​
As an Intimacy Professional, I am a movement director, a liaison between actors and production, a supporting artist for directors, and an advocate for actors for scenes involving nudity, simulated sex, or hyperexposure.
I have the ability to facilitate conversation, knowledge of tools to aid in the comfort of everyone on set, and a deep understanding of intimate storytelling. My movement background, Mental Health First Aid Training, and extensive knowledge of modesty garments, and clever camera/stage angles make me the perfect collaborator for your upcoming project!
​
Does your project include intimacy and are you unsure where to start?
I would love to collaborate with you,
My work on TEETH was featured in the
New York Times.

"with Jackson’s 'essential' guidance, [Steven Pasquale] added , 'we end up feeling safe and the audience thinks they end up seeing something very real, which is the success of it.'

"I find that intimacy direction offers me an opportunity to create space for people to be present in their whole selves. Ideally, the name of the game is creating a container where collaboration can happen that feels safe and supported for everyone involved. And that's really exciting and inspiring to me."
