About me
Hi There! Welcome!
If you found my profile, you are at the right place at the right time and there’s a reason you’re here! I’m truly grateful for YOU, and whatever part of your healing journey you are on, you are welcome!
Now take a breath and please ask yourself these 4 simple yet profoundly deep questions...
1. Are you sore and achy and in need of a physical tune up, or needing some cozy cuddles, or an enriching connective energetic experience?
2. Would you like to feel connected with someone that only wants you to feel special, loved, safe, accepted, seen, heard and comfortable no matter your age, color, gender, sexuality or anything else that makes you wonderfully uniquely you?
3. Has it been a while since you had the warm presence of a caring nurturing person, who will hold space for you, with no judgment and allow you to feel and experience deep connective love and support?
4. Do you have the courage to open up a little and ask for what you need, join me and other caring souls in this groundbreaking therapy of breaking generational cycles of repression, trauma and letting go and healing those deep wounds through touch, acceptance and connection within yourself ?
Well look no further! I’m here to empower you through touch! 😄
Hi I’m Rose, (pronoun She/her) and touch has been a huge part of my life for over 20 years!
As a person that didn’t feel loved or appreciated with healthy supportive touch as a kid, when I realized what it was, I gradually found ways to give it to myself and others. I learned as much as I could about it, and as an adult through self reflection, experimentation, dedication academically as well as in practice, and now leadership leading group therapies and 1 on 1 sessions, I share healthy loving touch with you as a Touch Therapist!

My journey
As a child I was neglected and abused. I didn't know why, I just knew it felt bad and coped with it by escaping into my world of imagination and the woods. Home life was scary and isolating. I got good grades did my best but was rarely given positive healthy attention and was always afraid of being hurt by an adult or sibling. I was quiet, polite and very shy.
As I grew I learned to repress parts of myself and be a people pleaser for survival. I was brought up in a scary non secure environment and guardians that didn't know the power and beauty of touch and acceptance. They didn't know it because they weren't given it! So I looked for it in other places. Places like school, TV, friends’ and other homes and places.
When I saw people hug on TV, or in real life, I saw how happy and filled with joy they were, so I decided to start doing it to everyone! It worked! People were happy when I did it, and since they were happy I was safe, and received positive touch or compliments back, first surprised then positive and healthy. I didn't know it at the time, but I was creating a ripple of positive healing touch with my simple yet healing actions!
As I grew older I learned about other touches such as therapeutic massage, energy work, reiki, and much more. I began to include it in my interactions with others and noticed there was a positive and enriching response.
I became that person others turned to, a place others could let go. I became that kind nurturer and learned how much pain, trauma and loneliness so many of us carry. I learned how having a non-judging compassionate person to hold space and/or hold us is incredibly healing!
So as soon as I could, I began the journey of learning how to be a healer through touch. I went to school for Therapeutic Massage, got certified in Cuddle therapy, Reiki and have attended numerous workshops to immerse myself in growing knowledge of touch from ancient to modern practice. I’ve spent most of my adult life learning and practicing the science, art, and magic of touch through academic and shamanic spiritual studies.
I've spent years learning from the trauma of the past, accepting it, processing and reflecting on my personal shadow work, releasing it and healing those deep wounds with in. I learned how to accept myself and my scars and how to forgive myself and others!
I now take the gifts of what I've learned to help others, to do the same and show them how self-care and moments of rest, relaxation, fun and connection are paramount in everyone's life!
…………………………….
Why & How it works!
Healthy positive touch such as massage, cuddles, hugs, etc create oxytocin, an enzyme in your body that is released with nurturing touch and close connection with another. This creates benefits and lays a foundation for mental, social and emotional well-being, and strengthening emotional bonds and trust,
Examples: easing stress; helps with heart & circulation ; relieves pain; fights colds; connections with your partner or other relationships ; helps you sleep better; boost memory and the list goes on and on.
At the very core of all of us there is deep knowing and desire for the touch of love and acceptance. We all crave it! That simple yet deep connection which is essential has been missing for many of us, especially in our busy lives.
Our minds, bodies, even soul know what is needed! Positive healing nurturing touch and a deep connection to ease, relax and heal the mind body connection, within ourselves as well as others.
Many of us received it as a child when we were hurt—falling off a bike, or something physical that required our guardians to help us in some way.
Or when we did something that was approved and acceptable by our peers or family. A pat on the shoulder or hand touch.
Many of us unfortunately experienced it through punishment and conditioning, stemming from people repressing their true selves and then forcing us to repress our authentic selves as well. All of this conditionally also known as Shadow behavior conditioning! Basically the carrot or the stick! reward or punishment based on fear!
When we don’t receive it, on a regular basis many ailments and mental issues can result., aches, pains, illness, diseases, cancer, etc.
As well as mental health issues such as sadness, mental fatigue, depression, anxiety, repression, mental disorders, etc.
Does this sound like what you are or have experienced?
No matter who you are, or where you’ve been, or what you’ve done with your life, we all deserve to feel love, appreciation and acceptance through touch!
Let’s level up and be healthier together! Let’s break the patterns that were forced on us as kids. Let’s release the stress and conditioning and learn to receive and have the courage to ask for what we need, and accept it with deep appreciation!
We have the power and ability to let go of the patterns and behaviors of the past and give ourselves better health through better understanding and treating ourselves and others in a gentler, healthier, loving way!

