What People are Saying…

“I worked with Daniela during deep quarantine from the COVID-19 outbreak and following the murder of George Floyd here in Minneapolis. We had to do everything via zoom to stay safe but my sessions were a calming, supportive space where I could simply be and return to my body after so much disruption. Daniela has a gentle yet effective practice which brought me into deeper awareness of my own body/womb and what it is trying to tell me. I am so grateful for the words of wisdom that have stuck with me for days, weeks and months since then!”

MSV Services are Rooted in Social Justice, Aimed at Decolonization

Whether you are a business or an individual, all services will be rendered from a healing 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!
