Megan Wong (she/they) is a queer, neurodiverse, Chinese-Canadian Intimacy Professional working primarily in the Pacific Northwest residing on the stolen lands of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples, and the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations (Victoria, BC).
She has trained in intimacy internationally with organizations including Intimacy for Stage and Screen (UK), Theatrical Intimacy Education (USA), and Principal Intimacy Professionals (Canada) and is a committee member of the National Society of Intimacy Professionals.
Megan has consulted internationally as an IP and aims to support young and neurodiverse performers in their needs on stage and screen. She believes in collaborative, process-based art and finds beauty and excitement in the unique circumstance of all her performers.
Her approach to intimacy is as a needs-based practitioner. Influenced by the psychology of interpersonal relationships, this stems from the philosophy that difficulties predominantly come from needs (basic, social, or psychological) that are not being met. Once that need is identified, Megan aims to help meet it within a professional capacity and move forward with care and compassion.
Megan’s primary background includes classical ballet, movement theatre, and psychology (B.A.). She is also a practicing special educator and sexual assault support worker and incorporates skills from those disciplines into her practice from a trauma-informed lens. To them, trauma-informed work honors privacy, compassion, and autonomy to create a safe space for those she works with.
Megan is available for cultural wellness support for BIPOC productions (specialty: Asian/ Chinese projects). As a cultural wellness facilitator, she highlights the importance of culturally appropriate working spaces, focusing on trauma-informed care, complex trauma, and racialized joy and facilitates a confident space for racialized performers to do their best work.
