“My Snuggle with Melanie. On time, welcoming and gracious. Kindly validated ID and discussed the session and environment to make it feel very safe and comforting. Room was very comfortable and adjustable lighting was great for the space.
Melanie was sweet, kind knowledgeable and so welcoming. Suggestions on different cuddle positions and checking in on comfort and more. Felt extremely safe and all my nervousness was gone. Deeply healing to have nurturing cuddles with such a kind and knowledgeable soul. “

“I enjoyed Melanie’s empathy, intuition and compassion for my initial apprehension and I immediately was comforted and felt safe. Melanie went above and beyond to make me feel special! I am so grateful for my initial appointment being such a safe experience.”
from John, Sacramento, 11/2/2022
“I booked my first snuggle session during a moment that I was extremely stressed in many parts of life, and when it felt like my nerves would not cam down. Melanie listened carefully, was warm, welcoming and helped me feel comfortable in letting go of the nervous energy and recovering a sense of well-being. I took the option to extend the session and left feeling more myself than I have in years! The warmth flowed strongly for several days and helped me navigate difficult moments from a place of being calm and whole. I highly recommend Snuggle Salon nurture therapy and Melanie as a practitioner.”

“I enjoyed the way Melanie listened, asked great questions, shared her own thoughts and listened some more! Her warmth and kindness was so welcoming and made me at ease. She is a great snuggler and a deep soul. Melanie was so warm, open and friendly. She showed real care and nurturance. and YES, she’s very snuggly, kind and FUN! I also liked the space. It, too, was warm and welcoming and conducive to cuddling! Even received excellent directions to the location and felt well cared about…Thanks!”

“I enjoyed our snuggle as well. I didn’t know what to expect going into it, but your relaxing vibe and sense of humor quickly put me at ease. It honestly felt more like reuniting with a longtime friend than a first meeting. (I’m glad I was able to book an extra half hour at the end of it.) My one regret is that I forgot to ask to hear some of your opera singing. 🙂 See you next time!”
from H., San Jose, 11/23/2021
“I booked a session for my birthday evening because I had no other plans, but can’t be happier about my decision. Melanie was great, I felt our hugs calming down our hearts after a long day, the tight snuggles and the different cuddle positions felt like comforting massages. I felt worth being born on my birthday in Melanie’s arms. :)”
from H., San Jose, 11/20/2021
“I had a great snuggle session with Melanie. It was the first time I ever cuddled with anyone, and it felt so relaxing and peaceful. I still feel hugged even after the session, and the warmth of the tight hugs Melanie gives makes one forget anything they might be going through. Highly recommend 10/10.”
from Bharat, Fremont, 11/6/2021

From Yvonne: Bharat also called me to tell me how much he enjoyed the session with Melanie. He said it was really, really good and he wants more snuggle experiences.

“Melanie, I want you for myself and your snuggles are better than therapy. How’s that for a testimonial? You’re beautiful and I’ll see you in a couple months.”
from R.D., Campbell, 5/11/2019
“There’s so much that this kind of connection offers. I know I feel strengthened and validated after my session. I also feel the benefits are best understood on a subconscious level. My first session was with Melanie and she was a delight. Not only was she nurturing and non-judgemental, but she was very easy to converse with. The best things though were her hugs – I couldn’t get enough of that and I’m sure I’ll schedule with her again.”

“I have only one word for Melanie at Snuggle Salon: Awesome! No wait, I will cheat a bit.. add super fun and friendly to that! My time with her just flew, which I think speaks volumes! Enough said…”
From N.T., San Jose, 10/16/2018
“My day for a snuggle session was finally here and when Melanie greeted me with a hug, I got the warm fuzzies all over and knew this would be an awesome experience because she is so deliciously hug-able. She is a warm healer, very snuggle-able and displays the sweetest and most accommodating personality. I felt totally comfortable in her presence, like I have known her for years. In her sessions, she offers a musical serenade on her keyboard and it was like having my own private concert. I loved it and her voice is amazing. I totally enjoyed her singing, it really felt special.
One thing I had asked her to help me with when first contacting her was with some stretching and yoga exercises. Her background in ring gymnastics led her to remind me to flex my hip more with some pressure she applied. It definitely helped my tight muscles. She even gave me a massage with tennis balls and a hand roller. I was ready to melt in her arms at that point. That was surely a cool warm up.
In order to present as safe container and overall feeling, we went over the rules because it was my intention to fully respect this woman and her boundaries. And for the next few hours we snuggled and cuddled close like being tied in a knot, it was such a warm, intimate and calming feeling; one that I have been missing in my single life.
When it was time to go – and I didn’t want it to – it was just clearly evident to me that Melanie simply enjoys being available for this basic type of human touch connection for those who are missing it in their life. Thank you sooo much Melanie and I cannot wait to snuggle with you again.”
From R.K., Mountain View, 8/31/2018

From C.M., San Jose, 8/31/2018
“Melanie is super awesome and incredibly sweet. I wasn’t afraid to spoon with her even though she showed up in full clown make-up.OK maybe shouldn’t write that … how about this?Melanie was super cool and very relaxing to be with. She carries herself well and I found her incredibly articulate regarding a range of differing subject matters.”
