Hello Hugger!
I'm a Healthcare field experienced cuddler with a A&AS is Psychology. Most recently I've been putting my degree to work in behavior modification as an RBT. I am pleased to be able to bring my experience and education into our sessions.
I'm a firm believer in all manner of therapy, therapeutic techniques and of course, cuddle therapy. Many of them are so easy to implement.
I believe in the power of cuddle therapy. Full embrace, shoulder to shoulder time, hand holding, etc. all tools in a cuddlers toolbox to build a foundation and structure for safe, fulfilling healing.
I love to laugh.
I feel most, if not all situations can be made easy by a little humor. I can also swim in deep emotional waters with ease. Big spoon or little spoon does not matter to me. I can be whatever meets your needs on that given day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Session Possibilities and Rates:
I am comfortable to give or receive platonic massage, with consent.
I am comfortable with hand holding, finger holding/play, face cradling, hair play, scalp scratching/massage, nuzzling, footsies, cheek to cheek.
I am comfortable meditating together while soft touching, co-breathing exercises, cuddling that includes aspects of your love language. Discussing astrology, discussing aspects of Psychology or behavior modification or just active listening. Those are just a few. We can talk about Anything.
I am comfortable with your age, gender, identity, ethnicity, size, sexual orientation, disability, disorder, etc.
Soft limits on 'body pillows'; lap, lower back, chest and Lap sitting.
I am cat and dog friendly.
Note about me: I usually go over in my sessions. I haven't left a single session on time. I'm not that much of a stickler for checking the time or running away as soon as the time is up, unless you've got somewhere to be. Forgive me. All of you are so interesting.
Massage
How great would it be to have someone come to you and give you a massage in your own space?! Intentional touching and cuddles, without leaving the house and driving anywhere. That's sounds like max relaxed.
Massage Rates:
Back only: $100. Typical Swedish massage while taking requests for additional pressure and time on trigger point areas. 0.5 hour massage and 0.25 hour cuddle.
Scalp only: $100. Attention to the scalp, temples, ears, jaw, neck, upper shoulders. 0.5 hour massage and 0.25 hour cuddle.
Back, Legs, Arms: $125 hour. Typical Swedish massage while taking requests for additional pressure and time on trigger point areas. Additional attention to the shoulders, arms - top and bottom, forearms and legs - top and bottom, thighs, knees, calves. 0.75 hour massage with 0.5 hour cuddles. *Required Minimum 1.5 hour booking.
Full Body: $150 hour. Melt with this massage which includes face and neck, scalp, back, arms - top and bottom, hands, legs - top and bottom, chest and feet. 0.75 hour massage with 0.5 hour cuddle. *Required Minimum 1.5 hour booking.
Naturally this massage takes longer and this minimum length of session ends up feeling rushed. I highly recommend a 2 hour session or more to allow for a full 1.0 hour - 1.25 hour for massage and then cuddles. But ... it can be done in 45 minutes with about 2.5 minutes on each area.
One hour sessions equal roughly a half hour massage (most times they go over). As time must be allotted for cuddles (it's what we're here for), as well as setup, cleanup and exiting. Yes, it feels rushed, so I recommend or require times for some bookings. Rates for bookings involving massage will be manually input at time of booking.
I do not offer use of any machinery, cups, hot stones or the like.
* Please disclose any injuries. I do not take responsibility for any irritation or damage to disclosed or undisclosed injuries.
** I use my choice of muscle rub, foot ointments and facial masks at my cost. I have not had any issues with these products and will not assume any responsibility if you do.
*** I Do Not Operate under any licensure. I'm just me offering a service that I know I'm good at.
Extended Sessions: 4 hrs. (Discount Offered)
Perfect for a series of events. Example: Arrival, greetings (payment), make dinner, movie, cuddle, emerge, end session. Pick and choose from the long list of services i've listed and make it you're own.

Session fee varies if massage is requested, discount amount applies to massage rate.

The Legalities:
(deep breath, you can do this)
Service Area:
I service Fredericksburg, DC and Richmond regularly.
I am local to Fredericksburg, VA and am willing to travel to DC, Richmond, Culpepper, Dahlgren and surrounding areas for a travel fee.
I still want to show love for my cuddlers in MD, NC, Winchester, VA Beach, etc. Anywhere over 2 hours, one way, there will be a required extended hours booking equal to the travel time from Fredericksburg and/or 3 or more hours, plus the travel fee. At that point I suggest you look into the discounted sessions.
There is a detailed info section about travel fees below to see if they apply to you and how much it will be.
