Cheryl Kanner was born and reared in The Bronx, New York. In 1981, she was initiated into ActualDesign Lightwork, which amazed her, shifted her approach to life and opened her awareness to experiencing her own Lighted Beingness. After eventually settling in Laguna Beach, California, Cheryl continued ActualDesign Lightwork training. Very early on, Cheryl’s interest in the healing arts emerged. That led to decades of teaching and healing with Light. Her boundless enthusiasm for enlightenment infuses her teaching with students at all Levels of ActualDesign training. Cheryl’s core passion for healing and awakening inspires others to deepen their understanding of the journey to discover and express the unique design and purpose of their life.
