📍 St. Petersburg, FL | In-Person & Virtual
Sometimes you don’t need advice.
You don’t need someone to fix it, analyze it, or tell you what to do.
You just need somewhere safe to put the weight down.
My sessions are for people who have been carrying a lot and are craving something deeply human: warmth, nurturing, physical comfort, presence, and the experience of being with another person without expectation or judgment.
You may be moving through grief, stress, loneliness, relationship changes, burnout, uncertainty, or simply a season where you’ve had to be strong for everyone else.
Here, you get to soften.
🌿 What I Offer
These are not simply cuddle sessions.
They are intentional, consent-led experiences of platonic touch, connection, and nervous-system support.
Depending on what you need that day, a session might include:
* Quiet cuddling and comforting touch
* Being held while you rest or decompress
* Gentle somatic guidance
* Breath and grounding practices
* Conversation and emotional presence
* Space to cry, laugh, process, or simply be quiet
* Exploring what kinds of touch feel nourishing and safe
* Deep rest without needing to take care of anyone else
Nothing has to happen.
There is no emotional performance required.
You do not need to arrive calm, positive, interesting, or put together.
You can simply arrive as you are.
🧪 Why My Sessions Are Different
Before becoming a somatic practitioner, I spent ten years working as a chemist.
I’m endlessly fascinated by the intersection of the body, nervous system, psychology, relationships, and human connection.
That means our session can be quiet and deeply nurturing, but it can also include meaningful conversation about science, philosophy, life, relationships, or whatever helps you feel connected and comfortable.
For many people, trust grows through conversation first.
I welcome that.
Once safety and connection are present, the body often begins to soften on its own.
Clients have described experiences of deep emotional release, feeling cared for in ways they had never experienced before, reconnecting with younger parts of themselves, and discovering that closeness can feel safe rather than demanding.
I don’t force those experiences or promise them.
I simply create the conditions where something different becomes possible.
💜 This Space May Be For You If...
You’ve been the strong one for a long time.
You’re exhausted from holding everything together.
You’re touch-starved or craving affectionate human connection.
You’re going through grief, stress, heartbreak, caregiving, burnout, or a major life transition.
You want to feel physically comforted without sexual expectations.
You want a space where someone can be present with what you’re experiencing rather than trying to solve it.
Or maybe nothing is “wrong.”
Maybe you simply want to experience being held, nurtured, and cared for.
That is reason enough.

🌷 A Little About Me
Favorite element: Carbon. She bonds beautifully. 😉
Former chemistry nerd turned student of the human nervous system.
I love stargazing, beach time, meaningful conversations, curiosity, and baking emotional-support cookies.
My energy tends to be warm, grounded, playful, curious, and deeply nonjudgmental.
Think: the person you can talk to about the universe for an hour and then fall asleep next to because your body finally realized it doesn’t have to stay on guard.