Foreword:
Please be an grown adult!
Unfortunately this needs said as it happens so very often. Do not waste my time, that's just being basically considerate. If you think stringing along, making a booking for 2 weeks to a month is ok, message someone else. If you think making a booking and then bailing on it is ok, message someone else, you'll get reported here and possibly your account banned. We don't want that.
The time to send me a message is when you are committed to making a booking and have a plan for your booking. I'm usually pretty quick to shoot back my availability. You're next response should be a booking proposal including the travel expense. NOT 2 weeks or more of flaking. That's a drawn out way to get blocked and reported. Gross.
I did not do anything to you to deserve that ill treatment, don't treat me that way.
It's weird to message someone about booking that you're not actually interested in booking with. If you are not interested in booking a session, stay out of my inbox. It's the right thing to do.
Thank you for your care.
* Sessions can be in your location of choice; public or private, owned or rented. I Do Not Host. This is the second spot on my profile that says this. By extension, nor do I accept rides to locations. I will maintain my own transportation.
* Sessions will be conducted in hour increments with each hour starting or ending at the nearest quarter hour. 12:09pm is 12:15pm and is 0.25 of an hour.
* Session begins when I make contact with you.
If session is scheduled to start at Noon, I arrive at 11:55am, I park, It takes me 4 min to walk to the location, you are in the bathroom for 8 minutes, it's now 12:09pm before we meet and greet, session starts at 12:15pm and thus now ends at 1:15pm. Neither of us was late, we were just being human beings.
* I will allow some leeway for being late.
15 minutes is a bit much. 30 minutes is too much. Especially if I drove a great time and distance and now have to return to my origin. Please communicate with me if you are going to be late. Anything more than 30 minutes for a 1-2 hour session is reason to cancel the session and declare you a no show and Karma review you as such. (Had it happen where someone made a last minute booking, I drove from F'burg to the north side of DC at 10pm and he never answered his phone after that. Waited an hour, nothing. Drove back home. His account is banned now. Don't be that guy.)
* You are purchasing cuddling therapy services.
You are not expected to pay for my food, entertainment or costs, that I choose to engage in, that are not associated with cuddling. Costs you incur are cuddling therapy services, travel expenses and/or a rented venue for services to be rendered.
If you insist on obtaining any costs, on my behalf, other than those directly associated with cuddle therapy, it will be considered a TIP. I do not owe you and it will not be discounted from the hourly rate or total. I.e. Do not offer/insist to pay for my lunch then hand me a receipt at the end of session expecting repayment. Do Not use paying for that lunch as leverage to ask for inappropriate tasks or to circumvent my consent to a task. "... But I paid for your meal.". ... Just No.
* Last Minute Booking.
I am open to last minute bookings and will fit you in, if I can, WITHIN REASON.
Things happen suddenly and you may need comfort.
When I say "last minute" i'm referring to something in the range of Cuddle Comforts cancellation window for a booking, less that 24 hours notice but not less than 12 hours. Your odds of me accepting a booking with less than 12 hours notice is very slim, with the exception of you saying you had a death in the family, got divorced/fired today or something along those lines.
Real Example: If you message me at 10pm and say you want to cuddle at 1130p and you're over an hour drive from me ... No. Why? Because you "get off work soon and want to cuddle". .... No. That's rude. Don't be rude to me, i'm a fairly nice person, I don't deserve that. You know your schedule, plan better. Be an adult.
* Cancellations.
I also understand sometimes there is an unexpected need to cancel. Things come up. Maybe you just don't have enough 'spoons' to have a session that day or some other reason. You Do Not have to justify yourself to me. I am not judging your reason for cancelling. A very simple "I need to cancel, have a nice day." will suffice. Again, Please Be An Adult.
Please be mindful of your booking and cancellation time. Allow plenty of notice for me, as a courtesy and avoid Cuddle Comforts cancelation policy and fines.
* Cost based events.
I will not accept bookings with cost based events on short notice. There will be no less than 72 hours notice on a booking If you choose a public outing with costs such as a movie, dinner, or other cost laden events. I reserve the right to accept or deny attending these activities and events. Sessions booked that turn into impromptu outings, without prior communication and agreement, with cost burdens, will be ended and counted as cancellations/ no show and Karma reviewed as such.
* Cost based events, impromptu.
