FAQs and Resources

This really is purely platonic cuddling and support. There is absolutely never anything sexual going on during a session. Make sure you have read, understand, and agree to the service agreement (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gib1fQ_MXQO-Xy5shjhASrT4UL10Qh07jRHd5mxAN5U/edit?usp=sharing)before booking any session. There is nothing wrong with sex. sexuality, or seeking sex workers; it's simply not the service I offer. The idea is that if a child were to walk in during our session, we would not have to change anything we are doing or talking about.

The benefits to platonic consensual touch are both emotional and physical. Touch is as vital as food or sleep, except we don't recognize the symptoms as being the result of a lack of touch. It improves mood, can lower blood pressure, reduces stress and anxiety, lowers cortisol levels, reduces inflammation, strengthens immune system, improves sleep, self-esteem, can reduce depression, and many other benefits. The simple act of connecting with someone in a safe space where you are accepted for being wholly yourself does wonders for your mood, and the biological response to touch has many proven benefits (so why should you pay me?)(javascript:void(0)). In addition, if you are uncomfortable with touch for any reason and it is affecting your personal life, working on consensual touch in a safe environment and moving at your pace can help you develop your voice, your boundaries, your trust, etc.

I see a variety of people with all different needs. People seeking relaxation or self-care. People who live alone and are not close to family (or whose family aren't very touchy feely). People going through a loss or other difficult time. People with anxiety, depression, autism, or other psychological struggles. People with physical disabilities. People who are married or in a relationship, but don't have compatible touch needs. Seeing a professional cuddler is also potentially incredibly therapeutic for those who have experienced trauma since there is a level of trust which you can depend on as we work within your comfort level. All different genders and sexualities are accepted. As you can see, people seeking touch come from all different situations and experiences. As long as you are respectful of the service agreement, you are an ideal client!

No. I cannot substitute for a psychologist or counselor. Cuddling is a great service to combine with talk therapy for a multitude of purposes however. If you are referred to me by your talk therapist, I can offer a discount for any of my session options. Please talk with me about any physical or mental conditions which may affect our session ahead of time.

I always appreciate the thought, but in order to maintain the professional nature of our relationship, please refrain from bringing any material gifts for me.

All credit cards (through Square) and cash are accepted. - $50 deposit required to book a session (it may be possible to skip the deposit with a $25 surcharge). - Remainder of payment to take place no later than at the start of the session. - In case of cancellation with sufficient notice, it may be possible for your deposit paid to be applied to your next session.

I will not share information about you, that you are a client of mine, or any information about our sessions. If we run into each other in public, I will not approach you, nor will I will refer to cuddling. I will follow your direction in regards to saying hi and for conversation subjects. I will follow up with you for my own business, but will not sell or share your information to other businesses.

I have overnight accommodations available so people can travel from further and not have to drive home after escaping their cuddle coma. =) Or stay longer to shift the experience into an extended self-care retreat in the woods of central Virginia to wrap around your cuddle session(s). If you do not want to travel to me, I can travel short distances and offer virtual sessions and I also know many quality professionals across the country. Contact me to ask what your options may be for your specific location.
