Friday night, four brave souls embarked on a journey to find out what they did and didn't like when it comes to being touched. It was wonderful to see people relax into their bodies, smiling and giggling. As always the word I use most to describe people after receiving nurturing human touch is "relieved."

It's been a couple of months since I've done an in-person event in Reno, and I'm excited to be returning to House of RA for another night of nurturing human touch. So many people are touch-starved but have no idea of how to cross that territory between two people. Come practice in a low-stakes space where we will start small and go slowly. People of all genders are welcome at this one. :) Hope to see y'all out there in a couple of weeks!

Another new podcast dropped! Check it out. 🙂

Back in July I sat down to talk with to chat about human touch. We talked about how she didn't like to be touched until she had kids, and how touch can create connection between people. Great reminder of how our need and desire for touch can change over the course of our lifetime.

Thank you again for having me on your show, Ms. Mitzi! I really enjoyed our conversation.

You can find this podcast on all the platforms where podcasts are hosted, and also on YouTube. I'll drop the Spotify link in the comments.

When I was writing my book about how to get more touch as a single person, I had lots of folks come up to me and whisper, "you know, single people aren't the only ones who struggle with getting enough touch."

Yup, I did know that - the s*x = touch paradigm hurts people who are romantically involved, in different ways from how it hurts single people.

A few years back I created this workshop for a support group for couples focused on s*xuality run by a friend who was a s*x therapist. I'm excited to be dusting it off and offering it this week in Reno. Come on out and give yourself and your partner the gift of an expanded touch vocabulary.

How have YOU used platonic touch to create more intimacy in your relationship?

I'm super excited to be doing an in-person event next week in Reno, NV!

here's the details:

nurturing human touch can relax your body, quiet your mind, soothe your heart, and rejuvenate your soul via simple physical connection. Join your fellow femmes for an evening of tenderness, and learn how to receive and give platonic touch in a safe container.

It's like Christmas when I open up Amazon and find a new review for the book!

Oh hey, you didn't know that I wrote a book about how to get your touch needs met? Get thee to the nearest online bookseller and grab yourself a copy. It's available in print, digital download and audiobook. You can find the link below to get yourself a copy.

Hitting this one a bit late, but this was such a fun conversation. I love talking to people who grew up in different cultures to find out how touch is navigated there. Dr. Moali and I also talk about psychedelic therapy (a topic near and dear to my heart), and the importance of feeling safe and in control when it comes to touch for women. You can check it out on your podcast platform of choice.

Fresh podcast interview just dropped! Back in October I chatted with Ms. Amy Taylor about the intersection of mental health and human touch, and how lack of touch can increase loneliness. Really pleased with how this one turned out, and am grateful for Amy's curious mind and willingness to dive into a topic she had not considered before.... link in comments.

A few months back I had the opportunity to chat with about how health and wellness coaches might discuss the topic of touch to help their clients experience better health and relationships. Link in comments.
