What is a Cuddle Professional?

​

A trained and skilled professional cuddler holds a confidential safe space for their consenting adult client to experience healthy non-sexual human touch within pre-agreed boundaries.

Sessions consist of platonic cuddling, talking and listening. There is no sexual activity involved. Cuddle Professionals accept clients of all genders, races, ages (18+), sexualities and body types.

​

Do you have what it takes?

​

Cuddle Professionals are tactile, warm, empathic, understanding and non-judgemental. No previous experience is required, although many have backgrounds in holistic therapy and the caring professions.
