Hey friend, I’m Jasmine…
I am a Platonic Touch Practitioner, and I can help you understand touch, boundaries, and consent in a way that most people do not consider.
I remember when I first started out as a professional cuddler in 2016. I had no training. I had no support system. I was still in the proverbial cuddle closet, meaning that nobody knew I was cuddling besides my partner and BFF. I was living in shame. I did not have colleagues to connect with over the unique work we shared. I did not have training or any education in the world of a touch practitioner.

When I finally found support and like-minded individuals who understood the work and had thriving practices, I realized I wasn’t alone. I want to create that for new and existing practitioners who are as driven and focused on growing their practices and ultimatly our industry as a whole. We are all advocates and spokes people for therapeutic platonic touch.
As my practice grew, I developed my skills, I educated myself around neuroscience, psychology of touch, and strategies to best support my clients. I learned…
Other activities I could provide to my client if they were not ready to touch.
Understanding what happens on a physical and neurological level while in session.
Comprehension of why people paid to be held and nurtured.
And most importantly, how to create and cultivate a successful, private touch practice that goes beyond just a side hustle.
