Cuddle Parties are hosted by local people who have gone through a training and certification process with the founders of Cuddle Party.
Of course, anyone can invite their friends over to cuddle (in fact, we wish more people did), but our facilitators are trained to teach the participants to make respectful invitations and communicate clear boundaries.
Simply put, we help a room full of grown-ups in pajamas feel safe and comfortable while learning new skills and enjoying themselves!
Seattle currently has 3 certified facilitators:
Betty Martin
For Betty, cuddling has been a life-long favorite. She brings to Cuddle Party her experience with other kinds of facilitating, including health care, peer counseling, boundaries workshops, and 27 years of being a mom and now a grandma. Besides Cuddle Parties, she has a private practice as a Love and Intimacy Coach.
"I love watching the wonderful gentleness that people have toward each other. I get re-inspired every time."
Mary Hart
Mary was recently certified as a Cuddle Party Facilitator. She loves Cuddle Party and enjoys meeting new people and having fun while exploring all Cuddle party offers.
Michael Zuckerman
Michael has a professional background as a therapist and he's very interested in group work. He brings a playful, sincere presence to the cuddle party groups experience. Michael enjoys meeting new people to give and receive healing touch.
"I love Cuddle Parties because men and women get to be the vibrant beings they were born to be."
