Sometimes people think touch deprivation is this great big dramatic experience. In fact, it can be quiet and unassuming. You may think you're "fine" while your body feels like an empty room.

In session, we rebuild safety slowly: clear yes/no, check-ins, pressure-free cuddling and touch, or just shoulders touching. Your body learns it can relax again.

If you’re hungry for safe affection (and out of practice), you’re not broken. You’ve just adapted to a situation. Ready to let the drawbridge down, gently?

Loneliness can manifest in many ways, such as feeling disconnected from others, exhausted, stuck in negative thoughts, struggling to sleep.

Recognizing these symptoms is the first step. The second? Taking action to reconnect.

You could reach out to someone, join a group, or even practice self-compassion.

These small steps can make a big difference.

Remember, you don’t have to go it alone.

You're going to have to get out into the real world and try to make connections.

You could also volunteer. It's free! Just costs you your time.

I'm not saying it's easy. I'm saying this is how you change things in your life that you don't like.

What are some other free ideas to address loneliness?

Comment below and share your wisdom. 🙂

Just so you all know, there ain't no hankypanky going on here.

It's good ol'fashioned platonic touch, human connection, and intimacy. 😉

Touch gets easier with a map. In the new blog post I share the exact scripts, timers, and micro-practices I use to make consent a living conversation so your body can stop bracing and start receiving.

Try this tonight: one-minute hand hold, timer visible, check-in at 30 seconds.

Then debrief: what worked, what to tweak.

The beautiful thing about consent is that it's an ongoing conversation your nervous system can trust.

There are clear roles and a steady pace, the body stops bracing and starts receiving.

I just posted a blog that breaks down safety vs comfort, why structure matters, and how mutual touch can build confidence.

Consent isn’t a checkbox but instead the whole container.

A new study on professional cuddling maps how we make platonic touch safe: set expectations, keep asking, and practice “no” as care.

It also names what to do when boundaries wobble (from awkward moments to overstimulation), so sessions stay kind and clear.

Curious what that feels like in real life?

I posted this week's blog about it, plus how I use bidirectional, co-created touch in session.

Read it and exhale.

Boundaries that stick

In my latest blog, I’m sharing exactly how I guide clients through this process, step by step.

We start with consent and mutuality. We build trust. We tailor every session to you.

And what do we get?

Confidence. Clarity. Connection. 💞

If you’ve ever felt unsure, guarded, or starved for safe touch, this one’s for you.

Safe, nurturing touch is not a luxury. It’s a public health need.

We are living through a silent epidemic of touch deprivation.

It’s impacting our health, our nervous systems, and our sense of worth.

In my newest blog, I break down:
✨️ The science behind loneliness and touch starvation
✨️ Why mutual, consent-based touch is medicine
✨️ A term I use often: emotional nourishment through mutuality

Let's start acknowledging human connection like the life-support it is.
