Coffee & Connection

What is Coffee & Connection?

Coffee & Connection is a simple, heart-warming way to bring more comfort and human connection into everyday life.
Once a week, I settle into a cosy local café and offer free, consensual hugs to anyone who’d like one, or simply a friendly chat over coffee.

It’s not a full cuddle therapy session, just a small, gentle invitation to pause, connect, and share a moment of kindness in a public, welcoming space.

Every hug, every smile, and every conversation adds to a ripple of warmth that reminds us we’re not alone.

For Visitors

If you spot the Coffee & Connection sign at a café, you’re warmly invited to come say hello.
You’re welcome to:

Enjoy your drink and a friendly chat,

Ask for a brief hug (always within clear boundaries and full consent), or

Simply smile and enjoy the comforting atmosphere it creates.

There’s no pressure and no expectation - just a chance to experience a little human warmth in your day.

For Cafés & Community Spaces

Coffee & Connection is a lovely way to add a unique, feel-good experience to your venue.
It brings new visitors, fosters community spirit, and fills your space with the gentle, uplifting energy that only human connection can create.

I bring everything needed, a small sign, information about what I do, and gentle promotion on social media (tagging and crediting your café).
All I need is a comfy seat for a couple of hours and your support in helping spread the word.

If you’re interested in hosting Coffee & Connection or partnering on a community wellbeing event, I’d love to chat.
Together, we can bring more comfort, care, and connection into your local community - one hug at a time.
