Life can be chaotic and challenging. Some days, you may feel like you’re being pushed and pulled in directions you didn’t realize you mentally and physically could withstand. Other days, you may feel an overwhelming sense of loneliness and isolation. 
  
Helping your body decompress, relax and find peace is what I love to do through healing platonic touch therapy. I am passionate about creating a safe haven where you can begin to align your body and mind in a environment that respects your boundaries and comfort levels.
  
Hello. My name is Tara and I am a Certified Professional Cuddler. I have always had the heart of a servant and helper. For the past 20 years, I have been employed in the medical field, which on a daily basis, allows me to connect, care for and respect the privacy of my patients. In May 2023, I came across a Cuddlist ad on my Facebook feed which peaked my interest. Being recently separated and in the midst of a divorce, I was aching for human connection and touch which I no longer was receiving. Just a simple 20 second hug can boost oxytocin levels, lower blood pressure and reduce anxiety and stress. I had no knowledge or education on the benefits of platonic touch therapy until Cuddlist came into my life. And now I am excited to offer my services as your platonic touch Cuddlist partner. I find joy in helping & lifting others up and showing them they are not forgotten, but are loved and that their life matters.
  
At this point, if you’re still with me and realizing that there is such a service as professional cuddling, you may be asking yourself, “What exactly is professional cuddling & how does it benefit me?” Well, I’m glad you asked.
  
Cuddling is a professional service where a practitioner provides the benefits of healthy, consensual, platonic human connection.
  
Physiological benefits of cuddling include:
  
  lowers blood pressure
  
  increases oxytocin levels
  
  decreases depression & anxiety
  
  boosts the immune system
  
Emotional benefits of cuddling include:
  
  creates a feeling of connection with another person
  
  increases our feeling of safety & belonging
  
  increases our self-image & confidence
  
  improves our outlook and satisfaction with life in general
