 I believe in the power of human connection through presence, trust, and
gentle touch. As a Deaf Cuddlist trained professional, I bring a deep
awareness of communication, boundaries, and respect into every session. Whether
we communicate through gestures, writing, voice, or silence, I hold space for
your authentic self to be seen, heard, and accepted. 

My lived experience as a Deaf person has shaped how I connect with
others—with my eyes, my heart, and my hands. I’ve worked for many years in Deaf
well-being, education, and mental health spaces, supporting people to feel
safe, included, and empowered. I welcome all identities and strive to provide
an environment that is trauma-informed, affirming, and nonjudgmental. 

If you are feeling touched-out, touch-starved, or just need a moment of
genuine, platonic warmth—you are not alone. I’m here to hold space with you. In addition to being a
professional cuddler, I am a Deaf Interpreter, an ASL instructor at the college
level (teaching both Deaf and hearing students), and a Master of Social Work
(MSW) student. I approach each session with care, flexibility, and a strong
foundation in communication and consent. 

 I offer virtual sessions as well as out-call sessions where
I come to you. Please note that out-call sessions include a travel fee to cover
my time and expenses. 

Because I am Deaf, communication during sessions can be flexible and
adapted to your preferences. We can connect through: 

· Voice-to-text apps or texting (you type or speak, and I read and respond) 

· Silence and presence when words are not needed  

My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and affirming space where you
can relax, feel seen, and experience genuine platonic connection. 

Please allow 24–48 hours for me to respond to your inquiries. A free,
non-binding online video or WhatsApp screening and introductory call is
mandatory before any session. This call lasts about 20 minutes and helps us
ensure a good fit. 

If we mutually decide to proceed, and choose a date and time, I will send
you a confirmation email with payment details via e-transfer. Please note that
sessions are only confirmed after payment has been received. 

At the first session, we will both sign two copies of my Code of
Conduct (one for you and one for me) before the session begins, to ensure
mutual understanding of boundaries and consent. Sessions are
trauma-informed, consensual, and tailored to meet your individual needs and
boundaries.
