Cuddle Therapy Mentorship
Learn how to safely navigate the cuddle world, earn money while making a difference, and be part of the growing field of somatic therapies.
Turn Compassionate Touch Into a Paid Practice
Is This You?
Do you deeply love helping other people feel seen?
Want to use safe, platonic touch to soothe clients and bring peace?
Are you a naturally empathetic or compassionate person?
Are you looking for a meaningful way to make a tangible difference?
Safe, non-sexual, consensual touch fills a need that’s badly neglected in our society. Cuddling relaxes us and reduces stress at the very least, and on a deeper level it nourishes our soul and satiates our need for healthy human connection.. Much like yoga and meditation, non-sexual touch is healing and transformative.
Cuddle Therapy is more than giving hugs and snuggles—it requires empathy and compassion and requires setting boundaries and adhering to the client’s needs. As a Cuddle Me Close cuddle practitioner, you get to learn and practice a variety of skills.

Testimonials from Previous Program Participants
“This was such an amazing experience!!! thank you so much for having this safe space to explore all the ins and outs of cuddling!!”
“I chose to work with Amanda for her professionalism and experience in the industry. She brings passion to the industry, really wanting to make a difference in her client’s life...
Some of the results I got from taking the course are a far greater understanding as being a practitioner, touching on all topics. From hosting, getting your first client, safety, and the support after the course is completed.
You will not regret taking this course. Even if you’re looking to get a better understanding of the cuddle industry and what’s involved. It will open your eyes to platonic affection, how sessions are conducted and boundaries, just to name a few. It was very eye-opening and enlightening.”

Why this program?
Cuddle Me Close not only offers you expert support in a small group setting, but you’ll get individualized WhatsApp messenger support to ask questions, and receive support in-between sessions. This will help address challenges and situations that arise in the moment rather than having to figure it out alone. When I started out, I didn't have anyone to mentor me. You'll be benefiting from my systems and hard-earned knowledge on what it takes to run a successful and fun practice. You will learn all the tips and tricks and down-to-earth advice that other programs don't offer.
Cuddle Community - I have access to different people in the Cuddle community and can plug you into the different events, resources, and Cuddle Parties, both local and worldwide that will support you in getting experience and offer various ways to market your business.
Completing the course gives you access to our private Cuddle Me Close Facebook alumni community, where you can connect with fellow graduates, share insights, and receive ongoing support.
Becoming a Cuddle Practitioner has been so meaningful and has enriched my life so much. I can’t wait to see what kinds of blessings unfold for you as you explore this path.
