Rediscover the benefits of consenting platonic cuddles by learning or relearning how to take care of yourself; to identify your preferences and boundaries in terms of physical contact and, most importantly, to communicate them.
See below what are the Cuddle therapy Services offered at Calia’s and which one would better suit your needs, capacities and boundaries.
Whether in a One-on-one Cuddle Therapy Session in person, a Virtual Session online or Safe Hugs, it is always with the same intention of well-being for all involved, and closely follows Calia’s Code of Conduct and Guide to Consent.
In the case of Cuddle Therapy Session in person, it should be noted that for issues of consent and security for all, each client must sign the Service Contract thereby agreeing to comply with the terms and conditions of service and Calia’s Code of Conduct including the Guide to Consent. The client is aware that there is a video surveillance system and agrees that the session is filmed. These measures serve only to ensure the safety of all involved. Calia Cuddle therapy ensures the confidentiality of personal information and recording of its clients.
In order to allow the resumption of in-person services, Calia has implemented several sanitary measures (that clients must apply under penalty of expulsion) in order to limit the spread of COVID-19. Despite such measures, by booking a Session at Calia, you admit to being aware of the possible risks of contamination.
