Hi Everyone!
I am an Intimacy Coordinator, Mental Health Coordinator and Life Coach that leads a support group for actors recovering from industry trauma experiences and individuals suffering from negative body image and self worth. I have two decades of experience as an actor and performer in various arts disciplines including Film, Television, Commercials, Live Theatre, Online Performances, Improv, Stand-Up Comedy, Hosting and Podcasting.
My education and professional background includes training in Intimacy Direction and Coordination for the Performing Arts, Coaching and Facilitation, Bystander Intervention, Conflict Resolution, Boundaries and Consent practices, Laban Movement, Size and Diversity Inclusivity, Socio-Cultural Understanding, Psychological and Mental Health First Aid, COVID-19 Safe Sets and Pandemic Awareness, Havening techniques, and Mindfulness Skills.
As an actor who has experienced first hand the harm that can be done to your mental well being while working in the industry, I hope to be able to foster a safer environment on set and to protect the well being of everyone involved, both cast and crew. I believe that we each have an opportunity and responsibility to stand up for ourselves and our colleagues by requesting a Mental Health Coordinator and an Intimacy Coordinator, where necessary, be brought into the production. Now more then ever, we need to support the mental health of everyone so we can continue making movie magic happen.
