It&#8217;s consent. It is knowing and trusting that the other person is enjoying it as much as we do. It is trusting that if there is any discomfort (physical or emotional), the other will tell us so; that, as long as nobody says anything, it means that everyone is comfortable and happy to be there, in this contact. It is having enough confidence in the transparency of the other to feel able to ask for everything we want; knowing that if the other is not comfortable or able to satisfy us with all their heart, they will simply say no and offer us something else, a compromise that could be nice for both. It is to understand that if the other person has said no to our request, it is not a no to ourselves, but only a no to the requested touch and that a no is vastly preferable to a forced, &#8220;fake&#8221; and uncomfortable touch. It is knowing that we have the right to say no. That if they offer us or ask us something that we do not like, we have the right to say no without them feeling rejected. It&#8217;s knowing that we have the right to change our mind. That if we said yes to something and that 3 seconds later, we realize that we do not like it, we can change our minds and ask for something else, even if we have just said yes. <em>For a cuddle to be magical, each person must be comfortable and consenting at every moment<\/em>.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"frwsa rowpm rowprof anti-colfull\">\n<div class=\"rowc618 cellprof prof prof1\">\n<span class=\"anchor\" id=\"alie\"><\/span>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:left;\">Alie Val\u00e9rie H\u00e9bert-Gentile<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"902\" height=\"1202\" data-attachment-id=\"2115\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/caliact.com\/en\/calia-cuddletherapy-sessions\/alie_calia-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/caliact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Alie_Calia.jpg?fit=902%2C1202&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"902,1202\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Alie_Calia\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/caliact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Alie_Calia.jpg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft box boximg boxw prof wp-image-2115\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/caliact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Alie_Calia.jpg?resize=902%2C1202&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Alie Val\u00e9rie\" style=\"max-width:30%; height:auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/caliact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Alie_Calia.jpg?w=902&amp;ssl=1 902w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/caliact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Alie_Calia.jpg?resize=416%2C554&amp;ssl=1 416w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/caliact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Alie_Calia.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/caliact.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Alie_Calia.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 902px) 100vw, 902px\" \/>Professional cuddler since January 2018 and Founder of Calia Cuddle Therapy<\/p>\n<p><strong>Age:<\/strong> <span class=\"whatsMyAgeAgain\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pronouns:<\/strong> She\/Her<\/p>\n<p><strong>Origine:<\/strong> Quebec (Abitibi) and Italy<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spoken languages:<\/strong> Fran\u00e7ais, English, Italiano<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\"><strong>Other passions (besides cuddling!):<\/strong> Plant biology, Car mechanic, Teaching, Barista, Orderly in CHSLD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Story:<\/strong> Alie has always liked to cuddle, but hasn&#8217;t always known how to enforce her own boundaries or even where these boundaries were.
