“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.

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!”

How I met my inner goddess

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 and be SEEN. Integrating nature-based somatic practices, meditation, and rituals will bring clarity, insight, and energy to your system. The goddess experience 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 that you can use to tap into your divine power in the future.

MAGIC OF MOON RITUAL SESSIONS

WHY THE MOON?

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.

HOW I MET THE MOON GODDESS.

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.

"This was my 50th birthday present to myself! I was trying to rediscover who I was. The start with the womb ceremony and intentions as really exceptional. The whole day was truly special from the playlists, getting ready, the beautiful cacao ceremony before we started the photo session. Everything was wonderful and a great was for me to as the goddess you as reinformed me that I am.”
– Amelia
