From The Moon's Eyes: Embodied Photo Session Offerings

 

I. A foundation: To support your work as creative, healing arts + alternative medicine practitioner, and beyond.

 

A good choice for self-employed folks. I have worked with yoga + meditation teachers, therapists, traditional chinese medicine doctors, dancers, actors, sex workers, artists, and more.

 

This offering bolsters the flourishing of your work through a unique lens. 

​

II. A ritual: A shedding of layers + a shift in perspective. 

 

An offering of embodied liberation, stemming from a trinity of my personal practices: meditation, portraiture, and the plant-medicine called sananga. 

​

We open and close with guided meditation, continue into the portrait session, and end with optional administration of sananga (more on this below). 

 

Self portraiture has been a portal to self-discovery, emotional expression, and self-acceptance for me since age 9. A way of a way of coming into the body, moving and releasing emotions, and seeing myself clearly: as someone who feels very deeply, this practice and ritual saved my life.

 

This naturally evolved into photographing others, and people began telling me how transformative being seen in a non-judgmental way was for them. "You help me feel like I can un-hide every little thing, and still be so loved." 

 

Nude portraiture helped me heal from eating disorders + body dysmorphia, becoming a way of seeing clearly the miracle of the body in all of its phases and forms. ​It is optional to choose nudity. This offering can be equally as powerful while wearing something that expresses your essence and makes you feel amazing!

​

Sananga: In a world obsessed with comfort + control, Sananga demands something radical; surrender through the eye. The eyes are powerful gates of perception, often clouded by emotional residue and inherited belief systems. 

 

Clear vision is essential. When the eyes become clouded, when energy becomes stagnant, or when one’s inner direction feels lost, healers turn to Sananga: a sacred eye medicine prepared from the roots of the Tabernaemontana undulata plant. 

​

Sananga is a liquid eye drop used by Indigenous tribes such as the Yawanawá, Katukina, and Nukini. It is made by grating and soaking the roots and bark of Tabernaemontana undulata, a jungle shrub with potent energetic and medicinal properties.

 

The mixture is strained into a sacred liquid and stored with care. The experience is often intense—stinging, clearing, and emotionally activating. But the shift in perspective can be dramatic. ​

 

Applied directly to the eyes, Sananga clears both physical and spiritual sight. It dissolves energetic congestion, awakens internal vision, and restores focus—bringing the spirit back into alignment with clarity and direction. 

​

What does sananaga support?

Sananga offers deep recalibration and cleansing when used intentionally. It is known to:

​

• Clear spiritual and emotional stagnation
   

• Enhance inner and outer vision—both physical eyesight and intuitive awareness
   

• Reset the nervous system—offering calm and energetic regulation
   

• Realign with truth during periods of confusion or overwhelm

​

To me, sananga is a master plant teacher, a doctor of the jungle which has helped remove layers of illusion + reveal a timeless essence adorned with alignment, integrity, + openness.

 

I am grateful to Tasha Mae, a friend + teacher who guided me in working with this medicine. 

​

This ritualistic offering is an exploration into deep perspective shift: reach out with further inquiries.
