Intimacy Coordination
As an Intimacy Coordinator, my greatest intention is to educate and advocate for all sexual expressions, identities, and experiences with the goal of diversifying representation in mainstream media. My hope is to empower audiences to discover and explore freedom in their sexual expression and identity.
Through pursuing my passions, I have cultivated a curated skill set in:
-
Sex and body neutrality and positivity
-
Gender identities and Expressions
-
Boundaries and Consent
-
Assertiveness Skills
-
Non-Monogamy and Open Relationships
-
Compassionate Communication
-
Clothing and Intimacy
-
Kink/BDSM, specifically Shibari Rope Bondage and Alternative Sexual Lifestyles.
I bring insight and expertise to supporting accurate representations of diverse sexual expressions in mainstream media.

I confidently advocate for actors in a way that mitigates conflict and supports clear, efficient communication between cast and crew. I engage with actors and industry professionals on a personal and empathetic level.
I bring innovation to the creation of modesty garments and methods for clothing removal, evolving from my extensive costuming and wardrobe background.
I offer a vast curation of contacts, resources, tools, and techniques for normalizing and destigmatizing sex and sexuality, as well as training in communication from diverse sources. I offer a broad insight into many aspects of intimacy, from the biomechanics and normalization of sex to human connection and communication.
