About me
MY PROMISE TO YOU:
I approach cuddling from the idea of practicing loving-kindness. When I’m cuddling I’m fully present in the moment with you in a safe place of compassion, non-judgment, and attention. Please never worry about your appearance, sexuality, ethnicity/race, or body size with me! I accept all individuals.
SCHEDULING A SESSION:
Message me with a hello and let me know that you’re interested in scheduling! Please let me know in your opening message that you have read the Client Agreement and that you understand that this is a platonic, non-sexual service. (Note: If you don’t provide that information in your message, I will not respond until you do.)
Feel free to let me know what times work best for you — I’ll get back to you ASAP to figure out dates, time, and place. If you’d like me to ‘host,’ please read the section below on my hosting limitations.
MY RATES:
Public Cuddling:
$40/hr M-Su
It’s really fun (especially for a first meeting) to do some public cuddling! We can go to a park, walk around, and cuddle... or we can go see a movie and maybe grab a bite to eat! We could also head to an arcade, do an escape room, go bowling, or anything else you can think of! Even though we’ll be out in public, there will still be plenty of hugs and hand-holding!
Private Cuddling:
$55/hr M-Th* 11AM-2PM
$65/hr M-Th* 3PM-9PM
$75/hr F-Su* 11AM-9PM
* IN ORDER TO ‘HOST’: I will need to schedule time at an Airbnb nearby. This option is best planned in advance due to limited availability! The cost of the Airbnb varies, but I try to keep it around $50-$75. (The further planned out, the better price and location I can obtain!) If interested, let me know and we can work out the details. One benefit of using an Airbnb is that, I do not charge for travel time.
TRAVEL TIME:
I will travel up to 30 minutes (each way) for free. Afterwards, the cost is $30/hour of travel time. I use Google maps to determine the travel time and will send a screenshot to you.
ANATOMY OF A CUDDLE SESSION:
As far as cuddling style and rules go, I abide by the rules provided in the Client Agreement. You are in charge of how we cuddle within those rules. I can incorporate hand-holding, hair-stroking, massage, hugging, sitting near each other, spooning... and most other platonic/non-sexual cuddle positions that you can think of!
When I meet you for a private session, the first thing I’ll need to do is change clothes, since I usually wear nice pajamas for cuddling. For a first session, I prefer wearing pajamas that consist of pants and a T-shirt. (They’re nice, though — bamboo and organic cotton, so they’re very soft and cozy.) For future sessions, I’m open to wearing shorts and a tank top type pajamas. For public cuddling, I dress nicely but still in soft clothes; what I wear for public cuddling depends on what activity we have planned!
I bring bottled water for each of us to a session. I have a Bluetooth speaker and an aromatherapy diffuser, so — if you’d like — you can choose music to listen to or scents for me to bring. We’ll spend a few minutes to sit together and talk about platonic guidelines and how to communicate our preferences. And then I ask how you want to cuddle! We can listen to music, watch a movie, chat, or we can be nice and quiet. It’s all up to you. :)
ABOUT ME:
My past job experience has included running my own small organic bath and body care business, supervising students in library services, English tutoring, political canvassing to provide increased access to women’s healthcare, and bookselling. I have a B.A. in Linguistics and English from the University of Michigan. I'm currently a student at Eastern Michigan University where I am doing a second Bachelor's in Social Work.
In my life, I am a bit of a homebody. I have three rescued pug-mutts and one cat. I love to read (especially science fiction and modern fantasy, but I will read just about anything!), watch Netflix, play geeky board and video games, knit, embroider, and make soap.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW:
1.) Once we’ve scheduled an appointment (but before meeting), I will need a recent photo of you if you don’t have one on your profile. (This is for safety and also so I can recognize you!). You can send me a picture through Cuddle Comfort’s messaging system or through the text number that I’ll provide you when you’ve scheduled.
2.) Before beginning our session, I will need to verify your full name via an ID to send to my safety buddy. (While this can be your driver’s license, it does not have to be. Any type of ID with your first and last name will work — library card, Costco card, etc.)
DISCOUNTS:
* First time client special: 15% off total session price. (Minimum of $40/hour. Session price does not include travel fees or hosting costs.)
* Need to rent a hotel room to host? Take 50% off my first hour.
(Two hour minimum.)
* $50/hour for folks over 65, veterans, and those with documented disabilities.
* Want to book some time in advance to save some money? You can purchase 4 hours in advance for $250. The 4 hours can be used at any of my available hours Monday through Sunday.
**Overnight cuddles are accepted on a case-by-case basis for repeat clients.**
