History

Zoey Testimonials

From Matthew David Hurtado, Burlingame, 5/22/2016
“So, recently I was visiting San Francisco and had the opportunity to get a session with Zoey, at Snuggle Salon. Yvonne was very insightful and helpful to arrange everything in a professional manner. I recently had some health challenges and without too many people to confide in, my anxiety level was stirring a bit. Having successfully received a great benefit in the past (cuddling) – I trusted my intuition. I set up a session and let me tell you; beyond incredible! Why did I wait so long?!
It’s amazing how something so simple can be so profound. Someone to hold your hand and listen to you, ACTUALLY being present and holding a space for healing. Wow, imagine that?! No electronic devices to distract us, just old-fashioned conversation and a shoulder to rest your head on. I suppose I should be clear; Zoey is a treasure and her heart is for serving humanity. She’s a 1-in-a-million type of person, with a “grandma’s soul” – exactly what I needed.

My late grandma raised me and my prayers for healing were answered. I trusted my intuition and set up a session, my experience was a lifetime memory I’ll never forget. Best investment ever. The effects of the calm, safety and feeling of connection lasted for days after my session. Not to mention, I can always retrieve the memory at any time – like recalling when your mom or dad comforted you in your time of distress.

Thank you, Yvonne, for providing a professional, safe, and courteous service.. and, thank you, Zoey, for being an essential component in my healing process. Everything was top-notch and I can’t say enough about the value you provided me.
With love and gratitude,
Matthew David Hurtado”

Layla's Testimonials

From R.M., Santa Clara, 5/6/2018
“Layla made me feel at ease quickly. She was present throughout our session, we talked and snuggled, and had some fun with both sharing perspectives and finding joy in human closeness. I am so grateful for the peaceful, close, genuine time we had together. I booked another session and found the second session even better.”

From S., San Jose, 4/11/2018
“Layla is an amazing, warm and friendly person. The best cuddle session I ever had. Layla makes you feel so comfortable and relaxing, after the session I felt like I rested for a week. I would love to see her again and cannot wait for my next session.”

From F., San Jose, 4/1/2018
“Layla is a very accommodating and intuitive cuddler. My time spent with her was very relaxing and I appreciate how she stayed attentive throughout the whole session. I look forward to meeting again.”

Olivia's Testimonials

From J.B., Palo Alto, 3/12/2018
“Olivia is a very enthusiastic hugger, gives good backrubs, and is fun to talk to. I very much enjoyed cuddling with her.”

From B.M., San Jose, 2/9/2018
“Thank you so much for cuddling with me. It is really amazing that you do this, and for complete strangers. For me it was an enjoyable and intimate experience. I left feeling the euphoria. For me, conversation as well as warm arms are important, and Olivia was great for both. She’s a little quiet, but it was our first meeting, so its understandable. Thanks again.”

Jaia's Testimonials

From E.B., San Francisco, 1/26/2018
“Snuggling with Jaia is an ultimate negative energy drainer. She is even sweeter than her pics with a beautiful smile! She listens to you, talks very gently and truly enjoys your company which I appreciated a lot! Looking forward to reconnecting with her!”

From L.T., San Francisco, 1/20/2018
“Jaia,
I thoroughly appreciated our time together-it was everything I needed and more. I felt as one with you and the world and that we connected on a spiritual level. I was able to allow my stress, life challenges and negative thoughts drift away so that more of the beauty within me could emerge. It is my impulse to send out positive energy-it was refreshing to be the receiver.

I may have come to you starving and in desperate need for unconditional positive regard and nurturing. We, in the counseling field, need to practice the self care we recommend to our clients. Though I feel I do well in this area, the world often gets cold and overwhelming. Touch, outside of a personal relationship, has become misunderstood, stigmatized and abused in many arenas. We humans need to feel safe and valued in order to thrive. I felt that with you and cannot thank you enough for helping me truly relax.

Thank you for receiving me and my positive energy. I will see you again. Until then, be ever wonderful. LT”

Andrea's Testimonials

From J.B., Oakland, 3/4/2018
“I’m super happy that I took the chance to make an appointment with Andrea! I went in with no expectations and had just a lovely time 🙂 Andrea was responsive during the scheduling process, and warm and professional during the session. It didn’t take long for me to become comfortable with her despite our first meeting. Whether or not I got what I was hoping to get, I left feeling much better than when I arrived, and that’s what matters most to me.”

