Ella - Professional Cuddler in NY, NY

I'm a native Brazilian visual artist, former art educator, and Certified Professional Cuddlist based in New York City. Before becoming a professional cuddlist in 2017, I spent 13 years teaching visual arts. My lifelong interest in psychology, holistic wellness, and human connection naturally led me to this work. Over the past eight years, I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of clients from diverse backgrounds, creating a safe, compassionate space where people can relax, feel supported, and experience the healing power of platonic touch. Clients often describe me as warm, intuitive, empathetic, and deeply present. I believe that safe, consensual touch can reduce loneliness, ease stress, and help us reconnect with ourselves and others. My practice welcomes people of all genders, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds, and every session is guided by open communication, consent, and respect. I see clients at my beautiful apartment in Upper Manhattan. I also offer outcall sessions of three hours or longer, depending on location. All new clients begin with a complimentary 15-minute video consultation to discuss their goals, answer questions, and ensure a comfortable fit before scheduling an in-person session. FAQ What happens during a session? We'll begin by discussing boundaries, preferences, and intentions. Sessions take place on a large sofa or queen-size bed in a calm, comfortable setting with optional music and aromatherapy. What should I wear?
