Cuddling changed my life & I’d love to share that comfort with you. There’s real magic in slowing down, being held, and feeling your nervous system start to soften. If you’re longing for comfort, grounding, or simply a moment to breathe, I’d be honored to hold that space for you.

I focus on creating a calming, nurturing space where you can be who you are with no judgement.

Are you starved for touch and would like to be held in a safe space, without judgement, expectation or worrying about pushing past other’s boundaries? Would you like to temporarily disconnect from technology, connect deeply and sincerely with another human and feel really ‘seen’?

I found that we as a society have lacked touch and yet touch is a need for us to keep harmony within our bodies physiologically. Cuddlist has helped me discover more about me and others. Safety and being in-tune to boundaries is instrumental for me to be comfortable in a session.

I love cuddling. I believe that platonic touch is essential for health, and just as infants who are not touched cannot thrive, neither can adults. Holding another, feeling their heartbeat, and hearing their stories fills a need that everyone has and not everyone gets met.

Touching and holding releases chemicals like oxytocin in the brain that create a sense of well-being, bonding and trust. It can also release endorphin, which is the chemical released after a good workout or when you eat chocolate, which contributes to that great feeling.

Hello and welcome! I'm excited to be part of what I truly believe will be something special ... a movement towards restoring and nurturing the acceptance of platonic therapeutic touch...
