Cuddle therapy can offer comfort, connection, and emotional support during times of challenge, healing, or personal growth. It may be right for you if:

• You’re feeling anxious, depressed, or emotionally overwhelmed

• You're experiencing grief or loss

• You're navigating a breakup, divorce, or relationship transition

• You’re struggling with loneliness or disconnection

• You’re facing stress or burnout from work, caregiving, or daily life

• You're a caregiver who rarely receives care yourself

• You feel touch-deprived or yearn for safe, nurturing connection

• You have limited relationship experience and want to build confidence in closeness

• You’re touch-averse and curious about increasing comfort with physical closeness

• You need a safe, non-judgmental space to express emotions, cry, talk, or simply be held

• You’re on a path of self-discovery, healing, or emotional growth

• You’re recovering from childhood trauma or domestic abuse

• You long for the loving presence of a maternal or nurturing figure

If any of these resonate with you, cuddle therapy may offer the healing, grounding, and connection you need.

Okay:

• Shoulder massages

• Touching face, hair, and stomach (with mutual consent)

• Foot massages

• Experiencing natural arousal (as long as it’s not acted upon)

• Choosing specific music or requesting no music

• Open, honest communication throughout the session

Not okay:

• Touching under clothing

• Touching any erogenous zones (genitals, breasts, buttocks)

• Kissing or sexual advances of any kind

• Fetish-related requests

• Clothing requests for your practitioner

• Escalating arousal into sexual behavior

This is a strictly platonic and consent-based practice.

Please wear clean, comfortable clothing you feel relaxed in. Common options include:

• Pajamas

• Sweatpants or yoga pants

• T-shirts, tank tops, or loungewear
  

Minimum requirement: tank top and outerwear-style shorts or pants for both client and practitioner. No boxer shorts, please.

Sessions range from 1 to 8 hours, depending on your needs. First-time clients often start with a 2-hour session, which allows time for connection and comfort-building.

Sessions are hosted at my lovely apartment in Upper Manhattan, just half a block from the 1 train.

Yes—for 3-hour sessions or longer only. Clients are responsible for covering round-trip transportation. Outcalls must be paid for in advance.

If I have no client booked immediately afterward, you're welcome to extend your session. Just ask!

Absolutely. Crying is a natural and welcome part of the healing process. All emotions are valid and will be held with compassion and care.

Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance via call, text, email, or the link in your confirmation email. Late cancellations will incur the full session fee, which may be credited toward your next session. No-shows without payment may be blocked from booking future sessions.

No. For my own comfort, I choose my attire. I simply ask that we both meet the minimum clothing requirements noted above.

No. I do not offer sexual, non-platonic, erotic, or fetish services—even if additional payment is offered. This is a strictly platonic, professional practice.

Yes—I have two friendly Bengal cats. They’re sweet and curious, but won’t join the session unless requested. If you’re allergic or prefer not to interact with them, just let me know.

Possibly. I don’t accept last-minute bookings, but if you’re available for a required video intake call earlier in the day, a same-day session may be possible.

Not at all! As long as we stay within the Code of Conduct and both agree, sessions can include:

• Cuddling in various positions

• Talking

• Holding hands

• Watching a movie

• Reading aloud

• Sharing a meal

• Eye gazing

• Light massage

• Gentle stretching

• Listening to music

• Taking a walk

• Simply being present together

Just ask. This is your time.

Speak up—immediately and without hesitation. This is a consent-based space. You're encouraged to practice using your voice. If anything feels off or if you'd like to end the session early, you can do so at any time.

Arousal is a natural human response and is not a problem. The key is that neither of us act on it or try to increase it. It can be acknowledged or not—whatever feels best for you.

Yes—as long as you are 18 or older and willing to honor the Code of Conduct, you are welcome.

Yes! If you're not in NYC, we can still connect through a virtual cuddle session via Zoom, FaceTime, or WhatsApp.

Professional cuddle therapists are trained in consent practices, emotional regulation, and creating safe, nurturing environments. Just like coaching or massage therapy, there are certifications and standards. I am a Certified Cuddlist and bring years of experience and care to every session. My role is to model healthy, safe, and emotionally present connection—offering a touch-based experience of what trusting relationships can feel like.

We’ll start by reviewing boundaries, preferences, and intentions. Sessions take place on a large couch or a queen-size bed—your choice. The space is serene, cozy, and clean, with calming music, soft lighting, and aromatherapy (if desired). You’re invited to express your needs and move at your own pace. I may offer suggestions, but ultimately, you decide how we connect. This is your space to be fully yourself.

Please:

• Bathe and brush your teeth before our session

• Avoid perfume, cologne, or strong scents

• Bring and change into a clean pair of clothes before the session

• Refrain from smoking or drinking alcohol beforehand

I offer consultations for aspiring practitioners. I recommend training and certification through Cuddlist.com, where I was certified. I’ll gladly walk you through the process and provide an affiliate discount code if you’re ready to take the next step.