From F.H., San Francisco, 1/4/2018
“After realizing I was telling myself that I don’t matter and isolating myself from a seemingly harsh world, I needed something more than
information to heal. Opening up in a safe environment while simultaneously being held or holding her allowed me to lower my always-on survival shields enough so I could begin emotionally absorbing all that information and change my choices and perspective. IRL ( in real life ) human contact is amazing. I’ll be checking if I can have more sessions so I don’t stay in a pattern of thinking I’m own my own, especially when there’s a big, not-so-bad world out there. Even if that world is flat. 🙂 “

Elise's Testimonials

From Ben, San Jose, 11/15/2017
“Elise is a kind and cuddly person who truly enjoys physical touch and closeness. She’s also a great conversationalist and offers a gentle introduction to snuggling that put me at ease immediately. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together.”

From Anonymous, San Jose, 4/13/2018
“Sarah was terrific. From the time I first met her at the door, she had a great way of making me feel comfortable and at ease. She is warm and friendly and is very accommodating. She asked questions about not only what I was comfortable with, but also how I wanted the session to proceed. During the session she had a great sense of when to engage in conversation and when to just focus on my well-being in silence. I found her to be a great conversationalist and I thoroughly enjoyed her vibrant and upbeat disposition. She is very positive and is very focused on making sure a session goes just right. I highly recommend and will be seeing her again.”

From T.S., Santa Clara, 3/7/2018
“Sarah was great. Very communicative, kind and giving. I enjoyed our time together.”

From S.R., Campbell, 1/29/2018
“Sarah is simply great. This was my first session with Sarah, and I am already looking forward to snuggle with her again!”

From Cameron, Menlo Park, 1/19/2018
“It was my first time with a snuggling provider so I wasn’t exactly sure what I was getting into and to be truthful was a bit nervous. Sarah opened the door and immediately put me at ease. She has such a warm, level personality that makes you comfortable talking or not talking. I let her take the lead on the snuggling as it was my first time. She made me feel so blissful and relaxed. It’s hard to describe….I guess I just felt safe and that nothing else besides this moment mattered. I’m already planning my next visit. If anything, the session exceeded my expectations.”

From Bill, Los Altos, 9/25/2017
“Sarah is great! This was my first session ever, and it was much better than I expected. Of course, I thought it may be a little awkward. Sarah did a great job of easing my nervousness, and we quickly relaxed!”

From G., San Jose, 9/19/2017
“I snuggled with Sarah for the first time and really enjoyed my experience from beginning to end. She is a natural Snuggler! It was immediately apparent that Sarah is a very empathetic and caring person with an easy ability to connect quickly with her clients…and I’m sure that’s why it took me all of 5 seconds to get comfortable with her in my arms. She’s also stunningly gorgeous, which just made the whole experience even more enjoyable! I am already looking forward to our next session with Sarah and highly recommend her.”

From John, Palo Alto, 9/19/2017
“Sarah and I developed a great connection. Cuddling with her is physically and mentally enjoyable. She’s also fun to talk to.”

From Ankit, Burlingame, 9/10/2017
“Sarah was wonderful. Within minutes I felt very comfortable with her. She was easy to talk with and just snuggle quietly.”

Michelle's Testimonials

From K, San Jose, 1/9/2018
“Michelle is a kind, nurturing person and is an awesome snuggle partner. During our snuggle session, she provided an open ear for me to self-disclose while also sharing a wealth of her own life/wellness experience. I felt great after our time together and look forward to seeing her again!”

From Mark, Modesto, 9/11/2017
“WHERE DO I BEGIN? …. Michelle was wonderful!! Loving and a good listener. She fulfilled a long awaited opportunity in My life to feel the human touch and embrace in a safe environment . I was able to share difficult parts of my life, stories that I could not tell my children my friends or anyone else for that matter. To be able to share some of the ugly portions of my life imposed by other people. But I balanced out the session with a ton of positive things in my life that impacted me as a man and a father. With a positive role model for my three daughters as a single Father. ALL are successful married women and have blessed me with 10 grandchildren! And three amazing ….. son-In-laws. I will be forever grateful that you started this business Yvonne!! LOOKING FORWARD TO MY NEXT SESSION !! MAY THE LORD RICHLY BLESS YOU FOR YOUR VISION & YOU SENSITIVITY TO THOSE WHO ARE TRULY HURTING. ANYONE CAN GIVE A MASSAGE BUT YOUR GIFT TOUCHES THE HEART! I AM VERY PLEASED WITH MICHELLE & THE AMAZING SERVICE YOU PROVIDE. WHO NEEDS A PSYCHIATRIST?!!!? THANK YOU”

Amber's Testimonials

From D.N., Walnut Creek, 1/31/2018
“I really enjoyed my session with Amber. She is a delight and radiates joy. We shared some GREAT laughs together. And, of course, she is an awesome snuggler. Thank you, Amber!”

