Hello, I'm Becky! 

Despite having a successful decade as an architect, I always felt like I had more to offer—something deeper, more human, more in-person. I loved designing fancy custom homes, but what I craved was making a difference toward a more human-centered world.

​

After an amazingly adventurous chapter traveling the world for nearly four years—and a not-so-fun chapter facing the trauma of a near-death experience—I was cracked open in ways I couldn’t ignore. What became crystal clear was this: intimacy is essential. But too often, our culture confuses intimacy with sex. In reality, that’s just one small piece—and not the most meaningful one.

​

For my own sanity, nervous system, and soul, what I’ve needed is safe, platonic intimacy with no pressure: the kind that softens our armor, eases loneliness, and whispers, “You belong here, just as you are.” Perhaps in an ideal scenario our close friends and family can provide this, but that isn’t always a reality. As an avid solo traveler, there have been countless times I’ve felt entirely seen and fulfilled in a finite encounter. These inspired me.

​

In 2018, I launched a professional cuddling business that quickly became a quiet success. What I didn’t realize at the time was that I was getting a front-row, real-world education in the anecdotal power of oxytocin. Session after session, I watched simple, safe, intentional touch regulate stress, lower emotional walls, and help people feel more alive and connected. But even more than that, it brought something deeply human back into the room. While professionalism and clear boundaries are essential, I learned they don’t have to be rigid—or robotic. These sessions were full of real connection, real conversation, and the kind of mutual presence that makes both people feel good, inside and out.

​

It felt like magic—but also science! After nearly two years, I closed up shop and enrolled in grad school to study oxytocin. Unfortunately, I was accepted into my program in April of 2020, meaning my entire Master’s program in psychological research took place during COVID—no touch research allowed. Ooph.

​

Reluctantly, though not regretfully, I focused my thesis on emotional loneliness, attachment style, and how these relate to our ability to recognize and express our feelings and needs (alexithymia). The research was validating. For roughly 68–80% of us, our struggle to feel emotional connection and secure attachment was significantly correlated with our inability to feel, name, and communicate what we feel and need.

​

I would love to live in a needs-based society. Since we don’t, this is a needs-based studio.
Here, your needs are centered—for touch, for nurturing, for play, and for the needs you haven’t fully identified yet. You’re encouraged to explore them.

​

After graduating, I spent two years working at The Gottman Institute, immersed in the science of love, relationships, and emotional repair. It was important work at The Love Lab—and also clarifying. Eventually, my heart nudged me toward something more hands-on—literally.

​

I didn’t want to just understand connection. I wanted to offer it. 

​

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned—about touch, oxytocin, trauma, nervous system regulation, and the wildly beautiful complexity of being human—and woven it into something that felt worth sharing:
