If you decide to cuddle anyway, we recommend only cuddling people who are in isolation. Both the cuddler and the cuddlee should thoroughly wash their hands before any contact. Both parties should cancel any appointments if they feel unusually tired or have symptoms of cold/flu.
The mandate of the Canadian Association of Professional Cuddlers is to:
In addition to all regular agreements, we have implemented a number of new guidelines that prioritizes the safety and well-being of cuddlees and cuddlers. All parties must agree to the terms below and maintain strict compliance throughout the duration of the cuddling session. We thank everyone for their understanding and mindfulness for the health and safety of others in these uncertain times.
For the Cuddlee:
All cuddlees must wash their hands immediately upon entering the premises, undergo a pre-screening, and wear a mask throughout the session to protect all parties involved.
If there is a shower at the facility, a shower would be better to take.
Please do not cuddle if any of the following points pertain to you:
1. You are experiencing any of the following:
Severe chest pain
Severe difficulty waking up
Severe difficulty breathing (e.g. struggling to breathe or speaking in single words)
Feeling confused
Losing consciousness
2. You are you experiencing any of the following:
Mild to moderate shortness of breath
Inability to lie down because of difficulty breathing
Chronic health conditions that you are having difficulty managing because of difficulty breathing
3. You are experiencing cold, flu, and/or COVID-19-like symptoms, even mild ones.
4. You have traveled to Ontario, Quebec, or any countries outside Canada (including the United States) within the last 14 days.
5. You have provided care or have had close contact with a person with confirmed COVID-19 in the last 20 days.
For the Cuddler:
Design your own restart plan in accordance with the guidelines of your province. You can follow the guidelines of the massage therapists of your province. Please note that cuddling is riskier than massages.
At a minimum, your plan must include detailed pre-screening, hand hygiene , and enhanced cleaning.
Your plan will:
Ensure that only healthy people will be permitted in the practice environment. Have a pre-screening process.
Describe pre-screening processes to protect patients, therapists and staff,
Detail hand hygiene and cleaning protocols – use clean sheets, ventilate the room before, during, and after the cuddle session.
Provide for a smaller caseload than pre-pandemic levels – care should be prioritized on the basis of need, – we recommend 2 or 3 clients a day maximum, priority to people who live alone and work from home. Do contact tracing.
Ensure that communication to patients and colleagues are clear, shared by all, and consistent,
Be shared with co-workers and everyone who shares the practice environment with you,
Adapt as needs emerge and new information is available, and
Minimize risk to all.

There is no nudity or sexual activity in any of the cuddlers’ services
You can have high-quality platonic cuddles YOU want. You can be held tight, tickled, gently massaged, caressed as you want. You will feel as though you are wrapped in a bubble of affection. If the cuddler is not caring or offering a sexual service you can report them here.
You can add the option
SKIN-TO-SKIN(..more..)
Where the men and women wear shorts while the women also wear a short top instead of a full pyjama.This option is purely to maximize the benefits of cuddling. Several studies on the power of touch have been done with direct skin contact. The clothes are never sexy as the goal is not to arouse.
Support 30% off(..more..)
You can let yourself cry, or just let yourself being held tight, rocked slowly, petted on the hair, you can ask for them to tell you comforting statements
When you feel in a panic state or deep sadness, the cuddler should support you emotionally and should offer a shoulder on which to cry. Cuddlers are there to support you through tough times.No proof is required. However, please take note that the cuddler should offer you more supportive cuddles rather than affectionate ones or for the well-being.
Movie Night(..more..)
Enjoy a movie while having someone cuddling you! Better than any theatre! A maximum of a 2 hours non-pornographic movie. The cuddler stays only for the duration of the movie.
Spend the Night(..more..)
Usually not for new clients. Fifteen minutes of cuddling before sleeping, and another 15 minutes of cuddling when waking up. This service can be combined with another package to extend the cuddling time.
Traveling/Platonic Companionship:(..more..)
If you are worried that cuddling a stranger may be…strange, you can get to know your cuddler.Though studies have shown benefits of touch from strangers, many people prefer to get to know their cuddler. With Platonic Companionship, activities are offered such as holding hands at a restaurant or while out for a walk, resting one’s head on someone’s shoulder at the movies, a 20 second hugs which has been proven to release Oxytocin in the brain, and other heartwarming affectionate scenarios.

Not sure if cuddling is for you? Live out this experience with 15 minutes of Pure Pleasure for only $19! Only available on your first visit.
*Satisfaction guaranteed
Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back: Under the condition that the cuddlee did not infringe the Client’s Agreement and that the cuddlee’s expectation was not of a sexual nature.
We recommend reading the Client’s Agreement beforehand. The cuddler should quickly summarize it to kindly remind you what this service is about. You should sign it with your cuddler upon your arrival. If you have not read it yet, you may spend a few minutes reading it at your rendez-vous, instead of enjoying the cuddler’s company! You may wish to read the cuddler’s oath for more detail.
Offered by the Cuddlery. Of the people the Cuddlery interviewed to become cuddlers, less than 10% of the candidates who thought they were good actually were. With some guidance, some “bad cuddlers” improved so much that they were hired after. Marylen, who has an education degree, a massage background, and exquisite cuddling skills can teach you in one or two hours how to finally satisfy your partner’s non-sexual cuddling needs. The course can be taken alone, with your partner, in a small group (2-4 people who subscribed individually), or in groups that you organize (like a Tupperware party, but for cuddles!). For the “2, 3, or 4” and “Group of 5 or more” options, use the “quantity” field to indicate the number of participants.
Currently in Vancouver. Please fill out the form below if you are outside of Vancouver Area. Marylen travels across Canada.
