Kat is a certified Cuddle Party facilitator based in the Chicago area. She has held parties in the NW Chicago suburbs, Rogers Park and Milwaukee areas.
I discovered Cuddle Party over 2 years ago and it changed my life in such a meaningful way. Through the Welcome Circle, I learned so much about myself and consensual touch. Touch is healing, touch is relaxing, touch is something that we all need to feel safe and loved in this world. Cuddle Parties have helped me develop into an emotionally stronger individual and it has become one of my top forms of self-care.
I hope that you can attend one of my parties and find your own benefits in giving and receiving consensual, loving touch!