From K., Richmond, 1/15/2018
“It was great snuggling / hanging out with you. It was the boost I was looking for; your laughter is warm and infectious, got me laughing and comfortable; your attitude is awesome!! And, your playlist is on-point! Thank you so much for being the positive experience in my life! I will remember our session fondly and take with me the light, warmth and passion for laughter!! Thank you Amber!! Regards, K.”

From A., San Francisco, 9/14/2017
“Amber is a compassionate woman with an open heart, beautiful soul, and full of creative life-energy. She embraced me with kindness and made me feel calm and energized.”

From Manuel, Gilroy, 8/10/2017
“Had my first, and definitely not last, session with Amber the other day. Amber is kind, open, beautiful, and very bright. Couldn’t have asked for a better session.”

Kayla's Testimonials

From Anonymous, San Jose, 7/14/2017
“Enjoyed cuddling session. Kayla was friendly and open to different cuddle poses.”

Alexandra's Testimonials

From Bertie, Peninsula, 6/27/2017
“I loved Alexandra’s company. She is beautiful, bright, sweet and a talented musician. She is very open and easy to have conversation with even though this was my first session with her. I enjoyed her company so much that I’ve already booked several future sessions with her. “

Ted's Testimonials

From Anonymous, Peninsula, 6/14/2017
“As I talked to you during our session, I was very apprehensive about the whole thing. I wasn’t sure what to expect or how awkward I would feel during our session. Also, I have never been intimate with anyone outside of a relationship. But I must say you made it all easy. You have a very peaceful and calm face, and a beautiful smile that made me feel at ease right away. Your tight cuddles and hugs made me feel even better right away. I loved every second of it, that I had to extend our session immediately cos I did not want it to end. The conversations we had were so diverse and open. I loved we could do that and not be judged on what we think or how we feel. All in all, it was an amazing experience and I cannot wait for our next time.”

Holli's Testimonials

From Mark, East Bay, 5/5/2017
“I had the most amazing time snuggling with Holli! From the moment I arrived she was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable. I felt so at ease with her and she is so easy to talk to! It was my first session with Holli, and the first of many more!!!”

Miya's Testimonials

From L.T., San Francisco, 4/11/2018
“I recently visited Miya in need of a good snuggling. I found her welcoming, with wonderful red hair and a body built for hugging. We were both able to enjoy our experience for what seemed much longer than the agreed upon time. The atmosphere was comfortable, quiet (with the exception of occasional traffic/street noise) and relaxed. I left that evening feeling fully unwound and happy.”

From M.R., East Bay, 5/5/2017
“I was a little nervous and I didn’t know what to expect. Miya put my concerns at ease! She is wonderful!”

Sheer's Testimonials

From T.B., South Bay, 5/2/2017
“Sheer is a wonderful snuggle buddy! She’s very attentive and comforting when you need it, and she gives great massages!”

Nathaniel's Testimonials

From Bob, San Jose, 9/12/2017
“I had my second session with Nathan and feel wonderful. It was a four hour session which went quickly. Nathan is a calming, caring and nurturing guy who makes one feel instantly relaxed. I suggest people set up longer sessions when you can. Your organization is fortunate to have him. Thank you!”

From Patrick, San Francisco, 9/12/2017
“Nathaniel has a gentle presence and natural ability that made me feel relaxed, safe and cared for. It was such a deep comfort on a spiritual level for me. I slept like a log that night after our session. I look forward meeting him again!”

From Bob, San Jose, 8/22/2017
“Nathan was wonderful. I was unsure what to expect from the session, but Nathan quickly put me at ease. His calming persona, and natural snuggling abilities made it a wonderful experience. He checked periodically to see if I was comfortable. He’s a natural! I definitely will be setting up another session in the future.”

