Body to body massage in Amsterdam with hearing or sight loss: signals, the room and the arrival
Guests who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have little or no sight, sometimes assume a body to body massage in Amsterdam is built for people who can follow spoken instructions or see the room around them. It is not, and the house's habit of arranging everything in writing happens to suit several of these guests unusually well.
the piece
A large share of the communication in this work is touch and timing rather than speech. Still, a few things are normally said aloud: where to lie, when to turn over, whether the pressure suits. For a guest who cannot hear those words, or cannot see the gestures that go with them, a little planning keeps the hour smooth from start to finish.
Booking in writing, from the first line
Every booking here is arranged in a written thread, so a deaf or hard-of-hearing guest needs no phone call at any stage. A blind or low-vision guest using a screen reader follows the same thread. Say what you need in the first message: that you will not hear a knock, that you would rather know by message when she reaches the corridor, that you use a cane and will meet her at the room door. The booking page lists the four facts every message carries.
Signals for a body to body massage in Amsterdam without spoken words
Agree a few simple signals before the session begins. A tap on the shoulder before she asks you to turn. One tap from you for lighter, two for firmer, a raised hand for a pause. Hearing aids and sound processors usually come off before oil is used, so even guests who hear well with them gain from settling the signals in advance. If you lip-read, ask her to speak to you face to face before you lie down, while you can still see her clearly.
Low vision and the room
For a guest with little sight, the room matters in a very practical way. She may need to move a chair, clear a space or lay towels on the floor. Ask her to describe where she is putting things, and to return them to where they stood before she leaves, so that a chair or a bag does not end up in your path later in the evening. If a guide dog is staying in the room, mention it in the thread so she knows before she arrives.
The arrival
She arrives forty to sixty minutes after the hour is agreed. A guest who will not hear the knock, or cannot see through a spyhole, can say so in the thread and agree in advance how her arrival will be signalled and how she will introduce herself. These are small adjustments and they are routine. The page on limited mobility covers stairs, lifts and buildings if those matter to you as well.
