Cuddle Therapy
Cuddle therapy fills a niche that is complementary to traditional talk therapy.
In the traditional mental health profession, therapists can do a lot of great work but cannot touch clients, and touch is a core human need.
It releases oxytocin and it also facilitates the development of authentic connection and the type of secure attachment that some people may have never had in its fullness. It can really provide a base for health and wellness and happiness.
Is your inner child secretly craving for touch or your need to be touched is not being met?
Make a booking for our professional cuddle therapy session today. Kindly note that this is an ethically guided non-sexual session.
