I'm Gwen, a documentary storyteller, creative director, and birth worker turned social worker specializing in psychedelic-assisted healing.
Experience
Creative Strategist & Story Weaver
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 the connection of your inner knowing to your outer expression. I specialize in digital strategy that honors authenticity, brand development that avoids AI, and creative direction that serves your work while reaching your intended audiences.
Care Practitioner & Spiritual Doula
My gift is holding space at life’s thresholds when old stories give way to new ones. As a trauma-informed meditation teacher, psychedelic integration coach, and MSW candidate from Columbia University, I offer support for those navigating deep transformation.
Whether you're metabolizing rage into creative power, reclaiming your rights, or integrating non-ordinary states of consciousness, I work with art, somatics, and contemplative practice to help you remember the answers your body already knows. My medicine is for artists, women, weirdos, and those ready to break the cycles of generational harm.
All sessions are virtual and trauma-informed.
