Welcome! Thank you for stopping by. I look forward to hearing from you if what I have written below resonates with you :) 

✨ I  highly value the power of touch and the profound sense of well-being in the afterglow of a session. The gentle act of holding and being held can be so harmonizing and grounding. It is through touch, presence, and connection that we can explore a safe and nurturing space together. 

🤍 My motivation stems from the understanding of the Ancient Greek love terms, agape and philia. Agape, the selfless and unconditional love, fuels my passion to provide a safe and nurturing space for individuals to experience the healing power of touch. It is through agape that I am driven to offer comfort, support, and acceptance to those seeking solace and connection. Additionally, philia, the deep friendship and camaraderie, inspires me to build meaningful relationships with my clients, fostering trust and intimacy. I am dedicated to creating a sanctuary of warmth and compassion, where individuals can find solace and experience the transformative power of human connection.

🫂 With a Master's degree in early childhood education, my background has instilled in me a wealth of soothing skills derived from working with a younger demographic. However, platonic care-filled touch and co-regulation are fundamental human needs that transcend age boundaries. My ultimate objective is to create a secure and welcoming space where both you and I can simply be. 


✨ An important element in the realm of cuddle therapy is communication regarding touch. I welcome open and honest discussions about boundaries, preferences, and comfort levels, and hope our sessions will be a space where you can practice expressing your platonic touch desires, even if it may not be something that I can provide for you in that moment. By establishing clear communication, we can create a safe and nurturing space where trust and respect flourish.

I want you to know that your personal boundaries are highly valued and will be fully respected during our sessions. In return, I expect the same level of respect from you. By prioritizing safety, trust, and respect, we can ensure that our sessions are truly successful and fulfilling for both of us. ✨ 

🫶🏼 If you are seeking the therapeutic benefits of cuddling, I encourage you to reach out. We will first meet in a video chat that I will host through Zoom or Googlemeet. This allows us to establish a connection and gives me an opportunity to better understand your needs and preferences. Your well-being and comfort are my top priorities, and this initial communication helps create a foundation of trust. 

Manhattan and Brooklyn are home and I travel! I have a car in the city and will gladly be a guest in your home be it you live in Connecticut, Long Island or New Jersey.  To cover the costs associated with travel, I have a travel fee calculation. This includes $5 per 30 miles, an hourly rate of $25, tolls, and any parking fees that may apply. I am happy to negotiate total cost with you if the travel fee plus session time makes a session financially unfeasable. 

Outside of the Tri-State Area, I make trips to Boston, Chicago, and Washington D.C. on a regular  rotation. Sometimes I will drive between Boston and Washington D.C. so if you are in between NY and those places, let me know! I am happy to make a cuddle stop along the route of my travels.  

🌤️Hosting - When I host I try to distribute the daily rental fee evenly across all parties. It’s typically about $25/hr additionally. Happy to answer any questions during our preliminary zoom chat :)
