Hi, I’m Viv 👋🏽

Craving warmth, calm, and a real connection? Think of the space I create as a heated blanket – warm, enveloping, existing without urgency. When you walk in, your shoulders drop, your breath deepens, and your tongue softens away from the roof of your mouth. You get to be the only focus – without pressure or expectation.

I’ve spent years creating havens for people who are always the “strong one.” Even if you’re not used to asking for what you need, you can feel cared for, rejuvenate, and set down what you’ve been carrying alone.

If this sounds like the kind of care you’ve been looking for – one that feels easy, genuine, and made for you – send me a message with the code word “Toasty” and I’ll share coffee chat times.

💛 What I Offer

This isn’t “just cuddling.” It’s a fully present, consent-based refuge where you can:
• Rest without performing or explaining yourself
• Feel supported without pressure or awkwardness
• Reconnect with your body, breath, and sense of being anchored

Whether you’re moving through burnout, loneliness, grief, or just miss being held, we shape each session around what actually feels nourishing for you.

🌱 Who This Is For

Most of my clients are introverts, deep feelers, or the “strong one” in their relationships. You might be:
• Missing touch and tired of feeling weird about asking for it
• Spending too much time in your head and missing closeness
• Curious about what it’s like to feel safe, held, and not needed

If you’re looking for someone who can meet you where you are and hold space for all of it – we’ll probably get along.

🌺 About Me

I’m warm, grounded, and especially good at helping people feel safe and valued. My approach is shaped by:
• Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
• Consent-based, somatic touch work
• The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker
• Years of holding space for people who feel like “too much” or “not enough”

I laugh too hard at my own jokes, start craft projects I may or may not finish, and have recently gotten way into laser-cutting. I love food adventures, late-night drives, and getting too emotionally invested in certain anime characters.

🚦 How We’ll Start

I don’t do long app message threads – I save my energy for being fully present when we meet. Here’s the simple flow:
1. Message me with the code word Toasty.
2. We meet for a short coffee chat in the South Bay to feel out the dynamic in person.
3. If we’re both a yes, we book your first session and co-create something restorative.

I am so glad you are pursuing this kind of connection. Prior cuddlers tell me they leave feeling lighter, steadier, and nourished. Whether it’s with me or someone else, I hope you find the same.
