I Was 33 When Cuddle Therapy Called My Name

I Was 33 When Cuddle Therapy Called My Name

It was 2019, and I was lead steward at one of the many interesting events I had the chance to experience. I was travelling, doing well, enjoying work in the event industry, but something inside me knew this was not my calling.

At the time, my private life was teaching me a quiet but uncomfortable truth. I was giving too much in my relationships. I wanted to help, to be there for them physically. But it didn’t feel right anymore, so I started asking myself deeper questions.

How can I support them without losing myself?
How can physical presence be healing without crossing boundaries?

And in that thought process, the answer landed. Cuddle therapy. This spark ignited a sacred fire inside me. A fire that is still burning.

Like for many, my dream grew slowly. Covid immediately gave me a reason to slow down, but after the lockdowns I continued working in the event industry while quietly feeding my inner fire. Then, towards the end of 2023, I finally moved to Brighton to step into my calling. And with that, my introduction proudly changed to “My name is Reka and I am a cuddle therapist. Welcome to my space.”

I grew up in a large, traditional Christian family, where love existed, but nurturing, individual attention often did not. I never felt truly seen or appreciated in that godly environment. And why I do my work is to help people not to feel like that.

My mission is simple, yet profound. I aim to help people feel heard, held and healed, the sacred trinity of H’s that also form Hungarian Hug Haven, through the power of one of our basic human needs, touch.

My work weaves in with The Witch & The Magician Holistic Wellbeing, which also gives home to Alex Wholeness and Neemology, our Ayurvedic supplement. This product is the embodiment of our mission, healing through the inner wisdom of our body, mind and soul.

I want to leave you this wisdom.

Your inner voice is the most sacred part of you. She is your truth and power. And it is vital that you honour and listen to her, because the inevitable changes in your life cannot happen without her.

May you find your inner voice and ignite your fire. May you have the wisdom to keep them loud and burning.
