Meet Robin Marie.
According to Robin Marie’s profile, her prior work as a marriage and family therapist taught her the importance of listening without passing judgment and helped her develop a strong sense of empathy for everyone.
Since January 2018, Robin has been a Certified Cuddlist. She is based in Kansas City.
In the video, Robin shared that after dealing with health problems a few years ago, she realized that she was only being touched during professional massages and she wasn’t alone.
So, she set out to help other people.
The power of a healing touch
As Robin continued in this profession, she saw a transformation in her clients through the years. And she believes that this is because of the healing touch of cuddles.
Of course, before booking Robin for a cuddle session, she makes sure that clients know the terms and condition first.
Health benefits of hugs.
The transformation and healing of Robin’s clients may be connected with the health benefits of hugs scientifically.
According to www.concorde.edu, a proper deep hug, where the hearts are pressing together, can benefit you in different ways.
Hugs immediately increase oxytocin levels, which relieve loneliness, alienation, and rage. Hugs for an extended time lift serotonin level which means that can elevate your mood.
Cuddles also relax muscles and release the tension in the body, which can relieve pain and soothe aches.
Lastly, hugs work much like meditation. According to www.concorde.edu, cuddles teach us to let go and be present in the moment. They encourage us to flow with the energy of life.
