Hi! I’m Mel, an NYC-based touch therapist, consultant, and educator. I’m so glad you’re here 🥰

If you’re interested in booking a session with me, please include the following in your first message:

* Your name
* A clear, recent photo
* Your session availability

At the heart of my work is a genuine love of people and connection. I approach every person I meet with empathy, compassion, and curiosity. I completely understand that reaching out for something like this can feel incredibly vulnerable. Whoever you are, whatever brings you here, my hope is that you feel welcomed, respected, and cared for.

Payment is required at the time of booking to secure your session. I currently accept Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, Apple Cash, and Chime. I do not accept cash or gift cards.

🏠 HOSTING FEES

1 Hour — $200
2+ Hours — $150/hr

🚗 TRAVEL FEES

1 Hour — $200/hr
2+ Hours — $175/hr
(+ Uber/Lyft fees to and from your location)

Sessions can be a combination of cuddling, therapeutic touch, and conversation, tailored to what feels most comfortable and supportive for you. I strive to offer a space where you can lay down whatever you may be carrying. While sessions are not a substitute for talk therapy, I often work in conjunction with mental health professionals and I’m always happy to offer a patient listening ear.

🚕 TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS

If you’d like me to come to you, I require ID verification for safety purposes, along with Uber/Lyft transportation to and from your location covered in advance.

If you are contacting me from a new account or an account with little to no history, I am only available to host.

🔔BOUNDARIES

Sessions are strictly platonic without exception. Any sexual advances will not be tolerated and will be reported.

I reserve the right to decline, cancel, or end a session at any time if boundaries are pushed or violated, I am treated disrespectfully, or I reasonably believe continuing the session would compromise my safety, comfort, or boundaries. Sessions cancelled or ended due to client conduct are not eligible for a refund, and inappropriate conduct may be reported to the platform.

Boundaries are essential for both provider and client. I expect the same level of safety, respect, and predictability that I provide for everyone who walks through my door.

💻 VIRTUAL SESSIONS

I’m currently prioritizing in-person sessions for local clients. Virtual availability is limited and primarily reserved for those who are too far away to meet in person.

Virtual sessions can be held via Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime, WhatsApp, Telegram, or Signal and follow the same strictly platonic boundaries as in-person sessions.

I look forward to meeting you soon!
