Cuddle Therapy

In today’s digital age, we’re more connected than ever, yet many still feel isolated and crave human touch. Cuddle therapy offers a chance to reconnect, providing the calming benefits of platonic touch. It can reduce stress, ease anxiety, and boost your immune system. Cuddle therapy offers a safe, supportive space where you can receive affection in a way that helps reduce stress and anxiety, all while respecting boundaries and consent.

If you're interested in a platonic cuddle session, reach out to me at dragonflyhealingservices@outlook.com.

I’m based in Canberra and provide mobile sessions on the North-Side only.

********* Please Read Important *****

The services I offer are strictly platonic in nature, designed for individuals who may be experiencing a lack of physical connection, loneliness, or simply need someone to listen and provide comfort.

Any requests that go beyond a platonic nature will not be accepted, and individuals seeking more than what is offered here will need to look for other services.

How does this service work?

An initial phone call for cuddle therapy is basically a chance for you and the therapist to get to know each other and make sure you feel comfortable. Here's what usually happens:

Boundaries and Consent You'll talk about what you're comfortable with physically and emotionally. The therapist will go over the importance of clear consent and respecting your boundaries.
I will ask , why are you interested in a cuddle therapy session? what are your expectations of the session? Do you have any preferences ?
Questions: You can ask any questions or share any concerns you have before the session.

The phone call is there to make sure you're both on the same page and that you feel comfortable moving forward with the session.

Here’s what typically happens in a cuddle therapy session:

Every cuddle session is unique depending on each individual and their preferences that aligns with the terms and conditions

Arrival and Introduction: I will come to your home, hotel, or aged care facility. I will bring a sheet to cover the lounge or mattress, pillow, large teddy bear ( if requested). i

Discussion of Boundaries: Go over boundaries, preferences, and comfort levels you have.

Consent: Ongoing consent is discussed, ensuring you’re comfortable with each part of the session.

Starting : We can start the session, by taking a few deep breaths together. I will than ask you how you would like to connect, either through platonic touch or non-touch.

Cuddling: The session involves platonic physical touch, like hugging, holding hands, or lying close together, depending on your preferences. Non platonic touch, can include: playing a G rated game or watching a G or PGR movie, I can also listen if you like to speak about anything. However, I am unable to give advice or guidance as I am not a counsellor.

Ending the Session: When its 5-10 more minutes until the session ends, I will ask , how you would like to finish the session, which can be trying a new platonic cuddle position.

The overall goal is to create a relaxing, safe, and comforting experience focused on emotional connection through platonic touch.
