The Sacred Passage is an all inclusive package that embodies the entire journey. From an intimate maternity experience, full birth coverage, and an embodied postpartum experience. All centered around you and the many versions you experience from maiden to mother.

Why all three?

Recently I had the opportunity to work with a mother from pregnancy to postpartum. During that experience I realized how much of the story was missing when I just document the birth. Not only that, but our relationship begins with your maternity session versus starting in your birthing space. And with the postpartum experience, I get to close to circle, give your story an ending (really, it's just the next beginning, but you know what I mean.)
