About Me: I’ve been leading Cuddle Parties since 2007 in both California and Arizona. After many years as the Controller/CFO of various financial institutions, with ample opportunities to hone my facilitation skills, I left Corporate America in March 2001 to pursue a career as a yoga teacher. Well, one thing led to another and I ended up becoming an intimacy and consciousness coach for several years. From there I went back to being a Financial Manager of a non-profit, then a realtor! I've recently relocated to Ashland Oregon and am currently a student at the Ashland Institute of Massage.

Favorite Cuddle Party Rule: 2. You don’t have to cuddle anyone at a Cuddle Party, ever. I love the concept that your presence is participation. I think it’s so important for people to develop a sense of self-sovereignty especially around intimate interactions of any kind.

What I got out of Cuddle Party personally: ‘The ability to fearlessly ask for what I want and to say no without feeling like a heartless monster!

Who I am as a Cuddle Party Facilitator / What you'll find at my Cuddle Parties: ‘My Cuddle Parties have primarily been held at my home. As a Cuddle Party facilitator you’ll find me to be laid back and enthusiastic about empowering people to be fearless and aware in their communication with others. I think open, authentic communication regarding our intimate desires is the best foreplay!
