How long can people go without human contact before going insane
Come get a snuggle today!
One thing I had asked her to help me with when first contacting her was with some stretching and yoga exercises. Her background in ring gymnastics led her to remind me to flex my hip more with some pressure she applied. It definitely helped my tight muscles. She even gave me a massage with tennis balls and a hand roller. I was ready to melt in her arms at that point. That was surely a cool warm up.
In order to present as safe container and overall feeling, we went over the rules because it was my intention to fully respect this woman and her boundaries. And for the next few hours we snuggled and cuddled close like being tied in a knot, it was such a warm, intimate and calming feeling; one that I have been missing in my single life.
When it was time to go – and I didn’t want it to – it was just clearly evident to me that Melanie simply enjoys being available for this basic type of human touch connection for those who are missing it in their life. Thank you sooo much Melanie and I cannot wait to snuggle with you again.”
Your directions and photos were quite clear and helpful. I should have asked via email ahead of time about restrooms on premises or nearby and Ron was good enough to direct me. “
“I think it is important that I share about my time working with Snuggle Salon. If you are looking for an experience that will help you grow as a person really consider investing in yourself with a professional cuddle session. Having been on both sides of the experience – both being snuggled and as a professional snuggler, I have learned a lot about myself and how I choose to connect with other people. You will experience boundary sensitivity and experiment with platonic intimacy. You will experience touch without the pressure of having to “make it happen”. Your snuggle partner cares about you. They want you to have a productive and organic experience.
Snuggle Partners are not ordinary employees. It takes something very special to share your time with someone in this way. Don’t expect everything to be perfect because every time will be new and different. Be prepared to meet parts of yourself you didn’t know existed. Yvonne is the Goddess of the Snuggles. Trust her to guide you gently through a new way of seeing the world.”

It’s amazing how something so simple can be so profound. Someone to hold your hand and listen to you, ACTUALLY being present and holding a space for healing. Wow, imagine that?! No electronic devices to distract us, just old-fashioned conversation and a shoulder to rest your head on. I suppose I should be clear; Zoey is a treasure and her heart is for serving humanity. She’s a 1-in-a-million type of person, with a “grandma’s soul” – exactly what I needed.
My late grandma raised me and my prayers for healing were answered. I trusted my intuition and set up a session, my experience was a lifetime memory I’ll never forget. Best investment ever. The effects of the calm, safety and feeling of connection lasted for days after my session. Not to mention, I can always retrieve the memory at any time – like recalling when your mom or dad comforted you in your time of distress.
Thank you, Yvonne, for providing a professional, safe, and courteous service.. and, thank you, Zoey, for being an essential component in my healing process. Everything was top-notch and I can’t say enough about the value you provided me.
With love and gratitude,
Matthew David Hurtado”
“Haven was very easy to talk to. She made me feel at ease and paid attention to my requests. I look forward to a future session.”
“Haven is such a sweet, affectionate person. She wears her heart on her sleeve and you will immediately notice how caring she is. Our cuddle time just flew by. Do yourself a favor and schedule a session with her!”
I thoroughly appreciated our time together-it was everything I needed and more. I felt as one with you and the world and that we connected on a spiritual level. I was able to allow my stress, life challenges and negative thoughts drift away so that more of the beauty within me could emerge. It is my impulse to send out positive energy-it was refreshing to be the receiver.
I may have come to you starving and in desperate need for unconditional positive regard and nurturing. We, in the counseling field, need to practice the self care we recommend to our clients. Though I feel I do well in this area, the world often gets cold and overwhelming. Touch, outside of a personal relationship, has become misunderstood, stigmatized and abused in many arenas. We humans need to feel safe and valued in order to thrive. I felt that with you and cannot thank you enough for helping me truly relax.
Thank you for receiving me and my positive energy. I will see you again. Until then, be ever wonderful. LT”

“I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed and got out of my session with Andy on Sunday. Of course, I was nervous, even though I had been to one Cuddle Party in the past, and have attended several personal growth workshops over the years. Once I got past the initial nerves, I found Andy’s calm and confident manner soothing.
Here are the parts I found most valuable:
• being able to take things at my own pace,
• feeling completely comfortable,
• having the freedom of movement, privacy and the familiarity of being in my own home,
• hearing how Andy got drawn to this work and his dedication to it,
• having him say that he could help my sore back,
• knowing that he loves cats,
• being able to spoon together, and even being able to lay on top of him.
On this last point, the fact that I started with a bit of a sore back let us explore the possibility of his working out some of the kinks in a very nonthreatening and gentle mini massage of that area. We commented on how he might be able to incorporate that into future sessions, and I encouraged him, especially because that is acceptable avenue to physical touch for many people, including myself to get them over any initial nervousness. We even incorporated some aspects of Reiki and polarity work. Andy has a natural gift for this sort of energy work, and what more beautiful way than to do it in such close contact with another human being? It felt like all kinds of endorphins were released, more than in any traditional massage, although of course, the individual needs to be welcoming the integration of both aspects.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I feel certain I will schedule another session in the future and to have profound thanks to you and Andy for providing this healing work for our community and the planet.”
