Update 2023 – I will be living in Panama for the near future, so I am out of the country.  If you would like to contact me for a virtual session or find out where/when I am travelling, please do submit a request.  I still have many contacts and connections in Salt Lake.

The most meaningful thing in the world is connection between people. There is nothing I like better than to look someone in the eye and have a real conversation. If we both enjoy cuddling with each other while having that conversation, then it is even better.

I believe in the Buddhist philosophies of mindfulness and striving to be present in the moment. I find that offering my full presence to another person is the best way to stay in the moment.  

I feel very strongly that what I promote as a Cuddle Party Facilitator is an important message and ideology that so many people need to hear and experience in order to improve their lives and their frame of mind.  The communication and consent ideas from Cuddle Party are something that I would like to offer and promote one-on-one to you as well. I am passionate about spreading these ideas and also about helping people release shame and release assumptions and ideas which no longer serve them.

In our American culture, ideas about boundaries and relationship behavior are very backwards.  It is important to find people you can have open conversations with about appropriate boundaries and healthy relationship agreements. I can help you practice your communication skills, solidify your own ideas about what you want and what your boundaries are and give you some ideas on how to negotiate agreements with the people in your life.

I am a good listener and I find that many people just need someone to listen and then give them a hug.  I would love to do that for you. I offer a safe space to relax and be you without judgement.

Touch is a basic need like sleep or food.  You can get by on junk food or short yourself of sleep for a while, but your mood deteriorates and life is not good when you deprive yourself of sleep or healthy food over time.  It is the same with meaningful, fulfilling touch. Private cuddling offers one avenue to receive that healthy touch and human connection that is so necessary to a full life. A friend of mine calls it Vitamin H(uman).  I prescribe it for all of us.

I was offering Free Hugs at the Utah Arts Festival and one woman came up to me, looked me in the eyes and paused.  Then she said, “I WILL have a hug, you seem genuine.” Well, I AM genuine, I always try to be authentic (though this is a practice I am continually working on) and I did give her a hug and she went away smiling.  I was smiling too. I love being genuine and authentic with people who give me the same respect of also being authentic. If we find we are not resonating with each other, in our authentic selves, that is fine – we can move on and find someone who IS attracted to our own individual light we show the world.

My intake interview is free, so there is no down side to meeting me.  I am pretty awesome in person. However, if you are still on the fence, I hope you will come to one of my Coffee Chats or a Cuddle Party  so we can meet in a group setting and you can get a taste. You can find my parties listed on Cuddle Party dot com or under Utah Cuddle Club (Salt Lake area) in Meetup.
