Arielle Zadok

Arielle (she/her) is an intimacy coordinator and certified sex educator who brings with her 18+ years working in the film, television and advertising industries as a producer and assistant director prior to shifting her focus to intimacy work. Before starting her intimacy coordinator certification through Intimacy Professionals Association (IPA), and obtaining a Consent Forward Artist Certificate though Intimacy Directors and Coordinators (IDC), she was in a leadership position at The Walt Disney Company and ABC Signature Studios, supporting the Television Physical and Post Production Departments in returning to work and navigating production throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Arielle is known for her people-centered approach in advocating for safe working environments that support the director’s creative vision, her infectious positive energy, and her ability to work with high profile talent and executives in high stress, emotionally charged, time sensitive situations. She has had specialized training in trauma-informed care, emotional intelligence, de-escalation, sexual harassment, kink & BDSM, working with minors, sex with aging, sex and disabilities, diversity & inclusion and movement. She holds a sex educator certification through Everyone Deserves Sex Ed and is currently obtaining an additional certification through the Modern Sex Therapy Institute and is under the supervision of Logan Levkoff, PhD. She also holds a Certification in Holistic Health Coaching from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Arielle hosts a weekly podcast titled ‘Birds & Bees Don’t Fck’ where she talks to comedians and sexuality professionals about their formative sex education (or lack thereof). You can get it wherever you listen to podcasts.

In addition to her work in sexuality and entertainment, Arielle is the Los Angeles organizer and host of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Drive, an annual global fundraiser for Movember. Since the inaugural drive in 2021, the Los Angeles Community alone has raised over $35,000 for men’s mental health, suicide prevention, testicular cancer, and prostate cancer research. If you would like to know more about Movember, The Distinguished Gentleman’s Drive or The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, she would love to connect.
