Welcome! 

Nice to have you on here! Following is a list I have compiled as an invitation into alignment about working together.


Summary of Values/Qualities/Traits/Practices 

🌞 You are open minded - I am open minded.

🌞 You value clear communication - I value clear communication.

🌞 You would like to soften and slow down - I am practicing softening and slowing down.

🌞 You are looking to heal yourself, ground and reset your nervous system through platonic gentle touch - I am trained in the art of facilitating platonic gentle touch.

🌞 You understand that in working with me you are entering into a professional relationship, with you as the client and me as the Cuddlist facilitating practitioner - I will behave toward you in the most respectful, competent and caring way available to me, based on my knowledge, training and experience.

If you believe the above applies to what you are looking for, I encourage you to review the rest of my profile.

Session goals 

My goal is to embody the following qualities in each Cuddlist session and share them with you:

⭐ Discovery
⭐ Curiosity
⭐ Softness
⭐ Respect 
⭐ Warmth
⭐ Taking it slow
⭐ Kindness
⭐ Empowerment
⭐ Safety
⭐ Unconditional positive regard

Each session is led by you with gentle boundary setting and encouragement from me, all throughout the session.

I will support you through any emotions that may come up and create a space where it feels safe to share and where your nervous system can tune into the "rest-and-digest" state. I promise to listen without judgement and uphold my boundaries and your boundaries firmly and respectfully.

If either of us is uncomfortable during the session, I commit to having difficult conversations with compassion and transparency. Our client-practitioner relationship depends on each of us taking responsibility for our own part, and always working on finding the mutual "yes" in the way we interact.

Session Scheduling information 

After I receive your request for a Cuddlist session, I will respond via email within 48 hours and we will proceed to schedule a 20-minute Zoom call at no cost to you. During the Zoom call, we will discuss your goals for the Cuddlist session, your boundaries, my boundaries, and decide next steps together. 

Usual schedule time frames for the Zoom calls are after 6 pm, Monday through Friday. Weekends may have availability depending on timing - please ask.

In-person sessions are held at a dedicated session space in Manhattan. 

Integration calls after an in-person session are available via Zoom. Integration Zoom sessions are made available as a virtual space to share any insights that came up during the last in-person session in terms of any feelings that need to be expressed, also what worked and what needs to be different to help calibrate the next in-person session.

All communication is done using email, Zoom calls and in person. This communication approach is chosen on purpose and supports the energy of slowing down. 

I do not provide emergency or urgent type of support and if this is what you are looking for, please let me know if you'd like me to suggest alternative services that may be of assistance.

Payment Information 

When scheduling a Cuddlist in-person session, payment is due in full, 48 hours prior to the session in order to confirm the reservation for the session space. If payment is not received 28 hours prior to the in-person session, the session is automatically canceled and will need to be rescheduled. 

When scheduling a Cuddlist Zoom integration session, payment is due in full, 24 hours prior to the session in order to secure the appointment time. If payment is not received 8 hours prior to the in-person session, the session is automatically canceled and will need to be rescheduled. 

I accept Venmo, Zelle and major credit cards.

Session Space

The session space is located within walking distance of the 34th St - Herald Square subway stop (B, D, F, M, N, Q, R, W subway lines). The session is held in a private, cozy room in an ADA accessible healing focused location and it's scent-free. Shoes must be taken off before entering the room and volume control must be observed when speaking outside the room as there may be other healing sessions happening at the same time. There is access to a public waiting area, a tiny kitchen and restrooms.

Session Details

When you arrive for your session, we'll spend the first 5 to 10 minutes of the session by going through the code of conduct and opening agreement to ensure we co-create a mutually safe space together. 

Each session is 60 minutes with a 5-minute grace period.

Promotions

Each new client receives the NEW-CLIENT promotion which includes a promotional rate for the first in-person session and one free stress ball. The promotional rate is the minimum nationwide Cuddlist hourly rate. After the first session, the default session hourly rate applies to any future sessions going forward.

As part of the NEW-CLIENT promotion, after the first in-person session, one 20-minute Zoom call can be scheduled at no cost to you, to further integrate and process the experiences of the first in-person session in a safe virtual space.

After the first in-person session, the default session hourly rate applies going forward to both Zoom calls and in-person sessions which fall outside of the NEW-CLIENT promotion outlined above.

Session packages of 3 sessions are available for purchase at a discounted rate with an expiration date of 1 year from the date of purchase and follow the same cancelation policy as the individual sessions.

If you're interested in acquiring the Cuddlist certification for yourself, you can receive a discount on the training by accessing here for my affiliate link. I will also receive a small monetary bonus when you use my affiliate link, at no cost to you.

Session Code of Conduct

Please arrive clean, sober, healthy, and on time. For you to be able to fully consent, you need to be fully present. If you are feeling under the weather, please reschedule.

The full Cuddlist Code of Conduct is found by accessing here. Please read it carefully. 

When the Code of Conduct is breached during a session, whatever activities were occurring at the moment immediately stop and a verbal discussion occurs to resolve the breach in a gentle way. The Code of Conduct is reviewed again with you, after which the session continues. More than two breaches of conduct in one session will result in the session being terminated with no refunds.

Lateness Policy 

If you are late more than 5 minutes to a Zoom call without a reasonable advance notification, the Zoom call will be canceled and will need to be rescheduled. Please note that I may not be able to extend the Zoom call time even if there is advance notification and the Zoom call might still need to be rescheduled.

If you are late more than 5 minutes to an in-person session, the session time cannot be extended due to the space rental time limit and the session will still need to end 60 minutes after the scheduled session start time plus the 5-minute grace period mentioned previously.

Cancelation Policy

Cancelation requests received more than 28 hours prior to the start of an in-person session will be refunded in full within 48 hours of the cancelation request.

Cancelation requests received less than 28 hours prior to the start of an in-person session will result in a $50 last minute cancelation fee and the amount paid minus the last minute cancelation fee will be refunded within 48 hours of the cancelation request.

Cancelation requests received prior to the starting time of a Zoom session will be refunded in full within 48 hours of the cancelation request.

There is no refund if the cancelation request is received after the starting time of the in-person session or after the starting time of the Zoom session. In other words, no shows and no prior notification results in the full session fee being charged to your account without any refunds.
