kennethm Recommended
Saint Andrews, Scotland, United Kingdom
I have just had a massage from kennethm and I would have to say I was pleasantly surprised. For someone who has not been formally trained he appeared to grasp all the basics from having previously received massages. It would be quite easy to train him to a professional standard should he wish although I am aware he just likes massage. I would therefore, have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

samfinch Highly Recommended
London, England, United Kingdom
My expectations of a massage by samfinch had been heightened by the glowing reviews I had read and boy, does he deserve them! This is beautiful, strong and sensitive 'bodywork' and indeed he does have the most amazing pair of hands, which he uses with great insight in the needs of the body he is working on. My problem shoulder and knotted tendons in my back were given expert attention with careful observation of my pain threshold. And the complete massage left me totally relaxed, wondering where the time had gone. What a wonderful experience!

leouk Highly Recommended
Guildford, England, United Kingdom

leouk apparently has had wonderful teachers and has been a gifted student himself. His profile says he offers just 'massage' and 'Swedish massage' but, in fact, it is too humble as his bodywork may include other techniques - depending on recipient's needs, likes and dislikes. The caring attitude towards an exchange partner and willingness to organize the swap is as worth as the massage skills themselves.

hertsthrob Highly Recommended
Hertford, England, United Kingdom
We arranged this exchange at quite short notice, the benefit of living not far from hertsthrob. I'd seen his glowing reviews, and was confident that I'd be in safe hands, but would he have the sensitivity that lifts a massage beyond a mere transaction? I needn't have worried as he moved expertly to deliver a truly excellent relaxing massage with the little details that mark out a masseur with soul as well as expertise. When it came to my turn to give hertsthrob a massage, it was a pleasure to work with his toned body. I can thoroughly recommend hertsthrob, and personally look forward to the next time we can exchange massages.

muhcoj Highly Recommended
Islington, England, United Kingdom
I know it doesn't sound very modest, but there aren't many people I meet who give me a massage that is as good as mine. Just occasionally I encounter someone who gives me one that is even better. Today I enjoyed just such a massage - controlled, thorough, experienced, intuitive and fully sensitive to what I needed. And I just adored all that Thai technique!
If that weren't enough, muhcoj is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, intelligent, witty and somehow very calming. If he offers you a massage and you turn him down (or are one of those rude people who don't even bother to reply), you don't deserve to be on this site.

hardandsoft Highly Recommended
Colchester, England, United Kingdom
hardandsoft is a friendly and personable guy. He has a good understanding of basic massage techniques but more importantly he is intuitive and fundementally understands touch.

We exchanged for about 3 hours and learned from each other. hardandsoft uses long gentle strokes to relax the body before applying oil and working more deeply. I particularly liked the slow gentle manipulations he uses for some regions such as the hands. These moves are deeply relaxing and enjoyable.

I am looking forward to our next exchange and would encourage others to do the same.

SunLover Recommended
Marlow, England, United Kingdom
Apologies for a long overdue review - Sun lover is a very enthusiastic "non-professional". He gave a very satisfactory treatment and is quick to learn - I felt he was keen to try some of the techniques I had used on him and this worked very well - he has a good pressure and is a nice friendly guy too. Hope we can exchange again if time allows.

GuildfordExpertMasseur Highly Recommended
Guildford, England, United Kingdom
I had the good fortune of exchanging massages with Henry, during my recent business trip to London, and I'm still reeling from the experience. He made me feel very secure by his very gentle and "connecting" approach to massage, his knowledge of the human anatomy is just awesome. He makes you very comfortable even if you are a novice. I learnt a lot and enjoyed every moment of the time we spent massaging and learing. Hope to meet you soon Henry to learn more. Highly highly recommended

aris20 Recommended
Wokingham, England, United Kingdom
aris20 is a thoroughly good bloke who is as good as his word and doesn't mess around. His technique is self-taught as he says himself but very good for all that. He could go a little slower on the very deep stuff but I particularly enjoyed the work on my legs. We didn't have quite enough time to do what we wanted but it was a good exchange for all that and you should jump at the chance of an exchange yourself.

Angus, Ontario, Canada
This couple are very friendly couple made me feel right at home from the start. They have a beautiful home on a lovely piece of property and are very gracious hosts. The hot tub was a good start to our massage session as it gave us the chance to talk and get to know each other and to feel more comfortable before the actual massage began.

Taking the lead from the gentleman, we began with a massage of his wife that allowed us to mirror each other's movements as we worked together on giving her an overall massage. I was completely at ease with both of them throughout the entire process.

She has strong hands and a delicate touch and I thoroughly enjoyed my massage as she was able to release areas of tension and stress. Great job!

I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon with this great couple.

samfinch Highly Recommended
London, England, United Kingdom
Anyone who needs a deep sports massage can count on samfinch for a professional, focused and effective treatment. He hit all the right spots and nodules. He knows just the right amount of pressure to apply to make treatment effective. Light room, nice table, warm towels, professional lotion make the experience all the more enjoyable. Highly recommended.

MassageAddict Highly Recommended
San Francisco, California, United States
I exchanged massages with MassageAddict at the beginning of April'08 and received a deep massage that was heartfelt, very attentive, and and expert. With no professional experience, this woman has a gift and is expanding her range.

As a bonus, MassageAddict is very easygoing, warm, and a good person. Her energy inspired my own. I am looking forward to our next exchange.

Angus, Ontario, Canada
I highly recommend this member. I have enjoyed her ability to share her own preferences and choice of techniques before the session while asking me questions that made our first session a success. The chance to share some time in the hot tub with her and her husband before the massage was a great opportunithy to break the ice and have a chance to get to know each other a bit too. I hope that we will have a chance to share several more sessions in the future. Her massage strokes were both relaxing and released my stress points.

The session with John was great. He is very secure with himself and with others and he is such a professional and he knows how to communicate well and he can make you feel at ease and comfortable. I wish there were more people like him who is not afraid to be massaged and be touched by men and vice versa. Just as in positive reviews by others, ditto! Kudos to John.

It was great to receive a treatment incorporating useful massage techniques different from the usual Western style.
I'll certainly try some of Ulhas' stretches in my treatments.

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and felt very relaxed throughout the treatment. The reiki healing at the end of the session helped me release the last of the shock from an accident the previous day, so I'm very grateful.

tlcinstitute Highly Recommended
London, England, United Kingdom
tlcinstitute has just given me one of the deepest, best-focussed, and effective massages I have ever had. He has that rare mix of professional knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm which together with acute observation and empathy makes him an accomplished masseur. I am the more impressed because Sports Massage is not his principal therapy.
The swap took a bit of time to set up as we are both busy at our therapy profession and we agreed to keep our phones swithched on but we are both capable of massaging with one hand whilst keeping the customers happy on the mobile with the other - so, no problems!
A spacious, bright massage room in a versatile therapy complex, a comfortable table and one of the best selections of essential oils I have seen in a long time all combined to make this a memorable swap. Very Highly Recommended - but not too many of you too often as I want to swap with him again soon!

Wow....What can I say. By far the best Massage I have ever experianced. Met With MsgdudeUK yesterday evening and was blown away by his manner. Really nice guy who makes you feel at ease immediately.
Very professional approach at all times yet intuitive to aches and pains. Took his time during the massage which was a varied technique, gentle yet firm in the right places.
