"It was such a joy and a relief to have Christina on set to support our cast and crew. Shooting sensitive scenes is always a challenge, but having Christina there made the process easier, more transparent, and more comfortable. She was always present without feeling overbearing or heavy handed, and she comes to the job with a sense of warmth, humor, and grace. Intimacy is a part of life, and to be able to explore it safely and comfortably is a privilege. Christina helped make that happen! Thank you!"

DEVIL IN DISGUISE
"Working with Christina was an absolute joy. She discussed with everyone their individual boundaries and comfort levels and then facilitated communication between everyone in the most empowering way. I had never worked with an IC before and because of Christina, I will never not work with an IC again. Her input was invaluable and I can’t wait to work with her again."

Project: INTIMACY WORKS ~ CULLBERG
"Thank you for existing in the space that you do. I am immensely grateful. IMMENSELY! Because of the work you do, and your professional, connected, gentle, patient and knowledgeable approach, I am able to walk away from this project and role feeling positive with a great sense of accomplishment! The scenes you helped us navigate through could have gone differently and spoiled this experience for me but I am certain that your presence and guidance on set allowed me to feel as clear headed about the work I did as I do now. I hope to work with you again (and will advocate for it at any chance I get). Until the next time.. stay wonderful."
L.A. Sweeney Actress
Project: LAST RESORT
"Christina had a set of protocols to check in on the actor’s boundaries before we filmed. She also coordinated the blocking and supervised each shot. The actors repeatedly let me know how grateful they were for Christina's empathy and expertise throughout the process. Everyone felt safe and comfortable which allowed us to have a lot of fun capturing some beautiful and hilarious moments for our film."
Ivana Strajin Director
Project: UNHINGED
"Christina is such a pleasure to work with. She takes her job very seriously, and goes above and beyond to make sure that talent is not only safe, but also very comfortable. She’s also such a joy to work with for both talent and the studio. Can’t wait to work with her again!"

Project: ORPHAN BLACK ECHOES
"I hold safety, mental health, open communication and honesty at the highest level on my sets. Christina gave me all of this plus more. She listened, watched and anticipated needs that I may have overlooked. Her care and passion was indicated in the way she spoke and held space for others. The ways in which her suggestions were communicated allowed me to feel respected and cared for. Her background and experience gave me the confidence that she could navigate a moment or scene with options the cast/crew would be comfortable with. Christina will be one of the first people I hire on my next project as I now know her involvement from the beginning is invaluable."
