Cuddle Therapy

Sometimes, all you need is a good cuddle.

Cuddle Therapy gives emotional, mental and spiritual support; reduction in pain, anxiety and stress; and regulates the body through platonic intimacy and non-sexual touch. Sometimes a good cuddle is all you need

You may seek a professional cuddler for many reasons:

• You want a type of touch or intimacy that that you don’t have access to in your personal life
• You are constatnly giving caring touch, and you want to just receive that care and attention
• You want to experience touch in a controlled environment
  • because you have little or no previous experience, and are nervous about taking your first steps
  • because you have experieced challenges or trauma, and you want to reclaim physical touch
• You are neuroatypical, and you want to examine and learn about the physical and social dynamics of touch
• You want a specific type of person to cuddle you. You want it at a certain time or place
• You want a quality cuddle that you can’t get from the people in your life.

Or some other reason! Let me know about your needs, and I’ll meet you there.

What is a session like?

Sessions are for one person, and last beween 1 and 4 hours. We meet in your home or my studio space in Redcliffe, Bristol.

We begin by getting settled and comfortable. Everything that follows relies on this foundation.

We discuss the rules and expectations for the session, including consent and communication tools.

We go over some options for how the rest of the session might look. It is different for different people, depending on their needs! Some people know exactly what they want, and we dive straight in. Others are unsure, and so I suggest some options and we try them out, checking in often. Some people want to chat. Others prefer to stay silent. Some want to switch it up frequently. Others prefer to carry on in one way for a long time.

At the end of the day, A cuddle session is for you. It is a platonic and consensual exploration of your needs and desires. It can include holding and being held in different positions, sharing different qualities of touch, talking, being present and focused on each other. The most important thing is how you feel.
