We started CuddlePro because the research is clear — and yet professional, safe, therapeutic touch remained hard to access. We built the platform to change that.
"To make safe, certified therapeutic touch accessible to everyone who needs it."
We connect people seeking comfort, relief, and human connection with trained, certified Cuddle Pros — in a framework built on safety, boundaries, and mutual respect.
CuddlePro was founded in 2022 after our team spent years studying the science of therapeutic touch — and noticing a gap. While research consistently showed that platonic touch reduces cortisol, improves sleep, and eases loneliness, there was no trusted, professional platform to facilitate it.
We built CuddlePro to fill that gap. Starting with a small cohort of certified practitioners in California, we developed a vetting process, a code of ethics, and a booking system designed around client safety and practitioner wellbeing.
Today we operate across the US with over 150 certified Pros — and we're just getting started.
Everything we build, every Pro we certify, and every session we facilitate is guided by these principles.
A small, passionate group of therapists, technologists, and advocates who believe in the healing power of human connection.
Decades of research support what our clients feel after every session.
Whether you're looking for a session or want to become a certified Cuddle Pro — we'd love to have you.
