I was nervous to try this, but I knew that I needed some sort of therapy. I am pleasantly surprised by how it turned out, and perhaps it was largely due to Autumn providing a comforting space to make me feel at ease. She was accommodating of my schedule, and I would definitely consider future sessions. “

Her body really felt good and warm. Autumn was really nice and accommodating and friendly. She gave me a friendly kiss on my forehead and she allowed me to kiss her on the cheek. I was very nervous before the meeting but very comfortable at the end of the session. The only regret is that I can’t stay for another 10 hours. :-)”

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.

from R.dlP., Hollister, 12/16/2019 “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.”

From K.B., San Jose, 1/26/2019 “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 “I very much enjoyed Melanie’s company, conversation, and kindness.”
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.”

Testimonials from Snuggle Partners
From Amanda, Santa Cruz, 2/17/2024 “Working with Snuggle Salon and Yvonne was very transformative for me, in the best way. Yvonne taught me so much about navigating consent, establishing and holding boundaries, and creating a safe container for vulnerability, authenticity, and platonic love – for both myself and my clients. I can’t put a price on the value I received through my experience as a Snuggle Partner. Truly my life is richer and happier because I made the decision to work with Snuggle Salon. I am so grateful for the skills and outlook that I gained through this experience.”
— Thank you Amanda!! It was pure joy working with you and becoming your friend. You are a positive, courageous, intelligent woman who I feel very blessed to have in my life. — Yvonne
From Melanie, Santa Cruz, 10/17/2019 “I love working for snuggle salon. Most of my clients have been delightful, a few have been challenging, and the latter have been the best learning experiences. I already knew many of my boundaries and how to communicate them lovingly, and this work is helping me discover more subtle boundaries and get even better at communicating them.”
“I think it is important that I share about my time working with Snuggle Salon. If you are looking for an experience that will help you grow as a person really consider investing in yourself with a professional cuddle session. Having been on both sides of the experience – both being snuggled and as a professional snuggler, I have learned a lot about myself and how I choose to connect with other people. You will experience boundary sensitivity and experiment with platonic intimacy. You will experience touch without the pressure of having to “make it happen”. Your snuggle partner cares about you. They want you to have a productive and organic experience.
Snuggle Partners are not ordinary employees. It takes something very special to share your time with someone in this way. Don’t expect everything to be perfect because every time will be new and different. Be prepared to meet parts of yourself you didn’t know existed. Yvonne is the Goddess of the Snuggles. Trust her to guide you gently through a new way of seeing the world.”
— Sage decided to begin working full-time on her blog. I will be forever grateful for her contribution and I will miss her!! — Yvonne
From Layla, Sunnyvale, 7/12/2018 “Working as a Snuggle Partner has been an amazing personal growth experience. Although I’ve so much more to learn and explore regarding the human condition, the framework of Snuggle Salon provided a solid foundation to understanding the essential human need for touch, closeness, connection, acceptance, empathy and compassion. These needs expressed by clients have introduced me to a new awareness: the realization of the insurmountable pain each of us carries. I feel evermore motivated to continue learning, developing and strengthening the skills I’ve acquired as a snuggle partner, and hope to nurture current and future relationships over time. My snuggle partner experience has opened my heart in ways I never thought possible. I have witnessed true emotional and spiritual healing for myself as well as my clients.”
— Layla decided that her primary relationship needed attention and decided to take time to focus on it. I will be forever grateful for her contribution and she will be missed!! — Yvonne

From M.S., San Jose 10/2/2023 “Laura is an extremely wonderful soul. This was my first session with her, and she was very welcoming and friendly which made me feel comfortable right from the start. She is a great listener and very engaged in conversation. After my session, my heart felt relieved from just having a great conversation and the snuggles definitely bring comfort to your soul.

From Mark, Sunnyvale 8/7/2023 “I very much loved our cuddling session, you were so kind and embracing from the very moment we met, the 90 min session from there was very welcoming, very relaxing.

