Cuddling 101

Jean Franzblau has a warm and cuddly personality, which is quite apropos because Jean happens to be a professional Cuddle Expert. Yes, that’s a thing. Not only is it a thing but there’s scientific backing behind such a profession. There are measurable health benefits to human touch that appear to be physical as well as psychological. Cuddle therapy is becoming a thriving industry and after this recent pandemic it is one industry that doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Jean takes her job as a professional Cuddle Expert, very seriously. So much so, that she is the founder and organizer of “Cuddle Sanctuary”. She organizes social events in which people get to connect with other humans through the art of touch. These are non sexual social gatherings. Jean makes this very clear that her focus is on wellness and health. These social functions lean more towards healing touch deprived human beings. Cuddle Sanctuary also trains practitioners to become professional Cuddle Expert. Jean Franzblau is at the forefront of this emerging wellness modality. She is kicking ass in the cuddle game. Judging from my conversation with her, she is extremely passionate about the need for this in our current society. Jean is excitedly ambitious to see these practices become interwoven into our cultures. Hey, at one point we thought Yoga was weird and now they’re teaching it in prisons. Who knows, maybe one day this Cuddling thing will be taught in prisons around the... y’know what, never mind. Something tells me they’re already cuddling in prisons.
