| About me (Interests, credentials, hobbies, family) |
Being part of communities is important to me. I'm active with HAI (Human Awareness Institute), More House / Mark Groups, Mensa, several Meetups and now Cuddle Party. Feel free to ask me about any of these groups if you attend a Cuddle Party with me.
I am a pet lover and live with 2 friendly, talkative parrots, who may greet you with "'Hi!" as you arrive and "bye-bye" as you depart.

| Favorite CP Rule |
Rule # 2 - You don't have to cuddle anyone at a Cuddle Party, ever. The only thing mandatory at a Cuddle Party is to abide by the Rules of Cuddling. I love the sense of freedom this gives me to be authentic. It also seems to help new Cuddlers dip their toes in the Cuddle Pool, without pressure to immerse.

| What I got out of CP personally |
I've been going to Reid and Marcia's (the founders) Cuddle Parties since January 2005.
In 2007, as I separated from my husband of 16 years, I decided that being more active with Cuddle Parties would be the perfect way to have lots of cuddling in my life, even though I had lost my regular cuddle buddy. Cuddle Parties have been a wonderful way to meet cuddly people, many who have become friends.
Cuddle Parties provide an opportunity to give and receive affectionate, non-sexual touch, which is incredibly nurturing and relaxing. It's also a mini-lab in communication, where participants can practice making clear requests, establishing boundaries and honoring the requests and boundaries of the other participants.

Who I am as a CP Facilitator /
What you'll find at my CPs |
I love to host parties. What you could expect to find at my Cuddle Parties is a cozy room, with padded floors, soft lights and music, yummy snacks and interesting people.
As a Cuddle Party facilitator I am a warm, friendly, welcoming host, that helps participants feel comfortable and taken care of:
* by inviting them to share feelings and non-sexual touch,
* by demonstrating and practicing expressing desires,
* by responding to others requests with clear yes's and no's,
* by setting boundaries
* and by encouraging participants to stretch in order to fully enjoy the experience.
