Rev. Cyndy Mayer (Mom),  Sound Healing, Hypnosis and Art Therapy

Rev. Cyndy studied 25 years in an intentional spiritual community in the Pocono Mountains of PA where she mastered and taught the healing arts of energy transformation and mediumship to hundreds of students over the years.  One of those students was her daughter, Dr. Sera Balderston.  While she was pregnant with Sera, Rev. Cyndy was practicing the art of channeling angels through harp music.  This is why she wanted to name her daughter Seraphim.

Cyndy went on to study hypnosis graduating from Omni Hypnosis Training Center in Deland, FL.  She is a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, Inc.  She was ordained on 11-11-11 in St. John’s Church of Faith after years of study with the Metaphysical Universal Ministries in Allentown, PA.  Her latest accomplishment was becoming a certified vibroacoustic harp therapist with Sarajane Williams, the creator of the sound therapy harp healing modality known as VAHT.  Sound healing helps your mind, body and spirit attune with your natural state of harmony. Cyndy will tune the harp to your name or your birthday and play your song to your soul. This clears away any limitations on your path in life and anything keeping you from reaching your dreams.

Rani Mayer, Licensed Massage Therapist

A licensed massage therapist since 2006, Rani specializes in Neuromuscular massage, Myoskeletal Alignment, Lymphatic Drainage, and Cupping.
Neuromuscular therapy is a specialized form of deep tissue massage in which digital pressure and friction are used to release areas of strain in the muscle. This therapy is used to treat many different soft tissue problems including lower back pain, upper back pain, carpal tunnel like symptoms, sciatica like symptoms, hip pain, headaches, plantar fasciitis, calf cramps, tendonitis, knee pain, iliotibial band friction syndrome, jaw pain and tempomandibular joint pain (TMJ disorders).
Myoskeletal alignment is a type of bodywork which blends the principles of osteopathy and structural integration to relieve chronic pain, and to reduce the potential for the emergence of pain which could become chronic over time.
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a type of gentle massage which is intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart. Many of us have stagnant lymph causing us to look bigger than we are. This is the easiest way to lose inches!

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a local suction is created on the skin to mobilize blood flow in order to promote healing. Great for detox, lung issues, and pain!

 

Rhi Light, Licensed Esthetician
Rhiannon’s passion for skin care and beauty has been there since the beginning.  Wanting to do what she loved, she became a licensed esthetician in 2003. Rhiannon worked at various day spas in southeast Florida in her early career, but knew she wanted more than the fluff and foof.

After several years of living in Jacksonville and Tampa, she moved to Sarasota but shortly found herself faced with a late stage, metastatic cancer diagnosis.  Rhiannon decided to take the path less traveled and healed her body with nutrition and natural therapies without the use of chemo nor radiation. This opened up a whole new passion for Rhi.  She went on to study Holistic Nutrition so she could share with others and has been a practicing Holistic Nutrition and Wellness Coach since graduation in 2014.

Rhi believes that health comes from within and so does beautiful skin.

In addition, she understands that applying mind/body techniques to balance and calm our busy brains helps us to glow.  Rhiannon is also a Reiki II practitioner and uses energy healing in her appointments upon request.

Now, armed with a strong passion to merge Skin Health, Nutrition, MindBody, and the Newest, Non-Invasive Technologies, she is very proud and excited to be part of the team at Point Lumineux.   Come see her for your skin, leave feeling like a friend.
