Nico

De Pijp she likes for the noise of the market and the height of its old rooms. The work is structural rather than soothing: Nico finds the place carrying the load and stays with it until it stops carrying it. Repetition until the legs give up holding on, which at twenty-five she can keep going for three hours. Two hours suits her and an overnight suits her better, for reasons she does not go into. Airport hotels she will travel out to when it is arranged in advance.

Nico 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 across central Amsterdam, most often around De Pijp, and she does not keep a studio. Sessions run from a single hour to the eight-hour overnight.
