Intimacy Coordinator
8 hrs | Inquire via EmailWhat if someone behind the scenes could transform your production from within, subtly aligning the energy, well-being, and collaborative spirit of the entire cast and crew?
With over 30 years of experience and a Ph.D., I bring a uniquely rich perspective to the role of Intimacy Coordinator and Wellness Therapy Consultant within the film and television industry. My background working alongside renowned figures in the arts combines artistic depth with profound therapeutic insight, making me anything but a newcomer. I am deeply attuned to the unspoken challenges of production—the demands, the tensions, and the intense emotional toll often obscured by the industry's glamour.
My approach is both holistic and practical, designed to integrate wellness and therapeutic support seamlessly into the fast-paced environment of production. I work to safeguard the mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of every individual on set, from addressing preemptive concerns to creating gentle, supportive interactions that resolve underlying anxieties. The result? A production space that is not only efficient but also cohesive, nurturing, and equipped to foster true connection among its people. In today’s heightened climate of awareness around well-being, this work doesn’t just enhance performance; it elevates the entire set experience.
Let’s bring wellness to the forefront, supporting every cast and crew member as valued, empowered, and fully present contributors to the creative journey.

Experience the highest level of psychiatric support, led by our board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). After a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, you’ll receive individualized care that may include expert medication management as part of your customized treatment plan.
For New Medications: Proactive, Compassionate Care
Starting a new medication can feel like a big step, and for those who are new to psychiatric medications, frequent monitoring is key to comfort and safety. Within the first two weeks of starting a new prescription, we encourage a check-in to ensure you’re adjusting well and to address any initial concerns. After that, follow-up visits typically occur every four weeks, so we can carefully assess effectiveness, dosage, and any side effects, adjusting as needed to find the ideal therapeutic balance. Once your medication reaches its optimal dose and you’re experiencing minimal to no side effects, follow-ups can gradually be extended.
Our philosophy prioritizes safety and sensitivity, especially for those new to psychiatric medication. We begin with low doses, gradually increasing to allow your system to adapt comfortably—a strategy proven to support better outcomes and fewer side effects.

Our care includes specialized treatment for a wide range of conditions:
- ADHD and Mood Disorders: Comprehensive support for managing ADHD and mood disorders like bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety.

I am forever indebted for saving my son’s life and for inspiring me to begin my own holistic journey. It has been a few years, and my son is doing amazing. Since that time, I have brought my mother and younger son to meet Michele with the same miraculous results. She has healed my family on a deep spiritual level. She has saved my family’s lives and, in turn, saved mine. I am truly thankful for the gift of Michele Bell in my life. Her spiritual approach comes from her heart to heal . Her custom one-on-one wellness retreats are life changing.
Thank you so much, one session with my daughter Alexis changed her life. After losing her therapy dog she met her that next day. Thanks to you she was able to get through one of her biggest losses, you’re an inspiration. She is now healing others in nursing homes with her new puppy. I recommended Michele to one of my closest friends. She has been struggling with her teenager and suicide issues. I was so happy I did because she went on a wellness retreats. Bless you and all you do.
After five years of begging my daughter to get help, I found Michele under retreats for young adults. She immediately scheduled a session. I was nervous my baby girl would not go. I dropped her off and when I picked her up she said “Mom I’m ready”. Michele managed to talk my daughter into a 30-day program. The weeks ahead, Michele diligently interviewed 30 day facilities. Two weeks later, that morning she was packed and ready. The driver picked her up for a 6 hour drive to the facility. Forever grateful. My baby girl is back in college and loves her life.
Michele is the most inspirational woman I’ve ever met in my entire life! I am privileged and honored to call her one of my best friends. We both met going through the hardest times of our lives. It was heartbroken. She spoke words like an angel to ease my pain. I always feel better and uplifted after being around Michelle even if I’m not in a bad place that day. Michelle’s words are healing like a mother’s kiss on a cut. I would follow Michelle around the world to hear her speak absolutely love her.
I did some soul searching with Michele. She offered three day wellness retreats. All these years going to therapy Michele guided me back to LIVE in 3 days. She is one of the best intuitive life coaches out there, not to mention like the best person ever. Thank you for helping me on my journey. Her Cut the Cord ceremony allowed me to let go of the negativity and heart break that is trying to hold me back. You truly are amazing!
Michele Bell has inspired me, when my own son had returned from deployment with cancer. I was so scared and lost. She took me under her wing and walked me through the steps as a Cancer Mom. There for me every step of the way for the entire time he was in chemo until now. With her courage, love, and peace. She helped me become strong for him. What a gift she has given me. And to all of us who have crossed paths with this wonderful lady.
