Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about finding or listing on MasseurMatch.

For Clients

What is MasseurMatch?+

MasseurMatch is an online directory of professional massage therapists across the United States — not a booking or payment platform. We help you discover and compare therapists; you then contact them directly to arrange a session. Our focus is a safe, LGBTQ+-inclusive, strictly professional and non-sexual massage experience where every client feels welcome and respected.

Does MasseurMatch handle booking or payments?+

No. MasseurMatch is a discovery directory, not a booking platform. We don't schedule appointments, process session payments, or take booking fees. You arrange the session, rate, and any payment directly with the therapist.

Is MasseurMatch LGBTQ+-friendly?+

Yes, inclusivity is the entire reason MasseurMatch exists. Every therapist on our platform has agreed to our LGBTQ+-Inclusive Practice Standards. LGBTQ+ clients can browse, search, and connect with confidence that they will be treated with dignity and respect.

How do I find a massage therapist near me?+

Use our search bar to enter your city or ZIP code. You can filter results by massage modality, pricing, availability, and LGBTQ+-affirming options. Each profile lists the therapist's services, rates, and availability so you can contact them directly.

How are therapists reviewed on MasseurMatch?+

Profiles go through an identity and photo review and a basic quality check before publication. MasseurMatch does not verify professional licenses, certifications, or insurance — please confirm a therapist's credentials, service fit, boundaries, and session details directly with them.

What do the badges on a profile mean?+

An 'Identity Verified' badge means the therapist completed an identity and photo check through Stripe Identity — it confirms who they are. It is not a guarantee of professional licensing, qualifications, or the outcome of any session. Promotional labels such as 'Featured' or 'Boosted' are paid placements and do not imply endorsement or recommendation by MasseurMatch.

Is my information private when I search?+

Completely. Therapists cannot see who has viewed their profile until you choose to contact them. We never sell your data, and we collect only the minimum information needed to operate the directory.

Does MasseurMatch charge clients to search or contact therapists?+

Searching and browsing MasseurMatch is completely free for clients. You can view therapist profiles and contact therapists at no cost.

What types of massage are available?+

Therapists on MasseurMatch offer a wide range of modalities including Swedish, deep tissue, sports massage, trigger point therapy, prenatal massage, lymphatic drainage, Thai massage, and more. Use the modality filter on the search page to find the right specialty.

How do I leave a review for my therapist?+

After connecting with a therapist through MasseurMatch, you can reach out to our support team to share your experience. Your feedback helps us maintain quality standards across the directory.
