One of the great tragedies of this time is how starved most of us are for human contact and touch. Our society has convinced us that the only way to have this basic need met is through sexual intimacy.

This is absolutely not true! And has unfortunately kept most of us depleted and depressed without it, while we strive to find partnership that we hope will fulfill us.

I have always been a snuggle bug, and have loved hugs, sitting close, and holding hands.. but it wasn’t until I started to dance in a community of friends whose culture centered platonic cuddling that I found how desperate I had been in my lack. As my needs for touch were met I saw the desperation I had had to find partnership wane. I found my overall well-being lifted. I noticed my nervous system was regulated more often and I had much more capacity for joy and connection on a day-to-day basis. My connection to and love for my own body skyrocketed.

Over the next few years, I integrated a deep understanding of platonic touch. I discovered where the hidden propaganda of our culture lived in my body saying, “This type of pleasure is only allowed in sexual relationship!” I rewired my body and mind to invite platonic touch, pleasure, and connection to nourish me.

Now, I see this as a gift to share. I’m here to snuggle you up, so you can fill your cup, regulate your nervous system and relax, then go on with your day.
