FOR STAGE + SCREEN
Mental Health Coordination and Intimacy Coordination, supporting safer, more collaborative spaces.
It was a delightful experience having Amanda be the intimacy coordinator for my show ZARYN. She is thoughtful, provided excellent resources, and her priority of making sure the actors were comfortable, aware of themselves and scene partners was incredible to watch. I learned a lot from her.
Amanda not only cares about how you feel throughout intimate scenes, but any scenes that may be difficult and emotionally draining. She made the entire cast and crew feel safe, cared for, and heard, and it was an absolute honor to work with her!
Safer Sets + Safer Stages + Safer Storytelling
Creative work can ask people to enter vulnerable, emotionally demanding, and deeply human territory. The goal isn’t to remove those risks. It’s to build better conditions in which people can take them.
Amanda’s work brings together mental health expertise, nervous system awareness, advocacy, choreography, and firsthand performance experience to support both the people making the story and the story itself.
Ways to Work With Me
Supporting thoughtful, collaborative, and psychologically informed practices across film, television, and theatre.
Intimacy Coordination
Intimate content deserves the same thoughtful planning and choreography as any other physically demanding scene. Amanda works with actors, directors, and production teams to establish boundaries, facilitate communication, choreograph intimate content, and support creative choices without sacrificing safety or agency.
Mental Health Coordination
Mental Health Coordination brings proactive mental health support into the production process, helping teams navigate stress and conflict and supporting cast and crew well-being. Amanda works with production teams to create conditions where people feel supported while doing demanding creative work.
