Choosing to explore healing and personal growth through touch is a beautiful act of self-care. Whether you're new to cuddle therapy or just curious about what my practice looks like, this post will walk you through what to expect before, during, and after your session.

My goal is to co-create an environment rooted in consent, care, and comfort. A space for you to soften into safety and connection at your own pace.

Scheduling the Appointment

Booking your session is easy and can be done directly through my website. Please allow up to 2-business days for a response, which will include possible dates and times for your appointment along with responses to any questions asked on the request form. If you're not ready to schedule an appointment but are interested in learning more, we can do a brief call and/or a public meet-and-greet to provide additional time for questions.

Rescheduling and Refunds

Life happens, and we make room for it. All appointments can be rescheduled with at least 24 hours' notice. Cancellations within 24-hours will provide full payment. Failure to provide payment for appointments cancelled within 24-hours (with the exception of emergencies) may result in termination of the client-provider relationship.

Home-Based Provider

My services are provided from a private, home-based practice in a quiet, comfortable space designed to support connection and nervous system regulation. There are a few important things to know about my home-based practice.

Animals in the home

I share my space with large but friendly dogs, mine and those I provide care for. There are also currently two litters of different ages. All animals stay out of the dedicated "Cuddle Room" during session with the exception of mama cat the seven littles she's nursing. Couch linens, cushions, and blankets are washed regularly.

Parking

There is free street parking near the home. After your session is confirmed, you'll receive location details.

The Cuddle Room

The session space is a dedicated private room with lots of natural light. Pillows, cushions, and blankets in varied textures are available, including a weighted blanket. You are welcome to bring a personal cozy item for your session as well.

Chat and Consent Conversations

We'll check-in before the session begins. This brief conversation includes:

Any injuries, limitations, or health needs
The emotional space you're arriving in
Questions, needs, and boundaries
Which cuddle positions feel good to you today

Consent is an ongoing conversation. I will check in with you through the session, and you're encouraged to speak up about any adjustments or changes you need. Your "no" is honored with the same respect and warmth as your "yes."

Aftercare and Check-In

Healing through touch can feel relaxing, emotional and even euphoric. That's because physical affection releases "feel good hormones" such as oxytocin and serotonin. These hormones help people feel connected, soothed, and safe. After a session, you may experience a range of things including:

A sense of emotional openness or grounding
Physical or emotional fatigue or a general need to rest
Emotions and memories surfacing
A desire for more connection or support

I provide support after sessions to all clients. I check in via text or email within 48 hours of every first session, and anytime after upon request. I encourage you to process anything that comes up for you during sessions. I'm also available to clients for additional resources, please don't hesitate to send an email with any questions you have.

Final Thoughts

Cuddle sessions are not about performance, they're about presence. Whether you're looking for comfort, stress relief, emotional regulation, or simply to be held, you will be met with warmth, respect, and safety. Your sessions is a space for you.
