About Me: I am a certified Cuddle Party facilitator, in fact, I am the first one in Canada! After running Cuddle Parties for 5 years in Toronto, I’ve retired my pajamas but if a very enthusiastic someone wanted to organize a Cuddle Party I might be persuaded to don my PJs once again. When I’m not cuddling I’m a Clutter Coach and a Life Coach (www.spaceforlife.ca). I help people make space for what they really want in their lives individually and in groups. For fun, I dance, laugh, and be silly. I’ve been known to host and attend Laughter Parties (http://laughterparty.net) and I love the idea of having a combination laughter/cuddle party. I’m also big into meditating and do so daily.

Favorite Cuddle Party Rule: #6 – You are encouraged to change your mind! This is my favorite rule partially because I am Cuddle Party certified facilitator #6 but also because it’s the rule that allows me to really live in the moment which is a rare treat.

What I got out of Cuddle Party personally: Wow, what haven’t I gotten out of Cuddle Party! I guess to start, Cuddle Party has really helped me to be clear with the people who surround me. To ask for what I want, to feel ok about saying no, and to really communicate clearly. As a result, I have richer friendships, less tension in my body, a clearer mind and I’ve also lost over 30 pounds. I think the weight loss is due to the fact that many of us, myself included, eat to fill a hole in our lives. One of the holes for me was the lack of affectionate touch in my life and the lack of authentic connections. Once I identified those needs and got them taken care of, I did a lot less emotional eating.
