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.

I got to meet Amy the other day and really enjoyed myself. Amy is refreshingly honest and she weaves a great story. She felt very joyful to me and my time with her flew by way too fast. So, I'm going to have to go back again. And again. And again.

Meeting Amy has been a wonderful experience. Sessions with her are wonderfully nurturing. She’s a special person. She made me feel immediately comfortable. We don’t talk very much but I really enjoy it when we do. Talking is wonderful and not talking as wonderful.

While I’ve only had three sessions with her I feel like our time together has been a catalyst in my life. My wife died last year. We were world-class cuddlers. And now I’m getting that experience again with Amy. It fills a void.

I would recommend anyone to book a session with Amy. You won’t regret it.

There are rare people who practice their profession with unmistakable mastery, and even rarer souls who elevate their craft into something quietly profound. Today, not knowing what to expect, I stepped into a carefully created sanctuary; one built from presence, respect, empathy, and remarkable emotional intelligence that cannot be taught, only embodied.

I cannot fully express how much this session moved me. I was reminded that people can only meet you as deeply as they are willing to meet themselves. Within that shared space of authenticity and care, something gently shifted inside me. I left holding rediscovered pieces of myself I had lost so many years ago. I left lighter, breathing deeper, and reminded that humanity is worthy.

I came there to regulate my central nervous system and trigger the benefits of oxytocin. I left with so much more. What existed in that space was an atmosphere of trust, compassion, and quiet light. It was a reminder that healing can arrive softly; through presence rather than effort, through being met with warmth, safety, and sincerity, one human to another.

I hold deep gratitude for this experience and the space that was created today. This practitioner is truly extraordinary. She is a powerful force of goodness through which the source flows freely. Treat her with respect, authenticity, kindness, and generosity. She is truly made of light. Thank you so much. 🙏

Amy is a sweetheart! She knows just how to minister to me when I am not having a good day as well as when I’m having a great day. She is a tender-hearted healer with wonderful mama vibes. I have received more healing in 10 months of cuddling with her than in 10 years of talk therapy. She is an answer to prayer and a wonderful woman. I’m grateful to know her.

Understanding “The Why” - theHugAlchemist believes in the power of a single person being able to make the world better. She just happens to do so through platonic touch. With her “Why” and “How” which is touch, she inspires change.

If you are considering cuddling at all, have any reservations or questions or hopes, Amy is the right person. She put me immediately at ease, allowed for and welcomed the plethora of emotions that arose, and somehow (magic?) situated us in calm, laughter, sadness, reflection, and quiet. Professional and patient, she breathed with me, read-saw-heard me. I left more grounded in my mind and body than I've felt in years. She is a rarity - a genuine and gifted human.

There is a reason her Karma is so extensive.

my experience with this provider was amazing! From the very beginning, her aura made me feel at ease & stood out as some of the most genuine, attentive, and caring person I’ve ever interacted with in a service setting. What really impressed me wasn’t just her ability to put me at ease quickly, but the way she went about it making sure that I felt comfortable, heard, and valued throughout the entire process. I wasn’t sure where to park and she gave me a detailed description of where to park and what cars are parked so I could park without facing any issues. Parking has been nightmare for me as I struggle to find parking in the cities. I’m an anxious driver so she made sure I was comfortable where I parked and gave me detailed description where I could park and gave me colors of the car parked so I don’t get lost. After parking , I was greeted warmly, and it felt like the person on the other end genuinely cared about what I was going through. She asked thoughtful questions, not just to check boxes, but to understand what I actually needed. Every step of the way, she reassured me that that my concerns mattered, and that she was there to help. That simple reassurance took away so much of the stress I had before even explaining my issue about my health. The level of patience she showed was unmatched. Even when I didn’t know the right words to explain the problem, she never once made me feel rushed or embarrassed. She made sure I felt comfortable before moving on. It was like having a knowledgeable friend and felt like I have known her for years. it was the care and respect she showed me that left the deepest impression. I liked the combination of pain relief with her massaging skills and cuddling skills as well. It was my first ever cuddling session !
By the end of our session, not only was pain was Lower from my health/injuries but I also felt a sense of trust and loyalty that’s hard to put into words. I felt like a person who mattered. That’s rare these days, and it’s the reason I’ll continue to recommend her to anyone I know who’s interested.
If you’re looking for someone truly authentic and genuine, she would be the perfect person who goes above and beyond to make sure you feel supported, safe, and respected, this is the one. Her presence isn’t just the best, it’s exceptional, and it left me with the kind of positive memory you don’t ever forget!

Getting to spend some time with Amy was a really enjoyable experience. She was able to make the experience feel very intimate and was willing to open up about parts of her life, and also hear things about mine.

For a long time, a lot of the interactions I've had with other people have felt bland or procedural, so getting to connect with someone over even a small period of time was really helpful.

This was my first time trying it, and Amy made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. I left the session feeling relaxed both mentally and physically!

Amy was such a joy to cuddle with. She made me feel so relaxed, after a long day at work, that I caught myself dozing off a few times. She's an absolutely sweet and kind person. I can't wait to come back to Minneapolis and cuddle with her again!

This was my first time trying this out, but she made it an amazing experience. She was present and she made me feel comfortable, heard, and safe throughout the session. Her touch is comforting and amazing and I left feeling relaxed, happy, and rejuvenated. I cannot recommend her enough!

I was so nervous to have my first session, my body was shaking as I approached her studio. However, she quickly dismantled my anxiety, like it was her mission -- through touch, but also through direct communication. It's as if I didn't have the opportunity to get in my head, because I was too focused on answering her great questions and listening to her great answers.

Also, I should mention, I came in with some physical limitations that I communicated about beforehand and she helped me problem solve the logistics in a way that removed shame and doubt.

I needed a confident sherpa to lead me through this initial experience and she was exactly that.

I'm grateful to have had a really great experience with Amy! It's one that I'll treasure. She's really good at facilitating an environment that is conducive to self discovery and healing.

Also, the practical stuff outside the cuddle session (scheduling, communication, etc.) were all on point.

Please don't hesitate to schedule a session with this talented healer and genuine human "bean".

There are moments in life that defy logic—when connection cuts through time and space, and you remember someone your mind has never met. That’s what happened with Radiatawellness. It was eerie, but not in a fearful way… more like a soul recognizing something ancient, something sacred.

The practitioner wasn’t just intuitive—she knew. Not through words, but through a presence that felt like home. There’s no way this was only physical. This was spirit work. This was energy aligning. I walked in for a session… and left with a sense of being seen on a level I can’t explain.

My soul recognizes what my eyes have never seen. I'm sure of it.
