Are you feeling the excitement yet, because we certainly are. 🎉

Tickets for the 2026 DC Cuddle Conference are officially live, and it feels so good to finally say that out loud.

This gathering has been a long time in the making and built with so much care, intention, and hope for what our community can become when we’re in the same room together. I truly can’t wait to connect, learn, laugh, and share space with all of you.

Let’s make this one special.

Safe, consensual touch has been shown to lower cortisol, increase oxytocin, regulate the nervous system, and reduce feelings of isolation.

When we talk about connection, we’re talking about brain chemistry, immune response, and emotional regulation.

Your body was designed for safe, caring contact.

Feelings can show up in cuddle sessions, and boundaries and communication are how we keep everybody safe.

Great ideas for staying safe as a practitioner in private cuddle practice. Thank you everyone for your phenomenal suggestions. Love them!

I should explain that it wasn't a "school shooting" as people typically refer to mass shooting. One teenager was mad at another.

It's horrible what happened and how it's impacted our community.

We need more cuddle therapists out here.

Some people can be so resistant, but as soon as they give in, everything changes.

This is what my Saturdays sometimes look like.
Presence, affection, and a whole lot of care.

This is a beautiful description shared with me, from a client, of what Platonic Touch & Human Connection does for them. After our session they said...

"...time has literally seemed to slow down..."

When I asked them to elaborate they said...

"It's hard to describe but as much as I've tried to ignore it this year, my need for connection is always there. Sort of like the purpose of a battery is to close an electrical circuit and to release it's latent energy. Being able to 'let go' and connect with you during the session is both grounding and validating of my deep seated need to communicate, empathize and to share a caring touch. When I mentioned that it felt as though time slowed down, it is like when a fallen tree across a stream is pulled aside, letting the pent up water rush past and then quickly return to its usual quiet and gentle current."

We, as human beings, are social creatures. We need to engage with other people and feel touch and know that we are apart of the group/ tribe/ family. That is how we survived millions of years.☆

Always shared with consent.

Somewhere along the way we decided human connection is “weird,” but chronic loneliness is fine. No sale!

I completely understand why people think touch is spicy, shady or suspicious.

However, if you stop and think about it, it’s biological. It’s nervous system regulation. It’s basic human maintenance.

I’ll keep showing up, setting boundaries, explaining consent, and advocating for safe, professional, non-sexual touch like it’s my full-time personality, ummm because it kind of is.

If your nervous system could use less explaining and more holding, you know where to find me.

As platonic touch practitioners, our role is to understanding and respect the need for human connection.

We are trained to be empathetic and learn to navigate non-verbal communication and consent, making sure every interaction is safe, respectful and nurturing.

We recognize the power of touch as a human need, creating a safe space where warmth and companionship can grow.

With regular self-care and professional guidance to sustain our emotional resilience, it allows us to be wholly present and supportive for you.

You're not expected to go it alone or suppress your need for connection.

We're here to share and lighten that load with you.

Your role is simply to allow yourself to experience the healing enjoy of affectionate, touch, and human connection will take care of the rest.
