The Safe, Verified Platform for Professional Platonic Touch Care
Connecting identity-verified clients with verified platonic cuddling practitioners nationwide. Built on mandatory government ID checks, encrypted communications, real-time safety monitoring, and zero booking markups.
Built on Privacy, Security, Trust & Safety
Our platform guarantees a secure environment for verified providers and clients.
Mandatory Identity Verification
Every client and provider must complete Stripe Identity verification (Government Photo ID + Live Selfie check) before initiating direct messages or requesting sessions. Handles and pseudonyms are prohibited.
Real-Time Safety & Monitoring
Sessions are supported by active location check-in timers, panic escalation triggers, and end-to-end encrypted member messaging to ensure practitioner and client safety at all times.
Transparent Direct Pricing
We charge a simple, flat monthly membership. Providers keep 100% of their session fees with zero middleman booking cuts, hidden service fees, or session markups.
Strict Boundaries & Code of Conduct
All sessions are strictly non-sexual. Members complete government ID verification, acknowledge our non-sexual service terms, and sign our Code of Conduct prior to booking care.
Empowering Nervous System Regulation & Somatic Healing
The Holding Project serves adults who are seeking safe, respectful human connection in a calm, professional environment. Many of our clients are navigating life transitions, high stress, grief, trauma history, neurological differences, or simply long periods without nurturing physical contact.
We commonly work with widowed individuals, work-focused professionals experiencing burnout, autistic adults, survivors of trauma, and others who value platonic touch within clear, consent-based boundaries.
Separately, we also support expecting and new parents with specialized workshops and somatic techniques for managing infant crying.
