About Us

Daniella Cortese is the owner and operator of Many Moons. After studying psychology at Virginia Tech, she knew she wanted to work with people from all walks of life. Her path became clear after experiencing her first massage, where she discovered the profound impact of healing touch on both the body and the mind. Since beginning her practice in 2007, Daniella has honed her skills to provide each client with a personalized, tailored session.

In 2024, Daniella became certified in grief massage where she learned how to hold space and use gentle touch with people in acute stages of grief. She is grateful to be offering this healing modality for the Charlottesville community.
