Human contact...
the kind that counts
Physical & emotional safety. Surrounded by soft, while stress relief seeps into your soul. The weight of my hand in yours. Momentary stillness and calm in the chaos of life. All of this can be found in my arms. I have been facilitating safe & meaningful connection in Austin, TX through multiple modalities including professional cuddle therapy since 2012. I have a keen interest in the human experience; how we move through life and the joys we hold most dear. If you distill who we are and what we need down to its rawest form you'll find in most of us a soul who craves the comfort and presence of another. Elevate your self-care with touch therapy and tap into a primal sense of well-being.​

What is professional cuddle therapy? Professional cuddling is a non-sexual, platonic service where a trained professional offers physical contact, such as hugs, holding hands, and cuddling, in exchange for compensation. Cuddle therapy used to be niche but has since exploded in popularity, gaining traction in not only health and wellness communities but also receiving more and more recognition for its therapeutic benefits by medical professionals. Much literature can be found online about what it is and how it can help boost well being and stress relief. I've linked a couple below. If you've never tried cuddle therapy before, it can offer immense benefit so I encourage you to give it a try with myself or any of the many talented professional cuddle providers in your area.

What ISN'T professional cuddle therapy? Professional cuddle therapy is not sexual. All sessions are platonic and clothed. There’s a world of intimacy between isolation and sex that we can explore together in a safe and respectful way.
​
What do we wear? I wear whatever I want that is soft and comfortable. You may wear the same. The majority of clients wear a t-shirt and shorts. That works well. Soft yoga class type clothing cannot be beat for cuddles. The best cuddles are without a doubt COMFY CUDDLES!
How much does a cuddle session with me cost? Sessions start at $100/hr. I have a 1 hr. minimum. There is a travel fee for Outcall appointments as the location relates to Northwest Austin, TX. I do require the travel fee to be paid to be in advance when booking outcall appointments. Any remaining payment is due at the beginning of the session. Cash preferred, electronic payment accepted.
​
Where will we cuddle? Currently I am offering Outcall appointments in the Austin and surrounding areas. However my beautiful gothic cuddle budoir will be available for Incall sessions soon! Located in Northwest Austin, I have a cozy space that is discreet, safe, private and most of all..COMFY! Are you noticing a theme here? Follow me on my socials for updates on when Incalls are open.
Who will I cuddle? If you are respectful of my rules, boundaries and personhood, then I will offer my cuddle services to you. I have offered touch therapy and numerous other personal and professional services to a rich variety of people spanning ages, cultures & genders. Disabled? No problem. I myself have dealt with varying levels of disability throughout my life and I've worked with all kinds of clients with differing abilities and challenges. Women, LGBTQIA+, POC, disabled and vets all hold a special place in my heart! But don't worry everyone else, y'all are welcome too <3 Across all demographics, many of my clients are hardworking professionals, skilled craftspeople, students, artists, parents, entrepreneurs and retired and disabled individuals. Many people from many walks of life all seeking relief from stress, isolation, touch deprivation. Ultimately I cuddle those looking for peace and comfort.
How we will cuddle? You might be surprised by how many people ask this question. Maybe you haven't had the opportunity to cuddle much? Professional cuddle sessions are an amazing way to ease into beneficial physical contact on your terms, at your preferred pace, no strings attached. I have a lot of experience with first time and long time cuddlers so I am able to meet you where you are at. There's a wide variety of physical positions two people might find themselves cuddling in. I've found that these are easier to explore in person than in words and starting with a simple embrace as our nervous systems and energies adjust to each other's presence is best and then we build upon that. I plan on doing a series of some cuddle positioning videos in the future, keep an eye on socials for that. As a reminder, we will always cuddle clothed.
What do I do to ensure safety for both of us during our session? I maintain clear covid/sickness protocol. If I am sick I will let you know and we will reschedule and I require all clients to do the same. I am vaccinated and take my health and the health of my clients seriously. Bed linens are always freshly changed and masks are always available upon request. All sessions begin with hand washing and any other necessary sanitation measures. No physical touch will happen without clear consent and consent may be withdrawn by either party at anytime.
Will I travel to other places for a cuddle session? Absolutely! I have cuddled in many locations and love to travel. Travel rates available upon request.
What should you do before a session to prepare? Not only do I prefer good hygiene, I require it. Freshly showered, clean clothing and brushing teeth are all a must before we spend time together. I will always maintain those same standards for myself and put my best foot forward during our sessions so I expect the same in return. Once my Incall space is available, I will have a fully equipped bathroom with a shower, garden bath and clean towels available for clients to use if you prefer to take care of that during your session time. Otherwise, taking care of it before you come over for your session works too.
Do I offer any specialized/unique cuddle experiences? I'm so glad you asked. After an introductory initial session there are many different unique and customizable offerings available. Click here to see some examples of these options.
