Description:
Every single client regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, or trauma history wants one thing more than any other from their therapeutic touch and cuddling session. They may not know how to ask for it. They may not even believe it’s possible. They may scoff at it if you told them that’s what you’re going to give them, but if you give it, they will love it, they will heal and grow, and they will come back for more. Come discover what this mystery “it” is and learn the 6 Radical Skills that allow you to offer it consistently.
Dive deeper into the Radical Skills and transform your personal and professional relationships in the online, interactive course Jerk-Proof Your Relationships. Kassandra is committed to empowering you and making the course accessible. Mention CuddleEd when you call/text 720-340-2246 or email kassandra@kassandrabrown.org.

[/cmsmasters_toggle][cmsmasters_toggle title=”4 Things You Need to Do Today to Find More of Your Best Professional Cuddling Clients”]
Description:
You know that professional cuddling is meaningful work that helps people, but it seems hard to get other people to see that and become great clients. This work is heart-centered, and something this meaningful needs heart-centered marketing to support it. In this workshop, we go over 4 things you can apply immediately to begin getting better results in who reaches out to you, how they reach out to you, and how they respond to you. You DON’T need your own website or a marketing budget to benefit from this workshop, so wherever you are in your business you’ll benefit from applying these.
About the presenter:
Sam Varnerin started her career in professional cuddling in 2015 by complete accident and, as she describes it, with way less research than she ever recommends anyone do before going into this work. In 2017, she left her job in construction engineering to pursue this work full-time with her personal practice, Snuggle with Sam. After running out of money within six months and supporting herself through various side gigs, she began to think about how many others in her situation might be tempted to bend their policies and boundaries so they could financially support themselves, and she wanted to help them do this work safely and with strong boundaries. She spent time experimenting and testing out ideas to grow her practice and connect deeper with her clients, and she created her first online course, Snuggle Safety Protocols, and later Sam’s Snuggle School (now part of Cuddle Career). In the summer of 2018 she went on a Tour across the country to many popular cuddling cities to explore the cultures around touch and professional cuddling in other local areas so she could better understand the struggles other cuddlers might be experiencing. Having the engineering mind she has, she has compassionately workshopped, analyzed, and systematized her practice with an emphasis on personal human touch all so she can better support every single person she works with. She now loves working with men that are looking to change how they interact with people because how they’re currently do so is pushing people away. In 2019, she made more in 9 months doing this work than she had any year previously as an engineer, and she’s committed to helping other professional cuddlers grow their practices in a way that allows them to live the lifestyle they most want. Sam is also a certified Circling Facilitator through The Connection Institute, a Certified Cuddlist, and a practitioner growing her diverse set of tools for trauma-informed practices.
[/cmsmasters_toggle][cmsmasters_toggle title=”Boundaries Means Not Having To Put Up Walls”]
Description:
Sometimes boundaries get a bad rap. They can easily be associated with division. Saying no is easily associated with rejection. We’ve all had plenty of unpleasant experiences around these two things. In fact, cuddling is meant to be an antidote to these experiences so why the heck are we focusing so much on boundaries?? In this presentation Madelon will help re-frame these associations. She will give you a really good idea of how boundaries operate in session with clients, what the Cuddlist protocols are that make it distinct within the field of professional cuddling, and how you will be walked through these things in the Cuddlist training.
