Celia

02 Who arrives

Celia, and how she works.

Three things are worth knowing and she volunteers none of them: the Spanish alongside the English, the twenty-five years, and the Centrum address that puts her in a lift within the hour of a confirmation. What she does offer is a room that has warmed up before anyone has taken off a coat. Working with another therapist she is instinctive rather than choreographed, she watches, she adjusts, and the choreography turns up anyway. Couples book her for evenings that run long, dinner first on occasion, the room well after, nothing about the night with a fixed end to it.

Celia decides which bookings she takes and may decline any of them; she sets the limits for what a session includes, says what they are, and may end a visit at any point, as the terms set out.

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