CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL CUDDLING

50


50 per session - - Posted Jul 10, 2017

Human beings thrive on contact -- physically and mentally -- and it is no secret that an embrace with another person can make us feel good. But experts now claim that a touch can do more than comfort -- touch can heal!

Because cuddling is based on good communication, clear consent and boundaries, it is a very safe way to explore your wants and needs. It is a strictly platonic, non-sexual service based on mutual respect; NO shenanigans will be tolerated.

Benefits of cuddling include:

-Relaxation and stress reduction
-Improved mood & self-esteem
-Better sleep
-Mindfulness
-Can help strengthen the immune system
-Improved communication skills
-Alleviates loneliness and promotes connection

I offer alternative touch therapy through cuddling to help individuals find relief from everyday stress, anxiety and even the loneliness induced by our virtual world with platonic physical interaction -- cuddling, holding hands, dancing, chatting, laughing, meditating or any combination therein, all in a safe, warm and confidential environment.

I'm committed to making you feel welcome and comfortable with every visit, as well as providing you with the confidentiality and privacy you would expect from any therapeutic practitioner. Clients of all ages (18+) are welcome. I provide an alternative, holistic approach to well-being no matter what shape, size, orientation, gender, etc. in an unconditional and non-judgmental atmosphere where your confidentiality and privacy are guaranteed.

Each session will be tailored to your needs, so whether you're in the mood to chat or enjoy a quiet, contemplative cuddle; snuggle to the soothing sounds of the ocean or forest; or get lost beneath a canopy of stars, you'll be assured a wonderful experience that will engage your senses, soothe your soul, warm your heart and ease your worries.

I‘m empathetic, warm and easy going. I pride myself on being able to see the beauty within … for true beauty lives in the heart and soul. One of my favorite quotes is from Elisabeth Kubler-Ross … “People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”

My session space is conveniently located, accessible from several major highways, and offers plenty of free parking.

My standard session rates run $60 per hour. As I've been growing my practice, I have connected with people who would greatly benefit from this service but may not have the financial means to explore this alternative holistic modality (i.e. veterans, caregivers of special needs children/parents, seniors, social workers, people with disabilities, etc.) This work is important to me and I wanted to find a way to make this service more accessible.
