About Conscious Connected Touch

I'm Samii, a certified professional cuddler, trained and accredited through the Cuddle Professionals International. I'm also a Reiki Master Teacher and am fully insured for both.

My aims are:

• To educate and raise awareness about the global issue of touch deprivation and its impact on our health and well-being.

• To promote platonic conscious touch and cuddling as therapeutic modalities, emphasising the importance of consent and boundaries.

• To destigmatise the shame and guilt associated with needing or wanting touch, and to teach that touch can be non-sexual and healthy.

• To work with outreach groups to support our most vulnerable and in need members of community.

I do this by offering:

• 1-2-1 cuddle sessions

• Community cuddle puddles

• Reiki

• Touch, consent and boundaries Workshops

Cuddle therapy is a physical touch-based therapy that reduces cortisol (stress) levels and boosts oxytocin and serotonin (happy hormones).

Sessions are platonic, consensual, fully clothed, and provide emotional, spiritual, and physical support.

Each session is tailored to the client’s needs and can involve hand holding, cuddling, talking, eye gazing, or sitting shoulder to shoulder.

The therapy follows a clear code of conduct, ensuring mutual respect for boundaries and consent.

Building trust is key, with the aim to create a safe and comfortable environment for healing and well-being.

Before sessions, a video call and signed consent forms are required from all clients.

No two sessions are the same as they are led by the client's preferences and intentions.

Cuddle Therapy

Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing method that channels universal life force energy .

As a Reiki Master I channel this energy through your energy field and Chakras to bring balance and promote healing.

Blocked or misaligned chakras can cause unbalanced energy, leading to anxiety, discomfort, or physical conditions.

Reiki helps to restore the natural flow of energy, promoting healing for the highest good of the recipient.

Sessions are typically done with the client lying down, fully clothed, though seated options are available for comfort.

Gentle ambient music is played during the session to create a relaxing atmosphere.

I use light touch or hands slightly above the body to channel the energy and restore balance.

After the session, there’s time to discuss any sensations or experiences, leaving you feeling calm, relaxed, and centred.

Cuddle puddle events offer a safe, non-sexual space for individuals to experience nurturing touch and connection with others.

These gatherings foster an environment free from discrimination and judgment, allowing participants to feel seen and vulnerable.

The first half of the session involves setting boundaries, establishing a code of conduct, and practicing communication around touch, boundaries, and consent.

After a break, participants engage in a shake-out and playful activities to loosen up.

The second half includes learning about the healing power of 20-second hugs and how intention impacts touch and connection.

The event culminates in a 50-minute group cuddle with a soothing soundtrack, offering a soul-nourishing experience.

The session concludes with debriefing, reflection, and farewell hugs, leaving participants feeling connected and supported.

Cuddle Puddles

“I attended a cuddle puddle event. The space was held with such love and respect for boundaries. Such a beautiful energy created with kindness and joy.”
