£350 / hour Elise
Books out first, week in, week out. If it's Friday you want, ask on Monday.
Elise's hands are the heaviest in the building, and I mean that as the compliment her regulars mean it. Warm, with real weight that stays put — she came up through classical massage and never lost the pressure. People book a tantric hour expecting to be wafted over. Ten minutes in, they know better.
Her regulars are men who arrive knackered, carrying the whole week between their shoulder blades, and what they describe afterwards is the feeling of something being worked out of them rather than floated over. Time runs quick on her table. More than one guest has sworn blind the hour was forty minutes and asked me to check the clock.
If the lightest possible touch is what you're after she isn't your woman — Marta is, and I'd sooner send you there than have you leave underwhelmed. Said plainly once, as it is on every page here: this is massage, Elise isn't touched in return, and a word from you changes the pressure or stops it. The £350 is the finished figure.
I gave up calling it relaxing. It's more like being put right, slowly, by someone who knows where it's all gone wrong.
When you can get her
- First diary to fill, every week — ask Monday for a Friday evening.
- Weekday afternoons, two till six, are where the honest gaps sit.
- Four hands wants two days of notice; a second diary has to agree with hers.
- Couples she takes at weekends, never past an eight o'clock start.
Classical massage first, this work after — the pressure never left her hands.
What she is booked for
Asking for Elise
Tried tantric massage once before and it felt like being dusted, no pressure at all. Is Elise honestly firmer or is that just the write-up?
Firmer, and by some distance. Say what pressure you want at the start and she'll hold it — she checks once, not every five minutes.
Can I ask for her plus a specific second therapist for four hands, or do you decide who pairs up?
Ask, by all means. Sofia and Camille pair with her most often. The diaries have the final say, so give us both names and two days.

The others
£300 / hour Noor
Runs the nuru side and won't start until the mat's properly warm. Quite right too.
£350 / hour Verity
Says the least of anyone in the building. Several regulars book her for exactly that.
£350 / hour Ines
If there are two of you, hers is the first name to consider.
£300 / hour Marta
The slowest hands in the house, and every bit of it deliberate.
£300 / hour Lena
Half her diary happens in hotels, and none of it rattles her.
£250 / hour Sofia
The strong pair of hands. Ask twice for firmer and firmer is what you'll get.
£300 / hour Camille
The constant half of most four hands bookings — she's what keeps two rhythms in time.
£300 / hour Anouk
Two hours is her true session. Book one and she'll think you stopped at the interval.
Book Elise
Name her in the message with a day and a time. If she is taken we will say so rather than quietly booking you with someone else.
