£300 / hour Renée
More standing weekly bookings than anyone else here. Draw your own conclusion.
Thursday, gone six, and the name in Renée's column is the same one that was there last Thursday, and the Thursday before that. She holds more standing weekly appointments than anyone here, and nobody keeps a recurring hour in the diary for novelty. They keep it because week after week she is exactly as good as the last time — and for a certain kind of guest, that reliability is the whole product.
Her nuru and body to body run close to Noor's in format but a few degrees warmer in the room. Renée chats in the margins, remembers the thing you mentioned in March, picks a session up where the last one left off. Sounds small. Her regulars will tell you it's the opposite of small — with her the hour feels less like an appointment and more like a habit you're glad you kept.
A word of honest advice: don't ask about a fixed weekly slot on your first visit. Come twice, see if the fit is real, then ask — she keeps a short waiting list and I'd rather it hold names that will stay. Rules identical on visit one and visit fifty: it's massage, and the touching goes one way. £300, the same every week.
Same hour every Thursday for a good while now. Holds the week together better than the gym did, and I cancel it less.
When you can get her
- Standing bookings fill her evenings — new evening guests wait longest.
- Tuesday to Thursday, one till six, is the honest window for a newcomer.
- A fixed weekly hour becomes possible after a couple of visits, not before.
- Most Saturdays yes; Sundays never.
Ask about a fixed weekly slot after your second visit, not your first.
What she is booked for
Asking for Renée
How do I actually get one of her regular weekly slots, is there a list?
There is, and it's short. Visit twice first, then ask — that's the order she prefers. Evenings queue longest; afternoons come up faster.
First nuru — her or Noor? Genuinely can't decide from the pages.
Either is a safe pair of hands. Noor is the more exacting technician on the mat; Renée is the easier company. If nerves are your bigger variable, Renée. If the format itself is what fascinates you, Noor.

The others
£350 / hour Elise
Books out first, week in, week out. If it's Friday you want, ask on Monday.
£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.
