“Well all the fears I mentioned showed up and I prayed that Reid would talk for a long, long time. What I didn't expect was who he was being during the circle talk. The more I listened, the more I relaxed, the more I trusted. He created a safe space for me to be... with his words and how he presented them. It was amazing, wonderful and the cuddle puddle rocked... I wouldn't want anyone to miss this experience because of fear!"

- Linda, Wisconsin

“After attending the cuddle party this past Sunday, I stepped out onto the street and definitely had a very good feeling, a lightness, peaceful and smiley. It was great to meet and connect and cuddle with everyone. You guys are great cuddlers!!! The atmosphere and the tone you set was so friendly and welcoming. I had a great time. I hope to join you again soon for oodles of cuddles!!"

- Jim, New York City

“Thanks for the wonderful time on Saturday. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed it until I left and embraced how spectacular I felt. Your party brightened my world. I definitely feel more comfortable and less inhibited. I can't wait for your next gathering!"
 
- Rich, New York City
 

“I must say I had a blast last Saturday. I see myself growing into a cuddle addict, is that part of the intention? Your parties release all the long-stored love and allow a safe and warm place to explore and express my inner brother and sisterhood voice!!! What a great high coming out of it! I feel like a teenager, when I discovered kissing!!! AWESOME and totally addictive..."

- Sandy, New York City

“Now I know what I was missing (and often confusing with sexual needs) all those years before I met my husband. It took finding him, before I felt safe enough to ask for a cuddle when I needed one. I'm catching up on years of cuddle-deprivation now."

- Donna, Amsterdam

 “You continue to impress me and also to open new arenas up for me in regards of my own sexuality and also my love for women and learning to love myself and my body."

- Aaron, Los Angeles