From Phil, Rohnert Park, 4/21/2017
“An older man, I was nervous scheduling a session. Nate almost immediately made me comfortable. The session itself was amazing. I felt blessed. Nate is a beautiful young man inside and out. Nate is amazing! Keep him close. I can’t imagine there are many like him.”
— Response from Yvonne: “Thank you, Phil. I agree. Nate is amazing. I will do everything I can to keep him with us!”

From Phil, Rohnert Park, 5/5/2017
“Another really nice session. Nate is just the best.”

Janeen's Testimonials

From DJ, East Bay, 2/6/2017
“I had a wonderful session with Janeen. She is very caring and a great listener, and has the true Aloha spirit, so warm and welcoming. Not to mention, she is an awesome snuggler! Thanks Janeen!”

Joe's Testimonials

From B.B., South Bay, 5/28/2017
“Joe was kind and caring. He immediately made me feel comfortable with a hug. He went above and beyond with playing with my hair, holding my hand and giving me a back massage to start. Above and beyond because it was more than I asked for and I was so grateful for the extra care.”

From Lucia, Monterrey, 11/16/2016
“Joe is wonderful! I highly recommend him. He was very respectful and attentive to what I wanted. I felt very nurtured in his arms. He definitely exceeded my expectations. I left feeling blissful!”

Beth Testimonials

From K, San Jose, 1/9/2018
“Beth is a sweet, warm-hearted person. She’s an amazing snuggler and always has cool things to talk about during our sessions. She is also great at creating an safe environment where we both feel comfortable asking for what kinds of platonic touch we would like to give/receive. I always leave feeling much more relaxed, while also eager for future sessions!”

From Ron G., Pleasanton, 10/6/2017
“I suffer from intimacy related, low self-esteem. Its been crippling for me and prevented me from dating and moving on with my life. In other areas, I’m fully confident, but dating has been a no-go. Now that I’m single, I need to get past this. I went pro-active and made a snuggle appointment with Beth to work on this issue. I canceled the first appointment, not having the courage to show up. The second appointment was difficult, and we mostly just talked, due to my nervousness. Finally, the third appointment was a break-through! I’m a snuggler now!

Beth is wonderful and so very understanding. She is helping me overcome my fear of non-sexual intimacy, and boosting my confidence to return, once again, to the normal dating process. Thank you sooo much, Beth!”

From John, Palo Alto, 8/18/2017
“Beth is lovely, and spending two hours cuddling with her and talking with her was thoroughly enjoyable.”

From Marc in Redwood City, CA, 6/28/2017
“I really enjoyed my Snuggle session with Beth. It was both nurturing, fun and a learning experience. It provided a much needed opportunity for me to grow up. You see, all too often as males we come to equate touch with sexual arousal and this was a wonderful opportunity to be with someone affectionately in a non-sexual, heart based way. Beth provides a safe place for boys to become men in that respect. Beth is intelligent and interesting to talk to, grounded, a good listener and conversationalist. She’s adorable. My two hour session went by almost too fast and I got exactly what I was looking for from the experience. Highly recommend.”

From Anonymous, South Bay, 5/27/2017
“Sessions with Beth are something I always look forward to. Beth is just an adorable and charming lady. I enjoy her company; just being close to her physically and emotionally is something that enhances my emotional well being.”

From Bertie, San Ramon, 5/12/2017
“I enjoyed just about everything about my session with Beth, except that it had to end at all! Beth is vivacious, smart, kind, very beautiful and selflessly giving. I enjoy her company.”

From Bertie in San Ramon, CA, 3/29/2017
“First of all, I enjoyed Beth’s personality more than anything else. This being my first session with Beth, all we did was to hold hands and talked for 90 minutes. I had to stop at 90 minutes only because Beth had other commitment following our session. In the future it’s going to be two hours every time. [The question about whether I was unsatisfied — does not apply.] She is very loving and lovable….”

From G., San Jose, 11/16/2016
“I’m so happy I became a client of Snuggle Salon. Beth is the 4th Snuggle Partner with whom I’ve had a session. And she was so wonderful! She started off with a really nice shoulder massage, and then we lay down on the big comfy mattress and, after a couple snuggle positions, we ended up in what she calls the “koala” position. She essentially wrapped her arms around me like a koala wraps its arms around a tree…me being the tree! And we just cuddled and talked for a long time. It was so enjoyable. She has such an interesting back story about her life before she moved here. I’m really looking forward to seeing her again.”

