Shandai - Professional Cuddler

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and let you in into my world a little…. I was first certified as a Professional Cuddler at Cuddlist.com in 2016. I had been seeking out services for myself after seeing an ad on social media, but I stayed for the training. It felt so right to be able to offer what I needed in that moment to others in their time of need. As a self-identified ‘people pleaser’ I was so excited to see that it wasn’t JUST “Cuddle School.” Much of the training focused on learning to embrace healthy consent practices, setting up boundaries, and staying safe. Once I was certified, I cuddled until I was well into pregnancy, which was a unique experience for both myself and my clients. I then took a break while I got the little human I made up and running with life. More recently I have recertified with Cuddlist’s latest version of the training and I love it! I am also certified in Mental Health First Aid and currently taking a certification course to lead/teach meditation. I hope to add modalities as they inspire me, so there will be something for everyone! So happy to be back, and so excited to help you on your journey! Thank you for being here you wonderful human you! If you are reading this, I'm willing to bet you could use a hug! I think we all could right now. Our lives are so full of challenging and wonderful work that we forget we are also creatures in need of nurturing. It's time to decompress and just exist in a wholesome and loving space without worldly distractions. Does that space even exist? Could you find an hour at home where you weren't distracted by any of the many things on your to-do list? Could you stick to it? Hey there! I'm Shandai, but you can call me Daisy (cuz I know you are already wondering how to say my name. Hugs sound good to me too in this uncertain time! I'm here to help you take that hour (or more!) and co-create a safe, warm, and hopefully stress-reduced space for you. Our space can include as many or as few wholesome and nurturing hugs, cuddles, and pets as you need. I believe human contact is healing both emotionally and physically and that is why I offer it. No two cuddle sessions are alike, as yours would be devoted to your current needs which might be ever-changing. Also, touch is NOT a requirement, it's just something I am excited to offer you. It’s all about me holding space for you however you need it to be held virtually or in person. BONUS: My presence facilitates your needs while remaining true to my own. This means I can be fully available within our space based on the boundaries we BOTH have. You will never have to worry about me because I'll always communicate my comfort level with you. This frees you up to explore your own needs and set your own boundaries without stressing about whether I'm ok. Who doesn't need a little more practice holding boundaries, right? Also, add to that help getting your needs identified and met all at the same time. We can work on that together! So, YES! That space can exist, my friend, and I'm so here for it! Are you?
