London, United Kingdom
Many thanks for meeting me just before Christmas when time was short and full of a stress.
What was good about it. Well, it's always good to return to your roots. My initial massage course was holistic bodywork. And that's exactly what I got. We had a relaxing afternoon and a welcome distraction from life's complications. Just what I needed during my study break, over the festive holiday.

RM20 Highly Recommended
London, England, United Kingdom
This is the second time that RM20 and I have exchanged. Was so glad we have kept in touch and managed to arrange for when I got down last Sunday. Just as before, a warm welcome and we chatted a while about our lives and things we were up to. We both had issues to be worked on and I had the pleasure of his amazing hands first. He worked his magic on areas I never knew had issues... What an amazing experience under his guidance.
Certainly set me up for the rest of the week. Was really pleased we had an unrushed exchange giving me plenty of time to work on him. He was very appreciative to my style of massage. Only disappointment is that he lives in another city as would certainly make our exchanges more regular.
***** plus...

Certainly one of the best exchanges with a true Gent. Thank you so much and will certainly be back.

topicalguy Highly Recommended
Wilmslow, United Kingdom
Recently exchanged massages with topicalguy. I was his first exchange and he felt inexperienced in giving massage. Quite the opposite was evident. He demonstrated a lovely touch, was able to vary the pressure, and sweeping strokes left me totally relaxed.
A real gent. I would love to meet up again before long.

DunnyB Highly Recommended
London, United Kingdom
Proffessional. Enthusiastic. Precise. Expertise.

DunnyB is a complete professional who takes great pride in her massage work and high standards which she is clearly very passionate about.
Communication was clear and straightforward.
We exchanged at her flat which was well prepared and set out - all details were covered; table, towels, scents, candles, soft lighting, relaxing music, antiseptic wipes for feet etc.

DunnyB arrived at the door wearing a massage therapist uniform, went through an initial consultation form stringently including contraindications which was all clearly recorded onto the clipboard form, set clear boundaries & expectations, all in a friendly supportive way.

She'd taken note of the information in the consultation to recommend and agree on a aromatherapy combination and then blended that oil there and then. All rather impressive, as was the expert massage which smoothly combined a number of strokes, into an efficient full body massage.

Care and attention was paid to areas of concern that had been highlighted in the consultation. This included a very surprising little-noticed minor arm muscle which I hadn't previously realised was contributing to pain/problems further along the movement chain.

The entire routine was given in a precise, flowing and confident manner which got directly to the point, smoothly preparing an area before working on it deeply, with no touch being wasted.

Thank you HumbleMassage. It was great to give that treatment and your muscles responded well. I thank you also for the massage exchange. It was lovely. What you lacked in formal education you thrived in great enthusiasm for the love of massage therapy. It was a delight to watch. You wanted to get it right and I was very impressed by your attitude and willingness to give a fabulous treatment. I do hope we can become therapy buddies ones the basics are out of the way. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Had an opportunity for a repeat exchange with 'tomdublin' last weekend.
He delivered an enjoyable massage with decent pressure.
I have found him to be a genuine guy who kept me informed of delays he encountered before our session (definitely rates recommended for that alone)
and have no difficulty recommending him and look forward to our next exchange.

Paul is a massage genius. He was able to find knots that my monthly ME therapists have missed for years. His passion for massage is surpassed only by his skill. He makes an excellent teacher as well.

TopQualityDeepTissue Highly Recommended
Manhattan, New York, United States
I exchanged massage with TopQualityDeepTissue over a week ago. He was very pleasant, courteous, and respectful. He definitely knew what he is doing. I must say he gave me one of the best massages I've ever gotten.

He knew immediately what my problem spots where and worked the kinks and knots out with very deep and precise massage strokes. I look forward to exchanging massage with him again.

