Note: Since first publishing this post, I’ve gained more clarity about what this transition means. I’m stepping away from monthly event production while remaining active through private sessions, resources, select mentorship, and aligned special collaborations.

For some time now, I’ve been feeling called to change the rhythm of my work.

After years of leading local cuddle events, I realized it was time to step back from the pace of producing them month after month. That decision didn’t come from disconnection or doubt about the value of the work. It came from listening more closely to my own energy, and to the sense that a new chapter was asking to take shape.

There is a difference between ending something and refining it. What I’m doing is refining.

Cuddle Sanctuary remains deeply meaningful to me. The heart of the work—offering care, connection, learning, and support—has not changed. What is changing is the form. I’m no longer leading monthly events, and that has created space for me to think more carefully about where I can contribute most meaningfully now.

I’ve also been reflecting on the larger arc of my work and life. Sometimes clarity arrives all at once; sometimes it comes more gradually. This moment feels more like the second kind. I can feel a new chapter emerging, even if its full shape is still coming into focus.

In the meantime, I’m choosing intentionality over momentum for its own sake. I’m making room for work that is sustainable, values-aligned, and deeply alive for me.

If you’ve found community, healing, or delight through Cuddle Sanctuary’s events, please know how grateful I am. It has been a privilege to create and hold those spaces. And while I’m stepping away from the rhythm of monthly gatherings, I’m not disappearing.

Cuddle Sanctuary is evolving, not ending.

I remain available through private sessions, online resources, select mentorship, and aligned collaborations. I’m also grateful that there are other beautiful cuddle spaces in the wider community, and I’m glad people have places to continue exploring this work.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for your trust, your curiosity, and your care. I’m looking forward to sharing more as this next chapter continues to unfold.
