As Canada's first-ever intimacy coordinator, Somers helps TV actors get comfortable with getting frisky

I overheard a crew discussing how they were going to shoot between a performer’s legs during a labour-and-delivery scene. I thought about asking, “Do you mind if we see if that works for her?” I witnessed a lot of situations where I wished I’d spoken up.as Canada’s first ever intimacy coordinator. I started my company, Intimacy Coordinators Canada, that same week. We created a set of protocols that outlines expectations during filming, and it’s now being used on sets across the country.

Rehearsals on location—and with proper wardrobe and props—are beneficial, especially for complicated scenes. We can add the smallest choreographed detail, like releasing a breath. And if someone removes consent on shoot day, we respect that and we pivot.Memory foam is a big one; we add padding around genitalia for desensitization reasons. Our on-set kit also includes hygiene products, like mouthwash, mints and deodorant—all ofI’ve been wearing black on set for a few years now.
