About Randy
Cuddle Professional – Licensed Massage Therapist – Massage Instructor – Coach/Teacher
I like to help people using professional touch. Cuddling comes natural for me and caring for others through massage is my full-time job. My skills in hugging, touching, holding, caressing, and nurturing come from Thai Massage, Aquatic Bodywork, Lomi Lomi, assisted stretching, and being a father. I'm naturally affectionate and skilled in touch and respecting boundaries. Sessions take place in a professional space with options to use a heated couch or padded floor for cuddling. Abundant pillows and blankets are available.
Cuddle with me and feel better with reduced stress and a lasting sense of wellbeing. With my guidance learn to recognize and ask for what you want; and say "no" to what you don't. Take that skill home and apply it to your life. Come share real human connection with me by touching and being touched in a professional way.

Professionally Trained to Cuddle
I'm trained in therapeutic touch from many years of professional massage. I'm also a Cuddlist “Professional Trained Cuddler” which means I have had specific training by the Cuddlist organization in professional cuddling, passed the knowledge exams, and agree to follow the code of conduct and specific procedures during Cuddlist sessions.
Anyone can say they cuddle and list themselves on certain websites. However as of November 2022 there are only twelve professionally trained Cuddlists in all of California. I’m the first and only Professional Cuddlist in the High Desert.
A Professional Cuddlist studies how to establish and maintain boundaries, teach you to be empowered in sessions, help you become aware of feelings and advocate for what you want, help you recognize when and how to say “no” to others, and train you to speak up. Together we adjust and negotiate for mutually agreeable outcomes. I support and gently lead while leaving you in control of the session. I know how to end a session when necessary and you are encouraged to always communicate discomfort or end a session with no explanation if needed. I'm trained to recognize trauma and how to work with you if it is activated in a session.
Cuddling with a professional ensures that you have a safe experience and I hope you get to experience it with me - Randy
A Decade of Massage
I have a decade of working with clients using professional therapeutic touch in numerous massage modalities. I have had many complicated one-on-one touch sessions over the years and I can handle any situation a client may want to explore, or one that may occur spontaneously.
I have more than 2,000 hours of massage training and each touch modality has taught me skills that I use in cuddling.
Thai Massage (Deon Thai Massage Practitioner) – I’m an expert Thai Massage Therapist and Instructor. This touch modality is performed on a fully clothed client so everything in this modality can be used in a cuddle session. Here are some things you can explore with me. I can sit on you, lay on you, stretch you, cradle you in my lap, rest your head on my chest, bend you sideways over my knee as shown above. Massage your back with my feet, palm, thumbs, knee, forearm, or elbows. Work your glutes. Press you all over with my feet, massage your face and scalp, ear massage, bend you over my back, sit back to back, put our feet together, sit between your legs and work your stomach, walk on you, rock you, and many more.
Clinical Bodywork (Certified Coaching the Body Practitioner)– Rigorous technical bodywork has taught me a detailed and extensive knowledge of the anatomy of muscles, nerves, lymphatic and central nervous systems. I study the science of pain and how to quiet an overactive nervous system. I know how to find and treat trigger points, recognize referred pain patterns, how to evaluate by palpation, observe stances and gait, and how to use special massage tools.
Orthopedic Massage – I have taken numerous James Waslaski classes and understand how to use Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), release strains, work scar tissue, release frozen shoulders, and treat complex body issues.
Oncology Massage – I worked with Gayle MacDonald on cancer patients and learned the power of gentle bodywork on distressed bodies, and how to work with empathy and compassion with those facing the end of their lives.
Myofascial Release (MFR) – I have taken all the major MFR classes and interned with John Barnes in his clinic. I have learned to support a client’s every movement if they want to "unwind" I can support and work with you on any emotion that comes and have experience with clients that want to scream, cry, laugh, or be out of their body. I know how to place my hands to release fascia, or deal with the strong emotions of trauma as they are released from touch.
Temple Style Lomi Lomi – is a Hawaiian massage that has taught me extensive caressing skills for the entire body, body lifts, and to connect to someone’s energy and help them open up.
Healing Dance – is a water-based bodywork that has taught me client mindfulness, matching breath and breathing together, and many comforting ways of holding a client near or against my body.
Come cuddle with me and let’s explore together. I’m skilled in massaging every area of the body, caressing, compressions, scratching, holding, tickling, stretching, and hugging. I can use my body on yours to massage, stretch, or comfort. From your head to your toes you can be enveloped in a human blanket, you just have to ask. - Randy
