02 Who arrives

Celeste, and how she works.

A person who needed to be the most interesting one present could not work the way she does, and in Portuguese or English she says about half of what a room expects. Reading a couple takes her a minute — who is tense about the whole idea, who did the booking — and she adjusts alongside the other therapist without a word passing between them. Jordaan apartments are small, and she treats that as an advantage rather than a constraint. Ninety minutes is what she suggests when asked; the hour, she says, ends just as the two of you have stopped thinking.

She works outcall only — your hotel room, your serviced apartment, your own flat. Twenty to thirty minutes across the centre once the booking is settled, at any hour. Schiphol airport hotels are by arrangement.
