Prices have shifted a lot over the last couple of years, and it’s one of the questions new therapists ask most, so let’s gather some real numbers.
What do you charge for 60- and 90-minute sessions? It helps to say:
- the type of massage (sports, deep tissue, Swedish, Thai…)
- where you work: clinic, home studio, spa or mobile
- roughly which part of London
- whether you’ve changed your prices recently, and how clients reacted
No need to share anything you’re not comfortable with. Ranges are fine. 🙂

I'm currently working at a spa in central London, so the prices are set by management rather than individual therapists. A 60-minute treatment is generally around £90–£110, with 90 minutes costing roughly £130–£160, depending on the treatment.
I'm also considering going part-time self-employed, and pricing is one of the things I'm trying to work out. I've seen independent therapists charging anything from £60 to over £100 for an hour, especially around central London.
My concern is that once you factor in room rental, laundry, insurance, products and the gaps between appointments, £60 doesn't leave quite as much as people might think.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's moved from spa employment to working independentlyy.

I'm in SW London and rent a room by the session rather than monthly. When I first set my prices I only thought about what other therapists charged. Took me a while to realise the room fee, towels and quiet midweek slots eat more than I expected.
For a 60-minute massage I'm at £75–£85 depending on the day. 90 minutes is £110–£120. That feels about right for where I am, but I'm curious what people charge if they go mobile instead of renting.
