Susanne Woodward, a professional cuddle therapist, has been accused of sexual misconduct after she put her nipple inside her female client’s mouth for five minutes.
A qualified masseuse from Arizona, Woodward charges $80 for cuddling sessions, a stress-relieving therapy that boomed recently.
However, Woodward was reported to the Arizona State Board of Massage after her sessions in April.
She had four nude sessions with a female client who needed help with her sexual trauma.
But the complainant said: “I told her it has always been my dream to be held naked by a woman.”
Woodward said she could do it but her client alleged she was told to keep it a secret.
On the last session, the women got naked and Woodward invited her client to rest her head on her breasts.
“She then told me to suck her nipple,” the complainant said to the Arizona Public. Woodward told her: “I am channeling nurturing energy to you through my breast.”
But Woodward claims that it was her client who initiated the mouth-to-breast contact and it was consensual. She said that the client even thanked her and seemed in good spirits after the session.
But the complainant said it was only when she arrived home from the last session when she realized the ‘severity’ of what the therapist had done. She called the Tempe police but was told nothing illegal had happened
The therapist’s lawyer, Flynn Carey, successfully argued that Woodward had been working in her cuddling capacity.
Arizona State Board of Massage ordered Woodward, who still has her license, to separate her websites for cuddling and massage therapies.
