Because every treatment is delivered in-room—never at our own studio—we are exempt from Westminster’s “Special Treatment” premises licence, yet we still carry the same gold-standard protections and qualifications demanded by five-star concierges. Below you will find the key reassurance points, the signature massages on offer, and the practical information hoteliers need to add us to their preferred-supplier list.

All equipment—hydraulic table, cotton linens, disposable covers—arrives in a silent-wheel flight case to respect hotel corridors.
Hirudo Clinic’s mobile team combines medical-grade leech therapy for circulation, pain and post-surgical recovery with three Knightsbridge-only massage rituals inspired by the district’s Gulf heritage. Because every treatment happens in your hotel suite or residence, we sit outside Westminster’s Special Treatment Premises rules, yet we still hold £5 million PI/PL insurance, Level 3 diplomas, enhanced DBS checks and ICO-registered GDPR compliance—the gold standard concierges demand.
