ELIZABETH | Your Cuddle Therapy, Enfield, London

Hello, my name is Elizabeth and in addition to being a professional Cuddle Therapist I am also an experienced Complementary Massage Therapist and Reiki Master. Ever since I was a young girl, all I wanted to do was to help others. This led me on my own personal journey of spirituality, consciousness, and self-expansion, where I discovered complementary therapy and witnessed first-hand the many benefits that the correct intention, combined with a loving, heart led and compassionate touch could offer, not only to myself, but to others also. Our modern society can be touch deprived and this combined with the pressures of balancing work and family commitments mean that being able to find that sense of inner peace and acceptance is now more important than ever before. Your session with me will always be in a safe and non-judgemental space, working within mutual boundaries and consent where you can just be who you want to be with no agenda or expectations. The sessions are at a pace that feels right for you, whether that is simply having a chat with no contact, holding hands whilst doing something you enjoy, having a foot rub or having a cuddle that is your personal choice. Every session is tailor made for your individual needs, to enable you rediscover and reconnect with yourself once again. I look forward to meeting you very soon. Elizabeth x

MARIANNA HOLLOSI  Islington, London

Hi there.  I am Marianna, here to support you, help you connect back to yourself and to another human being, and to build trust and confidence in you. I’ll help you regulate your nervous system in order to feel safe within yourself when in an uncomfortable situation, and perform better at work. You’ll relax and de-stress on such a level that might not be possible all by yourself. In my safe environment there’s no judgment or criticism so you can just be you without having to do or even say anything and still feel seen, heard and accepted. Cuddle therapy is so much more than just a cuddle. It is a co-creation between two people, and it can be a deep connection between the masculine and the feminine resulting in healing old emotional wounds. We practice boundaries and consent, plus communication is important, helping me to tailor every session individually for you. Physical touch is crucial for our well-being, and together we activate our bodies’ natural healing properties. Not to mention that it is one of the five languages, the one without which life cannot be enjoyed. Come and have a cuddle with me and feel loved the way you have never felt before.  Check out my website if you’d like to know more about me and my approach to cuddle therapy. I have different types of services depending on your needs. If you already like what you see, get in touch

ROSA TOMASSI-BELLA|Touch Therapy, Rhyl, North Wales

My name is Rosa Tomassi-Bella, I live in Rhyl, North Wales, just a mooch away from beautiful beaches, and scenic walks. I moved here three years ago from Southeast London, looking for the peace that comes from being so close with nature.   My therapy room is in my home, specifically designed to offer a warm, safe, welcoming environment you’ll want to melt into. With a log burner, a selection of comforters, and of course lots of hugs.

I have a background in person centred counselling, psychology with neuropsychology, meditation and mindfulness, gym instruction and personal training. I am passionate about people, helping others to improve their self-worth, self-love, self-care, quality of life and to increase their empowerment and self-acceptance, all of which led me to Cuddle Professionals International diploma course.

As a professional touch therapist, (cuddliest), I offer an empathic listening ear even when words are unspoken. I offer a calm, safe, platonic space to hold hands or snuggle, going at your pace. I encourage you to bring your own boundaries and guide you with how to improve these if needed. I offer unconditional positive regard; You will leave feeling fully accepted without conditions. This is a non-judgemental environment and client led, there will never be any pressure to be anything other than your authentic self. If touch is too much, we can simply sit with a hot beverage and be in the moment, in the warmth of the environment, snuggled in a fluffy blanket if you wish. I offer 60-minute and 90-minute sessions that could be either short or long term, you are completely in choice. I also offer home visits under special circumstances; This is to ensure touch therapy is available to everyone. 

Touch therapy is holistic in nature, taking into consideration the whole person, physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual. The science behind touch therapy has shown many benefits, including but not limited to, anxiety, stress, depression, physical and emotional pain, immunity, hyperactivity, inattention and many more. We are living in a time where social isolation is at its highest, depression, anxiety, loneliness is on the rise. I offer a free, 30-minute, face to face consultation where you can come check out the environment, discuss how we will work together, and have any of your questions answered with a hot cuppa and a hug.

