“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a
listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.'

Leo F. Buscaglia

ABOUT

ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME

Whatever brought you to my page, I’m so glad you are here.

If you want to feel less alone, anxious or sad

If you want to feel more connection, joy, and fulfillment

If you need/want more touch in your life, but it doesn't feel safe

If you just think cuddling is fantastic...

You are in exactly the right place. I can’t wait to meet you and hopefully be a part of an experience that makes your life better.

 

Since 2015 I've been supporting clients as a Cuddle Therapist and Boundaries and Consent Educator in both individual and group settings. In 2017 I co-founded CuddleXpo, the first ever convention for cuddle professionals. In 2022 I joined the Board of Directors for the 501c3 Cuddle Party Inc. which leads the field in boundaries and consent facilitation training. In 2020 I became the Director of Development for Cuddlist.

​

In addition to my years of experience and extensive training in the field of cuddle therapy, I continue to build my skills with education in IFS, EFT, somatic experiencing, Wheel of Consent embodiment practices, Uzazu, and more. I have thousands of session hours and have helped hundreds of clients get their touch needs met. I mentor other professionals in the field and help them improve their practice. This work is my life’s purpose and I bring that quality to every session.

 

My broader ambition for the professional cuddling industry is to foster an interdisciplinary community of practitioners, to increase the standard of quality represented within the modality, and to improve accessibility to resources for practitioners.

 
I hope you let me share all I have to offer with you.
