The great wild STUDIO

Broadly, this is about attuning to the great wilderness of our bodies to positively impact our sense of health and wellbeing.

Specifically, this is a place to share thoughts and research on eco-kinetic approaches to therapy, and a space to explore traditional, alternative, and evidence-based healing modalities.

Hi! I’m Mila V, founder of The Great Wild Studio (here with my canine kin Nixie). I’m here to share my research and practices in Somatics, Dance/Movement Therapy, and Body Studies.

Hi! I’m Mila V, founder of The Great Wild Studio. I’m here to share creative and alchemical practices that inspire and heal.

Mila is a qualifying Dance/Movement Therapist with the American Dance Therapy Association and an endorsed practitioner of the Boston Children’s Foundation attunement program called Rainbowdance. She believes in the psychotherapeutic use of creative, relational, embodied movement to promote the emotional, social, cognitive, and physical integration of self. She often make or recommend custom tools, blends, massages, and wildcrafted remedies for clients she is working with to support sensorimotor connections and expand possibilities for regulation and is grateful for these land and body based medicines. You can find out more about her approach and how to book time with her here.

Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul’s weather to all who can read it.
— Martha Graham

Mila is also an intimacy professional supporting and developing consent-forward and trauma-informed processes with artists working on sexually charged scenes for stage, film & television.
