No. It is platonic, fully clothed, nonsexual, and guided by explicit boundaries and active consent.

Publish fees clearly and use qualified advice for jurisdiction-specific financial or tax questions.

Does professional cuddler training guarantee safety?

No. Training can support better preparation, screening, boundaries, privacy choices, and response planning, but no course or screening process can eliminate risk.
