Hugs with strangers: an Australian woman has come up with an unusual way of earning money, and she is doing great

A professional psychologist from Australia, Jessica O'Neill, earns 79 thousand dollars a year (about 5.3 million rubles) in a very unusual way — hugging people. The spouse adequately perceives her activities despite the fact that many clients are his peers.

How Jessica O'Neill came up with a new profession

An Australian woman lives with her husband in Queensland, Australia. They have been married for a long time and have three children. More than ten years ago, Jessica opened her own studio in the Gold Coast, where she provided the services of a psychologist and a professional massage therapist.

At some point, Jessica O'Neill began to hug clients before the session in order to establish contact faster, to help them get rid of excessive tension. The girl noticed that after the hug ritual, psychotherapy and massage sessions were more fruitful. Noticing the positive effect of hugs, she decided to practice them as a separate type of treatment.

What Jessica O'Neill says about therapeutic hugs

Rarely does anyone work with such pleasure as Jessica. Others consider her a very loving person. She does not hide that she likes to cuddle. This practice serves as a natural expression of her own nature for her. It is noteworthy that clients respond positively to her hugs even at the first treatment sessions.

According to the girl, hugging therapy is very relevant in the digital age, when many people are acutely aware of loneliness and suffer from depression. Hugs are not only liberating and have a confidential conversation, they give you the opportunity to feel loved and needed.

A mother of three children, Jessica earns 79 thousand dollars (about 5.3 million rubles) a year from hugs.

According to Jessica O'Neill, the highly developed technologies of the modern world do not make people happier. Total employment does not leave time for friendly communication. Chronic haste and a busy schedule only increase stress. Sooner or later, this leads to severe depression, loss of interest in the world around us and people.

How does the hugging treatment go and how much does it cost

Various clients come to Jessica O'Neill's studio. Young people and adults, men and women-they all experience psychological difficulties and need the support of a specialist. There are different types of treatment available to clients:

Hourly billing includes joint meditation. After completing the meditation, they move to the chairs and communicate easily. Chatter on various topics is accompanied by friendly, warm hugs. The Australian woman says that most clients complain of social isolation, anxiety, lack of communication and loneliness. Hugs are great for coping with depression and other psychological problems.

Often people who have developed an addiction to sex or watching porn turn to her for help. The therapy that Jessica offers helps them to reconnect with their own body. The girl says that most of the clients do not go beyond the bounds of decency. Sometimes there are awkward moments in her work. She estimated such situations as one percent of the total number of sessions. Jessica is convinced that she has found her destiny on Earth — to help people with hugs.
