Yoli Ray is the founder and Chief Image Officer of Click Creative and creator of the Click Method. The signature Click Creative experience merges the transformative power of photography with the depth of coaching, utilizing NLP and EFT to facilitate self-discovery and empowerment. I apply the Meta Model and TIME techniques, allowing clients to break through barriers and capture their personal evolutions in a snapshot — celebrating not just a moment, but a journey towards self-love and actualization. My work transcends traditional imagery, uniting my 10-plus years of experience with a deep commitment to celebrating the journey of individuality and strength in every frame.
Unlike traditional coaches, I infuse the art of photography into my holistic coaching methodologies, which include NLP and EFT Tapping, offering a truly multi-sensory experience. My training in NLP and EFT (tapping) enriches sessions, allowing clients to not only visualize but embody their evolution. The use of the Meta Model and TIME techniques assists in uncovering and reframing self-limiting beliefs, creating pathways for transformative self-awareness and resilience. Photography becomes a conduit for this transition, immortalizing the point where clients see and embrace their true, empowered selves.
The cornerstone of my success has been the unique blend of my passion for photography and empowerment coaching. The creation of a space where clients feel free to express and revel in their true selves in our coaching containers and during their photo sessions has been revolutionary. I guide clients through a visual and emotional renaissance. It’s this commitment to igniting self-love and confidence—that truly sets my work apart and resonates with clients, leading to profound, shared success.

Koni Zachar, first embarked on her skincare journey when she became a licensed esthetician in 2007, in California. While living in Los Angeles, Koni was lucky to be a part of the esthetics team in the well respected, highly regarded Raya Spa, adjacent to Beverly Hills, where celebrities and TV personas were frequent visitors. After six years as an esthetician in West Hollywood, Koni moved to New York where she pursued esthetics independently, and later in 2015 she relocated to Cary, NC, with her family.
Throughout her years in esthetics, she explored not only traditional spa treatments, but also, advanced device-driven methods leading her to believe that both, incorporating esthetic technology and soothing facial techniques create the most effective, yet, relaxing skin care services. Koni’s clients rave about her collagen-stimulating, relaxing and revitalizing face massage!
During her 17-year long quest for the best approach, she discovered that those pursuing all-natural philosophy didn’t always achieve desired skin results, while those seeking result-driven treatments missed out on relaxation. To bridge this gap, Koni created a simple yet expansive service menu to include both. Her goal was to create a space where skin treatments yield results promoting skin rejuvenation while allowing the mind to escape on an ultimate journey of relaxation.
At Luminae Skincare & Facials, she offers services that are holistic and decompressing, such as the Classic tier of facials, but also anti-aging treatments such as LED, Chemical Peels, Microderm and Microneedling.
