I'll cuddle you anywhere, just not here, at my home! Haha! (Unless we're friends or family.)
Business Practices: I *require* (no exceptions!) a Zoom chat before we meet to ensure that we're a good fit, 15 mins tops. I have a two hour minimum, with a $.65/mi fee, if the cuddle location is more than 20 miles from me. I prefer we chat for a few days, if not weeks, before meeting for a session. It helps me settle in, to not do "cold cuddles". Thanks for giving me as much advance notice of you coming to town as possible so we can make the best use of our time together!
I host private clients in my office spaces in Wheat Ridge, CO (Symmetry Collective) and in Arvada, CO at True Self Sanctuary); room rental is an extra $20/hr service fee. Pictures of the Arvada space in my photos!
