Booking Guidance
When should I expect a response from you?
I aim to respond to all booking inquiries within 24 hours, but definitely within 48 hours.
Advance bookings
Do you accept advance or short notice bookings?
While I do try to accomodate short notice requests, it might not always be possible. I ask for all dates to be booked at least 24h in advance, but longer notice is recommended to avoid disappointment. Read more answers to FAQ here.
Screening
Why do I need to provide screening information?
All new clients are kindly asked to complete a brief screening process. This step is vital to ensure our mutual safety and peace of mind. Please know this is solely for my protection, with no intention to invade your privacy. As an independent provider, feeling safe allows me to offer my best, and I deeply appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Rest assured, your information remains strictly confidential and is promptly deleted after our appointment. I look forward to connecting with those who respect and value this important process.
What screening information do you accept?
Please provide one of the following:
1) For UK or EU nationals, a copy of an authorised form of ID (driving license/ passport/ national ID card). For clients outside the EU, please send me a selfie holding your ID. Please blur any sensible information or codes. I only need to see your picture, your name, date of birth and expiry date.
OR
2) A logged in screenshot of your active LinkedIn professional or company profile with your profile picture
OR
3) A reference from another companion you have seen, with an active social media presence and website (please make sure to ask for permission before doing this).
OR
4) Your business website clearly linked with your name and with a visible picture, along with an empty email sent from your business email to verify your identity.
For hotel meetings, please provide a copy of your hotel booking confirmation email.
I do not under any circumstances offer video calls. Selfies alone or other pictures of you are not a valid form of screening either.
Deposits
Why do you require a deposit?
As with any industry, booking an appointment requires a deposit to secure the allocated time. Your appointment will be confirmed only after the deposit has been successfully processed. This is to ensure I make myself available only for you for the requested time and date.
How much is the deposit?
A deposit is 30%- 40% is required for all bookings. The amount depends on the lenght of the booking or whether I am on tour.
How to pay a deposit?
- Bank transfer to my discreetly named UK business account. Please send it from a bank account registered under the name shown on the ID/ LinkedIn provided. For international transfers, I accept Wise.
- Virtual vouchers/ e-gift cards that suit my current needs, such as Amazon, Selfridges or Uber. Your appointment will be confirmed only after the deposit has been successfully processed. Kindly send it from an email that displays the name as it appears on your ID or LinkedIn profile.
- All major cryptocurrencies.
Cancellation policy
What happens if I cancel a booking?
I do understand life sometimes gets in the way. Please read carefully my cancellation
policy and do get in contact if you need clarification.
If you cancel within 24 hours of our booking, please transfer the remaining balance. If you miss an appointment without notice or cancel more than twice consecutively, future booking opportunities may be forfeited. Your deposit is non-refundable but can be transferred once to a mutually convenient date.
Is my deposit refundable?
Deposits are non-refundable and transferable once unless in the rare occasion when I
have to cancel the appointment. If you have not used the deposit within the following month, it will be considered forfeit.
What happens if you cancel a booking?
In the event that I need to cancel, you can choose either a reschedule or ask for a deposit refund.
Payment etiquette
When should I pay the fee?
The 30- 40% deposit is to be paid at the time of booking. The balance for my companionship must always be paid in cash in the local currency, in the first 5 to 10 minutes of our meeting, unless we’ve agreed otherwise. This is an industry standard and I would like it to come from your initiative.
How do you want to receive the fee?
If meeting in public, discreetly present the cash, such as in an unsealed envelope tucked into a card, book, or gift bag. The agreed fee covers the companion’s time and company only.
You can choose to send the entire fee by bank transfer in full before our meeting. We can only proceed with the date if the payment has already reached my account before we begin.
Conduct, Hygiene and Health
What do I need to know about the above?
Kindly ensure you are freshly showered and maintain cleanliness before our meeting. I maintain the right to conclude our date prematurely if there are significant health or hygiene concerns. Respectful and courteous behavior is expected at all times. Any harassment, discrimination, or harmful conduct will lead to an immediate cessation of service without a refund.
