RIVER ROSE | River Rose Cuddle Cottage, Beaverton, Oregon, USA
With a lifelong passion for healing, River Rose brings warmth, compassion, and a deep understanding of the power of touch to every session. As a certified Cuddle Therapist through Cuddle Professionals International and a practitioner of holistic healing, River believes that intentional touch can be profoundly transformative. She draws from an extensive background in massage therapy, trauma-informed care, hot stone therapy, and a wide range of healing practices. River’s journey with healing touch began in childhood, sitting with her grandmother to ease the pain of cancer, an experience that shaped her understanding of touch as a way to comfort and connect. Today, River works with individuals and couples, creating a safe and nurturing space where clients can feel seen, heard, and truly cared for.
Each session with River is tailored to your unique needs—whether you’re seeking comfort, relaxation, or healing from touch deprivation or trauma. As part of her commitment to community, River donates 5% of each session fee to one of five organizations that clients can choose from, ensuring that the care shared in her practice ripples out into the world. At River Rose Cuddle Cottage, where comfort blooms, you’ll find a sanctuary for healing, connection, and personal growth. Let’s take this journey together.

LUNA FUENTES | Ripple Effect Platonic Touch Therapy, Mexico City, Mexico
As a female entrepreneur, freedom to explore connection and exercise my boundaries were the pillars that led me to create a new and unique space for you to experience the power of healing through Platonic Touch Therapy. Throughout my coaching practice, I have developed tools to reframe every difficult situation and map a path that enables people to become more integrated and able to make the changes they didn’t think they could make. By integrating and combining touch therapy, life coaching principles, and trauma-informed care, my vision is to help you realize the ripple effect always starts with you. Platonic Touch Therapy empowers you to discover and navigate your emotional needs, nurture self-awareness, and foster healthier relationships. The magic of working with boundaries and consent is to feel relationships are no longer “all-or-nothing” when it comes to nourishing physical touch. It’s about being supported and connected on your own terms. At Ripple Effect Platonic Touch Therapy, our team provides safe, empathetic, and trauma-informed platonic-touch experiences, prioritizing a supportive environment where you can explore the power of connection while experiencing the therapeutic benefits of platonic touch. We honor inclusivity, respect, and empowerment as the way to cultivate profound connections with yourself and others, igniting a ripple effect of healing and positive change. As an internationally Certified Platonic Touch Therapist and Reiki Master, with additional certifications in Life Coaching and Holistic Health, I bring a wealth of expertise and a profound understanding of human connection to my practice.

CASSEY WHITNEY | Cassey's Healing Cuddles, Atherton Tablelands, Cairns, Melbourne Australia
Hey, I'm Cassey. I garden, look after my chickens and I love to dance. I've always been a cuddly person. I was that friend that would run up to you, hug you super tight, and make you feel special. Over time I've lost that a little, and started to notice how different I felt, how much it affected me. I found it super interesting and started looking into why, even getting my diploma in Cuddle Therapy. I learned so much during that course, including what happens to our bodies physically when we lose connections with others. It made me realize how perfect I am for this space. I love cuddles and I love holding space for others to feel those feel-good cuddle emotions too. It is so incredibly healing! Cuddle therapy has transformed my understanding of human connection and healing. Through my personal journey and professional training, I've discovered how essential and revitalizing physical touch can be. I’m excited to share this passion with you, creating a warm and supportive space where you can experience the profound benefits of cuddling. If you have any questions or want to learn more about how cuddle therapy can enrich your life, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your well-being. If you're over 18+ I'll be glad to cuddle you! No matter your age, race, gender or sexual orientation. I just love people.
