Hi — I’m Alissa (“uh-LEE-suh”) Gee (she/her)

I'm so pleased to be here with you, now... and when we meet for your 1st or your 20th cuddle session with me.

As a Black woman based primarily in Detroit, MI, I am excited to expand the client-led platonic cuddling field here! I hope to spearhead a close and cuddly culture in our city. Whether you’re someone who carries a lot of responsibility, or someone who’s simply touch-starved and tired, you’re welcome here.

I want the benefits of cuddle therapy to be available, accessible, and comfortable for all sorts of folks in this very diverse metropolitan area. I believe these benefits are especially needed within our communities of color to:

Develop touch literacy to ask and stand for what you want.

Cuddling is a superpower that in our current culture and society is not accessible to everyone, but should be!

As you settle into your body, it often becomes easier to notice and communicate what you want and need. If that’s part of what you’d like from our time together, we can support that too — gently, at your pace. It would be an honor to work with you.

I look forward to connecting with you very soon!

P.S. I came to Cuddlist originally as a researcher back in 2017. It changed my life. I was surprised that my first experience shifted how I understood my body and what it feels like to be safely held without expectation. Once I felt that, I became an advocate for consent-based connection — and a practitioner. 

Once you submit a request, I schedule a short video consultation for new clients.

If we book, the consult fee is applied to your first session

If we do not book, the consult fee is non-refundable

Sessions are client-led and consent-based. We start with a check-in, review boundaries, and agree on what kind of touch (if any) you want that day. Touch is always optional and adjustable. You can change your mind at any time.

body doubling (calm virtual presence while you work or organize)

regulated breathing / grounding practices

resting quietly (including being held, if mutually agreed)

or simply sharing calm presence without touch

In addition to the Cuddlist Code of Conduct:

ongoing consent and communication are required you are always in charge of your body and your boundaries

Payment details and cancellation expectations will be reviewed during the consultation and confirmed before booking.

Detroit is my primary location. I also travel periodically for work, most often to Northern California (Marin/Bay Area), Southern California (LA), and the Newark / NYC-area. If you’re outside Detroit, send a request with your city and preferred dates and I’ll let you know if I’m scheduling sessions there. I’ll share travel updates here as they’re confirmed.
