Sophia

Greek and English, both unhurried and neither of them decorative. The canal ring is memorised, including which hotels have a lift and which have four flights. Heavy, slow work: weight moved rather than applied, one hand kept in contact throughout. That unbroken contact is the whole of body-to-body, and she treats it as a rule rather than a style. Overnights and dinner first are the bookings she prefers; the single hour is the shortest she cares for.

Sophia 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 Jordaan, and she does not keep a studio. Sessions run from a single hour to the eight-hour overnight.
