In this episode, I share a dialogue I had with Shayla D. Tumbling several months ago. Shayla is the co-creator of CuddleSage, a professional platonic cuddler, a mental health therapist, a sexuality & emotional empowerment coach, and a healing facilitator. Her work is empowerment-based, holistic, sex-positive, compassion-centered, and trauma-informed. You guessed right! Touch is one of my love languages.
Shayla is here to talk with us about the missing piece in therapeutic landscapes- Touch! we dive deep into the science of touch, the effects of touch on our brain, cuddle basics, and the business of cuddling.