From F., San Jose, 12/28/2016
“I enjoyed to a great extent my snuggling experience with Beth. She is someone that, when you’re with her time flies by unnoticed, as she charmed me with the intellectual conversation I had with her, as well as her attention to details and professionalism. It was an experience I’m looking forward to have over and over again.”

Andy's Testimonials

From Vanessa N., Santa Cruz, 5/11/2016
“I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed and got out of my session with Andy on Sunday. Of course, I was nervous, even though I had been to one Cuddle Party in the past, and have attended several personal growth workshops over the years. Once I got past the initial nerves, I found Andy’s calm and confident manner soothing.
Here are the parts I found most valuable:
• being able to take things at my own pace,
• feeling completely comfortable,
• having the freedom of movement, privacy and the familiarity of being in my own home,
• hearing how Andy got drawn to this work and his dedication to it,
• having him say that he could help my sore back,
• knowing that he loves cats,
• being able to spoon together, and even being able to lay on top of him.
On this last point, the fact that I started with a bit of a sore back let us explore the possibility of his working out some of the kinks in a very nonthreatening and gentle mini massage of that area. We commented on how he might be able to incorporate that into future sessions, and I encouraged him, especially because that is acceptable avenue to physical touch for many people, including myself to get them over any initial nervousness. We even incorporated some aspects of Reiki and polarity work. Andy has a natural gift for this sort of energy work, and what more beautiful way than to do it in such close contact with another human being? It felt like all kinds of endorphins were released, more than in any traditional massage, although of course, the individual needs to be welcoming the integration of both aspects.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I feel certain I will schedule another session in the future and to have profound thanks to you and Andy for providing this healing work for our community and the planet.”

Matthew's Testimonials

From Brenda-Anne, East Bay, 7/23/2016
“I have been snuggling with Matthew regularly for about four months. Psychotherapy can only do so much if what one really needs is just to be held and have their hair petted. Coming out of a painful divorce, I deeply appreciate being able to have healing, platonic contact without the hassle (or expectations) of dating. (And to be honest, most of my friends are too skinny to cuddle.) He has been conscientiously professional and a perfect gentleman at each session. Matthew is one of the kindest and most genuine people I’ve ever met, and he has been essential in my healing journey. Some women get massages or pedicures, I like to treat myself to a snuggle. I can’t recommend Matthew enough!”

From Heatherly, San Jose, 8/26/2016
“I highly recommend a snuggle session with Matthew. He is very respectful and has has nice quality of touch and holding. When he snuggles me I can feel his heart and his empathy. He has a lot of kindness and sweetness to offer. I feel like I’ve had a massage after snuggling with him. I’m a BBW woman and I feel beautiful and have a greater appreciation for my body after snuggling with him. He helps all the stress melt away. I’ve also enjoyed snuggling with him and watching a movie. So much fun. Thank you Matthew.”

Haven's Testimonials

From C.K., Petaluma, 4/20/2018

“Haven was very easy to talk to. She made me feel at ease and paid attention to my requests. I look forward to a future session.”

From DJ, East Bay, 9/20/2016

“Haven is such a sweet, affectionate person. She wears her heart on her sleeve and you will immediately notice how caring she is. Our cuddle time just flew by. Do yourself a favor and schedule a session with her!”

Emmi's Testimonials

From Anonymous, Redding, CA, 4/23/2017
“Thank you for the Snuggle Session, I truly enjoyed it. You were excellent at making the experience feel comforable and safe. I had a hard time with the idea of paying for cuddles, and while I may not explore this therapy often, I can see the beneficial qualities of it. Thank you again for the service you provide.”

From Matthew T., Sunnyvale, CA, 6/4/2016
“I was totally surprised how good this felt and can’t wait to do it again! After a hard day solving problems and lots of tension, I love to cuddle and relieve some of the tension by being held and cuddled. I also loved our conversation, [Emmi] knew how to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. Thanks so much! I can’t believe that not everybody is doing this all the time, it is such a great service.”

