Tolu (she/her) is a London based IPA-Certified Intimacy Coordinator with a creative background that centres the body. Along with her artistic practice and 15 years of experience as a dancer she has a BSc(Hons) in Psychology and 350 hours of Yoga Teach Training; approaching intimacy work from an interdisciplinary lens as a queer Black woman.  
Tolu has been a member of the House of Revlon in the UK Ballroom Community since 2017, where she is affectionately known as Honey Revlon, a prominent figure for walking the cater gory ‘Sex Siren’.  Through walking this category over the years she has learned to embrace it as a strong tool for reclaiming sexual power and agency, which combined with her other areas of expertise, inspired her to train as an Intimacy Coordinator.

Tolu  puts  agency, comfort and creativity at the centre of her process, she supports directors with their artistic vision by offering creative possibilities for intimacy on screen while her natural sense of advocacy lends itself to building a rapport with performers, helping them to establish clear working boundaries.