MEL|Your Embrace Space, Hampshire

Hello, I’m Mel. Due to my affectionate, maternal nature and my interest in mental health, the healing power of touch and platonic intimacy, I decided to become a Cuddle Therapy professional. I have completed courses in mental health and counselling skills and I have a positive outlook on life with a love of meeting new people.  Touch is a basic human need and unfortunately some of us, for whatever reason, just don’t get enough of it. We all want to feel like we belong but we don’t want to diminish authentic selves in order to “fit in”.   I can offer you platonic touch sessions in a safe space, no matter your gender, race, shape, size, sexual orientation or mobility issues. I want to provide an empathetic ear for you to share your worries without judgement, whilst receiving 100% of my attention, affection, compassion and reassuring physical contact. All while practicing consent and respecting personal boundaries. Everyone deserves to be held, nurtured and appreciated for who they truly are. The mental and physical health benefits of which are innumerable. If you’re interested or have questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.

KELLY SHIVANI ROSE | The Awakening Heart, Somerset

Hey, I am Kelly Shivani Rose; a healer, soul guide and cuddle professional. I am devoted to the practice of unconditional love, and I am truly in awe of the healing, the release and the transformation this practice has bought myself and others. One of the ways in which I practice unconditional love is by offering conscious, attentive touch to my clients. During the cuddle sessions I will support you to bring your focus into your body, to listen deeply to your body’s needs and boundaries, and then to gain confidence with expressing them. I hold a loving, safe space for my clients to relax and receive.  The sessions are led by your comfort levels and the touch can be anything from a hand massage, to sitting shoulder to shoulder, to a full body cuddle. Whatever level of touch you require, I will hold you with a warm, loving embrace, exactly as you are and as you need to be.  I have been devoted to my own personal growth for many years now, and I have deeply explored the inner and outer realms from a place of open-heartedness and non-judgement. And it’s for this reason I feel I am very relatable and have insights into the many challenges that people can face. It means I can create and hold a safe space where all parts of you are welcome.  Many people, for various reasons, are considered to be touch-deprived so I am honoured to offer this practice. Attentive touch has been shown to greatly improve physical, mental and emotional well-being, so if you would like to experience it’s benefit then please get in touch.  I am based in Frome, Somerset but I can travel to Bristol or Bath if costs are covered.

SARAH ELIZABETH | Ethical Cuddles, Dorset

I’m Sarah. I practice ethical touch and cuddle therapy in accordance with the Cuddle Professionals International Diploma. I am a warm, open person who believes in the therapeutic power of touch, as has become especially evident in our recent COVID times.
If you are anxious, lonely, sad, bereaved, ill, depressed or just a little low; the hormones released during therapeutic touch can help you to better cope with life, and thrive.  I provide a safe space to listen to how you are or what is going on in your life in a friendly way. We agree which form of touch suits you best, it might just be a resting of arms, rather than proper bear hug. You need to feel comfortable. Each session is bespoke to your needs. Please feel free to contact me for further information.

NANCY | This Moment Matters, Yorkshire and Greater Manchester

Compassionate, platonic touch has always been an important part of my life, though there have been periods where that has seriously been lacking. I have also experienced the profound effect that a sincere and nurturing hug can have on a person - it can be truly transformational.  As well as being a Cuddle Therapist I'm also a Meditation and Laughter Yoga Teacher, and an End of Life Doula. I have a background in hospice work which highlighted the immense need of the physical intimacy of a hand-hold and a hug. It's a wonderful way of showing someone that they are not alone - that they matter. Both compassionate, platonic touch and laughter bring a deep sense of healing and connection.  Whether you prefer platonic touch or a cuddle with chatter or in quiet contemplation is purely a personal choice. Each and every session is tailored to your specific needs.