From N., Redding, CA, 6/10/2016
“Hi Emmi. I enjoyed meeting you too, had a great time, and will be setting up another appointment soon 🙂 My review: Everything was great and what I would hope and expect from a professional snuggler. The cats were a great touch, Firefly is so affectionate. I felt comfortable and safe the whole time and the experience felt genuinely warm and affectionate. I felt peaceful and rejuvenated. Just what I’ve needed for some time. Thank you.”

Yvonne's Testimonials

From G., San Jose, 11/4/2016
“I had my second session with Yvonne, and it was even better than our first session. She is simply so snuggable! As before, she greeted me with a big hug and very genuine and sweet smile. I like how I just melt into her arms when I see her and immediately feel a sense of calmness, connection, comfort. We tried several different snuggle positions again, most of which involved us holding each other very closely, wrapping our arms and legs around each other. And then she helped me discover my favorite position, and it was pure bliss for a long time. Yvonne is so genuinely loving and compassionate about what she does for her clients. I can’t wait for my next session with my snuggle expert!”

From M. Leonard, San Jose, 5/15/2016
“Yvonne is a wonderful snuggler! She immediately put me at ease during our first session and effortlessly balanced professionalism with warmth and compassion. She encouraged me to ask for the type of snuggling I needed, but also had many creative and delightful suggestions that enhanced the experience. Despite never having met before, we were able share ideas, laughter, and even vulnerability — all through the medium of affectionate touch. I am so glad I decided to schedule an appointment with Yvonne, and left feeling happy, refreshed, and looking forward to our next session!”

From E. Harbinite, San Jose, 2/18/2016
“Yvonne was extremely gracious and welcomed me with a nice hug. Her smile and warmth towards me was incredible. We talked a little and hugged and snuggled throughout the 90 minute session. She made feel quite relaxed and at ease. She confidently explained the policies at the beginning of the session, and asked me if had any boundaries. I felt comfortable enough with her to open all the session renderings. Such a warm and caring experience. I look forward to my next session with her which would only be constrained by the amount of dollars per month allocated for self-care :-). Kudos to you Yvonne for having the insight and thoughtfulness to pursue your dream.”

Jamie's Testimonials

From O.A., Campbell, 1/13/2018
“I had a nice time . I felt eased in to it . Snuggling with you felt natural and relaxing. Thank you Jamie.”

From Mark, Cupertino, 12/3/2017
“Jaime is an AMAZING Snuggler. You can tell that she has a passion for cuddling and it shows in her cuddles! She’s very warm and a great conversationalist! My only regret is not snuggling with her sooner. Definitely going to book a second session! -Mark”

From Manny, San Jose, 10/29/2017
“[My] snuggle session with Jamie was magical. While snuggling sounds like such a simple task that anyone can carry out, not everyone gives it the importance in their life. My session with Jamie was extremely relaxing as if it was stress therapy. I felt stress and worries leaving my body! It’s not something which can truly be expressed in words as it can with living the experience. God Bless you Yvonne for coming up with such an idea and finding yourself amazing “snug-staff” such as Jamie and Beth. I will surely book sessions in the future. -Manny”

From Sophie, San Jose, 4/8/2017
“Jaime sent me a text ahead of my appointment to check in with me, which made me feel good about my upcoming time with her. The space in her home was inviting, with incense and relaxing music. She led me through several different positions, including some gentle massage. We had met at the Cuddle Party on March 25, and I related what that experience was like for me. She gave me much support, and made me feel validated. She revealed to me that she had sensed that I was feeling some emotional pain near the end of the Cuddle Party, which is why she asked if she could hold my hand. After the session, after I arrived home, I was crying, but it was a good cry. I released quite a lot of emotion I had been carrying around with me. I felt cleansed and at peace.”

From G., San Jose, 2/20/2017
“I have scheduled several sessions with Jaime now, and I can’t seem to get enough of her! She is a wonderful snuggler and cuddler, with so many different positions. (I highly recommend a two-hour session.) Jaime is a wonderful person in ways that are difficult to explain. You simply have to experience it for yourself. After all our sessions, I have developed tremendous respect and appreciation for the, literally, therapeutic services she provides. She is so loving and affectionate. She is fun to talk to and has an interesting life to share with you. She is also clearly an experienced listener, and just as important, she’s always “in the moment”, making the connection with her real and intimate. Jaime is beautiful both inside and out. It’s time very well spent, and I plan to be her client forever…”

From M., Los Gatos, 1/24/2017
“I feel a strong connection with Jaime. I greatly appreciate her depth and humanity, as well as, her cuddling skills.”

