Welcome to Cuddle Sanctuary’s Online School
We expect a surge in demand once the pandemic subsides – now is the time to prepare.
Is it really possible to be paid to cuddle with somebody? Could life be that good? The answer is yes! And no. My name is Jean Franzblau, and I’m the Founder of Cuddle Sanctuary. When I was featured on BuzzFeed, hundreds of people commented at how fun and easy it would be to be a professional cuddler. The truth is that it takes practice and work.
Professional cuddling is a new profession that confuses a lot of people. It takes a lot of explanation and patience for a new practitioner to find clients. Have I dissuaded you? I hope not! If you want to make the world a more compassionate place, cuddling can be a profound and satisfying practice. If you’re already in a helping profession, Cuddle Sanctuary training can be an amazing addition to your toolkit.
The offerings below are divided between working one-on-one with clients and working with groups. Some financial aid and racial equity scholarships are available. Click the training that interests you!

A Day of Self Care
Treat yourself, and spend the day diving deep into the bliss of cuddling. Join us for a daylong cuddle retreat, held at a lovely location. You will be guided into a state of full presence and peacefulness, where you can completely melt into touch and connection.
Expect to deepen your skills around touch, and don’t be surprised to find yourself completely relaxed and in a state of utter bliss at the end of the day.
WHAT TO EXPECT
There will be relaxation and connection exercises, sprinkled in with some instruction and discussion. There’s also generous swaths of time built in to cuddle and experiment. Many of our exercises will be done in pairs or small groups, where we take turns with giving and receiving.
As with all of our events, you are welcome to participate in whatever way you choose including staying with one partner, sitting out and observing, or choosing to participate without any touch. There will be a few breaks built in, including lunch. We’ll provide some healthy snacks, but please plan for your own lunch. It’s common for folks to spend lunchtime together talking about their experience.
