Cybele Pelcher, RN
A registered nurse and licensed esthetician, I spent the last 21 years in dermatology providing treatment, education, and support to my patients. From the latest medical treatments to the newest alternative options, I provide insights into deciphering the most appropriate treatments for you.
Working as an advocate for my patients, I have helped hundreds of people, young and old with their chronic and acute health issues: from cystic acne and stress related rashes to pain or anxiety associated with surgery and other procedures.
Along with addressing specific presenting physical issues, I helps patients to recognize the less obvious road blocks that may be effecting their health which can include lifestyle issues, environmental factors and stress response. A list of my services include:
Classic Dr Hauschka Facial Treatment-
On the path to relaxation, this 2-hour session starts with a warm sage footbath followed by a light massage to the lower legs and feet. Lavender-infused compresses begin your holistic facial, which includes cleansing, steam and light extractions followed by two different mask treatments to nourish, nurture and renew the skin. Lymphatic stimulation is performed with soft brushes to stimulate the skin’s natural balancing and regenerative impulses. Massage of the arms, hands, neck and shoulders deepen the calming effects of the treatment resulting in a radiant complexion and a remarkable feeling of lightness and inner balance. This is an ideal treatment for those seeking true relaxation and transformation.
Clarifying Facial Treatment-
This 60-minute treatment is integral to restoring a healthy, radiant complexion. Dr Hauschka skincare products are used to cleanse the skin along with steam and extraction. An appropriate mask is chosen to best suit your skin needs. Gentle massage of the shoulders and neck relaxes the tension of the day. An appropriate moisturizer completes this effective treatment. Your skin feels soothed and purified and looks radiant. This treatment is customized to all skin types.
Facial with Manual Lymphatic Drainage-
The Clarifying facial treatment is accompanied by manual lymphatic drainage of the face and neck (90 minutes total). MLD is a treatment well known throughout Europe, having been developed in Austria by Dr. Vodder. It is often prescribed for patients undergoing any number of surgeries or as a restorative treatment for patients during rehabilitation. While MLD is exquisitely relaxing for most people, it is very effective in supporting the natural healing of injured or inflamed skin and tissue. By directing the lymph through the body using subtle movement, pain relief, reduction of uncomfortable nerve sensation and faster clearing of swelling are just some of the benefits experienced. Patients with inflammatory acne, rosacea, eczema or those hoping to improve healing with an upcoming or recent facial surgery will greatly benefit from this added treatment.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage focused session-
These 30-50 minute treatments can be used daily for reduction of some acute and chronic inflammation. When used in sequence, effects are most noticeable. Several sessions within a week are recommended prior to surgery, one to two days following surgery and for extreme acne conditions.
Dr Hauschka Body Treatment-
Using the Dr Hauschka body oils along with a special rhythmical method, this treatment is supremely relaxing. Encouraging lymphatic stimulation through gentle movement and the resulting calm to the sympathetic nervous system, the Dr. Hauschka Body treatment allows your body and mind to reconnect on a subtle level. The meditative quality of this treatment supports release and a holiday from the stress of daily living. 90 minutes
Mind-body intervention session-
Learn how to access a calmer, more relaxed state with breathing exercises, focused attention, guided imagery and hypnosis techniques. Depending on your experience and comfort level we will explore the various tools to connect the mind and body on a deeper level, to enhance healing, relaxation and inner harmony. Medical challenges (fertility, chronic illness and surgery), skin-related conditions and concerns, anxiety and daily stress are areas of particular interest. 60 minutes
