What is Professional Cuddling?
Professional cuddling is a carefully negotiated one-on-one experience with a trained cuddler, in which the client dictates how and when they would like to be touched. Sessions can involve everything from light arm stroking to slow dancing to full-body spooning. It is, truly, the opposite of so many of our physical experiences in the world: non-sexual, safe and consensual.
What you’ll recieve
What to expect
Pre-session check-in to establish limits, express worries or desires, and set the expectations.
All touch given and received will be done with non-sexual intent and in a non-sexual manner.
Sessions can be 1-3 hours scheduled as-needed
Please review the Cuddle Agreements before scheduling your session.
Why hire a Cuddler?
As we allow ourselves to be more authentic the ways we have traded our authenticity for physical safety become clearer. We begin to “let the soft animal of your body love what it loves,” which can be remarkably activating depending on your unique history.
These histories may include experiences or witnessing of:
Social distancing and isolation
Cultural or religious stigmas
Gender or sexuality related stigmas
Overt or covert shaming of desires for physical touch
Acts or threats of physical abuse or neglect
Physical violence or sexual assault
Professional cuddling creates a safe container to explore and experience platonic physical touch in ways that support the process of healing from internalized messaging and harmful past experiences.

My people say "I can be myself with you in a way that I can't be anywhere else in my life. It's like you see who I really am underneath all the messiness of my current human experience and you help me see it too. I feel held with love and compassion and free to be exactly who and how I am."
I am 29 years old and identify as queer, non-binary, gender fluid, and polyamorous. I practicing relationship anarchy and radical authenticity in my day-to-day life. My cuddling style is rooted in energetic attunement, authenticity, and boundaries. We can talk or not, your choice. If we talk you should know that I don't do superficial. Shadow work, unearthing and dismantling shame, and healing with self-compassion are my primary special interests.
Hi, I’m Melinda. I’m an artist, relationship nerd, and recovering codependent. I support people to connect with who they really are and be their raw, real, messy, human selves. I help people feel seen and supported as they transform their lives and relationships to match their insides. Together we create the container for authentic relating that supports us to return to our humanity through somatic connection, co-regulation, compassionate inquiry, and radical rest.
