Tanya, 27

Tanya, 27, is a dark-haired masseuse whose sessions in Podil, Kiev, have a small but loyal following. At 164 cm she has an easy, unhurried presence, and she reads the mood of a guest before a single word is said.

She works at Velvet, a VIP-level salon in Podil, and offers classic, body-to-body and tantric erotic massage. A session starts around $1800 and is always private and discreet — no rush, no small talk you didn’t ask for. She recently joined the catalogue and slots fill quickly.
