Cuddling can be a portal to connection, self-discovery, and even self-healing. I’m so glad you’re here, and I would be honored to accompany you in a step on your journey.


 
My name is Ian (they/them), and I am a professional cuddler in Seattle, WA. My intention in my practice is to create an environment that supports rest, connection, and healing. We live in a fast-moving world that may not always leave time for these. What might you learn about yourself when you ask “What do I want?” and wait for an authentic answer? What might come up in a quiet moment that is dedicated to you? What about a playful moment?

I welcome everyone into my practice: all bodies, all genders, all backgrounds.

People seek out cuddling for so many different reasons. Some people might want or need:

  • More physical touch or affection in their lives
  • A safe container to discover or exercise their boundaries
  • Some time that is dedicated to them
  • To deeply connect with their body and their spirit
  • To develop skills that will deepen their platonic and/or romantic connections
  • To simply rest
  • And some people don’t know exactly why the seek out cuddling

There’s no right or wrong reason for being here. You don’t need a reason at all. If you’re interested to explore working together, I would love to hear from you, learn about your journey, and answer your questions.

Intentional platonic cuddling literally transformed my life. I learned about my boundaries and my desires, and I learned how to verbalize both. Cuddling led me to embodied and touch-positive communities, where I met so many other wonderful humans and continued to grow. These practices and experiences influenced not just the way I think about touch but my entire life, including my relationships and my career. Everyone has different things that they need or take away — what might you take away from cuddling?

If you would like to get to know me or my other work in the community, I co-create and co-facilitate Happy Humanimals , a cuddle event series in Seattle. You can find more information on the Happy Humanimals Eventbrite page or the Happy Humanimals newsletter .

Trainings: Cuddlist Training (2023), Cuddle Party Foundations of Facilitation (2022), Soma Essentials (2025)

I see clients on Thursdays (3 - 7:30p), Fridays (3 - 7:30p), and select Saturdays (10 - 4p).

Inquiries will receive a response within 1-2 working days. After submitting a request, we’ll arrange a phone call to get to know one another, answer each other’s questions, and make sure we both feel confident moving forward.
  
When you arrive for your session, we’ll take a few minutes to orient, get comfortable, and review the Code of Conduct and our agreements.

I offer sessions in a private, cozy, and professional practice space in Lake City, Seattle. Outcalls are generally not available; however, if you are unable to travel, reach out to discuss possibilities.

Cancellations: Please let me know as soon as possible if you need to cancel. For cancellations within 24 hours of our session time, I request a fee of 100% of the session.

Health: We agree to communicate any illness that comes up before or after a session. Either of us has the option to request that we both wear masks during sessions.

To get the most out of what you are looking for from your session, please review the Code of Conduct and view some Cuddlist videos.
