So...as you all know, I am at the crossroads between working in Corporate America as an HR professional or just going on my own path to things that I love. Besides beauty school and bar tending, I did some research on cuddle therapy. Most can consider it as "sex work", but I beg to differ. It can be used as a therapeutic healing tool for men and women that suffered from prior abuse, PTSD, or desire companionship through touch without being in a relationship.
Regarding this "career path", it would be great to become a professional (get certified through a variety of sites) and also take on other skills such as massage or Reiki Healing. It will make you more marketable, which leads to more profit. I am currently a PRO at this time and will take more certifications to maintain it.
I had my first client today and I had a good time to be honest. We started off getting acquainted with each other through conversation and drinking tea for about 30 minutes, and then the session began. Even though the hour and a half seemed like a long time, it was enjoyable and I got my $$$'s worth for sure. My client was so shocked when my alarm went off. We did some stretching together and I gave him a big bear hug. He seemed like he enjoyed the session and will possibly book once a month.
Tips for aspiring "therapist":
BE CLEAN
1. Take a bath or shower before going to a clients home. Make sure you are spiritually and physically cleansed before taking on someone else's energy. If you smoke, do not have a cigarette or marijuana until your session is complete. You want to walk in looking and smelling good, not like smoke or warm garbage truck juice. Just saying....
While you are changing into your cuddle outfit, you can use wipes and add body oil before you begin. Make sure the oil is lightweight (another blog for my cuddle faves). And.....wear natural or no makeup. You don't need to be "slayed" to the gods on your first or future sessions. Makeup can get messy, which can affect your clientele.
After you are done with your session, definitely take another bath or shower.
SAFETY FIRST
2. Stay safe! Bring your own water, beverages, etc. You could possibly get drugged by a client. Remember, you do not personally know your clients until you have a repetitive rapport with them. Even then, you still do not know them. Also, practice the battle buddy system. You can text or message a close friend on your whereabouts and they can contact authorities if they do not hear from you after a certain time. Use a special code word if you feel that you are in danger. If your intuition does not feel right regarding the client.....LEAVE!
As for boundaries, you can create an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) regarding the session so the client understands that it's NOT a sexual encounter. You can set verbal rules, but on paper is a lot better. And if the client touches you in a certain spot or asks for a favor that you don't feel comfortable, let him or her know you do not prefer what they are doing or prefer to partake in certain activities. Be kind and respectful at all times. If they are continually being disrespectful to you and your boundaries, you can just leave.
BE YE KIND ONE TO ANOTHER
3. Now this Bible scripture is PERFECT for cuddle clients and yourself. Greet the client with a hug, ask about their day, and ask other questions to make them feel comfortable. Ask if they would like you to wear what you have on or the outfit inside your "cuddle" bag. Try and honor their request regarding the outfit you wear, unless they want you completely naked (I wouldn't prefer that, but it's your choice). I will do another blog on this topic, but cuddling isn't escorting or prostitution, well at least in my book it isn't. *shrugs*
Another way of kindness is to ask what exactly the client wants from you and this experience. You do not want to ever make the mistake of assuming. Before you go into certain positions or touch, ask them if it's acceptable for them.
SET THE MOOD FOR RELAXATION AND THE "EXPERIENCE."
3. Have tea and candles. Offer tea to your clients and have a candle for the session. Don't make the mistake I made by not having your candle wrapped and it breaks in your cuddle bag. I also bring honey and lemon juice for flavor. I can't drink bland tea and don't expect the client too either.
Music also sets the mood. XM Chill any Sade album or Miss Synergy (You Tube) are great for you and the client to relax. There are also other tools on You Tube (relaxing playlists) or your own playlist that you can utilize.
PACK IT UP
4. Prepare a "cuddle" bag.
Supplies you need for your bag:
1. First Aid Kit
2. A set of PJ's, comfy leggings and shirt, or a cute onesie with house shoes/socks
3. Deodorant
4. Hair Tie or Bonnet (Optional)
5. Body Spray
6. Baby/Body Wipes
7. Body Oil
8. Mouthwash & Toothbrush w/toothpaste
9. Chewing Gum
10. Water, juice, or soft drink
11. Candle(s)
12. Timer
13. Phone
14. 1 set of bra and panties
15. 2 Plastic bags
16. Meditation tools (i.e. Yoga mat, singing bowl(s), etc.) *Only bring per clients request.
17. Feminine Care Products (Maxi Pads, Panty liners, or Tampons)
18. Razor and mini shaving cream
If this is a career step or side gig that you want to choose, GO FOR IT! Remember, there is a slice of pie for everyone that wants to put in the work.
