£350 / hour Yana
Daytime by choice — the eleven and two o'clock slots are usually hers.
Yana is where I send the nervous ones, and she'd be within her rights to charge me commission. She has a way of making a first visit feel almost dull, administratively speaking — this is the room, nothing is about to be sprung on you — and you can watch people stop bracing, sometimes before her hands have done anything at all.
She works days on purpose. There's a particular guest who has arranged a long lunch and would rather not book anything after dark — for them, an unhurried daytime hour with Yana, done and back at the desk by three, is the entire appeal. Bayswater helps: her room is a quiet door in W2, easy to reach and easy to leave.
Her regulars call her sessions kind rather than intense, and at £350 that's exactly what you're paying for — settling a person is rarer work than impressing one. If it's intensity you're chasing, Elise or Anouk will serve you better, and I'll say so before you book. Every first-timer hears the house rules from her plainly and once: your hands stay your own, and a word from you stops anything.
I had my excuse ready for the first ten minutes, in case. Forgot all about it somewhere in the second.
When you can get her
- Weekdays eleven till five — the daytime is honestly hers.
- Evenings are the exception; don't build a plan around one.
- Ask before ten in the morning and a same-day daytime slot often works.
- Daytime hotel visits in central London suit her diary well.
Good with people who've never done this and would rather not have to say so.
What she is booked for
Asking for Yana
First time doing anything like this and I'd rather not chat much through nerves. Will that be awkward with her?
Not remotely. Say it once at the start, or put it in the form, and she'll keep instructions minimal and chat at zero. Nerves are her home ground.
If her sessions are on the gentle side, why is she one of the £350 ones?
Because settling a tense first-timer well is harder graft than pressing hard. Rates here track experience, and hers shows most in the visits that could have gone wrong and didn't.

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.
Book Yana
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.
