ABOUT ME

I am a queer Intimacy Coordinator and Intimacy Director based in Tio'tia: ke, colonially known as Montreal. My training comes from an evolution of my experience as an actor. Having my BFA in theatre performance form Concordia University (2016) has given me embodied knowledge in the dramaturgy of movement and expression of the human body. Having worked as an actor in film, TV, voice and theatre for 10+ years I understand the range of personal creative processes actors use to approach their craft and how to work within those processes and work mindfully with impulses. I believe that story-telling should be sensorial and I enjoy creating from a place of curiosity and collaboration. 

​

My personal and professional curiosities about the intersection of sexuality and mental health brought me to the Institute of Somatic Sexology where in 2020 I completed my Embodied Counselling Certificate. Intimacy Coordination and Direction is the culmination of my passion for sensorial storytelling , movement based approaches to performance and advocacy for wellness.

​

I am in my final review for certification by Principal Intimacy Professionals one of Canada's leading industry groups of Intimacy Coordinators and hold over 200hrs of training from institutions such as IDC, TIE, NSIP and PIP.
