“Strong boundaries allow us to take down the walls we’ve built to protect ourselves.”

Classes start with our heads. They are about language, systems, structures, and power dynamics.

I offer classes to all levels. Most are on Zoom, but I offer an In-Person in Los Angeles from time to time.

You will learn to think deeply and intuitively about power dynamics. You’ll begin to find the embodied sense of your boundaries. We’ll start to integrate and practice these skills so you can think on your feet.

My approach to consent is holistic and embodied. It takes into account the gut-brain axis, polyvagal theory, trauma, and neurodiversity.

Workshops - LIVE or RECORDED

I offer specified workshop for different groups. My recorded Practice Saying ‘No’ and Nonverbal Consent classes are available on Thinkific. I have a recorded class for directors and one for actors as well. Other classes include Boundaries + Consent + Masculinity, Boundaries + Your Business (available recorded), Boundaries + Consent for People Pleasers, Self-Advocacy, Consent Wizardry, and a class on The Rom Com. I offer an In-Person consent workshop from time to time in Los Angeles. You can see all my current LIVE class offerings here. If I’m not currently offering one that you want to take, I can offer it to a group that you organize (see below). I also offer groups rates for companies and organizations to use my recorded classes for staff on an ongoing basis. Contact me for pricing.

THE BASICS: Boundaries + Consent in 6 Parts - RECORDED

I recommend THE BASICS as a starting point to build your foundation. It’s for anyone who struggles to advocate for themselves, access their ‘no,’ find and communicate boundaries, feels pushed, bullied, or taken advantage of. This course is also for anyone who finds themselves not being fully transparent for fear of rejection, anyone who’s been told they are difficult to say ‘no’ to, or feels they’re not in touch with their desires and needs.

Your Group

“Mia’s class is a MUST for all actors! They teach you how to recognize your own boundaries, learn and respect the boundaries of others and teaches how to have a professional conversation about a sensitive topic. I left their workshop feeling empowered knowing that I can handle intimate scenes with confidence. Mia brings invaluable experience and knowledge that every actor, no matter where they are in their career, will want to possess.”
— Leale DeVerges

I offer 1 or 2-session workshops for groups of your choosing, whether it’s your office, your friend group, cis men or any other identity who would like to work together, and any other way you’d like to build a group. These are typically $100 per person with a 10 person minimum. If that’s prohibitive, I’m open to negotiation. I’ve done workshops on Burnout for interns, Intimacy for Actors at BGB Studio, Directing Intimacy, Writing Intimacy for TV, Saying No for Domestic Violence First Responders, and more. Email me with information about your group, the size, and a little about your goals and I’ll be in touch to schedule a meeting to discuss it further.

University + College Classes

If you want me to guest teach or host an event at your school, you can contact Sean Lawton at Collective Speakers. I’ve taught a Directing class at UCLA, a Producing class at George Mason, a consent class for actors at USC, and more.
