About me
Hi & welcome to my little corner of the internet, I'm Em. I've been doing professional cuddler work / hosting cuddle parties on and off since 2016, but am new to cuddle comfort!
I believe that everyone deserves to understand what it's like to have a space held for you, where you can be seen and born witness to, to be held both figuratively and literally. Through years of training in multiple therapeutic modalities (bodywork, massage, mental health counseling, yoga, and more) I've cultivated an ability to hold space, to see everyone for the human that they are, an act of loving kindness for all… And I would love to share these abilities with you.
A little about me: I travel solo extensively. I am expressive, well read, playful, a lover of all things food… I also stay active with yoga, hiking, creating memories with photographs, and anything involving large bodies of water. I collect experiences over tchotchkes, and my greatest desire is to love my life as I am living it. I study how to be human, how to connect with other humans, and how to enjoy the experience of living in this body here on this planet to the best of my ability. For 15+ years now I’ve been doing that through yoga, Thai massage, leading cuddle workshops, consent and communication workshops, and more. I strive to live a fully examined, authentic life, and I look forward to sharing my energy with you.
Sessions with me are client directed, with a strong foundation in consent and communication. I provide a space where you can safely communicate your wants and needs. Each session is a unique experience and no two are alike. You get to express what you're interested in, and together we can figure out how to make that happen! Let's come together and help you create a better and more authentic relationship with yourself, your body, and everyone else you meet in life. As a note, while I'm trained in other therapeutic modalities, this is not the time or place for them. This is a time to focus on therapeutic touch, proximity, openness, and vulnerability.
If that’s something you’re not good at yet no worries, we can work on it together. My goal is to provide a safe space for platonic, consensual, touch therapy.
For example during a cuddle session:
❤️I love it when people rest their head on me, make me laugh, give me compressive hugs, and play little hand games (like thumb wrestling)
❌ I don't like people talking much about my attractiveness, kissing, and I'm sensitive to breath on my face/neck/chest.
I have a spacious, sunny living room with a couch, an over-sized beanbag chair that can comfortably fit a couple of people, and a Japanese style sleeping mat, and lots of pillows! So there are plenty of places to figure out what works best for you there. Spotify plays over wireless (suggestions welcome), I may have some incense or candles burning.
Things to know before arranging a session:
My availability is usually from 10-7 pm, Mondays through Fridays.
I'm only available by advanced booking usually as least a couple of days, please let me know you're availability.
I ask for a 50 dollar deposit to confirm a booking time, this can be payed via most on-line epay systems, this counts towards the total session cost. This helps make sure my time is valued and respected.
Very small dogs (less than 5 lbs) do live at my space, though I keep a HEPA filter running 24-7.
I suggest long pants and short sleeves for comfort as cuddling can be very passive and result in the body cooling down as the parasympathetic nervous system starts to relax you. Clients need to wear a tank top and knee length shorts at a minimum.
I am fully vaccinated and get tested regularly.
If you'd like to book an appointment with me, please plan on respecting the following guidelines.
👍 Understand the platonic nature of the service. I love the warmth, and connection of cuddling, but it's only going to be cuddling. (no really, cuddling only)
👍Know that I remain clothed for all cuddle sessions and ask you to do the same.
👍Communicate personal boundaries and what I find comfortable throughout each session.
👍 No sexual talk or nudity will be tolerated.
👍Practice respectful personal hygiene.
👍Before sending a booking request please message me the time/times that you are interested in so we can make sure the time/date works for both of us.
👍 Have otherwise read my full profile and understand my limitations.
