Do you long for physical closeness, security, relaxation, and deep connection?
Our modern lifestyle increasingly leads to a lack of touch. Lack of touch is an increasingly widespread phenomenon, as fewer and fewer people are firmly integrated into a supportive family structure or a large circle of friends. When we are no longer touched, eventually nothing touches us anymore.
"We need four hugs a day to survive, eight hugs a day to feel good, and twelve hugs a day to grow inwardly. " Virginia Satir
I believe that physical touch goes hand in hand with inner touch, because I am convinced that body, mind, and soul form a unity. Scientifically based findings classify the need for physical closeness as just as important for a balanced psycho-emotional life as eating, drinking, or sleeping.
Cuddle therapy in Berlin | Feel seen, secure, and empowered.
Cuddling warms you from the inside, nourishes you, is a proven anti-stress remedy, and boosts your self-confidence and zest for life. Being cuddled is pure self-love. You don't have to meet any expectations or do anything—just receive. You can forget your everyday worries, feel welcome just as you are, and enjoy yourself completely.
Cuddling is healthy selfishness. You can receive exactly the touch you desire. You get my undivided attention unconditionally and without judgment. I accept you as you are, regardless of your life situation and lifestyle, as well as your identity and orientation. Our conscious encounter invites you to open up and let yourself fall completely into my warm arms. You can feel held and trust. In this safe space, emotions can be released and you are allowed to feel them.
Cuddle therapy combines mindful, unconditional touch with emotional openness, touching on all levels and thus creating a healing space. It addresses two needs—the need for mindful touch and the need for recognition (to be seen and heard). It can simply provide peace and security and be very comforting—then we are completely passive, can relax and recharge for everyday life, receive and enjoy.
Beyond nourishing these needs, cuddle therapy can also include body therapy. Here you can learn to truly receive and enjoy completely. It can empower you to perceive and communicate your needs, boundaries, and desires. In this way, it also lays an important foundation for self-responsibility. Through cuddling, we approach deeper issues and problems in the body and gently support their healing.

I am empathetic and attentive to you, your needs, and your desires. Here you can forget your everyday worries and relax deeply in a safe environment. You can completely let go, you don't have to do anything or live up to any supposed expectations. You can show your authentic self and your whole being just as you are. In doing so, you will experience complete acceptance through my loving attention. You will be seen and held by me. Emotions are allowed to flow freely. In this cuddle therapy, you can forget the outside world and simply enjoy the moment for yourself.

Mental health
Cuddling nourishes your natural need for touch. Physical closeness gives you a sense of security, inner peace, and joy. It gives you a lot of self-confidence, energy, and optimism. Your body awareness is strengthened and you can better accept and love yourself and others. This can result in:
You feel less lonely or depressed.
Anxieties are reduced.
Higher self-confidence and resilience (e.g., learning to say no or to allow touch in the first place).
Revitalized interpersonal relationships and generally increased ability to form bonds.
Physical health
Touch causes the body to release oxytocin, the so-called cuddle hormone, and reduces the stress hormone cortisol. Mindful touch puts us in a deep state of relaxation that gives us feelings of security, belonging, and (primordial) trust. Thus, cuddling can bring about amazing positive changes:
Transformation of stress into relaxation
Strengthening of the immune system, thereby stimulating regeneration and healing
Relief of pain on both a physical and emotional level
The cardiovascular system becomes more resilient
Lowering of blood pressure
Improvement in sleep quality
