One form of alternative therapy that has seen a recent boom is “alternative touch therapy” or snuggle services. Yes, snuggling is a form of therapy and there are professionals here in the Treasure Valley ready to give you the cuddles you need. The company is called Alt Touch Therapy and they’re offering their services right here in Boise.

“We strive to provide you with the safest, most reliable, and skilled source of 100% platonic alternative touch therapy service in Idaho,” writes Charlotte Lindsay, owner and founder of Alt Touch Therapy on their Yelp page.