Kahunatherapist Highly Recommended
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
If you don't know Kahuna or Lomilomi massage, don't let put you off swapping with this guy! I had one of the most profound massage experiences of my career with Stewartw. I am unfamiliar with the modalities he specialises in, so it was hard to judge whether he was doing it "properly". It wasn't far into the massage when I realised he was and that Stewartw is extremely competent in his massage skills. My body felt absolutely transformed, freer and I had that marvellous post-massage haze about me for hours after... No question, the positive effect it had on my body was profound and long lasting. Cap that off with the man doing the massage, Stewartw is polite, punctual, a very amendable humble man, but commanding with his skills... It's clear he knows what he is doing, the confident as the practitioner. It was a great swap giving each other two hours each.
So, if you can get the chance, I would encourage a swap with Stewartw, I hope he comes back to Victoria for another swap session with me (please). Stewartw is highly recommended.

ajfs71 Highly Recommended
London, United Kingdom
I had an excellent exchange with ajfs71. But then from our very first contact, I knew I would. He was responsive, friendly and approachable on email and IM.

And when we met up, my first impressions were confirmed. He’s an excellent host, very welcoming and immediately put me at my ease.

His massage was firm, intuitive and relaxing. He may be untrained, but he has a natural touch and an innate energy you can feel from the first stroke. From start to finish, it was an absolute pleasure. He's also a joy to massage - as responsive receiving as he is giving. Highly recommended!

It was a real pleasure exchanging massage with Sanomike. He was friendly, welcoming and a generous host. We spent some time talking about what we wanted with the session. His massage set-up is well equipped with table and essential oils. He was prepared for creating a relaxed and healing atmosphere where I felt safe and at-ease. He has had some training and is a skilled masseur.

Dartford, England, United Kingdom
I met up with Hungfotyou 2609 yesterday evening for a great relaxed and unhurried exchange. He is a very relaxed and friendly guy with a good knowledge of bodywork and a very intuitive touch. Although this was his first exchange since joining the site he had given and received massages previously and this was immedietly evident as he used his very skilfull hands to ensure all muscle groups were massaged in an unhurried and pampering way. He is very generous with his time and I was aware it was his objective that I received a great massage, I have to say I received a FANTASTIC one, thank you very much James. I would highly recommend Hungforyou 2609 to others and really hope to exchange with him again in the future.

alteregolondon Highly Recommended
Bromley, England, United Kingdom
Earlier this week I met up with altreregolondon for an exchange. When he arrived he apologised for not having as much time as expected and very generously offered to just give me a massage on this occasion rather than rushing things so both of us could receive one.

Although I was the first person he had given a massage to through Massage Exchange and revealing he only had a little experience he proceeded to give me an excellent massage with confidence and skill. alteregolondon used a variety of long flowing strokes and shorter specific strokes to give me a very relaxing enjoyable massage.

It would have been much easier for him to have cancelled the exchange when unexpected work commitments arose but alteregolondon is a man of great integrity and did not want to let me down at short notice, I think this says a lot about his character. I really look forward to meeting up with him again soon to return the compliment and hopefully to teceive another wonderful massage from him. I would highly reccomend him to others.

Thank you so much for a wonderful review, I am glad you enjoyed the massage; I enjoyed meeting up with you and felt immediately at ease. You were very well prepared with a clean and nicely heated room, towels and heated oils, all of which made for a great massage - just a pity I had to rush.

I look forward to meeting up again soon

CMT Highly Recommended
Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, United States
I had the pleasure of meeting CMT for a massage exchange. At first, I was hesistant because he has so much experience. I felt I could not keep up with him and thus he would not enjoy the massage. However, within a couple chats I was comfortable with the idea of meeting him. I am glad I followed my instinct. It was well worth my time. Of course, CMT was excellent with the massage to the point I did not want to get off the table. But I did and although, I felt so inexperience after that great massage, I did try to imitate some of his moves and I believe he appreciated the fact that I was willing to learn and apply. I would definitely recommend CMT as well as trade another massage.
