Outcall, defined

Outcall names the direction of travel. You stay put. She moves. This house works no other way.

What the house does

Four things, and no more. It takes your message, agrees the hour with you, arranges the visit and publishes the rates. Whether a given booking is one she takes is the therapist's own call. Whatever the booked technique needs comes in by hand, in her bag, and no travel line is added for any central address.

What you bring

An address inside Amsterdam. A door she can reach. A phone that stays switched on. A warm room with space to work in. That list is complete, and it is kept short deliberately.

Almost anything with a bell qualifies. A hotel room. A rented flat. A houseboat on a canal. A fourth-floor apartment in a narrow house whose staircase resembles a ladder. The stairs and lifts entry handles that last case.

What the format asks of planning

Three consequences follow when the visitor travels and the client does not. First, there is no counter with a clock above it, so a booking runs on a window: forty to sixty minutes to a central address once the booking is confirmed. Second, a therapist sets that hour aside before anyone has met you, which is why most bookings carry a deposit of half the fee. Third, the directions have to be exact, because nobody at a reception counter can tell her where you are.

Exact means street and house number, the floor, the name printed on the bell, and anything odd about the way in. A side entrance. A keypad. A courtyard behind a gate. Write it once and write it correctly, and she rings at the right door first time.

Where coverage ends

The service area is Amsterdam itself. Schiphol and the airport hotels are by arrangement, with the journey time agreed with you before anything is fixed. No other town is covered, however close. For the contrast with a venue you travel to, read incall. For the longer account, the outcall guide covers the whole format.
