I help therapists, healers, and space-holders bring decolonial and liberatory values into their work—so you’re not just saying you’re aligned… you’re actually practicing it. ⬆️ More integrity, more connection, more liberation. ⬇️ Less burnout, less performative wokeness, less colonial residue. If you want a practice where marginalized clients feel safe, seen, and honored—and you want to feel more grounded and intentional in your work—subscribe and join a growing community of practitioners doing this work differently. You practice can be liberatory-- let's get you there!
Sharing books I’m reading

You’re receiving this pre-scheduled message while I’m deep in rest-mode (yes, actual rest; yes, again). Reader, This year I'm sharing books a little differently. Instead of forcing myself into the usual end-of-year productivity rituals, I’m honoring what my body and brain actually want:
If you screenshot the pic above, your smart phone should give you the option of converting the titles to text. What books are nourishing you right now? What’s shaping your thinking, your practice, your politics, your imagination? Hit reply and send me your list — even if it’s just one title, even if you’re halfway through, even if it’s a book you want to read but haven’t started yet. Your recommendations help me expand the worlds I read from. And I can’t wait to return from my break and read what moved you. With warmth, slowness, and a stack of books, Silvana ⬆️ Let's connect! |

January 2026 Reader, Let’s talk about licensure. The dark side of it...The felt version. This one is for any helper, healer, or space-holder who, after college or grad school, had to sit through a multi-hour, multi-question exam that measured (let’s be honest) your ability to memorize things. Not your presence.Not your ability to connect.Not your humanity.Not your capacity to feel, empathize, hold space, or stay with someone when things get messy. Just memory.And endurance. What does studying...
