About Michelle

VIRTUAL SESSIONS NOW BEING OFFERED: $60/hour. I am responding to the current world situation by expanding our ways to connect. The therapeutic value of a session is not simply about the touch, it is about the intimacy that is created with healthy boundaries and a willingness to open up to one another. To see and be seen by another. I have a tool kit full of fun ways to do that and we can create our own confidential haven of time together however is best for both of us. Request a session today letting me know you want something virtual and we will begin!

(Pronouns: She/Her)

Cuddlist Certified Practitioner since December 2015, with over 240 session hours.

As a mother, daughter and former-wife who has managed through major hurdles in my life, I know what it’s like to feel tired and lost. It’s hard to know who to be vulnerable with. It’s hard to feel safe. We’ve spent so much time in our fight or flight.

As a neuroscience geek, I understand the benefits of secure attachment; inviting your nervous system to sink up with mine, essentially rewiring it to spend more time in the calm zone where we can think AND feel at the same time; and the healing that can come from safe relationships.

In our sessions, you’ll feel unconditional acceptance. You’ll feel loved and cared for. You’ll feel seen and heard. I’m here to support you.

I specialize in working with clients with addiction, PTSD, depression and anxiety. Some of these sessions never even include touch. We will move at your pace.

Some of my favorite books lately are Body Keeps the Score, When the Body Says No: Understanding the Stress-Disease Connection, Hold Me Tight, The Gift of Imperfection and Wired for Love.

I’m a relationship geek and very friendly to alternative lifestyles. Your weird isn’t weird to me.

My clients are dedicated to growth and schedule weekly sessions. By sharing safe space consistently, your nervous system can start to rewire for safety and security. In that session safety, the world starts to feel safer too.

Thank you for being brave and asking for the connection you want.~Michelle Renee

Session information from Michelle

After you request a session, please watch for an email or text. I’ll be sending a link to schedule a quick call so we can meet each other.

I’m available for incalls in Cockeysville. My location does require the use of stairs (3rd floor) and is the home to two cats and a small dog. None will be part of our session but if allergies are an issue, you need to know.

Outcalls are available across the DMV. A video call prior to scheduling will be mandatory as well as a prepaid deposit.

**If you have a physical disability, and live within a 30 minute radius, please indicate that in your request form. I will waive all travel fees because my space is not accessible.
