Proud to be one of only 32 US Intimacy coordinators accredited by SAG-AFTRA. I specialize in Intimacy Coordination for Film and Television.

Groundbreaking
This is the ground floor of a new crew position. The entertainment community has spoken out, and I am responding to a demand in the industry for change. Affirmative consent is a critical component of a safe workplace environment for actors performing hyper-exposed work. I am here to address the needs and create opportunities for the critical conversations that are the difference between actors walking away happy and feeling angry or exploited.
My experience gives me a passion for protecting artists at work. My background and training gives me the creative skills to construct options to present to the director or to work with the director to achieve their vision with consenting talent.
