I tried him. He's not a pro but he did a better job than what I expected! He hit most of the knots on my back and traps. I had to guide him when he was pressing too hard on sensitive areas. (Which is a better problem than not pressing hard enough IMO). The extras department was standard though. All around a nice guy. For my taste though, in order me to repeat , I'd rather get either a superb massage or superb extras.
