Ready for Hands-On Cuddle Class?
Hi, I’m Jean Franzblau – Founder of the Cuddle Sanctuary in Los Angeles. My colleague, Fei Wyatt, and I have designed a hands-on program to give you the tools to deliver private cuddle sessions with professionalism and confidence. If you’ve taken any of our online courses, you know how much we care about your learning experience. Ready to take it to the next level? We’ll explore in detail every stage of a cuddle session. You’ll have the chance to practice with a real client and get feedback.
“I feel better!”
We often hear these words from our cuddle clients. It’s incredibly gratifying to create an experience for people that delivers the human contact and connection they crave.
Students leave this program with the skills, experience and practice they need to give professional cuddle sessions.
This program will delight, challenge and change you.
When you put a group of human beings together who care as deeply about people and the world as professional cuddlers are, it creates a potent alchemy. When you add the experienced facilitation and world-class program design that we bring, you can expect fireworks.
Besides the personal growth you’ll experience and the new friendships that will emerge, you’ll also have the confidence and certification to give cuddle sessions that truly and deeply help people. Here’s a detailed agenda.
“Truly a life-changing experience! I’m very grateful to take my place in this quiet revolution….”
Stacy Christopher – Student, Certified Professional Cuddler
“Wonderful – so glad I did it!” K.T. – Student, Certified Professional Cuddler
Our BuzzFeed video about professional cuddling received over seven millions hits – clearly the message of healthy, human connection is hitting a chord in our touch-deprived culture. With a Cuddle Sanctuary Professional Cuddler Certification, you have an opportunity to literally be the change you wish to see in the world.
In this twenty-five hour training, you’ll practice the cuddle positions and techniques that will delight and nourish your clients. You’ll receive a workbook full of resources that you can reference again and again throughout your career.
There will be practice sessions, demonstrations, mini-lectures, one-on-one coaching, lively discussions and the chance to work with a real client! There will also be time to digest what you’re learning, socialize and if you’d like – cuddle!
You could spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to be a professional cuddler on your own. Or simply let us show you how. We’ll share our secrets, tips and techniques that create the safe, nourishing cuddle sessions that bring clients back again and again.
