Frequently asked questions
What does a cuddle session involve?
Who are your clients?
• Social anxiety
• Depression
• Grief
• PTSD
• Loneliness
• Neurogenerative diseases
How long does a session last?
We typically provide one hour or two hour long sessions.
How does payment work?
We accept both cash and online payment. Please speak to your practitioner during the consultation process to organise payment.
Where are sessions held?
Sessions can take place in a therapy studio or at the residence of the client. Please visit the practitioner page to see the location where each practitioner provides sessions and you can then book accordingly.
What do I wear?
T-shirts and sweatpants, or yoga clothing are all perfectly suitable. Please wear clothes that are scent-free and conducive for cuddling.
Is it really non-sexual?
Yes it is! Our sessions are completely platonic (non-romantic and non-sexual) – think of the nurturing and comforting relationship between a mother and her child.
What if I get aroused?
This is no big issue. We understand that our bodies react in different ways. We’ll make adjustments to the positioning so that it doesn’t take away focus from the caring nature of the session. We trust you to help keep the space non-sexual, and to ensure that any possible arousal isn’t stoked in any way.
How do I book a session?
Please visit our practitioners’ page and select the practitioner you would like to book a session with. You’ll then be taken to the booking page, where you can select the duration and location of the session, as well as the date and time you’d like the session to take place. Please ensure that your session is booked for at least 24 hours in advance, to give the practitioner enough time to arrange the consultation process.
What are the benefits of cuddling?
Can cuddle therapy help with serious mental health issues?
People with serious mental health issues occasionally come for cuddle sessions with the unrealistic expectation that sessions will cure or alleviate these issues. People with unstable interpersonal relationships and a history of various treatments may not fully benefit from cuddle sessions. Our practitioners are touch therapists and therefore don't hold psychiatric training which may be of greater benefit to some people. While cuddle therapy can be beneficial for many people, it is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric treatment and we don’t recommend it for people with serious psychiatric disorders.
If I make an enquiry and my practitioner isn’t available, what should I do?
If you make an enquiry and your preferred practitioner isn’t available, you can either try reschedule with them for a different time and date. Alternatively if you’d rather book a session for that specific date and time, you can make an enquiry with a different practitioner.
Please note that our practitioners are all self-employed and we don’t manage their calendars and as such we can’t advise on their availability.
