Platonic Cuddle Therapy (San Francisco, CA)

Platonic Cuddle Therapy

In our American culture ideas about boundaries and relationship behavior are very backwards. It is important to find people you can have open conversations with about appropriate boundaries and healthy relationship agreements. I can help you practice your communication skills solidify your own ideas about what you want and what your boundaries are and give you some ideas on how to negotiate agreements with the people in your life.I am a good listener and I find that many people just need someone to listen and then give them a hug. I would love to do that for you. I offer a safe space to relax and be you without judgement.Touch is a basic need like sleep or food. You can get by on junk food or short yourself of sleep for a while but your mood deteriorates and life is not good when you deprive yourself of sleep or healthy food over time. It is the same with meaningful fulfilling touch. Private cuddling offers one avenue to receive that healthy touch and human connection that is so necessary to a full life. A friend of mine calls it Vitamin H(uman). I prescribe it for all of us.My process is a little different from other cuddlers. I prefer to communicate by email or messaging and to set up a face to face meeting as soon as possible to discuss working together. I have a day job and a personal life so while I will usually respond within 24 hours I mostly check my email weekday mornings. I am rarely available to meet or set up a session on that same day. This process may take a couple days. The intake meeting is free. We will meet in a public place like a coffee shop the library or the park for a free intake interview for about 20-30 minutes. We will go over my agreement form. This will give us a chance to get to know each other and for you to ask all of your questions before we mutually decide if we want to book with each other. I can work with more than one person if you would like to bring a chaperone observer friend partner or significant other. They must also be at the intake interview.When you fill out the session request sheet keep in mind that you are requesting this new client intake interview not an actual session. We will arrange our session after we speak in person and decide if booking together is right for us.I prefer to start with out-calls for new clients. We can cuddle at the movies at the park a space that you provide or decide to rent at your place at a coffee shop in a hotel lobby or wherever you feel comfortable.What to expect from a session with me Whatever the client wants and I am comfortable sharing with them within the code of conduct is allowed. Most probably we will talk. I really love to discuss wellness consent relationships boundaries and agreement negotiations. I can present several resources and I ve done a lot of research on those subjects. I can offer you a reiki session sing with you (or to you) play a game or teach you to knit crochet while our shoulders touch. We can talk about whatever helps you to relax. I can offer several guided meditations or we may just decide to breathe together.Of course I also offer healthy consensual touch which is something almost everyone needs and very few receive in a fulfilling way. For me these sessions are about offering presence and connection with another human being this is why I need to meet you in person before agreeing to book a session. Presence and healthy touch can facilitate relaxation and healing. I offer to hold safe space for you to be yourself and relax without judgement. I will be there for YOU you get to decide how the session will go.
