Think about the last time someone gave you a really good hug.

A deep breath. 

A soft relaxed feeling of really being held.

There's definitely a knack to being fully present and offering an enveloping feeling of warmth, safety, and care.

Safe, platonic touch is a relatively new modality for wellness.  I'm excited to join with you and share space and connection. 

I'm Really Glad You Stopped By

I believe that physical connection is essential to our well-being, and unfortunately, most people don't experience enough of it.

What is Cuddle Therapy?

The art of cuddling is about creating a safe container to practice establishing boundaries and consent. It is about learning to feel into your body and listen carefully, to interpret those signals without fear or judgment.

Platonic cuddle therapy creates the conditions for healing. It's a therapeutic modality that gives clients access to platonic touch through boundaries and consent education to provide validation, support, and nurturing. This represents a one-on-one healing modality. Please visit this page if you're curious about small group cuddle parties.

This modality is unique in that it is about building connection and secure attachment through reciprocal communication and mutual experience.

I will create and maintain a safe space for you to experience healing. As the initiator of all consensual touch, you, the client, will learn how to trust yourself.

Every Cuddle Session begins with the Opening Agreement:

"I promise to honor myself, honor you, and honor our shared connection. This means that I promise I won't tolerate any discomfort - physical or emotional. And that you agree as well. This way, we won't have to caretaker one another. Can you do that?"  

I'll speak up when something feels uncomfortable, and we'll adjust.  You agree to do the same.

We both agree that this time is for you. You will take the lead on how we cuddle and ask for what kind of touch feels right.

As the Cuddlist, I ask you to commit to honoring your own boundaries and speaking up if anything is uncomfortable. If you change your mind, no explanation is needed. 

Rest assured that all my "Yes's" are true.
