Leave a comment



PEKIN, Ill. (PRWEB)

Eating disorders are among the most complex and have the highest mortality rate of any other psychiatric illness. There are many biological, psychological and sociological factors that play a role in the development of an eating disorder. While recovery from an eating disorder can be difficult, it is possible to achieve a full and sustained recovery.

The impact of art therapy on eating disorder recovery has been shown to be a powerful treatment tool and is the heartbeat of the iaedp™ annual “Imagine Me Beyond What You See” Body Image Art Competition. Celebrating its 10th year in 2020, the “Imagine Me Beyond What You See” Body Image Art Competition promotes healthy awareness and acceptance of body images and has expanded to include all media forms, including visual, three-dimensional, mixed media art, poetry/spoken word, music and dance/performance art.

Originally the art competition used mannequins to artistically reflect an artist’s perception of beauty and body image, but this year, the competition has expanded to a multimedia art contest, open to everyone. Additionally, iaedp™ is expressly asking treatment centers and private practices who have art therapists or who use art to work with clients to submit entries created by them.

2020 Judges include Michelle Dean, MA, AR-BC, LPC, CGP, HLM (DVATA)/ Board Certified Art Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Group Psychotherapist; Rebecca Cerra Tishman Interdisciplinary Artist, 2011 Imagine Me Winner & 2014 Imagine Me Runner Up; Carlus Houston, iaedp™ Member, Mental Health Professional and Spoken Word Artist.

Judging is based on clarity of theme, creativity and originality, quality of composition/design/choreography/performance and the overall impression and presentation.

2020 “Imagine Me Beyond What You See” art competition entries include:

  • Entry 1 – Mannequin – “Reaching Within” by PHP Art Therapy Group, Veritas Collaborative Adult Hospital – Durham, NC

Aurora invests growth capital in Harmony Pay for advancements in payments software technology in the health & beauty industry

Leave a comment



TEMPE, Ariz. (PRWEB)

Aurora, a leading full-service provider (FSP) in the payments industry, has finalized a growth capital transaction to Harmony Pay. The investment for Harmony Pay will advance the payments industry with enhancements to software solutions.

Aurora’s investment and partnership with Harmony Pay, a Florida-based payment processing company, will lead to the completion of development and integration of payments software for the health and beauty industry. The initial footprint of the technology creates efficiencies for salon business owners and offers a better customer experience through a mobile app and streamlined in-store payment solutions.

Founder of Harmony Pay, Dat Nguyen started his career in the salon industry back in the late 90’s. He grew curious about the payments industry in 2004 by recognizing the need for more than the standalone terminal for salon business owners.

“I knew I had a unique opportunity to develop technology to change the way salons do business,” said Dat Nguyen, CEO & Founder of Harmony Pay. “It was an easy choice turning to a trusted partner, Aurora, for the investment and support to build a better payments software for salon owners and businesses.”

Aurora’s investment in Harmony Pay and the development of the payments software will not only help the payments industry with the availability of integrated, vertical-focused software, but it also provides merchants the ability to make technological advancements in their business.

“What we run into a lot with software companies is they are phenomenal technologists. They create great point of sales systems or vertical software, gateways, etc., The challenge we generally see is they don’t have great distribution in many cases,” stated Brian Goudie, CEO of Aurora. “We have distribution and did not have the vertical salon software product. Meeting an entrepreneur like Dat created an opportunity to put those two together.”

About Aurora

Aurora Payments is a leading payment services and solutions organization headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, with 26,000 merchants and $10 billion in annual processing. As a financial service provider (FSP), Aurora has multiple bank sponsorships and lenders Prudential Capital and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. who has been a lender since 2015.

Brandenberry Furniture’s Sink Cabinets Take Fine Furniture Beyond the Bathroom Door

Leave a comment


The Morgan Sink Cabinet Collection includes convenient drawers and cupboard space for storage, and comes in three sizes to meet various space requirements.

Morgan Sink Cabinets are the ideal choice for new construction or retrofitting an existing bathroom.


SHIPSHEWANA, Ind. (PRWEB)

Custom-made, solid hardwood furniture should no longer stop at the bathroom door. That’s the idea behind Brandenberry Amish Furniture‘s Morgan Sink Cabinet Collection. It’s one of the many bathroom sink collections from the Amish furniture store located in Shipshewana, Indiana.

The freestanding Morgan Sink Cabinet Collection includes three sinks — 72, 60 and 49 inches wide respectively. The 72-inch sink has double lavatories, while the two smaller sinks have a single bowl. So homeowners can choose the size that best meets their space requirements. Also, the sink cabinets are ready for customers’ choice of countertops and faucets.

“The Morgan Sink Cabinets are the ideal choice for new construction or retrofitting an existing bathroom,” states Floyd Eash, furniture consultant at Brandenberry Amish Furniture.

Amish cabinetmakers custom-build each sink in the Morgan Sink Cabinet Collection. Also, the builders handcraft the sinks with the same attention to detail as they do while building traditional home furniture. For example, the builders use quality regional hardwoods, such as cherry, oak and maple. The bottom front has a natural wood inlay. This, along with the black, solid pull hardware and exposed tenons add decorative touches to the sinks.

The drawers are built with dovetail joints, renown for strength and durability. In addition, the drawers come with premium soft-close slides. So give them a gentle push, and they close the rest of the way. The mullion glass sliding doors come with clear glass. Smoked glass is optional. Also, the doors are easily removable. This makes cleaning or loading the cupboard space easier.

This bathroom sink cabinet can be paired with a bathroom mirror from Brandenberry Amish Furniture and other solid wood bathroom accessories.

Customers can order their favorite bathroom cabinet from the Morgan Sink Cabinet Collection online or they can visit Brandenberry Amish Furniture’s store located in Shipshewana, Indiana near the Michigan and Ohio borders.

About Brandenberry Amish Furniture

Brandenberry Amish Furniture is located at 1045 N. State Road 5 in Shipshewana, at the intersection of State Road 5 and US 20, near the Indiana Toll Road. The store is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and by appointment.

Brandenberry Furniture opened its doors in 2008. The Brandenberry Furniture concept allows customers to design the furniture of their dreams…to explore the rich woods and stains that only nature can offer. Nothing matches the feel, the smell and the weight of hickory, oak, cherry, maple…real woods that come to life in an Amish handcrafted piece. They are meant to last a lifetime and beyond.

Whether a customer’s favorite style is Mission, Traditional, Modern or something in between, if Brandenberry Furniture doesn’t carry it, their craftsmen will build it to specification.

Brandenberry Furniture offers everything from bedroom and dining collections to home accessories, patio and exclusive furniture pieces. Browse our easy-to-use website with detailed photographs and information, and you’ll find furniture categorized by room (including family room, dining room, bedroom, office, children’s) as well as by wood species (including oak, hickory, cherry, elm, maple, pine and cedar) and style.
