I'm Gwen, a documentary storyteller,creative director, and birth worker turned social worker specializing in psychedelic-assisted healing.
Experience
Creative Strategist & Sacred Keeper of Stories
I guide creatives and mission-driven leaders to their own narratives: whether you're building a movement, launching a project, or translating your vision into compelling digital content. Drawing from over a decade in photography and video production, political and legal advocacy campaigns, and documentary filmmaking, I support connecting your inner knowing to your outer expression. I specialize in digital communications strategy that honors authenticity, brand development that avoids AI, and creative direction that serves your work while reaching your intended audiences and goals.
Care Practitioner & Spiritual Doula
My gift is holding space at life’s thresholds, the moments when old stories give way to new ones. As a trauma-informed meditation guide and MSW candidate at Columbia University in the psychedelic-assisted therapy program, I offer support for those navigating transformation.
Whether you're metabolizing rage into creative power, reclaiming your voice, or integrating non-ordinary states of consciousness, I work with art, somatics, and contemplative practice to help you remember what your body already knows. This medicine is for artists, women, weirdos, and those ready to break the cycles of generational harm.
All sessions are virtual and trauma-informed.
