I couldnât believe it.
When I read the studies about how much we as human beings need touch-AS MUCH AS FOOD- I never saw the work I do the same way.
Itâs incredible how deeply our bodies respond to nurturing, intentional touch.
When we donât receive enough of it, our nervous system starts sending subtle signals that something is missing â not because weâre dramatic, but because weâre human.
⨠We feel more on-edge.
Touch lowers cortisol and tells the body, âYouâre safe.â Without it, stress lingers longer than it should.
⨠Loneliness gets louder.
Touch is one of the ways we feel emotionally held, even without words. When itâs missing, connection can feel just out of reach.
⨠We experience âskin hunger.â
A real psychological craving for contact â the same way hunger is a craving for nourishment.
⨠Self-worth can dip.
Nurturing touch reminds us, âYou matter. Youâre cherished.â
When itâs absent, the heart can start to question what the mind knows is true.
⨠Even the body changes.
Sleep, immunity, and overall well-being are directly tied to healthy, supportive touch.
The beautiful thing?
Our nervous system responds immediately to safe, intentional contact â through massage, grounding touch, warm pressure, breathwork, or even mindful self-soothing.
Touch is a language the body never forgets.
And when offered with care, intention, and presence⌠it becomes medicine.
