I would feel very rejected if i'd been in this situation too. I would feel exactly as you do.

I think when the therapeutic relationship is new, therapists stick to their boundaries until they get to know the client better and they can relax the boundaries as time goes on. Sounds to me like she doesn't initiate it with any clients but isn't adverse to hugs if the clients wants it.

I think touch is a minefield for therapist because every client reacts differently to it. But i do know that her not hugging you isn't about you being untouchable even tho i totally get why you feel that way.
