Chinello

Head. Heart. Hands.

The purpose of life is to serve. My name is Chinello Ifebigh. I am a Cuddlist® trained professional cuddler in the greater Amsterdam area of The Netherlands, Europe.  I am a bodywork guide and an intimacy facilitator.  I am the founder of the Client Nurturing Method®, a method whose singular objective is simply to be a fully present, loving, and compassionate human being with integrity, for a fellow human. This all means that I am a practitioner who uses touch and talk in my work while harnessing the universal power of love. I have an extensive background training in transpersonal psychology and counseling particularly in the fields of intimacy, sexuality, boundaries, and consent. I am a student of and have trained with Weisfeld and numerous others.

According to the elderly members of my family, I had announced at  the age of 3 to everyone that when I grew up, I was going to cuddle people. Prior to becoming a professional cuddler, I had always had a complicated relationship with touch; suffice to say that this complication has contributed to my being trauma informed.

Touch has always been my way of getting acquainted with the world around me, learning the distinction between safe and unsafe. Having grown up in the tropics, I contracted a severe and deadly typhoid infection at the age of 15 which nearly cost me my life. During this period a number of children died of this illness. Due to a lack of medication, complications and adequate healthcare, my chances of survival were basically non-existent. As I lay dying, a kind young woman cradled me in her arms everyday and rocked and sang softly in her native language for about 8 weeks. I am convinced that I lived because of the power of her loving touch.

To share consensual touch  with another person while mutually acknowledging and respecting personal boundaries is an act of love and healing. I have been referred to as a Human Sanctuary: A person who provides a safe container for another person to explore vulnerability, enjoy consensual platonic touch and to experience a heartfelt genuine connection and an unconditional positive regard.

If you need  a shoulder to lean on, loving arms around you, or a place where you can safely cry, laugh, scream, talk, and cuddle for the pleasure of human connection; I  would be honored to be that person for you.
