The Touch Me There!™ mission is to grow a movement of touch-based wellness providers who are committed to prioritizing client consent. It is also our mission to strengthen the bond between mental and medical healthcare providers and bodyworkers through education, collaborative care practices, professional development opportunities and a database of TMT endorsed providers and partners.

What's In a Name?
The most frequent question we get is, "Why?" Why would we choose a name that is so commonly considered to be suggestive or potentially triggering?
We are living in a time when in-person connection is fading and virtual connection is surging. Simultaneously, the act of simple human-to-human physical touch is trending towards a marketplace commodity instead of a normative platonic act between friends, family, community members and lovers. Professional cuddle houses are popping up across the country, catering to a population that turns to paid providers in order to receive basic human intimacy. Massage therapy is being recommended by mental healthcare providers for clients who are isolated and touch deprived. Franchised massage centers are popping up lightning fast, employing brand new practitioners with little experience in case management and maintaining boundaries with clients. As professional touch gains momentum, It's imperative that we become fluent in the act of asking for and receiving the kind of platonic, therapeutic touch that we really need and want. Asking someone to touch you in the precise way you want, for the amount of time that you want and in the places on your body that you want is a skill we need to normalize. It's time to change how we hear that simple request, "Would you please... Touch Me There?"
So. We got your attention. Now, join us in growing a touch-fluent culture! Click here for information on TMT sessions or TMT provider training in your area.
