Sam here. I started professional cuddling in 2015 alongside my construction engineering job. I left that job in 2017 to pursue cuddling fulltime– only to go broke by July of that year. I knew how to cuddle well, but I didn’t know how to run a business as a professional cuddler well. I got out of debt and built a thriving business by learning what I needed to change, which was a lot more than I could have ever guessed. Now I teach other cuddlers so they can thrive financially while doing a lot of good in their business. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/24f92e25-88af-43c1-b457-e61f43f43262/19_Home_CTA+Graphic.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cuddlecareer.com/foundations daily 0.75 2026-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/1669844732561-486U7UFH99MX86OVJVHN/2_Product_Audience+Banner.jpg Cuddle Career: Foundations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/1669844757750-SH853JJ3O40F6YWQOWKY/4_Product_Product+Name+Banner.jpg Cuddle Career: Foundations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/1669844783498-QUULT7ZGU5BJ6BE04WCX/7_Product_Modules_Banner.jpg Cuddle Career: Foundations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/1669844804544-20B618BFQ6DEKFFNCMOA/12_Product_How+It+Works+Banner.jpg Cuddle Career: Foundations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/1669844845414-IRH3PBSP1N0PFLM6H2EL/22_Product_Packages+Banner.jpg Cuddle Career: Foundations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/1669844867248-L1HOFGEICOK5TJXICBFZ/25_Product_FAQ+Banner.jpg Cuddle Career: Foundations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/1702309468832-D3WI0NTUH3BETOTEMCZG/Samantha%2BVarnerin_Andre%2BBogard_Arlington_Boston_2020-09-20%2B900am_1600873867_recgGO44QgGj4WaKw_2970_26.jpg Cuddle Career: Foundations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/1c966184-809c-4cae-b9bc-02eb1e124ba5/3_Product_Audience+Image.png Cuddle Career: Foundations - Have you completed your cuddle therapy training, but now you’re asking yourself “What do I do next?!” There are so many great certification programs for us professional cuddlers, but what those programs don’t always include is extensive training around how to build a successful practice. Your certification can only get you so far if you don’t know how to successfully run a business with clients who keep coming back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/68a6b533-20df-4194-be84-cbd2789ddd72/5_Product_Product+Name+Image.png Cuddle Career: Foundations - Cuddle Career: Foundations Let me get real with you right now: It doesn’t matter if your bookkeeping is up-to-date and you have pretty business cards if you only have 2 clients and you’re not even sure if or when they are going to come back. (yea, I said that—it’s ok, I’ve been there too—that’s why I created this course) Unless you are swimming in inquiries and bookings, there is no reason why your focus shouldn’t be on mastering the skills to build a consistent clientele. This course teaches you exactly that. You have learned the theory of cuddle therapy in your certification training, but mastering what that actually looks like in practice is a totally different beast. This course not only gives you the skills to connect more deeply and effectively with your clients (which is the secret to long-lasting client relationships), but the logistical business know-how to build the thriving practice you dream of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/e8f63e11-c670-4e4d-baa6-94f3b6b74454/6_Product_Testimonial+Quotes+Red.png Cuddle Career: Foundations - I'm so glad I connected with Sam and completed this course. My confidence in myself to do this work has grown, and my practice has grown as well. It was very valuable to learn about how to work with clients as well as run a business. I also appreciated the opportunity to connect with other Cuddlers. I feel more connected to the Cuddle community and have gained valuable tips and skills to continue doing this work. - Tamreh Herlihy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/336a3e0b-96e5-4031-951c-2d0c566a9a38/8_Product_Module+1.png Cuddle Career: Foundations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/6b25df87-0c50-4afa-949e-3907b93b3c25/9_Product_Module+2.png Cuddle Career: Foundations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/60e639bd-973a-4599-b95f-7f5b89bba5e1/10_Product_Module+3.png Cuddle Career: Foundations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/ca784fc0-c259-4cce-9500-74427ea94d78/11_Product_Module+4.png Cuddle Career: Foundations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/00e496e5-1cbe-4972-8561-66900078c689/unnamed.jpg Cuddle Career: Foundations - This is what student Xandria has to say When I signed up for this course, I was in a real rut in my cuddling practice; I was at the point where I wasn’t sure if I could continue to stay afloat as a full-time cuddle therapist much longer. When I first started cuddling, I was an overnight success because I was young and pretty, and I was the “new kid on the block”. I had the attitude that I was gracing clients with my presence rather than truly being present for them. In this course, Sam set me straight, she taught me how to add value to my clients' lives and how to show up for them and hold space in a session. She helped reshape the way I approached my practice, and thanks to her mentorship, I was able to not only stay afloat but also open a second location within a few months of taking her course. -Xandria Schaeffer, Cuddleworks.net https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/881ff7a1-95a3-4726-9e2c-1b62aecb80a4/Group+307.jpg Cuddle Career: Foundations - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/e737b7cc-7946-402e-bb2b-1c0c8d7041b9/Chris+Hallet.jpeg Cuddle Career: Foundations - Here’s what Chris has to say: "Sam is a thoughtful, thorough teacher and facilitator who has been around the block in the professional cuddling world. She delights in sharing her knowledge and experience with her students. I very much appreciate the effort and intention she puts into creating comprehensive yet concise course material, and I admire her emotionally intelligent approach to interacting with clients." -Chris Hallet, cuddlewithchris.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/9cae02f5-a700-4060-b684-6c80b38a5912/Cuddle+Career+Foundations+Course+Only.png Cuddle Career: Foundations - Course Only + 7 Pre-Recorded Modules + 15 plus hours of Pre-Recorded Content + Private Facebook Community for Students + Action Items and Worksheets (aka Fun Sheets) for every module + Weekly emails with check in’s for first 8 weeks Click here to see payment plans https://www.cuddlecareer.com/about daily 0.75 2022-12-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/1669844937343-17OAB3BTL23X836MV7ZF/1_About_Intro+Banner.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/1669844959548-ONKONQFHIFI6MM1NKQDX/2_About_Mission+Banner.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/1669844981943-IRWVNUH8XMDO7Q85Q5Y9/4_About_Story+%26+Values+Banner.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/1669845141260-JE53LZLT76UNFA7OUSNY/14_About_CTA+Banner.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6378d3b618e7520a08f9238b/2b18a8e9-a846-41f5-8e49-b1cd322155bd/Depositphotos_50065329_XL.jpg About - Our mission is to help you run your cuddle business in a heart-centered way.
