About me
Hello and welcome! If you are touch starved and ready to experience the felt sense of being unconditionally loved, you're in the right place.😊
Caring for humans and holding space for everything you’re afraid to be in polite society is my calling. Cry. Complain. Be sad, be petty, be joyful, or some other secret, fourth thing. I accept you.
I've done the Cuddlist certification, a workshop on the elements of touch, several hours of training with the wheel of consent, and an 8 hour workshop called "The Universe Behind the Hug". Other credentials include a year+ of massage training (clinical, deep tissue, relaxation and Thai), several somatic courses, 10 years of working in caregiving especially giving hospice massage and learning how to hold space for other humans. I also have done extensive study and practice in nonviolent communication and other communication modalities.
I bring big motherly energy to the space, or loving friend energy if that’s more your vibe. Nonjudgment and safety are important to me. My intention is to offer and hold space for you to relax completely into a sense of being cared for. I nerd out on the nervous system and somatics work, with bodywork available in tandem with cuddles.
Other things I'm into:
Mindfulness: meditation, yoga, somatics. Community Building. Very interested in psychedelics as used in healing trauma, especially childhood trauma. (Ask me about plant medicine sessions) Research. Data. Spirituality. Nondualism. Sci fi and self improvement.
Been diving into the gift economy and degrowth economics since 2023. I am committed to moving away from capitalism and towards communities of reciprocity and care. We shall see what that will look like as it unfolds. After I pay my house off I hope to merge more fully into my work on this planet without tying it to money.
I typically don't hang out with clients outside of sessions to keep boundaries clear and because I am very busy!
I usually only host but will consider being a guest if you either live close by or are willing to pay a fee for travel.
My location: If you Google "the Quarry Minneapolis" I host near there. Feel free to send a booking request and then we can do the initial (free) phone call to see if we are a good fit. 🌿🌿🌿 Looking forward to meeting you!
Please let me know as soon as possible if you can't make your appointment. Last minute cancellations/no call no shows will be subject to a 50% fee before you can book again with me.

We had an amazing session! I even asked to extend the time. Vivalalife is an amazing cuddler and made me feel amazing. I’ll be back soon.
We had a wonderful cuddle! She made me feel comfortable right away and is a great listener. The healing power of touch is real. I feel quite blessed to have met her and look forward to our next cuddle!

There's so much I want to say, it's maybe too much for a review. I read the 24 reviews before mine (notice they are all 5 stars, just like mine). What I want to do is vouch for every single one of them. They're not exaggerating. It's all true.

It was very fun to cuddle with vivalalife. I am quiet and nervous by nature but was very relaxed throughout the entire session. I hope to do another one soon!

What a great cuddler! She’s a very strong cuddler and great at massaging. She’s very intelligent, great at conversation, and very honest. Just an all-around beautiful person. I’m excited to see her again.

Vivalalife is an amazing person who creates right environment for the great conversation. My favorite discussion was to read and talk about a snippet from the book she had. Thank you again for the positive energy 😀

V met me with a warm welcome. Soon after, I realized she was so chill. She was fun to chat with. Wish we had more time. Her office studio was clean and very professionally decorated. I enjoyed my time with V. Will definitely see her again.
