Nellie Wilson

I believe that everyone deserves to feel cared for, seen and respected as a whole person, and that consent and honest open communication are the foundation to making that possible. I have been an avid student and practitioner of communication and consent for over 15 years in my work and personal life.

I draw from my background in massage therapy, sex education, my master’s degree in Integrative Health and Wellness Coaching from the California Institute of Integral Studies, and my Cuddlist certification, to provide quality care in all aspects of my work. I am a certified Cuddle Party facilitator and a Wheel of Consent facilitator. I offer these workshops in Western Massachusetts.

Living with a chronic illness for 20 years also informs my work and drives me to give back to people in the disability and chronic illness communities that have given me so much. I am honored to be able to share what I’ve learned, and continue to learn; and to support individuals and groups to improve the quality of their lives and relationships through communication, consent, and touch.

Involvement in local community is also important to me. I am a long time volunteer and now board member at the Lyme Disease Resource Center, Inc., volunteer for the Hilltown Land Trust vernal pool program, and foster rabbits with Western Mass Rabbit Rescue. I also enjoy gardening and spending time in nature.
