Requirements

Are there any requirements for the training

​

Why a training?

There are very few prerequisites for the training:

• You're 18 years old or older.

• You have attended cuddle parties, or know that you can cuddle with 'strangers' and share closeness. 

• You have already received several times the feedback that your touches feel beautiful

A background as massage therapist, bodyworker or therapist is helpful but not a prerequisite.

​

In the course of the training, further prerequisites crystallize. But these do not have to be fulfilled from the beginning. That is what the training is for. To become and to be a cuddle therapist is a process. New insights are always growing, new experiences are made. Cuddling therapy is growth.

​

Why a training?

A comprehensive education is indeed necessary to ensure the high quality standard which is the basic requirement for people to feel safe enough to open up and let themselves fall.

​

Requirements for cuddle therapists (will be taught in the training):

• You must be able to put the client at the center of things. This requires altruism, empathy and compassion

• You must be able to evoke a state of universal love for all people, regardless of personal preferences regarding character and appearance.

• You must be a natural communicator, especially in physical communication. Clients should feel comfortable with you and be able to let themselves go. 

• You need a well-trained body intelligence. This means that your body can intuitively interpret the signals of the other body and react to them. You do not work methodically but intuitively. Your hands should be awake and able to touch beautifully

• You are able to give without demanding anything in return. (The energy balance takes place on another level in the form of money).

• You must have clarified most of your issues regarding closeness, intimacy and bonding in advance. Be aware that some of these issues will come up during the training and will require attention.

• You must enjoy touching people, but not abuse it for your own needs. You must not be cuddled up and needy yourself. Then there would be the danger that you take instead of giving

• During the session your body will also go into a deep state of relaxation and recovery. You must be able to stay awake and in the role of therapist.

​

Be aware that the training is challenging. Cuddling therapists have to deal with many issues concerning closeness and intimacy. Experience shows that some of these come to light during the training. So make sure that you not only have time for homework but also time to integrate.

Feedback

​

Feedback from a graduate of the training March/April 2019

"Thank you, dear Angeline, for this deep and wonderful training, which takes up and conveys exactly what we should all take for granted - touch!

In your own warm and true way you introduced us to the theory of cuddling with many practical exercises. I appreciate your clarity and structure, your humour with which you bring us all closer to cuddling. After the two training weekends, I now hold a "method case" in my hands, which on the one hand helps me to create the framework for a cuddling session and to hold it reliably, and on the other hand I deal much more consciously with my own private relationships and encounters. I am literally more sensitive and mindful both on a mental and physical level. It is as if I have developed new receptors.

I am irrepressibly happy that I was one of the first to be able to do this training, which you created especially for me

JI recommend Angeline's training to anyone who is interested in bodywork. Here you will learn how to treat yourself and your client with care. You learn to give touch that respects your boundaries and the boundaries of the other."

Feedback from a graduate of the training October/November 2019

"Angeline's training in cuddling therapy summarizes for me the complete specialist knowledge of this relatively new field of work, she has done valuable pioneering work and set a very pleasingly high standard. From different partner positions and massage techniques to dealing with client reactions and traumas and setting and demanding the respective limits, we have received concrete tools, from interior design to appearance to the setting up of a cuddle therapy session, there has been a lot of support to put into practice. Backgrounds on hormone balance, models of the client-therapist relationship and the flow of touch energy allowed us to experience the high responsibility of the cuddle therapist.

Angeline conveys all this in a well structured and receptive way, in the form of a thick script and many practical exercises. Her strong presence and her direct, warm-hearted manner hold the room, we laughed, cuddled and felt a lot. I leave very touched and enriched from this training, with a lot of competence and desire to cuddle - Thank you dearest Angeline for this gift!"
