I deleted a comment I made a few weeks ago in this thread after @Alex.Blessings reached out to me 1:1 to understand my feedback. I wanted to share an update here, which is twofold.
(1)
@Alex.Blessings messaged me offering a free follow-up session to address any feedback I had. Though I was initially hesitant, he genuinely seemed interested in my feedback, which I will admit I did not offer him after my first session. I guess I am not used to sharing feedback live with a masseur after a massage, when and if I have any. When I shared the feedback with him, he was very fair in responding to it and offered me to share exactly what I was looking for in the massage. I did, and I told him if it wasn't a match and it's not what he offers, no hard feelings and we could each move on. I truly appreciated his offer to try to understand my feedback and what I was looking for in a session - I had never experienced that with a masseur before, and I have tried many.
He agreed to the items I listed and once again offered a free session to give it another try. He was very kind about it. We had our session last night and it was everything I asked for - he took my feedback into account and incorporated all I asked for. I've tried a bunch of masseurs this year and have not yet found my regular, but after last night I don't think I need to continue my search and will be visiting Alex on a regular basis. I didn't want to take his offer for granted, so I did provide a tip for his generous offer and thorough session.
If you plan to meet Alex, just be open about what you're expecting or hoping for, and he will do the same in return. Perhaps I should have done so before our first session.

Everyone needs to take the temperature down a bit on this thread. Our world is full of enough hatred and division; it doesn't take much to be cordial and nice to one another, even when we disagree. This should be a forum in which people are comfortable sharing their views and none of us should be worried about being attacked for our opinions.
@Alex.Blessings genuinely sought out my feedback, made a very generous offer to rectify the situation, and provided a session that was everything I asked for. Thank you, Alex, and I look forward to many more sessions together.
