Cuddling plays an important role in our overall well-being. Even animals have the instinct to snuggle up together. The big hurdle for humans is that cuddles often don’t happen unless we are in relationships, and we live in time where a lot of face-to-face interaction has been eliminated by screens and technology. Cuddle therapy removes these barriers and fulfills the innate need for physical affection in a platonic and safe way. Whether you want to cuddle for friendship, relaxation, or therapeutic reasons, I would be happy to be your snuggle partner!

It’s no secret that cuddling releases oxytocin, aka the “love” or “bonding” hormone. Oxytocin production reduces blood pressure, stress, the effects of anxiety and depression, and can even lower your risk for heart disease. Getting a boost of oxytocin can create an overall feeling of well-being, happiness, and positivity, which significantly helps our mental health, and in turn, our physical health. Cuddles are beneficial in so many ways!

Cuddles are for everyone! I love the diversity of people I get to meet. Individuals who have high stress jobs make up most of my clientele, but cuddles can be very beneficial if you are/have any of the following:

• Working through grief, anxiety, depression, breakup, divorce, etc.

• Neurodivergent and need specific care and attention.

• Wanting to learn and practice boundaries, consent, communication, and self-care.

• Going through any sort of recovery program.

• Need more confidence with physical affection and connection.

• Graduated therapy, but still wish for some additional support.

My rate is $65 per hour. See my pricing & info page for more details.
