Hi!! 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

I really value messages that feel personal and friendly rather than transactional (please don’t send me “hey” or “available?” messages or I will cry) so please keep that in mind. Yes, I’m a professional service provider, but I’m also a human being who loves connecting with others :)

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.

My posted rate is based on a 2 hour minimum session (recommended). For 1 hour sessions, I charge $200. Please specify your preference!

I prefer to host, but if you’d like me to come to you, my rate is $175/hour for 2+ hours or $200 for 1 hour. Uber/Lyft reimbursement is also expected.

NOTE: I do not travel to clients without an established presence here and significant karma.

I reserve the right to ask for photo ID for verification and safety purposes on an as needed basis.

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.

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.

🔔BOUNDARIES

Sessions are strictly platonic without exception. 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.

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 have absolutely loved getting to know so many people I never would’ve met otherwise since I started offering virtual sessions. Such a joy.

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!
