Ever wanted to learn more about platonic touch and its impact on our lives? Then this course may just be for you. A thorough and informative course covering everything from the physiological and biological responses to touch to how touch differs in various cultures through to social and ethical aspects. It also covers how to set up in business as a cuddle professional. I thoroughly enjoyed researching the topics covered and also notice how much more touch aware I am on a personal level so, in fact, it is not only great as a holistic therapy but also for enhancing our own relationships with family and friends. Kitty is very professional and supportive throughout.

I found out a lot of amazing information about touch from the perspective of health and social interaction, and appreciated the sections for practical use. This will be a solid basis for being a professional cuddler and spreading the importance of touch in society

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. As a death doula, touch is a powerful tool in supporting people who are terminally ill and/or dying. I got everything I needed from this course to integrate touch therapy into my practice. I recommend it to anyone interested in touch therapy.

I was very pleased with the course. It answered many questions that I had about the role of appropriate touch in the delivery of compassion to my fellow human and focused nicely on the anatomical structures that allow different kinds of response to touch. Even after completing the course, I still re-read the material for enjoyment.
