All winners will receive a personal email with instructions on how to get started. Please check back on our Find A Cuddler tab as our cuddlers complete training and help support them by booking a session if you feel comfortable.

If you entered but weren’t selected please know that we admire you for putting yourself out there. We encourage you to sign up anyway. If you are driven to do this work your investment will come back to you many fold and in many ways. This is about changing lives. The world needs folks like us who can hold space and make things just a little bit more okay again.

Welcome!

Here at Certified Cuddlers we believe it’s time for us to change the taboo around touch and engage in meaningful conversations around consent. For us to thrive, we need to understand how to feel nurtured, connected, and loved. Professional Cuddling is a great catalyst for this.

That’s why we are launching our new online certification option and creating this site as a platform for potential clients to find trained professionals. To get things started, we are giving away 50 Online Certifications (A $299 value each)! That’s almost $15,000 in prizes!!!

In order to be eligible to win, here’s you need to do:

Be a minimum of 18 years old (no upper age limit, all gender identities welcome). Agree to follow all of the rules and oath set forth on certifiedcuddlers.com. Have internet access, software to read pdf’s (like Adobe), and can access YouTube. Have someone to practice with whom you trust and feel safe with. Have at least 5 people you trust and feel safe with who will complete training sessions and who are willing to complete an online survey about their experience. Confirm you will not be breaking any laws by offering a platonic touch service in your area. Agree that financial gain is not the only reason you are seeking to become certified.
