I’m the founder of the first cuddling business in Canada. I also founded the Canadian Association of Professional Cuddlers. Finally, I’m a professional cuddler and a lawyer in family law and immigration.

The talk — BIL 2015 Vancouver

In North America, the average person touches 1 or twice a day, compared to Latin America where it can be close to a hundred times. Touching more is correlated with happier people. But still, there are some taboos about touch deprivation, about touching someone else than our partner. During the talk, I will talk about the science behind the power of touch, breaking some myths, and giving some tips how to have more touch in your life and become a better cuddler.
