Since I developed Cuddle Therapy nearly 4 years ago, it has advanced so much in so many ways, and mostly through ‘using’ it with people ,that, at the time I had no idea would work. When I first started out, I used it with EFT, wanting to incorporate using the Meridian points, however, I have found that many other therapies can be used alongside Cuddle Therapy and give amazing results. I now use crystals, crystal tapping, flower essences, homeopathy, reiki, etc. In fact I am never surprised at just what does work alongside Cuddle Therapy.  

What is 'Cuddle Therapy'? ........ It is the release of emotion - to enable healing -  by 'exchanging energy'.

 

The power of love and intention knows no boundaries. Allowing emotion to surface, safely and effectively.

 

Its about 'building a bridge' of energy/love between people, using these dolls as the bridge.  For example, a newborn and its mother are still 'connected' with their energy, even though the physical has separated. However, when there is so much fear and trauma around both of them it is difficult to 'focus' on any kind of healing. These dolls, along with a therapist, help the mother to focus her love, rather than her fear, thus enabling the body's energy system to work efficiently, therefore able to help heal both of them. 

*Please note these dolls are only used if it is appropriate - Cuddle Therapy is expanding in its use all the time*

Cuddle Therapy is used just the same should it be an illness, fear, grief.  Once Cuddle Therapy starts, the body relaxes and the body's energy system 'balances' out, allowing it to heal. It brings comfort to the terminally ill and people in pain, by raising their body’s natural endorphins, allowing natural pain relief. With grief and depression, aids the body to release the correct concoction of hormones needed to assist healing.

With the elderly, dementia, etc, it brings comfort and appears to bring the person back to 'today', allowing us to talk with them on an 'even' level and enabling therapists to work on ailments troubling the person concerned.

Cuddle Therapy, alongside other therapies, is helping people from before birth to beyond their last breath. Working with micro preemie's, sick babies, cancer, dis-ease, and the elderly with Alzheimer's and dementia.

 However, my passion is working alongside parents with 'baby-loss' and to help them through such a difficult time in their lives. Also to help these 'tiny' babies to have a quality of life they deserve. Over the last year it becoming apparent that this therapy is a way forward in helping trauma within these fields. 

I have now undertaken research into ways Cuddle Therapy is able to assist in caring for micro premmies, prematures, baby-loss and their parents. Stay with me along this journey.

I have worked ‘on and off’ within the NHS for over 20 yrs, as a play therapist in the children’s wards, in SCBU and in the 'elderly’ wards. I have also worked with Special need children and have been trained in Makaton. My full CV is available to view. I am CRB checked and have full insurance.

Please look at my Cuddle Therapy pages. They are updated regularly as new ways to 'use' Cuddle Therapy arise.
