About me
Hello dear ones,
Thank you so much for taking the time to explore more about me. My name is River - those who know me would agree that I am an incredibly sweet, loving and compassionate individual.
I am a huge cuddle fanatic. I love soft touch and warm energy and absolutely love to give and receive cuddles. I have been practicing as a professional cuddler for over two years, but my studies of somatics, communication and energy extend far before that.
For our cuddle session, I will work cultivate an energetic presence for you to be in the full embodiment of whatever you seek out of the experience.
Why you might want to work together:
- simply to be held, and/or to hold
- to give yourself the time to be in presence with your heart and to be held in that
- to express yourself to someone: your stress, your sorrows, your joys, and to be held in that
- to feel the connection and beauty of sharing touch
- to treat yourself with one of the most supportive coregulation techniques
I am a great listener and am open to holding space for anything you want to talk through. I've always been someone who is always there to lend an ear for friends and family going through hard times. I also have training in Non-Violent Communication (NVC) and have a trauma-informed background. When sharing touch, I love to give and also to receive. am open to caressing your arm, rubbing your shoulders, offering a gua-sha based facial lymphatic release massage, being the big spoon, and offering a variety of shapes and methods of holding and being held.
Before the session:
- If you're interested in booking with me, please send me a direct message before putting in the schedule booking. In your message, please include a short sentence or two on why you feel called to work together.
- I do not host cuddle sessions in-home. All initial sessions will take place either in a hotel or an AirBnB. If we have worked together a few times, we can have sessions in your home after building that trust and connection.
- Location for the session must be confirmed 48 hours before the session begins. Either you can book the location, or pay me the cost to book the location.
What I will provide during the session:
- A check in process to discover where we want the session to go based on your desires in that moment
- Connection that supports your healing and your personal needs/desires (eye gazing, touch, massage, deep listening, reflective feedback, a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Additional notes:
- I require a two hour minimum for booking. Ideal initial sessions are either 2 hours or 3 hours.
- Overnights are only available to clients who have already worked with me at least two other times.
- I generally require at least two weeks notice before booking a date. This can vary, but please connect with me about your interest before we look into dates that work for scheduling.
- Payment is required when we both arrive to location, before the session begins. Acceptable payment includes Cash, Venmo, PayPal, Cash App.
- Clothing: REQUIRED. You must be covered to the extent agreed to in Cuddle Comfort Guidelines, and I will be covered as well. Asking for me to remove any clothes will result in an immediate end to the session. Please come prepared yourself by wearing clothing you will be comfortable in throughout the cuddle session.
- Sexual: Cuddle sessions are not sexual spaces. If you are looking for this, please search elsewhere. That being said, sometimes arousal happens naturally. This is nothing to be embarrassed about! If this does occur, we will simply take a few steps back physically & energetically and breathe into a more grounded energy.
- If I haven't responded to you in a few days, I may be traveling. Please feel free to message me again and remind me that you are waiting on a reply!
- I will not drink alcohol during a session and require that you will not either.
