Why i do this work

Generally, at some point in every session, I feel love, that I am actively putting love into the world. I am next to, possibly wrapped up with, another person who I may have just met. An hour ago, they were a stranger.

The extent of our relationship prior to this moment was a 10 minute introductory phone call. And now we are holding hands and talking, cuddling facing each other and laughing, or spooning in sweet silence. Sometimes there's tears of joy, of pain, of shame. And we hold each other through it. It's a blessing to be a part of the beauty of connecting with another.

I had read about cuddling as a service over the years. When one day I started to contemplate a second job, it popped up and just stuck there in my brain. I then spent several months thinking and researching before taking the plunge--and that plunge has led me to the most "me" I have ever been.

I believe that I am meant to do this work. I am honored that clients show up as their true selves with me, often sharing things they have not shared with others, and we hold each other. It's such a basic, human thing. Touch. It's the most vulnerable and the most powerful of things. I hope I get to share it with you.
