Have we, as people, gotten so used to disconnection that we fear remembering? Connection with a Cuddlist can be the same. We work up. You’ll then notice that there can be connection in more places, not just inside a session. But we can help you remember. Learn more at Cuddlist.com

DH: wanna play a board game you’ve never played before? (I don’t play many board games. My son is visiting and that’s the only time I generally play and I hate learning new games.) Me: *totally confused look on my face* 🙄 Why would you ask me to play a game I don’t already know?! 😳🫣

What this looks like with clients: • Naming feelings: “Right now I feel…” • Making clear requests: “I would like…” • Setting limits: “No, not right now,” or “Yes, with this change…” • Celebrating wins: “I did that. My body can do that.” HumanConnectionLab.com

On this Labor Day I’m reflecting on the work I GET to do, & how much of a gift it is. To my past, present, & future clients: thank you for trusting me, for taking a chance on something new, & for letting me love you. Your impact on me is just as deep as mine is on you, and I’m so grateful. 💜

Real moment: sharing with my housekeeper that Dax is kept a little doped up because he’s super tressed with cognitive decline… and I notice overwhelm start to roll in. I stop and notice and let it pass rather than running with it, letting it grow. I’ve really gotten better at regulation. 💜

Exciting news! I’ve been featured on Building Her Dream, a platform that highlights the inspiring journeys of introverted women like me who are creating life and business on our own terms. buildingherdream.com/meet-michell...

I love this work! I’m so honored to be a part of my clients’ healing journeys. 🥰 Same client. All started in a Cuddlist session. Continued to where the client needed the work to go. Collaborating therapist was essential. Reach out: [email protected].

Out for a Pride burlesque show with the “fam” tonight… when I posed the question at intermission: “How gay are you today?! 👀” The unanimous response was, “Pretty gay!” 🏳️‍🌈 🙌🏻 I need more drag kings in my life! (And more boy-lesque!)

Humanconnectionlab.com - Scheduling sessions for July 29th in Santa Monica

Brian Gibney and I have this little group called Intimacy Professionals that meets online to support touch workers, educators, therapists, and researchers and we just hit 350 on our mailing list! (Our weekly Zoom calls usually have 10-20.) For a grass roots community, I’m pretty impressed. 🥳

I navigated trains from San Diego to Santa Monica today! 🙌🏻 For someone who spent the 1st 40 in small town Michigan, it always feels like an accomplishment. Yay, me!

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

So exciting to get a shout-out from @cuddlist.bsky.social! 😁

"It’s hard to ignore the existential crisis that is ongoing in a lot of our lives... In a world of distance and digital loneliness, the professional cuddler is there to give you what society sometimes can’t: connection to another human being." Read whole article: www.thepitchkc.com/snuggle-sesh...