From Matt, San Jose 7/28/2023 “I really enjoyed my snuggle time with Laura. I have been starved of human touch for so long and this really got the oxytocin flowing! She was friendly, warm, and kind and I could feel the good energy emanating from her. We had very friendly conversation which made the time pass a bit faster but was very satisfying. Overall, I highly recommend Laura as a snuggle partner and I plan on making another appointment soon. ☺️”
From David., San Mateo 7/6/2022 “I enjoyed how Laura treated me with respect and caring, and she was patient. Since this was my first Snuggle experience I was a little nervous and apprehensive, but she calmed my anxiety and me it a fun and enriching experience. Laura was very friendly and easy to work with, and helped guide us along in a fun and sensitive way.”
From A.J., Fremont 6/23/2022 “I got a chance to snuggle with Laura on 6/22/2022. I do not have words to justify my experience. She is one of rare gems I met during my 3 years of cuddling. She is a born cuddler. She is very soft spoken, respectful and easy going. She herself enjoys the sessions and keeps you entertained. She is very hard working and very mature for her age. There is not a single minute that I felt bored. She is very caring and friendly. I have no hesitation in recommending her. I am also looking for many more cuddle sessions with her. Also wish her best of luck for her future.”
From D.M., Los Gatos 6/10/2022 “Laura was great! I came away from our snuggle session feeling very peaceful and free from stress. I’m thinking about scheduling another session [soon].”
From GC, 5/28/2022 “My time spent with Laura was more than I could expect. Not only sweet but a true beauty. She wraps you in a comforting embrace and engaging conversation. Willing to listen and eager to be heard I highly recommend Laura for those that want a warm gentle touch, an to experience the company of a feminine, intelligent, and welcoming woman.
My only regret is not booking a longer session. The time flew by which lead to my only disappointment. The conclusion of the session. At a time when we all have been deprived of social interactions, Laura is what we all need to make connections with the real world again.”

From R., Oakland, 5/9/2023 “I really enjoyed snuggling with Paige and feeling the sense of connection and intimacy as we talked about life, philosophy, work, spirituality. She is a beautiful soul. Paige frequently checked in on my comfort level. I’m new to this service and Paige helped recommend different positions that made me feel a sense of relaxation and bliss.”
From Dave, San Jose, 5/8/2023 “I enjoyed the snuggle partner I choose. She was friendly and made me feel at ease. It was my 1st time trying [ nurture therapy ]. I liked the snuggle positions she showed. She spooned me and let me spoon her and she let me lie on my back with a pillow in between us as she massaged my shoulder. Even though it was a paid experience, it felt like we were just friends snuggling, so that was kinda cool — but Paige was main reason why it was successful — because her demeanor was really positive. “
Bridgette's Testimonials
From D., South Bay, 4/29/2023 “Bridgette was terrific. She is a great snuggler who reads her client’s needs and likes and tailors the session to those.

From D.C., Danville, 9/21/2022 “Belle is very easy to work with, she makes me feel relaxed and is open to hear any ideas I might have, and if I ask her to give some ideas she’s ready and willing.

Linda's Testimonials
From Tom, Berkeley, 4/6/2023 “In the fore of my consciousness during this session was the grief of being a little boy who never got touched enough. My snuggle partner supported me with positions and touches that represented the little boy receiving the affection he missed 50+ years ago. Snuggle partner made room for both the weeping and the laughter this work induced in me. Thank you, Linda.”
From Tom, Berkeley, 3/29/2023 “I found myself completely at ease with Linda. She welcomed not only the presence of my body, but also my heart loaded with grief. I knew I had some grief work to do, but I had not anticipated that a snuggle session would take me down that road. Linda demonstrated profound acceptance of me, and I experienced a deep sense of gratitude. Thank you for your kindness, Linda. It was an amazing experience to receive care in this way. I will be scheduling another session soon.”
From Steve, Albany, 2/5/2023 “I had a wonderful experience with Linda and she is deserving of a glowing testimonial. My time with her was soothing, relaxing and easy. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how not at all weird it is to cuddle with a stranger, but I think it takes a certain mindset, particularly for professionals such as Linda; it’s important to be able to put people at ease. She clearly has the mindset. I immediately felt welcome and comfortable in Linda’s space and I couldn’t believe how fast 90 minutes went by. I definitely hope to see her again! “
Lauren's Testimonials
From Jim, Laguna Niguel, 3/31/2023 “Lauren was great. Prior communication was excellent. Easy to find location and parking was fine. Her apartment is very nice and inviting.

Will def see her again.”
Danielle's Testimonials
From Peter, San Diego, 3/25/2023 “Danielle, I too enjoyed our therapy session today immensely. My sense of peace and calm is still with me hours later. As like our previous session, my expectation is that the therapeutic benefits of the session will be with me for the rest of the week. Thank You for listening to me and allowing to share my fond memories of my Father, and what he meant to me. You are easy to talk to and your listening skills are excellent. Please feel free to post my thoughts as a testimonial-I wish more people could experience the benefits of cuddle therapy. Best Regards, Peter”
From Peter, San Diego, 3/7/2023 “Danielle was a caring, sympathetic and gentle therapist. In the weeks prior to the session, I was dealing with significant muscle tension and headaches. After the session, and even several days later, my sense of calm and tranquility has been restored. Danielle is a great asset to your organization. I will be scheduling a follow-up session within a few weeks.
Saturday’s session was extremely therapeutic and brought my tension levels down significantly. Danielle has a true gift of empathy. I’m still quite relaxed as of today. Also, hearing about her intention to assist in hospice activities warmed my heart. Dealing with my Father’s death was the most devastating experience in my life. The hospice personnel helped me work through the struggle.
Cuddle therapy is an excellent “healing” art and more people should be made aware of the benefits.”

