Why work with me?
I am an internationally certified Intimacy Coordinator whose practice is built on significant, ongoing professional development that exceeds global certification standards. My approach is grounded in a structured, risk‑reduction framework informed by understanding of psychology safety and trauma support, combined with a professional background in dance/movement, education, and wellbeing.
I synthesise best‑practices from multiple leading industry bodies, to deliver processes to integrate smoothly into your stage and screen production schedules, supporting cast, crew, and creative goals.
Essentially, you get nuanced, adaptable, industry‑aligned support for everyone involved in intimate storytelling while maintaining robust, evidence‑based risk‑reduction practices.
Cindy - pure professionalism and an overwhelming amount of support and enthusiasm. She was a seamless addition to our set. Her direction to all parties was clear, considered, and calm.

With ‘Hair' being such an intimate show, Ambridge clearly created good direction and a safe environment for the actors.
Review | Theatre Haus
Everyone is navigating intimacy in new ways , but 'time is money' will always be a thing.
Time is of the essence on any production. Through well-structured intimacy coordination, intimate scenes are created efficiently with creative integrity intact. Clear communication and risk-aware collaboration support both performers and the wider production team, reducing delays, minimising reshoots, and maintaining continuity.
Performer boundaries—and the needs of the crew—are established from the outset, whilst the vision and intent are fully supported. The result is a smooth, on-schedule production that upholds the highest standards of professional intimacy coordination.
