Professional cuddler Sarah says she\u2019s providing a much-needed service for people who have become \u201cdeprived of touch\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are either busy with their lives or something might be happening in their lives where it has caused them to withdraw when it comes to intimacy,\u201d Sarah told FIVEAA breakfast. \u201cSometimes all it takes is meeting someone like myself and finding that within yourself again.\u201d<\/h3>\n
\u201cFor the majority it\u2019s almost like a therapeutic session.<\/h3>\n
\u201cWhen they\u2019re cuddling me I\u2019m teaching them again that intimacy doesn\u2019t have to be sexual and you can enjoy it — it can be therapeutic.<\/h3>\n
\u201cBefore a session we speak on the phone. I make it very clear what my boundaries are, how the cuddle sessions are conducted, what information is required from you\u2026<\/h3>\n
\u201cI do get a lot of people who sexualise me before they arrive but then when they meet me they go, oh my goodness, she\u2019s really serious about cuddling.<\/h3>\n
\u201cI started the cuddling business because I was going through a lot of hardship in my life. In the last two-and-a-half years I lost a lot of people that I cared about due to mental health. I came to a point where I actually needed it.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
