Human Connection
Platonic touch therapy, also known as Cuddle Therapy, is a therapeutic modality that offers platonic touch that is consensual, boundaries-based, nurturing, and clothed. I am Cuddlist trained.
While some other healing modalities, are a one-way street, this touch therapy is reciprocal and client-led. I welcome working alongside psychotherapists using the triadic model (client+therapist+platonic touch practitioner) to help support in someone's healing or growth journey.
I started violence prevention work and consent/boundaries education after healing from abuse. I saw how safe touch can help someone heal, not just as a concept learned individually but in an embodied and human sense. I stay aligned to my purpose and am courageous despite misconceptions. I would like to offer touch that is caring, intentional, and warm-hearted so people can feel connected to their bodies. Sometimes it's not about having perfect words, but rather about feeling human connection and presence.