Daniel's Testimonials
From Bob, Los Gatos, 12/30/2021 “Matthew was wonderful! We had great a great conversation and cuddling was exactly what I needed. Thank you!”
From Anonymous, Los Gatos, 10/23/2021 “Matthew is super funny. He made me laugh so hard, I was literally rolling on the floor. He was a little reserved at first — I think he just wanted to make sure I was comfortable — but we warmed up quickly with each other and had such a good time! He is a charming Swiss guy with lots of stories. He is also a tech person if you are into that. He is an awesome cuddle and the time we spent being close with his long arms totally encompassing me was perfect. I plan to snuggle with him again very soon.”
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.”
Felicity's Testimonials
From AC, Oakland, 08/07/2022 “On top of being empathetic and good company, Felicity is such a cool person who is comfortable in her own skin. It helped me do the same; I felt comfortable with her almost immediately I look forward to booking with her again.”

From Dorian, Hayward, 4/14/2022 “As you know that was my first time ever and naturally I was very nervous. From the time you greeted me at the door with your warm smile and throughout the whole session you were professional, patient and conferring.

Thank you so much for what you do and for helping me remember some happy moments in my life that it was tucked away and hard to reach.I am glad you enjoyed my quirky cooking tips. I am looking forward to schedule another session with you.”

From R.T., Los Gatos, 4/17/2021 “The appointment with Amanda was a 10! I enjoyed the feeling of being touched and the conversation. Felt relaxed.”
From K.B., Foster City, 6/4/2019 “Amanda is a sweet, sweet lady with amazing touches and caresses!

Marie's Testimonials
From Jorge, South Bay 3/12/2020 “It was awesome! I didn’t realize how much I needed this until I had my appointment, I loved everything about it. It felt so refreshing and it went beyond my expectations. Marie is very professional, I was a bit nervous at first since it’s the first time I do this, but she immediately took over and led me all the way through and made me feel very comfortable and so peaceful. I feel like my anxiety is pretty much gone. This was so worth it. I will definitely continue to book appointments on a regular basis now. Thanks again Marie for being so amazing! It was a great time, I’m so glad we met and I truly enjoyed your presence and genuine kindness. Can’t wait for next time :)”
From Les, East Bay 3/10/2020 “I experienced a session with Marie last night. Our session began with some hand holding in each other’s arms as the sun went down. Pleasant from the very beginning. As we enjoyed a few basic “go to” poses, we enjoyed some like minded philosophical discussions as we lightly caressed each other. I was in need of some substantial nurturing and healing and got it. Marie is a caring, refreshing little bundle of loving energy. She has a healthy outlook on life and a welcoming smile. I could not recommend her more.”
From B.C., San Jose 2/19/2020 “Spending time with Marie was a wonderful, relaxing experience. She has such a friendly, warm personality and I really enjoyed our time together. I feel so lucky to have had a chance to meet such a great human and spend a few precious hours with her!”
From K.L., San Jose 2/6/2020 “I’m really happy that I dove into this experience with you. I believe that this was def. a stepping stone in my personal growth as a human. On top of the open vulnerability and conversations of life, I walked away with greater knowledge of various cuddling positions and what works best for me and the given partner. Marie has both a warming and inviting personality. To sum things up, Marie is awesome at what she does and a great cuddling partner for someone looking to dive into the the give and receive nature of cuddling.”
From Garvin Hung, Los Angeles, 12/29/2019 “Nice conversation, touch felt great! I enjoyed holding hands and hugging, felt very safe!”
From K.B., Foster City, 4/16/2019 “I totally enjoyed our cuddle session as I told you and I guess the best thing I can say is: “I can’t wait for our next session!”. ❤️ You have a very warm personality and demeanor which really put me at ease… keep it up dear lady. Look forward to seeing you again soon!”
From “Snuggle-Guy-In-Stockton”, 3/20/2019 “There is no better feeling than that of being welcomed and cared about and that’s exactly how Marie made me feel. From the moment we met, to the cozy cuddling environment she had prepared for us; and then, to her nurturing embraces and gentle caresses: everything she did gave me the sense of belonging that I so very much needed. Our time was over all too soon and saying I did not want to leave speaks volumes for how I feel about Marie as a snuggle partner. I can’t wait to see Marie again!”
From Joshua, San Jose, 3/9/2019 “Marie was very kind and welcoming, which quickly put me at ease. She’s very snuggly, and has a real talent for giving light touches that feel amazing and leave you feeling very relaxed. I really look forward to snuggling with her again!”
Yvonne's Testimonials

My blockages were something I was aware of but Yvonne put a lot into perspective for me. She took me on this journey and visited true self of me that needed affection and healing attention. This process taught me how to connect to my highest true self. Investing in your health and well-being is the greatest act of self-love.”
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.”
