Therapeutic Connection
Not everyone has access to, or is comfortable requesting caring, platonic touch (such as a hug, holding of hands, or a shoulder to lay one's head etc.) from those in their lives.
Professional platonic touch therapy, or cuddle therapy, is a therapeutic and wellness-based modality.
It is centered around providing access to safe, nurturing touch, within a consensual and boundaried (strictly-platonic) container.

Reconnecting to yourself & others
It takes courage to seek connection.
Provided here is a safe, nurturing space to be oneself, share authentically and be listened to with compassion and humanity.
Physical contact is never mandatory;
being present with, and witnessed without judgment can be healing in itself.
Platonic touch therapy (cuddle therapy) is client-led: contact can be requested by the client when/if/how, feels most supportive, within this professionally-held, empathetic container.
Together, this is navigated
through open communication, consent-boundaries education
and agreeing of a code of conduct.
