I’m a intimacy coordinator and consultant invested in the safety and quality of intimacy coordination on film sets.
My mission is to facilitate collaboration between actors, crew, and directors to maintain a physically, emotionally, and mentally tended to environment on set.

My personal Intimacy Coordinator tasks include but are not limited to: pre and post shooting conversations with the actors and crew around physical and emotional comfort before, during, and after intimate scenes; I enthusiastically act as an ally and consultant with the LGBTQ and sex working communities; I act as a liaison between actors, director, and crew to negotiate best practices during filming in order to ensure both the boundaries of actors and the integrity of the piece is well intact. The best outcome of a project is hinged upon performers being able to perform at their highest comfort level to allow their magic to shine.

What is an Intimacy Coordinator?
Intimacy coordination on set looks quite similar to other positions on set. We act as a facilitator to support a comfortable container for various types of intimate scenes, just like a stunt coordinator curates and supports physically protective environments for stunt scenes. Hiring an intimacy coordinator indicates to your actors, crew members, and investors that you are dedicated to a responsible production.
