The house keeps no studio and publishes no incall address; the room you are in is the venue. Every booking happens in a hotel room or a private address across central Amsterdam.
A practice is usually described by its address. This one has none to offer. Every booked hour happens in a room that belongs to whoever booked it, a narrow double on the third floor of a canal house, a soundproofed room out towards the ring, a borrowed apartment with the key left in a box by the door. What the house keeps is not a place. It is a way of arriving at one.
A therapist arrives carrying a small bag, the way a guest coming back from dinner does. She goes to the room number you put in your message, and nobody says your name in a lift full of strangers. If your building asks visitors to be met in the lobby, say so when you write and the evening begins there.
Discretion, in a building full of strangers, is not a promise printed on a page. It is a small bag, a short written thread, and a booking that asks for nothing more than a room number and an hour.
Forty-five names are on the roster. A hotel room asks something particular of the person who walks into it: a space that is not hers, settled inside a few minutes, linens down and the ceiling light traded for the lamp by the bed, then an hour with no hurry in it. Each profile says in her own words how she likes to work, and each woman chooses the hours she is available and the bookings she takes.
Someone on the roster is free at every hour, and the rate on her profile is the same at three in the morning as at three in the afternoon. A good share of bookings falls between eleven at night and four in the morning, because that is when a body still running on another continent's clock finally admits it is not going to sleep.
The roster covers central Amsterdam and the districts inside the ring, which is where the hotels are and where forty to sixty minutes is a realistic figure rather than a hopeful one. The Schiphol airport hotels are by arrangement, with the journey time agreed with you before anything is fixed.
The house does four things: it takes your message, agrees the hour with you, arranges the visit and publishes the rates. The written conversation runs from your opening line to the confirmation, and a change of plan before she sets out goes into that same thread. Nobody transfers you, nobody asks you to ring a number, and nobody needs your surname, because a room and an hour are all a booking requires.
Each therapist decides for herself which bookings she takes, and she may decline one without giving a reason. Everyone who books, and everyone in the room, has to be twenty-one or over, and a therapist who cannot satisfy herself about the room does not go in. A room with someone else in it who is not part of the booking, a colleague asleep in the other bed for instance, does not work; saying so when you write lets the hour be moved. The figure on her profile is the whole price, and nothing is added at the door.
This site lists six techniques rather than twenty. Each one earned its place by surviving the trip upstairs intact: it fits in a single bag, suits a hotel mattress, and leaves nothing behind for the morning. Oil work, nuru, tantra and body to body cover the evening with one therapist, while four hands and the couples format cover the nights when two are needed. The full list of techniques describes each one and the kind of room it prefers, and anything not written there can simply be asked about.
The largest group comes by air: long-haul travellers who land in the evening, check in late, and find themselves wide awake at an hour when nothing downstairs is open. Next come the conference visitors, in town for three or four days of lanyards and dinners, who book in the narrow window between the last session and the first alarm. Couples on a short city break make up a steady share, usually on their second or third night. And a quieter group lives here already, in a flat with the curtains drawn, and simply prefers a visit to a journey.
The figure on her profile is the figure you pay, whether the clock reads three in the afternoon or three in the morning, and whether the room is a narrow single under the eaves or a top-floor suite. It covers her journey to the room and the session itself. Half is paid ahead for most bookings and the rest in the room, and what happens to that half if plans change is worked through on the cancellation page.
If you are still deciding whether to write, three pages will settle most of what remains. The roster of forty-five shows every therapist with her languages, her district and her rates. The cancellation policy works through the deposit with real figures. And the journal gathers short notes from the work itself: lifts that only move with a keycard, rooms without an inch of spare floor, the corridor at eleven at night.
Tonight
Name the room, the hour and how long you would like her there. The reply comes back in the same thread with who is free.
