I'm Gwen, a NYC-based birth + postpartum doula and storyteller with 20 years of experience in Academy Award–winning feature films, critically hailed documentary television, and viral online video, including video content which helped win the 2020 presidential race. Most recently, I led the video team for the Biden-Harris transition to the White House. I've also worked with TED Talks, Etsy, the Michael J. Fox Foundation, Frontline / PBS, Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and more.
In 2019, I completed Ancient Song Doula Services course to provide full spectrum doula support to all clients, including pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. Last year, I trained with DONA in postpartum doula work, certification coming soon. Addressing the maternal health crisis via storytelling is also a passion.
With a bachelor's in TV, Film, a master's in Humanitarian Action, a graduate certificate in environmental and occupational health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, I believe in evidence-based care and know where to find the most up-to-date information to support you. In honor of my father, I'm also a marathon runner for Team Fox and the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
