Platonic Touch/ Cuddle Therapy

Service Description

This service can help in the process of feelings of loneliness, wanting to heal from trauma by having a reparative/corrective experience, wanting to be held, practicing social skills through platonic touch, exploring who you are, or needing sensory comfort that is safe, clothed, and consensual. Platonic touch therapy, also known as Cuddle Therapy, is a therapeutic modality that offers touch that is consensual, boundaries-based, and nurturing. This allows me to be a part of someone's healing journey/co-regulating presence. I welcome working with mental health therapists (triadic model). Healing is done in community, not isolation. Benefits: Calms nervous system, increases connection, produces oxytocin (bonding hormone), dopamine (reward chemical), serotonin (natural mood stabilizer), education on consent and healthy boundary setting, trauma recovery, reduces lonliness, combats "touch deprivation" or "skin hunger."

When you arrive for your session, I will greet you and we will go over personal agreements like the Code of Conduct.
