Welcome to River Rose Cuddle Cottage
A safe, inclusive, and nurturing space where comfort,
connection, and healing bloom.
I'm River Rose—an accredited cuddle therapist with
decades of experience in holistic healing, emotional
support, and compassionate connection. I created this
sanctuary to offer you the grounding, warmth, and care
you deserve through the simple yet powerful experience
of platonic, therapeutic touch.
Whether you’re navigating stress, grief, loneliness,
chronic illness, or simply craving human connection in a
judgment-free space, I’m here to meet you where you
are—with presence, tenderness, and respect.
Every session is personalized to your needs, honoring
your boundaries while fostering trust, calm, and
emotional restoration. Let’s co-create a space where
your nervous system can exhale and your heart feels at
home.

But Wait, There’s More
Each session at River Rose Cuddle Cottage is designed to be a deeply comforting and
personalized experience. Complimentary aromatherapy, along with your choice of
lighting and music, creates a soothing ambiance tailored to your preferences. The
cuddle cottage is climate controlled with a HEPA filter, air conditioner, and space heater,
ensuring your comfort no matter the season. After each session, the space is thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected to maintain a sterile environment for every client.
Ready To Cuddle Up?
I’m River Rose, an internationally certified cuddle therapist with a deep
passion for helping others heal through the transformative power of
platonic touch.
I hold an accredited diploma from Cuddle Professionals International,
certification in trauma-informed care through Trauma Informed
Oregon, and I’m currently training as a relationship coach to further
support clients in building stronger, healthier emotional connections. My
background also includes work in psychology, client services, massage,
and holistic healing—all of which inform the heart-centered care I
provide today.
Touch is one of our most powerful and underutilized healing tools. It
soothes the nervous system, eases emotional pain, and helps us feel
safe, seen, and whole. Yet, up to 80% of people experience touch
deprivation—leaving many disconnected from this vital source of
comfort.
At River Rose Cuddle Cottage, I’ve created a safe, nurturing space
where connection, consent, and care come first. Whether you're seeking
rest, reassurance, or emotional release, my mission is simple:
To let healing bloom—one embrace at a time.
Who Am I?
Giving Back:
Healing Beyond
Our Sessions
- At River Rose Cuddle Cottage, I believe that healing extends
beyond the walls of our sessions and into the world around us.
That’s why I’m committed to giving back through the work we
do together. For every session you book, 5% of the fee will be
donated to a cause that you choose from a list of carefully
selected organizations. This is my way of ensuring that our
work together not only nurtures your well-being but also
supports the greater good.
- How It Works:
- Book a Session: Your session also supports a meaningful
cause. - Choose Your Cause: After each session, pick one of four
organizations dedicated to making a positive impact. - We Donate: 5% of your fee goes directly to your chosen
organization, extending the healing beyond our session.
- Why It Matters:
Every act of kindness creates a ripple effect. By choosing to invest in your well-being through cuddle therapy,
you’re also investing in the well-being of others. This initiative is about more than just giving—it’s about
fostering a sense of community, compassion, and shared healing.
- Thank you for helping make the world brighter, one session at a time.
