That is a good question. Depending on how long the therapist has been qualified, whether you are in a clinic, hotel, your own home or the therapists home, a posh neighbourhood or a not so posh neighbourhood... it will vary a lot...

A high level establishment or a well-known teacher may charge £80-£100 (or the equivalent in $ of course)
