like us: good technique, good questions asked, right amount of pressure, firm hands, and an overall great massage.
It was also a pleasure massaging him.
We recommend Runinbare to our fellow exchangers...he's an easy 5 stars!

PauloNW6 Highly Recommended
London, Greater London, United Kingdom
I visited Paulo and was ecstatic to see the soothing atmosphere including the lighting furniture and music. The massage table was just right. The massage itself was incredibly relaxing. He paced it correctly beginning with my back. He was able to give me relaxing broad strokes. As he moved on to the lower part that is I think where he shined the most. It did help that he is very strong with large hands as that increased the satisfaction. Would certainly recommend him

Wilton Manors, Florida, United States
I throughly enjoyed my exchange with these gentleman. We communicated several time before we were both able to schedule our massage exchange, and I personally believe it really helped to enhance both of our massage experience. The Twoorlando bears have a lovely home, and they had a comfortable massage table set up outside on their private patio, next to their the pool. Being their guest, I received my massage first. Quite honestly, it was one of the better massage exchanges I have had, while being a member for over two years. We both communicated openly about our likes and dislikes of massage styles, the amount of pressure used during the massage, and we each asked each other to work on areas of sore muscles. The gentleman have an out door private shower, and it only helped to enhance the over all massage exchange. During our exchange they had soft metatiive music playing softly in the background. I with out question highly recommend trying to schedule an exchange with them. I assure you that you will not be disappointed.

I met this great guy tonight. I was very nervous about my first massage exchange but he immediately put me at my ease. The massage he gave me was absolutely fantastic. I tried to remember what he had just done when he massaged me, then I was able to return the favour. I hope he enjoyed being my first ever massage as much as I enjoyed working on his body. I very much hope we can meet again soon,

vincent333 Highly Recommended
Tacoma, Washington, United States
What can I say, other than whoa, I was duly impressed w/ vincent333's technique & prowess w/ massage, I do not why I was due to the fact that we had established that we're both Sacred Brothers through CBE...which is practically a prerequisite to being a good masseur. Which vincent333 was!

We set up a session to which he was right on time considering that he hadta drive about 35mi to get here. He suggested that we start w/ a long hug, which I do not offer to paying massage clients as that would be crossing boundaries w/ them, but w/ vincent333 it was endearing, establishing trust, not to mention very calming.

He went on the table first. He complained of moderate Pain in his gluteal region which I tested for sciatica & piriformis syndrome getting a positive result for sciatica through my assessment....which massage therapy cannot treat. :-( So I gave him a nice slow swedish massage. Once I finished on his back-side, he suggested that we switch w/ me on the table having my back worked on then to switch again after my back was done working his front side then switching back to me on my front side. I have never done an exchange that way before. I liked it. It kept techniques that I wanted to try on him fresh in my mind...not to mention just feeling great & not having to wait a full 90min to get touched!

He has a true trained touch! :-) His strokes were long, smooth, done w/ intention, but not too deep. I thoroughly enjoyed him working on me. I hope to schedule another session w/ him...AND SOON! ;-)

Thanks much, vincent333!!

iilario Highly Recommended
Dianella, Western Australia, Australia
A massage with Ilario is an absolute delight.
Starting with body feathering and ending with warm towels, in between are Ilario's firm but gentle hands engaging your whole body.
It is definitely one of those " I wish this would never stop" times.

I had a second massage with Ilario at his Dianella studio. The studio still needs some finishing touches but has the ambience that allows you to relax and focus on Ilario's long strokes of sensual touch that send you into a beautiful reverie.
Highly recommended - a wonderful experience.

Tinkerxxxxx Highly Recommended
Kansas City, Missouri, United States
Boy, was that a grand massage we had. Fate was kind and Tinker and I and another Massage Exchange member got four hands to massage us in use exchanging with each other. Tinker as well as the other guy were excellent masseuses. I went first and at first it was a little awkward figuring out how to work around each other but at the end of my massage I had 4 expert hands having worked every inch of my body. Tinker was great and worked my extremities like a pro while the other guy was working other parts of me and vice versa with the other guy paying attention to me. I think with a 4 handed massage you could have a potential problem with people who would let one set of hands do all the work but that wasn't the case with this exchange. All were equally attentive to each other in our exchange and I had a most memorable massage.

northeastmassage Highly Recommended
Newcastle upon Tyne, England, United Kingdom
I had the distinct pleasure of receiving a therapeutic massage from northeastmassage last week.
He is currently partaking in a course and required a practice body which I was happy to supply.

I was invited to his home and the massage took place in a room specifically set aside for the purpose. There was also shower facilities available if required. It was a safe, warm and very clean environment, and this, together with Steve’s friendly welcome immediately put me at ease.

After obtaining some none intrusive history from me I was treated to an unhurried extremely professional massage.
It was a therapeutic massage and my modesty was preserved throughout.

I particularly liked the way Steve could pinpoint the areas where there was tightness in my muscles and was able to work these and his knowledge was superb.

Afterwards I felt very relaxed but invigorated. Some niggling little aches and pains I had were minimised and that night I slept very well.

I know Steve requires further practice bodies and if you get the chance I highly recommend you visit him.

stephenlincs Highly Recommended
North Kesteven, England, United Kingdom
I already had a good feeling about "stephenlincs" through the various messages we had exchanged and I wasn't disappointed when we met up - he's another of the good guys on here!

Very easy to get along with, Stephen was polite and amiable, and very interesting to chat to. His massage technique combined both firm and more sensual touch and was very pleasurable. What I really liked was that we were so quickly relaxed and happy in each other's company to share laughter, conversation and intimacy.

I do hope we will have the opportunity to exchange again before too long.

Perth, Western Australia, Australia
Thank you for last week exchange. Enjoyed the verly slow and gentle effleurage of the sensitive, sensual body parts. Warming the massage oil and care with applying the oil with out dripping would heighten the experience greatly. I need to ensure the room is also comfortably warm as well.

massagemagic4U has a very firm, confident massage stroke and is intuitive with his sensual, gentle touching. Pre explanation and talking through what techniques are about to be enjoyed is also welcome when massaging a person for the first time, to promote relaxation and confidence.
Having experience with 4 hand massage is also a bonus and something to look forward to for future sessions.

What a kind, warm and skilful very nice gentleman he is. I enjoyed our conversation before our session and he was very patient answering all my questions about massage exchanges, how to gain skills etc....
Not only does he massage in a very personal and truly connected manner, he bring his own soul to the table which I felt made the experience even more enjoyable. Looking forward to our next exchange. 10 stars out of 5!!!

I met this delightful gentleman on Sunday, he is warm, friendly, charming and intelligent, he immediately put me at ease in his company.
I am a professional masseuse and when it comes to massage, I take it seriously. We chatted for a while and he asked me about any injuries or any troubled areas (this is always a good sign to me). I also mentioned my boundaries which he kept to.
His massage is absolutely amazing, better than all the professionals I have dealt with (bar one) and he has an exceptionally good understanding of the physiology of the body and an even better touch.
I can’t recommend him highly enough. Ladies, if you miss out on his massage, you a really missing out.
