An Australian woman is making close to $90,000 a year cuddling total strangers on the Gold Coast.
Jessica O'Neill, a 35-year-old mother of three, says the cuddles cost around $90 per hour and help lonely people feel valued and loved, reports The Sun.
Ms O'Neill started the job six months ago after a decade working as a massage therapist and counsellor.
Customers can book a $90 an hour 'strictly cuddle' session, or pay $120 for a hugs and counselling session.
Ms O'Neill also offers a 'friendship style' coffee and cuddle session which costs $165 for an hour.
She says the majority of her customers are men over the age of 35, although there is a growing number of younger men and middle-aged female clients taking up her service.
