Body to body, gel from shoulder to ankle
From €180/hr · In-room at your hotel · 24/7
This suits someone who wants full contact without the apparatus — no waterproof sheet, no gel to warm, nothing to rinse off at the end. Warm oil, skin, and the therapist's weight distributed along the length of you rather than concentrated in two hands. It is the plainest form of the idea, and a number of our guests prefer it for exactly that reason.
What to expect
Oil is warmed and used sparingly, because too much of it turns the work into something else. The therapist starts with the hands, establishes a rhythm, then lets her forearms and torso take the long strokes while the hands keep the detail. Pressure stays even and slow and the contact is broad rather than pointed, so the hour reads as one passage instead of a sequence of moves. Towels are changed as it goes.
Who it suits
It suits someone who wants the whole of the contact and none of the preparation, and it travels well to a room that cannot be got very warm. Two hours, or an overnight, is where it is most itself.
What it leaves you with
A general, unfussy release through the back and the legs, and the specific calm that follows an hour of uninterrupted contact.
Origin
Working with the forearm, the elbow and the practitioner's own weight is the oldest answer to a plain problem: hands tire, and a broad surface carries pressure further than a narrow one. Traditional Asian bodywork solved it by leaning rather than pressing — Thai practice puts body weight into the stroke, and ashiatsu goes as far as using the feet. Body-to-body is the same answer arrived at without apparatus: oil instead of gel, contact instead of leverage.
The technique itself
Oil is warmed and used sparingly — enough to glide, not enough to float — and the first few minutes are hands only, while a rhythm is found. After that the forearms and the torso take the long strokes and the hands keep the detail. The guest's only real task is to stop holding himself in position: weight that is given up is weight the stroke can move, while weight that is braced meets the stroke and stops it. Breathing slows to the pace of the passes without being asked to, and that is usually the point at which the hour turns.

Does the room need to be as warm as it does for nuru?
It helps, but this format is far less sensitive to it. Warm oil on skin holds its heat where a thin film of gel does not, and towels are changed as the hour goes on. If the heating in your room is slow or unreliable, this is the technique to choose.
Can I ask for firmer pressure?
Yes, and say so early. Firmness here comes from how much weight is leaned into the stroke rather than from thumbs and knuckles, so it can be increased a long way without becoming sharp. It will not turn into a deep-tissue treatment, and it is not meant to.
Is this one of the formats that can run overnight?
It is. An overnight is a fixed block of eight hours at €1,250. Below that the ladder runs €180 for an hour, €270 for ninety minutes, €360 for two hours and €540 for three, with each further hour beyond three at €180.
