Cuddel Therapy
Non-sexual, consent-based touch for emotional comfort and relaxation
Overview
Cuddle Therapy (also known as professional cuddling or platonic touch therapy) is a wellness practice that offers safe, consensual, non-sexual physical touch to support emotional comfort, relaxation, and stress reduction.
Sessions are conducted in a professional, structured environment where clear boundaries, consent, and comfort are established before any physical contact begins. The therapy focuses on human connection through platonic touch, such as sitting side-by-side, hugging, or holding hands, without any sexual intent
Who May Benefit
Cuddle therapy may be suitable for individuals who:
- Feel emotionally isolated or touch-deprived
- Experience stress or anxiety related to loneliness
- Seek safe, non-sexual human connection
- Want relaxation and emotional grounding
Key Benefits
Emotional Comfort
Supportive physical touch has been shown to help reduce feelings of loneliness and emotional distress by promoting a sense of connection and safety.
Stress Reduction
Studies on human touch show that gentle, consensual touch may help lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels and promote relaxation.
Mood Support
Physical touch is associated with the release of oxytocin, a hormone linked to bonding, calmness, and emotional regulation.
Improved Relaxation
Many people report feeling calmer and more relaxed after sessions, which may support better rest and sleep quality.
Nervous System Regulation
Touch can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which plays a role in relaxation and recovery.
