While Jean is now all about spreading positivity and happiness, her path to becoming a joyful Cuddle Consultant actually stemmed from a dark place.
In an interview with Voyage LA, Jean explained that she had been single and depressed for years. She also had become overly dependent on a relationship with a man where the love and affection weren’t mutual, and she realized that what she truly desired was actually sweet conversation and cuddling.
Jean found her calling to cuddle when she opened a magazine and saw a photo of people just chilling and cuddling, and she realized that’s what was missing in her life. Upon researching, Jean learned there were no events in Los Angeles dedicated to cuddling and so she created one herself, and thus, Cuddle Sanctuary was born.
