Megan Wong, Intimacy Director and Coordinator

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).

She has trained in intimacy internationally with organizations including Intimacy for Stage and Screen (UK), Theatrical Intimacy Education (USA), and Principal Intimacy Professionals (Canada). Select working credits include Superman & Lois (CW), Reginald the Vampire (Syfy), Selma Burke (Theatre Calgary) and Seventeen (Western Gold Theatre).

Megan has consulted and instructed internationally as an intimacy professional at conferences (GMIC 2023, ICIC 2024), in IP training programs (PIP Canada, KIS Australia), and as a university guest lecturer (University of Victoria, Kristiania University). She believes in collaborative, process-based art and finds beauty and excitement in the unique circumstances of all her collaborators.

Her professional approach is as a needs-based practitioner. Influenced by the psychology of interpersonal relationships, this stems from the philosophy that difficulties predominantly come from needs (basic, social, or psychological) that are not being met. Once that need is identified, Megan aims to help meet it within a professional capacity and move forward with care and compassion.

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. 

Megan is available for consultation on intimacy coordination, cultural wellness, consent centred education and infrastructures, and anti-violence/ gender based violence work.
