Hi, I’m Jen — and if you’re here, you’re probably craving something simple but deeply powerful: safe, caring touch.

Maybe you’ve been feeling alone, disconnected, or starved for closeness. Maybe you miss being held without expectations — just warmth, presence, and acceptance. You’re not broken. You’re human. And you don’t have to go through it alone.

At Cuddle Jen, I help touch-craving and touch-loving humans reconnect with themselves and others through authentic, platonic, non‑sexual touch. Every cuddle session is a space for you to breathe, feel, and be wholly accepted — no masks, no judgments.

My background in nursing, caregiving, and doula work has given me a deep understanding of emotional and physical care. Over the past decade, I’ve trained in everything from trauma responsiveness and relationship dynamics to professional cuddling and community connection. This journey has shaped me into what I call a “relationship doula” — someone who helps people nurture connection in one of the most human ways possible: through safe touch.

Who I Work With

Everyone. I welcome people of all backgrounds, bodies, and identities — across age, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, relationship style, neurotype, or ability. I’m neurodivergent, sex‑positive, solo‑partnered, poly‑informed, and kink‑affirming. Everyone deserves safety and connection.

Disclosure

I’m not a therapist or medical professional, but I am committed to being trauma‑responsive — meaning I meet you where you are, attuned to how your body and emotions show up. If something arises that needs more specialized care, we’ll collaborate on next steps together.

So bring your stuffies, your jammies, your favorite blanket — and your whole self.
Come heal with me. Come cuddle with me.
We’ve got connecting to do.
