If you think you want to work with me, you can do so by filling out the form or going to snugglewithsam.com. Either way, I will be sending you my orientation video to watch and book our first session together!

I've been a cuddle therapist for over nine years, and I keep doing this work because I want people to feel like they're not alone on their journey. I was previously a construction project engineer. Since 2017 I've been a full-time cuddle therapist because I see how much something so seemingly simple can transform your life in unexpected ways.

Sessions with me can be a great place to give yourself space to pause, feel, understand and ground yourself to move forward in your life how you want to, not on autopilot/to the road to burnout (Ask me how I know about burnout.) They might feel like a meditation with touch involved. They might be a space for me to really see you for who you are and fully embrace you-- physically and metaphorically. And sometimes, they might be a time be silly, stop adulting for a little bit, and maybe even make animal noises at each other just because. Rawr.

Many a client have come out of my sessions and made better friends, gone on great dates, or gone home to their spouse and felt much closer with them. Contrary to popular belief, this work isn't meant to be a replacement for a partner. Instead, this work allows you to get touch in a therapeutic environment while taking the pressure of having that need met solely by your (potential) partner. I've seen many people be able to go back to their partners and have a deeper, more meaningful relationship with them. I've seen people build better social circles through learning better ways to show up with people in sessions.

There’s no obligation to make small or deep talk in our sessions, but if you do I make great conversation with virtually anyone. I particularly can keep up with conversations with engineers (my people!), financial consultants, authors, lawyers, realtors, and entrepreneurs. I enjoy partner dancing (these days I favor fusion dance), blogging (I wrote a book!), watching anime, and playing indie video games.
  
I’m particularly sensitive to people that use professional cuddling to supplement their mental health. I’ve worked with people that have/are: ADHD, depression, anxiety, autism, PTSD, asexual, acute trauma due to a loss, chronic diseases, and antisocial disorder. If you have any of these, please contact me with your situation so I can better understand and craft a session that will best help you.

In your first contact with me, I will send you an email to my orientation video for new clients (it is 20 minutes long, includes subtitles, and will require you enter an email to view it). This is a pre-requisite for having a session at all with me.

If after the video you still have questions you may book me for a phone consultation for $50 (in which the cost can be applied to your first session should you move forward)

I do require a credit card to be put on file in my bank-encrypted system even if you choose to pay cash at the session. If you do not wish to give me a credit card on file, I can also accept Venmo paid in full when confirming your session or you can bring cash to my office and schedule your session in person (must be coordinated ahead of time with me).

My cuddle space is in a professional building with a free parking garage and elevators up to my floor. I will meet you in the reception area or hallway when you come for your session. Confirmation emails will contain a video walkthrough on how to get there.

Your first session in my cuddle room in Woburn is 2 hours long. We have a queen sized daybed we use for our sessions. If you want me to come to you, your first session must be 4 hours long. Subsequent sessions can be shorter, and I offer returning client package discounts to those that pay for multiple sessions with me, but your first session must be this length of time and I do not offer discounts for this first session.

The first half hour of your first session will be in a public space before moving to a private space. Returning clients will have sessions start in the cuddle space.

There's a lot of yeses and no's I cover in the orientation video, but for those reading up to this point and curious the gist of it is this:

Yes to wearing a shirt and bottoms for both of us

No to wearing boxer shorts (think pants you'd wear outside)

No to escalating a session to turn sexual if you get aroused

No to erogenous zones (genitals, breasts, buttocks)

No-shows are charged the full amount of the session. Cancellations must give 12 hours notice to avoid a 50% cancellation fee. Fee can be waived on a case-by-case basis at my discretion.
