Actors want to make intimate scenes that matter. That hold meaning and support the higher artistic vision. That are made with respect for their personal boundaries and their professional contributions. 

Directors want to be brave. They hold a vision - and a responsibility - but understandably often feel they lack the tools, language and confidence to navigate this duality efficiently. 

As an intimacy coordinator I help you establish healthy working relationships, clear agreements and a shared language, as well as structuring the intimacy work to secure trust and safety throughout the process.

No two projects are the same, so a collaboration with me will always be customized to your specific needs.

We need honest,

brave & diverse
intimate scenes
