Cuddling releases feel-good brain chemicals that create a sense of love and security. The release of oxytocin, often called “the love hormone,” has real benefits for heart health, lowering blood pressure, and reducing stress and anxiety.
Psychologist and author Virginia Satir famously said, “We need 4 hugs a day for survival, 8 hugs a day for maintenance, and 12 hugs a day for growth.” When was the last time you had a truly fulfilling hug? If it’s been a while, you’re not alone. Touch deprivation and isolation are prevalent in our culture, and many of us don’t get our need for touch met, whether single or in a relationship.
In fact, being in a relationship doesn’t guarantee the nurturing touch you need, as relationships can be complicated and often come with their own anxieties.
In today’s world, many of our connections are maintained through text, social media, or email. But where’s the heart-to-heart connection? Where is the human touch?
Just like scheduling a massage, you can book a private conscious cuddle session or join a monthly cuddle party to experience healthy, nurturing, and meaningful touch. Cuddle sessions offer an organic process of giving and receiving, including hugs, spooning, hand-holding, hair play, gentle caresses, tenderness, and kindness.
In these sessions, you’ll also develop skills in authentic communication: asking for what you want, saying yes or no without apology, and learning to honor your true needs and desires. You’ll cultivate a sense of freedom and authenticity that can bring more joy and ease into your life.
Discover a safe space where you can relax, let go, and be your true self, fully embraced just as you are.
A cuddle session introduces you to the essentials of authentic communication, consent, and boundary-setting—skills that are truly foundational for building genuine connections with others.
