About Me

Hi there, thanks for stopping by! My name is Alina, and my pronouns are she/they. I’m an award-receiving Intimacy Professional who has been helping to craft authentic intimate moments for theatre and film productions since 2022. I’m also a Sex and Pleasure Educator, having completed the Sexual Health Educator Certification course through Options for Sexual Health. I love being part of creating consent-forward rehearsal spaces and sets, and I bring an artist-forward approach to all my work. With my well-rounded background in arts and entertainment, my humorous and fun personality, and my passion for all things sex and consent, I’m ready and excited to collaborate with you!

  • "Having someone like Alina, who steps onto each and every project with such love, care, and passion for what she does, makes for a consistently seamless and memorable experience. "

  • "I felt like I could voice any boundaries I felt needed to be re-established and most of all I felt comfortable enough to reach my full potential as a performer because I had someone advocating for me."

  • "She was very helpful in guiding me through the process as a first time director shooting intimate scenes. I could not have done such a challenging film without her."

  • "As an emerging performer, Alina made me feel exceptionally comfortable and heard in the intimacy rehearsals - which is a space I haven't always felt safe in. "

  • "I found her/them to be incredibly knowledgeable and appreciated her/their presenting both familiar & new information in a dynamic way. My approach to intimacy has always been to enquire about others' safety and their consent - I hadn't ever considered my own."

  • "Her passion for the storytelling and desire to be authentic whilst keeping open lines of communication throughout the process is unmatched."

  • "I found Alina to be a valuable, sensitive, and encouraging collaborator, with insights that helped shape our show and added a layer of intelligence to our storytelling that went way beyond the title of ‘intimacy coordinator’. "

  • "Alina is a master at creating a safe, positive, and collaborative room."

  • "She creates a rehearsal environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and supported, which allows artists to do their best work and fully focus on the storytelling. "
