Cuddle therapist is accused of sexual misconduct after her NIPPLE ended up in a woman's mouth
A professional cuddle therapist has been accused of sexual misconduct after her nipple ended up in a client's mouth for five minutes.
Susanne Woodward, a qualified masseuse from Tempe, Arizona, charges $80 for cuddling sessions, a stress-relieving therapy which has boomed in recent years.
But Woodward, who claims she produces magic when she holds clients, was reported to the Arizona State Board of Massage after nude sessions in April.
Woodward had four sessions with the client who expressed a desire for nudity so the therapist could help her with sexual trauma.

According to ABC 15, the complainant said: 'I told her it has always been my dream to be held naked by a woman.'
Woodward said she could do so but the complainant alleged she was told to keep it quiet.
On their fourth session the women got undressed and Woodward allegedly invited the client to rest her head on her breasts.
'She then told me to suck her nipple,' the woman told the Arizona Republic, and the therapist told her, 'I am channeling nurturing energy to you through my breast.'
Woodward claims it was the client who initiated the mouth-to-breast contact and it was entirely consensual.
She said the client thanked her for the sessions and seemed in good spirits afterwards.
The complainant said it was only after she got home from the final session she realized the 'severity' of what Woodward had done.
The complainant had contacted Tempe police but they told her nothing illegal had happened.

Woodward's lawyer, Flynn Carey, successfully argued before the state massage board that Woodward had been acting in her cuddling capacity and therefore, it was not within the board's jurisdiction.
Woodward still has her massage license. She has been registered since 2008 and has had no prior complaints against her.
Arizona State Board of Massage ordered that she separate her websites for massage and cuddling therapies.
Cuddling therapy in Arizona, as in many other states, remains unregulated.
