About Me: Hey there! I’m Whitney — your Ohio-based Cuddle Party Facilitator, boudoir photographer, and Reiki practitioner with a big heart and a serious love for cozy connection. Cuddle Parties are like grown-up playgrounds for communication, consent, and platonic touch — a guided, structured space where you get to explore what *feels* good (emotionally and physically) while practicing boundaries, saying yes, saying no, and everything in between. It’s weird. It’s wonderful. It’s surprisingly healing. When I’m not facilitating cuddle parties, I’m supporting people in reclaiming their sensual power through intimate boudoir photography and calming reiki sessions. My world revolves around creating brave spaces where people feel safe to be fully themselves — soft, strong, messy, magical, and everything in between. Come curious. Leave connected.

Favorite Cuddle Party Rule: You can change your mind at ANY time!

What I got out of Cuddle Party personally: Honestly? I learned how to slow down and listen to myself. I practiced saying “no” without apology and “yes” without fear. I felt held — literally and emotionally — in a way I didn’t know I needed. Cuddle Parties helped me rewire old patterns, deepen my self-trust, and remember that I’m allowed to want, to rest, and to receive. And now? I get to create that space for you!

Who I am as a Cuddle Party Facilitator / What you'll find at my Cuddle Parties: As a Cuddle Party facilitator, I’m not here to fix you or force anything. I’m here to guide you — with clarity, playfulness, and deep respect — through an experience that invites your full self to the table (or the cuddle puddle). I hold a safe, welcoming space where people can be silly, soft, awkward, shy, confident — however they show up, it’s all valid and celebrated. With a background in boudoir photography, I’ve spent years supporting people to reconnect with their bodies and their power. With Reiki, I’ve supported deep energetic healing and nervous system regulation. In cuddle space, I get to blend it all together: presence, permission, and genuine connection — without pressure or expectation. My facilitation style is gentle but grounded, consent-forward, trauma-informed, and full of humor and heart. I honor emotions, awkward moments, breakthroughs, and boundaries as sacred. Whether you’re a total cuddle skeptic or a seasoned snuggler, I’ve got you. Let’s co-create something tender, weird, and wildly human together.
