A "cuddle therapist"? What's that?
One of the things we often overlook in our daily lives is physical touch, without it, it is possible for a person to fall into depression and a number of other mental health problems. One woman saw a need and fulfilled it.
Jessica O'Neill is a mother of three from Australia that has become a "cuddle therapist" and currently makes around $58,000 (RM237,916) a year just by hugging people! That's about RM20,000 a month! Wow.

Jessica claims that her hugs can help those who are suffering from loneliness, depression, or low self confidence. Originally, Jessica was a massage therapist and counselor who noticed that when she hugged her clients during sessions, they were more willing to open up to her and drop their guards.
"I could see their anxiety and tension melt away. Then I could get to the core of their persona and do what I can to heal them," she said. "Everyone has a totally different story. But the most common factors are loneliness, depression, isolation and anxiety. All of them just have that desire to connect with someone."
