Reserve Your Spot“Melissa’s photos are galactic artworks! Through her sensitivity and her artistic talent, Melissa manages to capture and transport the essence of a human being. I have never felt so seen and appreciated. Melissa made it possible to reflect my soul in her artwork. I’m already looking forward to my next shoot with Melissa! If you want to capture your deep self, your essence thru photography, then you have to book a shooting with this beam of light!”
“I’ve never worked with a facilitator who provides so much support. The energy of the session was different. I've never felt so comfortable and at home in my body. She helped me to appreciate the moment and joy we were in. I admire her ability to be professional yet help lighten up and have fun. She truly captured my joy and magic. Since our session every time I look at the photos it is a beautiful experience to re-live. Each and every time I share a photo I am so proud and grateful. She helped me feel at home in my vessel. This session was one of the best things I ever did for myself and I highly recommend it!”
"Melissa Robin is one of those gems of a facilitator that has the rare gift of making you feel embodied, confident, and at ease. I am incredibly grateful that she was able to so artistically and professionally capture how beautiful I felt in my body and soul, through her Goddess Session. I truly felt sexy ~ and through her guidance, ready to share my empowered soul with the world. Now, seeing the edited photos, it brings me such joy and awe to see myself glowing with love! Thank you Melissa Robin!"
I understand the struggle of self-acceptance; as a person who has body dysmorphia and experienced mental illness, I know how difficult it is to relax and express yourself fully in front of a camera. Integrating nature-based somatic practices, meditation, and rituals will bring clarity, insight, and energy to your system. The photo session becomes the path to your transformation. As a Temple Body Facilitator I’m here to support you on your journey and document the process to provide you with powerful reminders(photographs) that you can use to tap into your divine power in the future.

Working with the moon in your photo session has many powerful benefits. Whether you are looking to embody a new aspect of self or honor a culminating life moment, the moon will guide you in feeling infinitely resourced and supported in being seen as your fully expressed self. Some benefits of the Moon Ritual Session include
A deeper connection to nature and the moon cycles.
Increased confidence to express and be seen in your fullness.
Experiencing your joy, power, and sensuality through sacred rituals.
I understand the struggle of self-acceptance; as a person with body dysmorphia and experienced mental illness, I know how difficult it is to trust and express yourself fully and be SEEN. When I started integrating nature-based somatic practices, meditation, and moon ritual work into my daily self-care, I experienced a profound shift in my confidence and trust in the natural rhythms of life. Tuning into something larger than me, like the cosmos, supported me in knowing I am held, and it is safe to be seen. Now I align my work and life with the moon's cycles, including my moon cycle, to feel confident and relaxed throughout my day. During your Moon Ritual Session, I am here to support you along with the power of the moon to find the confidence to express yourself fully too.
Book your session to reserve your space! There are only 8 sessions available per year so they will book up!
We meet at your chosen location at sunset for a ritual of cacao, somatic movement, and your photo session.
After the session, you’ll select your moon goddess photographs. Each one will be a hand-edited work of art for you to look back on and remind you of how powerful you are… just like the moon.
A New Moon invites us to focus on new beginnings while a Full Moon gives power to letting go and completion.
