Daniela Romero Montoya-Barthelemy

is a queer Chicana from a small town in northern New Mexico. Her business, Mama Sin Vergüenza, was birthed from her experiences becoming a mother and reconnecting with her ancestral medicine. The services offered reflect her gifts in balancing public health research with holistic modalities of care. Mexican Traditional Medicine and Somatic Experiencing practices have become the twin pillars of her own healing practices as well as her offerings to others. As a consejera, she supports gente navigating the life and death cycles of sexual health, reproductive health, and trauma transmutation.

MSV Services are Rooted in Social Justice, Aimed at Decolonization

Whether you are a business or an individual, all services will be rendered from an evolving social justice framework that centers the experiences of Black people, Indigenous People and all People of Color (BIPOC). This includes those who identify as Latinx, Hispanic, and Chicano. The experiences of those who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Two Spirit, and more (LGBTQIA2S+) are also centered within MSV’s offerings. Through this lens, Daniela works toward the decolonization of sexual and reproductive health. This framework will be evident in everything from the structure to the content of our work together. If you would like to know more about how this applies to the services you are interested in, please reach out!
