About Me.
Hello! I'm Mira and I'd like to share a little about myself so you can get to know me. I have been attending cuddle parties since Fall of 2024 and working as a full-time professional cuddler since May 2025. I left my successful career in Software Engineering after feeling stuck for over a decade. I was trapped in those golden handcuffs, which to many may sound like a good problem to have. But my mental and physical health began to suffer which impacted all other areas of my life. After learning that I was a natural cuddler, I saw an opportunity to start a new adventure. I chose this work because I can live my life according to my morals and values, in all areas of my life. Unlike working in the corporate world, my work as a professional cuddler gives me the freedom to act with integrity, autonomy, and actually make a positive impact on the world. I am proud of the work I do and I hope to enable others to improve their lives in the same ways that cuddling has improved my life! I'm committed to constant improvement and adding to my skillsets not only in my personal life but in my practice as a pro cuddler as well.
