You Are Safe With Me
Building on my social work education and lifetime of caring for children and adults, I have become certified as a Cuddlist, as well as in Mental Health First Aid. These foundations enable me to approach you with curiosity, competence, and an unconditional positive regard for you and your needs. I am joyous to be able to work with folx of all kinds, but I especially enjoy Honorable Elders and Emerging Adults.
Using open dialog, platonic physical contact, and abiding with the Cuddlist Code of Conduct we are able to explore and discover precisely what kind of physical presence is best for you in any given moment. Anything from big boisterous bear hugs to barely-there body doubling is fair game for our sessions. Whether we have a session at your place, my Cuddle Suite, an event or outdoor location, I look forward to meeting with you soon!
Where to begin?
Our initial meeting will be over Zoom. We will discuss what you are interested in during the sessions, and what I can do to facilitate your needs being met. After we agree to have a working relationship, our sessions can be almost anywhere. I have my Cuddle Suite in my home in Rogers Park. We can also meet in your home, in social settings, at the lake, parks, universities, cafes, theaters - wherever suits your needs!
Services
I offer all services for $100 per full hour and $25 per quarter hour. with a one hour minimum. More information can be found on the Small Print page.
Cuddle
A familiar cuddle, where we spend platonic time together in relaxed body positions. This session is typically good for grief, loneliness, stress, and studying boundaries and consent. These sessions are good for solos, couples, and folx of all kinds and relationship arrangements.
Tucking In
I help you get ready for bed with reminders to brush teeth and set an alarm. Then we cuddle with stories, chatter about the day, or maybe even a lullaby. As you drift off I stay present with rhythmic breathing, back rubs, or cuddles. A great session the night before a presentation or exam!
Companionship
Time spent together, but not in physical contact the whole time. We can go to movies, read together, play chess, visit historic sites, have meals, or other social activities. Typically for solos, these sessions will usually have less physical contact than a regular cuddle would.
