J and I met yesterday (Oct 20) for our first trade. He readily admitted that while he had many massages as a client, this was going to be his first time "as the masseur". We had a great time!. Not that I'm any expert, but there was helpful conversation back and forth throughout the exchange and he clearly had a good sense of what were effective interventions for different body parts. Another "first" was that, in order to try out his skills, I did "back" on him and then we immediately traded so he could do "back" on me. From that point I did "front" and then the exchange took place again. It also really improved communication and feedback and an openness to "try out" diffent moves and positions with immediate feedback. So, in essense, yesterday was a "first" for me as well!.. Guys, you got a good student here and a nice guy as well. You'll also get a good massage experience from a genuinely interested and interesting person. Give him a try!!

My massage exchange experience with Iovoni (energyhands) was wonderful!. Firstly, she is a truly genuine person, and also, a highly skilled professional masseuse who left me literally "lighter in weight and lighter in spirit" (as in emmanating light). I've received and experienced many massages in my time but I must say that Iovoni's stands out among all of them. I have so far already recommended her to about three friends who may call and hire her for a massage session. I told them that it is the best investment they can make in their overall health. I am looking forward to another wonderful exchange with Iovoni and try to learn as much as I can form her, and of course, enjoy another amazing massage session given by her and her really gifted energy hands!

ARtarzan Highly Recommended
Hardy, Arkansas, United States
KYTarzan and his wife were on vacation for this Octoberfest Bike Week in Fl and we exchanged massages. I was so happy to have met them and was so honored that they chose me to exchange massages. His time and professionalism were exemplary and very soothing. I am one happy massage therapist that does not know how to relax and enjoy the process of healing simply because I am always the giver. I need to exchange and receive alot more... and you will be happy to know that if you contact both of them anytime you are in Kentucky, you will be just as thrilled as I am. Not only did we exchange, I have a couple of new friends, and to boot received a ride on his motorcycle!!! I highly recommend him for massage exchange. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! P.S. Pics to follow so I can post our happy mugs on here too!!!

What a nice man, and great experience. Learned 3 new "techniques" from him, and thouroughly enjoyed his massage. I'd never used a mat before, but found it to be quite workable and easy to use. I was completely relaxed and at peace when we finished.

Blake get my highest recommendation. He performs a mix of swedish and shiatsu massage focusing on relaxation and aroma therapy. The massage is firm and deep; yet he quickly adapts to whatever feels best for the client. Blake mixes use of lotions and oils based upon the bodypart. I thought that was unique, and worked really well. He is very respectful. I felt totally at ease with him and as a result was able to take in, and enjoy the entire experience. Blake finished each side by sprinking a body power all over me. While it felt very cool, it also had a practical purpose of absorbing the oils. It was really nice! I am only sorry I was there for just one night. Once again, I cannot recommend Blake strongly enough! He is awesome. The next time I find out that I need to make a trip to Dallas, before even making the flight reservations I will call Blake and ask him to block off his calendar.

My first trade with Gary was very enjoyable. He is very pleasant and nurturing. I had a Lomi Lomi/Esalen combination type massage and found it to be a wonderful and relaxing experience.
I just finished my second trade. Gary is a very warm and personable guy. I feel very safe and at ease under his soothing touch and professional manner. Time was way too short and I look forward to another trade soon. I give him the highest recommendation.

Another massage exchange with peter77 and this time it was even more enjoyable than the first. As agreed I went first and he went flat out and gave me a great massage - combination of a Sports and Swedish style, coupled with stretching that helped me totally unwind and relax. What adds to the massage experience with him, is the fact that he is a very friendly and non-fussy person, and makes every effort to put his massage partner at ease. Highly recommended!!

First Trade: Connie's massage was great! She was very professional and caring. She has a nice firm, yet gentle touch and is obviously very experienced. I only wish we lived closer so we could trade more often. I would recommend her massage to anyone who wants a great experience.

Second Trade: I had the opportunity to do another trade with Connie. This experience was better than I had remembered from the first time. Very professional and nurturing with a great sense of humor and attitude. The only downside was that the time flew by so fast and that the session had to eventually end. Highly recommended.

bengiboy Recommended
Crawley, England, United Kingdom
I was fortunate to be able to visit bengiboy during the weekday recently and was greeted by a very amiable and friendly host. From the beginning to the end I was treated warmly and with a genuine show of compassion. bengiboy's style of massage is one of the softest relaxation massages I have enjoyed. I felt utterly relaxed and completely at ease by the end of the session. For a first swap, I am impressed with the ease at which we both "clicked", this is due in part to the "connection technique" that bengiboy has developed over the past two years and it certainly works! I would recommend this massage partner to anybody looking for a genuine experience.

I had a massage today and was not a good experience. Rumi needs a lot of training and lots of knowledge of the human body.

Reply from rumi770 of 2008-12-15
I am healer and artist and Healing Massage is an experience in giving of ones self and opening the heart to receive. The intention to truly give and receive takes place before touch even occurs, if the spirit and mind of both are not in tune with this intention then the energy will be blocked and dissipated.

If we are not ready and willing to sincerely give and receive healing and love we are merely indulging in sport and exercise. The over emphasis on training, technique and knowledge as our way to peace and well being is the reason we are losing sight of healing and peace. The frantic obsession with method and technique beyond a certain point makes for a mechanistic attitude toward loving healing touch and leads to alienation, loneliness and depersonalization. This is the problem and challenge facing western healers who are in dire need of training of the spirit and knowledge of the human heart.

We had our first exchange today, and it was wonderful! Massageaddict4u is a very sensitive, intuitive, and kind individual who sets you at ease the moment you meet him. He generously hosted our exchange at his beautiful apartment, and had a massage table and oils available. The session was very relaxing and extremely beneficial. Although he is still new at exchanging, I have no doubt that there is a great potential in him which can already be evidenced both during and after the exchange is over. I commented that I really believe that he has "his heart in his hands", which flowed with a positive and wholesome energy. It was a true pleasure, and I look forward to our next exchange!

Having travelled to Rugga for a massage-i was very pleasantly surprised
For someone who has very little or no experience at giving massage,he really does have the "feel" for it-his strokes are long,smooth and deep,yet very very relaxing too,I felt at ease the moment I met this guy
All in all he's a great friendly man and would recommend you to try him if its a good relaxing,friendly massage youre looking for,as he sure does make you feel very welcome and relaxed in his home even before he starts the massage........I believe,after he has completed a course or two,he'll be a great force to reckon with as an excellent Masseur/Bodyworker