From Nikki ( female client ), Nashville, 1/13/2017
“Jaime was amazing. I went back and forth on keeping my appointment, but in the end I went thru with it, and am so glad I did. She was gentle and such a respecter of boundaries. I grew up without anyone ever emotionally or physically being there for me. Ever since I can remember – I have always just wanted to be wrapped in a hug and know its all going to be ok. Today, I felt the safest I ever have and like I could just breathe and be. She was awesome and def will booking again in the future next time I’m in cali! -Nikki”

From Harry, San Jose, 10/7/2016
“I scheduled a 2-hour session today with Jaime, and she was wonderful!! She is definitely very snuggable! She is very nurturing and simply a delight to talk to. I always felt comfortable and especially enjoyed beIng able to just snuggle into her arms without a moment of hesitation. She was very attentive when working with me to get in just the right position. It can take a while for me to get comfortable some times when lying down. The moment I would start to adjust, say, the position of my head or arm so I can be in the absolute most comfortable position while I enjoy the snuggle, she was “right there” with me, clearly very focused on me and my comfort, joy and nothing else. And – She clearly enjoys what she does, which just adds to the real connection you make with her when snuggling. I was lucky to be able to add a third hour to our session at the last minute. I really didn’t want it to end….”

From M, South Bay, 10/7/2016
“I really enjoyed my snuggle with Jaime. She was warm, open, friendly and an excellent snuggler. I’d do it again anytime!
Cheers, M”

From DJ, East Bay, 9/7/2016
“Jaime is a “made in the shade” cuddler! So laid back and easy-going, you will feel safe with her right away. My session with her was very soothing and healing. I highly recommend her!”

From Bruce, South Bay, 8/31/2016
“I had a great first time experience with Jaime. She made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. Jaime has a wonderful touch. I’m looking forward to our next session.”

From Michaela, South Bay, 8/30/2016
“Snuggling with Jaime was awesome! I was nervous at first but her gentleness and calm personality were reassuring. After, I felt more serene and peaceful than ever before. She was perfect for a first-timer like me and I’ll definitely be going back!”

From M., Los Gatos, 8/2/2016
“I had a wonderful cuddling experience with Jaime. From the outset, she made me feel comfortable. After reviewing the protocol, she recommended an opening cuddle position. From time to time, she would discreetly suggest alternative positions. Since it was my first experience with the Snuggle Salon (or anything like it), I found Jaime’s gentle guidance very helpful. I appreciated not only her emphasis on open communication, but also her keen intuitive powers. I found it easy to connect with her in a profound way. There was something magical about the process. After the session, a feeling of calm remained with me. In addition to being a very skilled cuddler, Jaime is a very empathic, knowledgeable, insightful, and engaging person.”

From Anonymous, South Bay, 7/11/2016
“Jaime was so kind and affectionate! She made me feel very comfortable and I enjoyed my first snuggle tremendously.”

From Matthew, South Bay, 7/1/2016
“From the very beginning of my first session with Jaime, I knew I was in for an amazing experience. She greeted me with a warm, welcoming hug that immediately put me at ease. After making sure that rules and boundaries were understood, we spent a few minutes just breathing together, which brought a wonderful feeling of openness and connection — making the cuddling that followed all the more delightful. Jaime brings a profound knowledge of great ways to cuddle and a sensitive and intuitive touch into her Snuggle sessions. This powerful combination made the experience fun, educational, and deeply fulfilling in ways I could not have anticipated. Oh, and our second session was even better… :-)”

Matthew even made this little image to express his feelings about cuddling with Jaime. He was kinda happy, I think.

From Anonymous, East Bay, 6/27/2016
“I had a wonderful first experience with Jaime! She was outstanding. She was attentive, gentle, very compassionate. On a scale of 1 – 10, it was a 10. I am thinking about [booking another session].”

From Colin Eldred-Cohen, San Jose, 6/14/2016
“I enjoyed the intimacy, the comfort, and the overall sense of welcoming and safety. The boundaries were clear, but they weren’t enforced with harshness. Kissing (not lips) was platonic and comforting without being sexually charged, allowing for a sense of familiarity and calming. Overall, a fantastic experience. On a scale of 1 – 10, it was a 10. There was nothing I did not enjoy.”

From Matthew, San Jose, 6/1/2016
