About Me
Tolmie Greaves (she/her) is a certified Intimacy Coordinator (IC) and Mental Health Coordinator (MHC) in Vancouver, BC, on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, and Musqueam Nations. She has worked on a wide variety of commercials, music videos, shorts, and network TV series including Apple Studios Fire Bug, Paramount’s Happy Face, CBS’s Fire Country, Disney’s Under the Bridge and Showtime’s Emmy nominated series, Yellowjackets. Recent feature films include Catchlight studios, Shiver, and A24’s Eternity.
In both of her roles as an IC and an MHC, Tolmie relishes empowering performers by cultivating the safety and consent that makes their creativity and confidence thrive. She strives to build brave and open spaces for cast, crew, and production to collaborate in an empowered and informed practice. She works with production to ensure portrayals of mental health related themes are respectful and accurate and collaborates with cast and crew in developing personalized routes to safety throughout each stage of a project.
When working with simulated sex, nudity, or intimate content, she collaborates with actors to identify personal and physical boundaries and assist with choreography and movement. On set, she promotes and upholds professional standards to ensure the safety of all cast and crew and enhances efficiency by front loading communication so that everyone comes to set with boundaries established and a clear understanding of the context and director’s vision.
She excels at navigating interpersonal dynamics, recognizing trauma responses, and holding space. It’s her pleasure to facilitate the creation of safe spaces so actors and directors know the bounds in which they can create, explore, and play!
Tolmie gained her IC certification throughIntimacy Directors and Coordinators (IDC), a SAG-AFTRA accredited certification program in New York. She is one of the first Mental Health Coordinators in Canada, certified through The Association of Mental Health Coordinators and is now an active member of their leadership committees.
