High Country Cuddle Therapy

Lost touch: how a year without hugs affects our mental health Humans are designed to touch and be touched – which is why so many who live on their own have suffered during the pandemic. Will we ever fully recover?

The Life of the Skin-Hungry: Can You Go Crazy from a Lack Of Touch? As we live in an increasingly technology-focussed, socially disconnected world, we're touching each other much less than before. But what does an absence of touch do to a person?

Just received this sweet review from an elderly Cuddle Therapy client ~ Oh, how I love holding this healing space for others!

~~~~~~~~~

"It seems all humans need touch to be emotionally healthy. I’ve long believed that older folks living in a nursing home would feel better and live longer if they received a massage regularly. But what if they could have extended hugs or hold hands with someone for 30 minutes or lie side-by-side in snuggle positions?

Iona is so comforting in giving massages that both my body and my spirit were rejuvenated each time she provided her loving touch. I wondered what my spirit and my emotional state would be following periods of hugging. The results were greater and lasted longer than the after-glow of a massage. If you want a massage for your soul and your spirit, Iona can give you that through her Cuddle Therapy. You will be rejuvenated for weeks. The comfort is exhilarating and will have you smiling to yourself frequently thereafter."
