Frequently Asked Questions
01
Q: What exactly is Oxytocin Bathing?
A: It’s a guided, platonic, touch-based experience designed to help your body release oxytocin—the “connection hormone”—through safe, caring presence.
I call it bathing because it’s like soaking your nervous system in warmth and connection until it sighs in relief. Clothes stay on, hearts open up!
02
Q: Who is this for?
A: Anyone who wants more touch and caring intimacy in their life. Maybe you’re feeling touch-deprived, maybe you just love connection, maybe you’re curious about how good safe touch can feel. If you have a body and a heartbeat, you’re welcome here.
03
Q: What happens in a session?
A: We start with an easy conversation to find out what feels comfortable for you. Then we shift into touch—this might be stillness, gentle holding, or slow, nurturing strokes. It’s co-created every time, so you get exactly the pace and style your body says yes to.
04
Q: What should I wear?
A: Anything soft, comfy, and easy to move in. Most people wear shorts and a tank top for more skin contact, but you can wear long sleeves or pants, or wear layers, to your own comfort level. Think “favorite lounge clothes,” not “fashion runway.” Bonus points if you can nap in it afterward!
05
Q: What are the boundaries?
A: My boundaries are simple: no touching in swimsuit areas and nothing involving the mouth. We also keep the energy in the nurturing lane, not the sensual lane. This is about care, safety, and connection—not sexual chemistry.
06
Q: Is this sexual?
A: Nope. Not a bit. While our culture often confuses intimacy with sex, this is about the other kind—the kind that says, “You’re safe here, exactly as you are.” Everything is platonic, consensual, and designed to help your nervous system chill out and feel at home.
07
Q: What if I get turned on?
A: While there is no erogenous intention, bodies do body things sometimes. Don’t sweat it—humans are human. Depending on our dynamic, we can make a joke about it, talk it through, or simply switch to a type of touch that’s got less “juice” for you. No shame, no problem.
08
Q: What if I’m not super touchy-feely?
A: Perfect. You don’t have to be a hugger to benefit from safe touch. We’ll go slow, communicate a lot, and keep checking in so you’re in charge of your own comfort the whole time.
09
Q: Will I feel different right away?
A: Many people leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more grounded—like a long exhale they didn’t know they were holding. Others notice changes over the next few days: sleeping better, smiling more, feeling less stressed.
10
Q: Why oxytocin?
A: I've been a tad obsessed with Oxytocin for close to a decade. Oxytocin is basically your body’s built-in “you belong here” chemical. It lowers stress, helps you trust, boosts your mood, and even supports healing. All we’re doing is giving your system a loving nudge to make more of it.
11
Q: Do I have to talk during the session?
A: Nope. We can chat nonstop or you can be nonverbal, and anything in between. You can even nap! This is your time. Some people feel more open when they talk; others love the peace of just being still. We can adjust the talking dial as needed, I'll check in.
12
Q: What if I cry?
A: Tears are entirely welcome here. Sometimes safe touch melts more than just muscle tension. Tissues provided :)
13
Q: Can we talk before I book?
A: Absolutely. In fact, I recommend it! Reach out via email, phone, or the contact form below. Let me know some slots in your schedule for a 5-15 minute chat.