The Process & Practice spaces
*It starts with a few questions answered, a vibe check call and then confirming your apt by text and on this site! That simple!
100% Transparency & honesty is important to me! It’s the bridge of trust and healing!
Vibe check call:
We will discuss basic fundamental questions & concerns over the phone to check in with the vibes and address boundaries, concerns and intentions. We talk about experience, fears, likes, dislikes, boundaries, allergies, level of touch, kinds of touch and levels of comforts physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
We will discuss payment and any and all logistics for the session.
The space/The healing Temple/ Sacred spaces:
I welcome you to come to me. I have prepared special spaces to give you a safe tranquil and cozy experience where you can unwind and truly feel appreciated to let go. These spaces are designed to give you an enriching, open, fun and sacred experience.
Travel to you is limited, but doable:
I am willing to come to you, however please understand that will be determined based on distance and what transportation is available. I will need to bring multiple items, such as table, stool, sheets, towels, cushions, creams, oils and any other equipment needed so grabbing a Lyft or Uber is tricky, but doable under the right circumstance.
I will charge $20 per each hr traveled.
In session: unwinding comfort:
Once in session you will be welcome to express your comfort levels and anything else that gives you that quality time you seek. I will check in first to go over boundaries and intentions. As we are humans, sometimes we want something different from day to day, so I will ask to confirm things are as agreed. This creates trust and gives you a voice to any changes, mentally, physically, emotionally, all deserve respect and are worth the time checking in.
Generally I will put on high vibrational soothing meditation music but if there is a particular band or type of music that gives you joy, I'd be happy to play that instead. Depending on what the session expectations are, we will go with the flow starting with gentle introduction to hand holding or closeness by sitting.
…………………….
How do I do it?
You’d be surprised how often we don’t truly enjoy being in our bodies. Touch allows us to feel alive, and in the present, not trapped in our minds. It helps us accept and appreciate ourselves and let go. Letting go of the need to hold on and protect the pain is what we do subconsciously and it takes its tolls on our bodies, minds and spirit. It makes us age faster by creating pain, blocking the natural flow, creating ailments, diseases, cancers, etc.
However I understand that what we feel we heal! When we relax and allow ourselves to let go and unwind and connect with ourselves we start loosening, and releasing all of that tension and we age slower, we start healing from the inside,and our potential soars!
I help you come back into alignment within yourself. With each session I help you relax, come to a state of calm, reconnect with your body, reconnect with your deeper self and feel something new. This is a new level of acceptance within yourself, a new way to connect the mind-body-spirit connection and feel deeper healing energy aka love through each touch.
The mind-body-spirit experience is personal, special and unique. Just as YOU ARE SPECIAL AND UNIQUE! You have the ability to heal and maintain a healthy balance from within.
So each session is tailored to each person.
I create a warm, safe space where you can be yourself!
I want you to be comfortable!

Session Breakdowns:
Cuddling Sessions:
For cuddling holding hands or playing footsie is an easy intro to touch, and you do have the option to do free play such as playing video games, dance, paint, color, build a blanket fort, get a gentle massage, play cards or go on walks, etc. whatever speaks to your heart and soul that is comfortable for both of us. It's our time to unwind and have fun! If you have an idea, please feel free to speak up and offer. My goal is that you are seen, heard, understood and valued for the time shared.
In a cuddle or reiki session, clothes are mandatory, however, you will be welcome to wear anything from shorts, pajamas, a onesie, to standard everyday clothes. I recommend what you wear to feel cozy and loose.
Massage Sessions:
Before the massage I will check in with you and we will sit and discuss your intensions, boundaries, problem area, and any contraindicated areas such as rashes, open wounds, bruises, obstructions such as ports, pace makers, etc. I will ask you to walk or move your body in different ways to get a clear understanding of any problem areas. Once that is established I will leave the room for your privacy so you can disrobe based on your comfort.
In a massage session clothes are optional, based on your comfort level. You will be draped with a sheet accordingly. At no time during the massage will I touch your bikini area or any area clothed, or draped over. (no exceptions)
I generally start at your head and work my way down based on what areas are requested and need worked on. I specialize in Swedish, Thai, and general intuitive feel based on what your body is telling me and what I physically feel and intuitively feel in your nervous and systems.
Massage & Cuddle combo:
This is a table massage (see above under massage) followed by a cuddle session (see above under cuddle session). If you are looking for a massage without the intimacy of a closer connection and just wish to unwind on the table, fall asleep and be pampered, then held and snuggled after for aftercare and have a closer connection with your massage therapist/healer, then this is for you!
Cuddle with gentle massage:
This is a cuddle session (see above under cuddle session) with a gentle massage during or after the cuddle portion. These session are about nurturing comfort with some attention given to tight overused areas of the body. It involves a closer amount of intimacy with the addition of gentle massage during.
Reiki Session:
Before the session I will check in with you and we will sit and discuss your experience, intentions, boundaries, triggers, emotions, comfort of energy work. Then after that is established you lay on the massage table and relax. Clothes are mandatory for this session, unless combined with massage.
We do breathing exercises and I touch or hover my hands over your body based on your comfort. I recommend using the sheet or blanket provided as your core body temperature may decrease during this process. You may experience released of energy such as burping, farting, sneezing, crying, body twitches, etc, these are all normal as I work with your energy and you release and purge, calm or activate the nervous, emotional and/or mental body.
