Cuddle Therapy Frequently Asked Questions

Cuddling is a form of touch therapy. Sessions can include hugging, spooning, holding hands, compassionate conversation, or blissful quiet.  It is often used to induce relaxation, relieve stress, and promote  a therapeutic form of wellness. The effects of cuddling may produce a release of oxytocin hormones resulting in better sleep, better mood, tiredness, or indifferent emotional feelings.

Hugging or cuddling for more than 20 seconds can release oxytocin, also known as the hug hormone. It lowers stress and cortisol, increases heart health, decreases inflammation, promotes better sleep, strengthens your immune system, builds trust, and can give you an overall sense of wellness. It’s pretty amazing! 

Once you’ve changed and gotten settled, we can start with a short conversation, and then if you’d like we can guide you through some breathing or relaxation activities to help you settle in. Sessions can be fully guided or co-created based on your preferences. It can include eye-contact, hugging, sharing conversation or quiet, hand-holding, caressing, spooning and lots of other G-rated activities. You can come with your ideas and requests, and our professional cuddlers also have a large repertoire of cuddle positions and activities to offer.  

Each cuddler chooses where they provide services. Some professonal cuddlers host sessions at their own cuddly venue. Sometimes a client and cuddler choose a location convenient to them both. Some cuddlers do “out calls” and travel to the client’s location.  

Those seeking relaxation and self-care, those seeking relief from stress or anxiety, or those working through trauma around touch.  Platonic human touch and emotional well-being is essential for healthy living with today's busy lifestyles. The purpose is to create physical, social, and emotional  oxytocin healing through the transformational benefits awakened by the power of touch. 

 Arousal is a natural response and nothing to be ashamed of. We just recommend that you shift positions and move your attention to bring the experience back to platonic.
