Hello!
Ariel Leigh Cohen
Intimacy Coordinator
About Me!
A Rich Background in the Industry
Ariel Leigh Cohen is a certified Intimacy Coordinator (IDC) based in Los Angeles, known for her collaborative spirit and nuanced approach to choreographing vulnerability. Since relocating to LA in 2019, she’s found her true calling as an Intimacy Professional, committed to fostering creative environments where every intimate scene is handled with care, clarity, and cultural competence. Before stepping into intimacy work, Ariel spent seven years in New York City writing, directing, and producing original plays, and worked in Props for several Broadway shows in 2019. She made her film directorial debut in 2024 with Exhibition, a bold meditation on desire and disclosure. Her specialties include period pieces, queer intimacy, kink, DV/non-consensual dynamics, and comedic moments (because awkward, tender, and sexy often go hand in hand). Ariel offers professional, compassionate, and culturally sensitive guidance to ensure every moment of intimacy is safe, intentional, and unforgettable.