As a professional I will discuss with you what you would like to happen during your session, before the session. If the session deviates from that agenda, I reserve the right to cancel the session. I.e. We message and plan that you would like to cuddle and watch a movie at home. I arrive and you meet me outside saying you want to go to the movie theater or the opera instead. I will end the session and consider you as a cancellation. You are now free to go to the movie theater or opera, I will not prohibit you. I will not force a session on you. Surprising your cuddler with an unexpected $20 or $200 event cost is unacceptable. You wouldn't do this to a personal friend, please don't do it to me. I will Karma review you as a cancellation/no show.
* Please do the prep work for our session. If you decide, in our session planning, that you want to watch a specific show together, ... have that show queued up and ready to go when I arrive. Logging into streaming services, consoles, locating a DVD or the remote takes time away from the session.
If you decide to make a meal during session and it's not part of the session plan to cook together, that takes away from the session. Please do the prep work to take care of any distractions before session so that we can focus on the oxytocin acquisition.
Expecting me to adjust for these delays by adding on uncompensated time to the session is not fair.
* Please be prepared to share a picture of yourself during our chat. Certainly not for judgement but for my safety. A current picture is required for booking a session. I will ask for a current pic of you doing a specific task for authenticity. You can send me a dozen pictures, it does not mean they are you. I need to be safe and part of being safe is having a current picture of you.
* Reminder to observe Cuddle Comforts hygiene policy.
Please have a clean body and clean clothes. Due to the close nature of most cuddle positions, hygiene becomes critical. I am not a smoker. If you are, that's fine, please smoke away from me and use dental hygiene and hand washing when you are finished. Remember that residues of smoking get into your hair and clothes.
If you would like to touch feet, please trim your toenails prior to session. If you have not adhered to the hygiene standards I reserve the right to cancel the session.
* You're doing Amazing!
Here's your test to see if you read all of this. Please include your astrology sign when you message me. If you do not, i'll direct you back here until you find this and respond appropriately.
These points are not the parts of a session that we enjoy thinking about the most but they are an important part of a booking process and session running smoothly.
(I chuckle at messages that ask me questions that I have answered here and they swear they've read my profile *roll eyes*)
* Travel Fee.
There will be a fee for non-local/out-of-area Travel to cuddles over 15 miles from Fredericksburg.
$5 a quarter hour, round trip. Going by what google says is the travel time, minus the 15 miles on both ends that I am willing to travel for local sessions.
Anything North of Aquia Harbor, East of King George, South of Thornburg and West of Lake of the Woods, gives you a general idea if there will be a travel charge or not.
Example:
Destination: The White House. The White House is 55 miles from Fredericksburg, 110 miles round trip. Google maps says 2 hour round trip travel time. Now minus the 30 miles I was willing to travel for locals within the F'burg area. That's now 40 minutes one way, 1.25 hours round trip, 80 miles total. Travel Fee is $25.
* Reminder: I do not receive the full hourly rate posted. CuddleComfort takes 15% of the total for use of their platform. If you are a no show, I still have to pay that fee and then wait to be reimbursed.
* Tips. Tips imply there was exceptional work, above and beyond. Tips are a great compliment and they are appreciated But they are Not necessary. Tips do not, in any way, guarantee you any special treatment.
*Dress. I usually wear a tank top and leggings. If this makes you uncomfortable, please let me know. I can bring a baggy sweat shirt or sweater if skin exposure is offensive or nonpreferred.
For massage sessions, it's expected you will be shirtless. Please let me know if this makes you uncomfortable and we can incorporate a towel for comfort/privacy.
*Hopefully this doesn't get me in trouble but it's been an issue and I want to address it.
Karma. I can not directly as a cuddler for Karma. I've had several cuddles that I have not been reviewed for. So, please, if we've cuddled, please consider leaving me appropriate Karma. It helps others who are looking for reliable cuddlers.
* Payment. Fees for the session will be collected at the beginning of the session for the planned upon time (booking). Any extra time will be paid for at the end of session.
Preferred payment methods: Cash, Venmo, Cashapp or Zelle. I prefer Zelle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
YOU MADE IT!!
I'm so sorry you had to sit through all that, friend.
Pep talk to my potential cuddler bestie:
*deep sigh*
I know all that was a bit daunting. I'm just doing my best to satisfy this platform's intent, protect myself as a professional, answer any possible questions and ensure you get all that you want out of your session. That can come across as me overthinking things and taking control like this. But once our session starts, i'm melted butter, in total cuddle mode and ready to fluff you up.
Our session is really going to be Great, I just know it!!
Google some pics of cute animals cuddling the day of. Perfect inspiration!
Looking forward to our snuggle time together, again and again and again.
Best of Karma to you!
