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.

This is what healing touch actually looks like 👇🏽

Calm mind
Safe body
Clear communication
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.

Most healing spaces focus on receiving but what if your healing includes giving too?

Bidirectional Therapeutic Touch is a mutual, consent-based practice that transforms how we relate to touch, ourselves, and each other.

In my latest blog, I break down:

✨ What bidirectional touch means
✨ Why mutuality is the missing ingredient in most healing work
✨ A client story that still gives me goosebumps

We are restoring connection in the most natural and basic way: comforting touch...who would have thought?

Ever feel “off” but can’t quite explain why?

It might not be stress. Or burnout. Or even anxiety.

You might be touch-deprived.

And yes, that’s a real thing. Fun fact, it’s more common than you think.

In my latest blog, I share what touch deprivation truly looks like (hint: it’s not always loneliness), why our bodies crave platonic connection, and how cuddle therapy helps you come home to yourself: safely, gently, without pressure.

Let me know if it resonates.

Men crave connection too. Not just s*x. Not just performance.Genuine emotional closeness. Comfort. Safety. Softness.

That's what we're talking about in this week’s blog.

Cuddle therapy offers men a chance to feel without judgment and to be held without pressure.

You don’t have to earn this. You’re worthy already.

Your body remembers what your mind forgets.

Cuddle therapy offers a gentle way to explore connection at your own pace.

Reading kind words like this always plucks at my heartstrings. 🥰🩵🥰🩵

I'm so grateful when people take the time to reflect and share how this work impacts them even if it is an appreciation for my newsletter in blogs.

Every story I share is an invitation, not a pitch, to look into the quiet, meaningful moments that happen when we slow down and allow ourselves to be held not just physically but also emotionally.

Thank you for allowing me to be seen AND for seeing the value in that.

What even is cuddle therapy? Spoiler: it’s not just hugging strangers.

Cuddle therapy is a trauma-informed, consent-driven space where safe, platonic touch helps regulate your nervous system, support healing, and meet your deep need for connection.

This week's blog breaks down the basics:

💫 What to expect
💫 How it helps with trauma, grief & loneliness
💫 Why it’s not just for “touchy-feely” people

Loneliness doesn’t always come from being alone.

It can sneak in after a breakup, the loss of someone close, or even when the house gets too quiet.

Sometimes it’s anxiety, depression, or feeling like we’re not enough.

If you’ve been feeling lonely, you're not broken and you're definitely not alone.

Bidirectional therapeutic touch can help reconnect you to your body, your heart, and your humanity.

What has loneliness looked like for you?
