Michelle Renee

Michelle Renee (she/her) trained with Cuddlist back in the very beginning, December 2015. She was a newly divorced mother of 2 sons, and was looking for who she would be in this next stage of her life. She made the snowy drive from West Michigan to Chicago and met with Cuddlist.com co-founder Madelon Guinazzo, a meeting that would be the beginning of the rest of her life.

Over the next year she became the a Cuddlist Certified Touch Practitioner, Operations Manager for Cuddlist.com, and Certified Cuddle Party facilitator. Her life has changed through her work, which involves education around consent, communication, and boundary setting on top of providing a safe container to facilitate touch. Through her work she healed the wounds of her unhealthy marriage and became a walking example of the virtues she teaches.

 Now based in San Diego, California, she's living her best life and supporting her clients in living theirs.  She is an active member of STEM (Sex Therapy Education Medicine) and GSRD (Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity Affirming Therapists), and a practicing surrogate partner.
