Cuddle therapy massage by Milissa Shultz  is a specialized trauma informed healing touch modality for people experiencing touch deprivation for any number of reasons, or who are managing traumas that make it difficult to receive or give touch. 
The experience of safe platonic touch can soothe the nervous system and bring about the production of stress relieving chemicals in the body.
 It is performed fully clothed and is 100% platonic in nature.  Milissa has a strong motherly instinct, intuitiveness, empathy and many years of experience and brings these valuable skills to her sessions. 
 Cuddle therapy massage is NOT a substitute for psychotherapy or medical care, however , it can be a helpful adjunct to the care you are receiving.
