My name is Celina Lee Surniak (she/her/hers). I am an Intimacy Coordinator based out of Los Angeles. I am also a stunt coordinator, who has been working in the industry for a decade. I specialize in physical storytelling that is collaborative and consent based. I love creating beautiful stories with bodies and making sure that everyone involved feels happy, comfy and safe.
