High Country Cuddle Therapy

Being held is the first form of care and love that a human experiences. It is absolutely vital and necessary to our emotional, mental and physical health.
It is as vital as sun light, water and food. Yet, we live in a touch-deprived culture...

One of my favorite cuddle positions!
This weeks cuddle position is Mama Bear.
The Mama Bear sits with their back supported with their legs out and invites their cuddle partner (the Baby Bear) to sit in front of them.
The Baby Bear can lean back and rest their head on the Mama Bears chest. From here, the Mama Bear can put their arms around their cuddle partner for an awesome bear hug.
PRO TIP: Mama Bear and Baby Bear can wrap their legs around with other for more physical connection and touch.

I Spent My Life Consenting to Touch I Didn’t Want A year of isolation made me consider all the casual, unwanted touch women endure — and why it’s so hard to refuse it.

Men’s cuddling group aims to redefine masculinity and heal trauma The two-year-old group draws men from various backgrounds: a 37-year-old Mormon who works as an airport gate agent, a 57-year-old married father of three, a 62-year-old retiree.
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."
