Body to body massage in Amsterdam, safe to fix from a distance
Body-to-Body Massage
Body to body massage is full contact oil work, in which the therapist uses her whole body as well as her hands to spread warmth and pressure. Unlike nuru, it uses oil rather than gel, and nothing has to be rinsed off in a shower afterwards. For a traveller booking from home, that difference is decisive: body to body asks nothing of the bathroom and very little of the room, so it can be fixed weeks ahead with no knowledge of the hotel beyond its name. It carries much of the intensity of the gel formats with none of their dependence on plumbing, which is why planners who are unsure of their hotel so often choose it.
Where it comes from
Body to body work developed from ordinary oil massage in several places at once, with versions associated with Thai and wider Asian bathhouse culture. Its modern European form is simple: the vocabulary of oil strokes, with the body replacing the hands for the longer passes, which spreads pressure over a much wider area.
How it is worked
Broad contact is the principle. Where oil massage concentrates pressure through the palm, body to body spreads it over forearms and torso, so the pressure feels wide and even rather than pointed. Oil keeps the glide smooth, and she moves slowly, in long runs from shoulder to foot, with the pace set by the guest's breathing rather than by any fixed sequence.
What the hour holds
She arrives, puts down towels, warms the room and talks briefly about the session and about her limits, which she names in her own words and keeps to throughout. The oil goes on warm, and the first part of the session looks much like an ordinary oil massage. Gradually the contact widens, with forearms and then the whole body used for long, slow passes. The pace stays steady and unhurried. Afterwards a towel is enough, and the room is left as it was found.
Who asks for it
The planner who wants intensity but does not know the hotel. Guests put off nuru by the rinse. Anyone who has booked oil work before and wants the next step, arranged from home before the next trip.
What it leaves you with
A deep, enveloping warmth that ordinary massage cannot reach, without any of the practical fuss of gel or foam. For planners, the benefit is certainty: this is a strong format that will work in any room they happen to be given.

Questions
What separates body to body from nuru?
Nuru uses a slippery gel that has to be rinsed off in a shower. Body to body uses warm oil and needs nothing more than towels afterwards. That makes body to body the safer choice when booking from abroad without knowing the bathroom.
Is it suitable as a first booking with the house?
Yes. It is more intense than ordinary oil work but asks nothing unusual of the room or of the guest. A first booking carries the half deposit in any case, whatever the technique.
Will the oil stain the hotel bed?
She covers the bed with her own towels before starting, so the hotel sheets stay clean. Any oil left on the skin comes off with a towel or a quick shower, whichever you prefer.
