She’s now the founder of Cuddle Sanctuary in Los Angeles which provides a safe space every week for people to give and receive healthy touch. “I found that when my needs for cuddling were met, I made better decisions in my love life. I wasn’t starved for touch!”  Besides also being a corporate trainer, Jean is also a workshop leader and coach at her company, Sexual Esteem with Jean. Jean graduated cum laude with a BA in communications from UCLA and has 18 years experience with the 12-step model of recovery. She offers free online classes and blogs at SexualEsteemWithJean.com.
