Cuddle therapy in NYC doesn’t have to feel weird or clinical. It can just feel… human. 💛

I host sessions in my cozy studio in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Think soft lighting, comfy pillows, and a calm space where you get to slow down and actually feel your body exhale.

My cuddle therapy sessions are: • Fully clothed + non-sexual • Client-led • Confidential • Centered around boundaries and comfort • Trauma-informed.

If you’re craving warm, nurturing touch and want to try cuddle therapy in NYC, you’re welcome in my space.
To find the studio, just search Embrace Club on Google Maps.  To book, download the Embrace Club app.

Some people cannot sleep while cuddling the whole night, however, most of them definitely sleep better after cuddling. I often cuddle my clients in the evening and they report resting better. This is one of the many benefits of cuddling, but it only happens when you feel safe with the person.

Just curious, are you the type of person who can cuddle the whole night?

Starting on September 15th, 2026, my rate will be $200 per hour.

I’m also pausing my sliding scale for now. I might revisit it in the future and I’ll say so here when I do.

Sessions already on the books will be honored at the current rate.

If we’ve worked together before and this puts things out of reach, message me. I’d rather hear from you than lose you quietly.

Thank you 💜

Professional cuddling isn’t romantic, it’s trained, consensual, platonic touch therapy.

📍 Offering sessions in Seattle from July 30th through Aug 5th. Book by downloading the Embrace Club app

It has been 11 years in the US 😮‍💨Got here in 2015 knowing no one and my English was bad.
It was hard. I was trying to adapt, to meet people, and the whole time I missed my friends and family back in Costa Rica. I wish I had somewhere I could have a good cry while someone held me, and just vent about the whole thing - #cryinginspanish 😅
Back in 2015 I didn’t know that was something I could ask for. Now I hear from people all the time going through the same situation… new here and homesick.
So I built the thing I wish I’d had back then. ❤️‍🩹

After 6 years of this work, I can tell you the people who book sessions aren’t who you’d think.
Not who most people picture. Not for the reasons most people assume.
I wrote down what I’ve actually seen. Link in bio.

When you run into clients in public…

No, for real, what happens if we run into each other in public?

I’ll pretend I don’t know you. 😅
Not because I’m rude, because your privacy matters more than a hello. If you want to greet me, I’ll greet you back warmly. If you walk past, I’ll let you. You’re always the one who decides.
This is what professional platonic cuddling looks like in practice: inclusive, client-centered, confidential, and trauma-informed. Every choice, including whether we acknowledge each other on the street, is yours.
