About Hugga Bear

After having careers in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, the one common factor that has always shown a positive result was affection. Patients that suffered from ailments across the spectrum (from Depression to Alzheimer’s, Autism to Anxiety), when given a hug, or some type of positive physical attention, showed relief. When a hug is needed, Hugga-Bear provides therapeutic comfort.

My mission is to build a community, of understanding and a sense of unity so that no one feels alone. I want to share with the world the power of compassion and love that is the heart of Hugga-Bear. He is NOT ‘'just a bear’'. Hugga-Bear is a representative; he is a family member, he is a friend, he is me and he is you. He is love, comfort, and security. Being there when you can’t physically be there. He replaces tears with smiles.
