How We Verify Massage Therapist Profiles
Our team reviews every massage therapist profile on letsmassage.net before it goes live. letsmassage.net is a directory, not an intermediary or an agency, so trust matters. Therapists who choose to can also verify their identity, and badges are awarded according to defined criteria. Below we explain the process step by step.

How Does a Profile Go Online?
- 1
The therapist opens an account and enters their profile details (city, massage types, working hours, prices).
- 2
If they wish, they can verify their identity by uploading an official identity document through a secure, encrypted flow. This step is optional and earns the "Identity Verified" badge.
- 3
Our team reviews the profile and any documents and checks compliance with our content guidelines and rules.
- 4
The approved profile goes online, and a therapist whose identity is verified carries the "Identity Verified" badge.
What Do the Badges Mean?
Each badge on the profile cards represents a different layer of verification.
The therapist's identity details are recorded and checked in our system.
The therapist uploads an identity document (ID card, passport or residence permit) through a secure upload flow. Documents are stored encrypted, and only authorized members of our team can access them, for review purposes. The badge is granted once the name and the document are confirmed to match.
The profile photos have been assessed as belonging to the person providing the service.
Our team reviews the uploaded photos for a generic or stock-photo look, consistency and a match with the profile details. Suspicious photos, and photos that do not belong to the person, are rejected.
Our editorial team has written a quality assessment for this profile.
There is deliberately no user review or rating system, because of the risk of manipulation. Instead, our team carries out an editorial review: it evaluates the service, and only profiles with a positive outcome receive an editorial quality comment and the badge. Because our capacity is limited, not every profile has it.
How to Find a Trustworthy Massage Therapist
Using the badges and the information on the profile, you can make a safe choice in five steps.
- 1
Compare profiles on the city page
Open the page for your city and compare profiles side by side: massage types, languages, prices and place of service.
- 2
Check the badges
The "Identity Verified" and "Tested Service" badges are the strongest trust signals. You can find the criteria for each badge earlier on this page.
- 3
Confirm the price and place of service on the profile
The price, working hours and place of service (their own place or your address) are clearly stated on every profile. Do not trust a promise that is not on the profile.
- 4
Clarify your expectations by phone
Before the appointment, confirm the scope, duration and price of the session by phone or WhatsApp. A professional therapist answers these questions clearly.
- 5
Do not pay anyone who asks for a deposit or advance payment
A request to transfer money before the appointment, as a deposit, advance payment or "travel fee", is a common sign of a scam. Always pay at the time of service. If you encounter such a request, report it to us through the Report a Violation page.
Prohibited Content Policy
letsmassage.net lists professional massage only. No sexual service is offered, requested or implied. Profiles that violate this rule are removed following review by our team or a report, and repeated violations lead to permanent account closure. We also expect visitors to follow this rule and not to make inappropriate requests.
