This Summer, I had the honor of being able to support Mental Wellness & Safety in so many ways.
I have deep gratitude for these opportunities:
- Mental Wellness & Artist Support for Cast & Crew of the Island Summer Theatre Festival (Robin Hood & As You Like It)
- Intimacy Director for a new play, The First to Stand at the 2025 Nanaimo Fringe Festival
- Mental Wellness & Artist Safety Coach for June 19/2025, Discovery Series event at the Port Theatre.
As I move closer towards completing my certification, continued contracts & training.
I want to take a moment to thank one of my mentors, Megan Wong.
Megan Wong (she/they) is a queer, neurodiverse, Chinese-Canadian Intimacy Professional (Certified through Principal Intimacy Professionals) working primarily in the Pacific Northwest, residing on the stolen lands of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples and the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations (Victoria, BC).
Megan’s primary artistic background includes classical ballet, movement theatre, and psychology (B.A.).
She is also a practicing sexual assault support worker and former inclusive educator and incorporates skills from those disciplines into her practice from a trauma-informed lens. To them, trauma-informed work honours privacy, compassion, and agency to create a safe space for those she works with.
In addition to intimacy coordination, Megan offers mental wellness support, specializing in BIPOC productions (specialty: Asian/ Chinese projects). As a cultural wellness facilitator, she highlights the importance of culturally appropriate working spaces, focusing on trauma-informed care, effects of complex trauma, and racialized joy to facilitate a confident space for racialized performers to do their best work.
