By Mei Han, massage therapist in Dubai Updated 3 October 2026
With me, private massage means one thing: a quiet, one-to-one, strictly professional massage — non-sexual, with proper draping and nothing beyond massage — at your home, hotel or my studio, with no uncertainty about who will arrive. I am Mei, an independent female massage therapist, and “private” here describes the setting and the personal attention, nothing else. Prices are in the table below.
The practical details first
You speak with me directly on WhatsApp, and your standard appointment is with me. Before confirming, we agree the location, time, duration, treatment and total price. I work daily from 10:00 to 23:00, by appointment, and same-day bookings are often possible when my route allows.
| Duration | Home or hotel | Studio |
|---|---|---|
| 60 minutes | AED 400 | AED 300 |
| 90 minutes | AED 600 | AED 450 |
| 120 minutes | AED 800 | AED 600 |
There is no deposit. Payment is mainly in cash after the appointment, with bank transfer available on request; the pricing page has the full detail. Both women and men are welcome.
For a home or hotel visit, I bring my massage blanket for your bed, clean linens and oils. You do not need a spa room or a narrow massage table. A bed with access from one side gives a stable, comfortable surface, and the clean linens and proper draping create the working setup. My what to expect page shows the sequence from arrival to payment.
If these details answer your main questions, message me on WhatsApp with your area, preferred time and duration. You can ask a question first without committing to a booking.
What private and professional look like in practice
Privacy is not a vague promise. It means I ask only for the information needed to plan the appointment, arrive at the confirmed time and location, and keep the session focused on the massage you chose. I do not need a long personal history or unrelated details.
For a home visit, you choose the room. You may have another adult at home if that helps you feel at ease. If sharing your home address does not feel right, ask about the studio before deciding. I can explain the practical arrangement on WhatsApp without pressuring you to book.
Every session uses proper draping. You remain covered apart from the agreed area being worked on, and you can ask for a change of pressure, position, technique or draping. You can request a pause or stop the session immediately without having to justify the decision.
The appointment is strictly professional from the first message to the end. Clear boundaries protect both client and therapist, and they should feel ordinary rather than dramatic. You are also free to ask who will arrive, what I bring, what clothing is practical and how payment works before sharing a full address.
For a first appointment, you can keep the exchange short and factual. Ask me to repeat the agreed details in one message: Mei as the therapist, home/hotel or studio, the chosen duration, the treatment, the time and the total. That confirmation gives you a simple checklist before I travel and prevents the uncertainty that comes from relying on a vague verbal arrangement.
My home massage hygiene guide explains the linens, hand hygiene and setup in more detail. For first-time clients, a specific answer is more useful than a broad claim, so please ask if one part of the process is still unclear.
Home, hotel or studio: which setting suits you?
A home visit suits people who want to rest immediately afterwards, avoid another drive or stay in familiar surroundings. It is especially practical after a demanding workday, a long commute or training. You provide a suitable bed and a little privacy; I bring the working linens, blanket and oils.
A hotel visit costs the same as a home visit. Hotel visitor rules differ, so check the property policy before confirming. Some properties ask a guest to provide visitor details or meet them in the lobby. Share the hotel name when you first enquire; the room number can wait until the appointment time and access route are confirmed.
The studio is the cheaper option and suits someone who prefers a separate, neutral setting: you lie on a large bed made for clients, made up with the same massage blanket and fresh linens. I do not publish the full address on the website. Ask for the approximate location first so you can decide whether the trip is practical; the arrival details are shared with a confirmed appointment.
The price difference reflects the location and travel, not a lower standard of care. The same six massage options are available in both settings, subject to what is suitable for you.
Choose the massage by outcome, not by jargon
You do not need to diagnose yourself or pick a technical label. Tell me whether you want focused pressure for recurring muscle tension, a calmer session to switch off, recovery around training or gentle comfort-focused work.
- Deep tissue uses slower, focused work for stubborn muscular tightness.
- Swedish & relaxation uses flowing work and comfortable pressure for whole-body relaxation.
- Sports & recovery supports active bodies, mobility and post-training recovery.
- Prenatal & postnatal uses careful positioning for suitable pregnancy and post-birth comfort.
- Lymphatic drainage uses gentle, measured movements for circulation and swelling support; it does not detox the body or cause weight loss.
- Aromatherapy combines a relaxing massage with suitable scented oils when preferred.
These are the only six treatments I offer. The session is adapted within the chosen style after we discuss pressure, areas to focus on and areas to avoid. A useful booking message can be as simple as, “My shoulders feel tight and I want a calm 90-minute session.”
Massage can help ease everyday muscular tension and support relaxation, but it does not replace medical assessment. Persistent or severe pain, numbness, pain travelling down an arm or leg, unexplained swelling or a recent injury should be assessed by a doctor or physiotherapist first. If you are pregnant, recently gave birth or had a recent procedure, ask your doctor or midwife before booking when appropriate and tell me before the appointment.
A clear booking from the first message
To check a home appointment, send your Dubai area, preferred day and time, duration and the result you want from the session. A hotel guest should send the property name but can wait to share a room number until the time and visitor process are confirmed. For the studio, ask for the approximate location before choosing it.
I reply myself and confirm what is practical. Once we agree the details, the WhatsApp conversation gives you a written record of who is coming, where, when, for how long and at what price. There is no account, online checkout or deposit.
You do not have to decide immediately after asking a question. Read the confirmation, check the route or hotel policy if relevant, and reply when you are comfortable. If the setting, price or process does not suit you, it is better to know before either of us plans the trip.
If you need to change the time, message as soon as you can. If I cannot fit the requested slot, I will offer a realistic alternative rather than presenting an unconfirmed time as booked.
Private massage should feel straightforward: one female therapist, a clearly agreed professional session and no surprises about the setting or cost. Message me on WhatsApp with your location preference, duration and ideal time, or read about Mei first if you want to know more about the person you are inviting into your space.

Here, private massage means a one-to-one professional appointment with Mei in your home, hotel or her studio. It includes clear communication, proper draping and your right to change pressure, pause or stop. The word private describes the setting and personal attention; the service remains strictly professional.

Who comes to my home for the appointment?
Your standard appointment is with Mei Han, the independent female therapist you speak with on WhatsApp. She confirms the time, location, duration, treatment and price directly before arriving. Both women and men are welcome, and appointments are available daily from 10:00 to 23:00 by appointment.
What stays covered during a private massage?
Proper draping is used throughout. You remain covered apart from the agreed area being worked on, and you can ask for the draping, position or pressure to change. You can also wear whatever helps you feel comfortable and ask to pause or stop at any time.
Can I ask privacy questions before I share my address?
Yes. Ask about arrival, draping, payment, setup or the studio before sharing a full address. To check availability, your Dubai area, preferred time and duration are enough. Once you decide to book a home visit, Mei will ask for the practical building and arrival details she needs.
