Attuned Co-regulation & Nervous System Support | In-person or Online
Somatic Cuddle Sessions are a dynamic, non-sexual, clothed, consent-centered and touch-based healing experience.
The Healing Combo = Talk Therapy + Bodywork + Coaching + Somatics + Mindfulness + Nervous System Regulation
These sessions blend the wisdom of embodiment coaching, therapeutic presence, and healing touch into a deeply nourishing experience designed to help you soften, reconnect, and return home to yourself.
We are living through a touch-deprived epidemic. Touch is not a luxury. It is a fundamental human need.
Whether you're navigating grief, loneliness, burnout, major life transitions, or simply longing for meaningful connection, these sessions offer a compassionate space to be supported, held, and receive care without needing to perform, fix, or achieve anything.
Extended sessions available following first session.
Oxytocin is the hormone associated with trust, bonding, and relaxation as well as support immune function.
Cortisol is the body's primary stress hormone, lower heart rate and blood pressure while also reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation. High cortisol is a leading factor in autoimmune diseases.
Human skin contains specialized C-tactile nerve fibers specifically designed to respond to slow, gentle, caring touch. Our biology is wired for connection.
To help create the most comfortable, grounded, and supportive experience possible, please take a few moments to prepare before we meet.
- Arrive clean, freshly showered, and sober. Please no fragrances, lotions, and oils.
- Wear comfortable lounge clothing that allows ease, movement, and relaxation. Andrea will also be in lounge clothing.
- Arrive a few minutes early so you can settle into the space and transition out of the pace of daily life
- Bring anything that we discuss in our call that will help you feel comfortable, supported, and regulated
- Clear an hour from your schedule, if you are able, after your session to integrate, hydrate, and slowly return to the pace of the day. Many people find that having spaciousness afterward helps them notice the effects of the session more fully.
- Sessions are fully clothed.
- Sessions are non-sexual.
- Sessions are consent-centered.
- Sessions are sober and substance-free.
- Touch is always collaborative and guided through ongoing consent.
- Conversation is welcome but never required.
- Your boundaries, comfort, and agency matter throughout the entire experience.
Many clients arrive carrying stress, grief, overwhelm, loneliness, transition, or simply a longing for nurturing human connection. You do not need to perform, impress, or be anything other than yourself. Just come as you are!
