First-to-Market Independent Light Treatment Service Expands Footprint

 Kristen Miller, CEO of Array Skin Therapy has announced plans to franchise the concept, ten years after co-founding the company in 2011. Array Skin Therapy helps people overcome frustrating symptoms of skin conditions with narrowband UVB and excimer laser light treatment, resulting in improved self-confidence and regained control over one’s lifestyle. Narrowband UVB (NBUVB) is defined as light in the 308-312 nm range, identified as the optimal wavelength for treating autoimmune and inflammatory skin conditions. Kristen currently operates five Array Skin Therapy locations in Southern California with plans to expand access to light treatment across the nation.

In 2010, Kristen noticed patients faced many barriers to receiving light therapy while working as a nurse practitioner at a large medical center light treatment facility. Barriers to care included difficulty scheduling appointments, long wait times and expensive parking. Some patients in need of treatment were placed on a waitlist and never received a call.

Kristen recognized that an alternative model was needed in order to increase patient access to light treatment, thereby improving patient adherence and outcomes. In 2011 Kristen launched Array Skin Therapy, an independent light treatment service built with patient convenience in mind.

Array provides light treatment only. The specialized nature of the company allows for an efficient and highly supportive patient experience. Array clinics are conveniently located within the community and offer free parking. Appointments are flexible and easy to schedule due to Array’s team of dedicated front desk associates. Treatment is safe and effective, delivered by nurses, and overseen by nurse practitioners and collaborating physicians.

According to market research, the global light treatment industry was valued at US$765.9 million in the year 2020, and is projected to reach a revised size of US$943.5 million by 2026. With franchise expansion, Array Skin Therapy will offer franchisees the opportunity to invest in an expanding field, while making a difference in the lives of those living with skin conditions. Ideal candidates for franchise ownership are experienced, licensed nurse practitioners with entrepreneurial tendencies. Partnerships with non-healthcare providers may be permitted in compliance with state and federal regulations.

Celiane The Voice in her element

Celiane The Voice in her element

SAN DIEGOApril 10, 2022PRLog — Bay Area-based Indie Artist, Celiane the Voice, is a force to be reckoned with. Not only does she have an enigmatic, yet awe-inspiring stage presence, but her vocal range is enviable. Through an understanding of genre and technique, she is able to borrow from a spectrum of musical influences to create a sound that blends electronic music, hip hop, classical, and jazz to create the new and exciting fusion that has become the genera of Electronica Hip-Opera. The eclectic nature of her work allows her to redefine her listeners’ idea of what is possible through music in a traditional sense, and her talent allows her to set the bar high when it comes to her production value.

Celiane’s unapologetic approach to music is refreshing. She readily admits that she isn’t the typical age—or dress size—of today’s popular music acts, but she sees that as a good thing. “I represent women who don’t abide by the status quo. We like to color outside the lines and we redefine the rules on our own terms,” said Celiane the Voice. Her level of self-confidence is infectious, and her vocal prowess speaks for itself.

The music industry may not realize it yet—but Celiane the Voice is the singer that it never knew it needed. Celiane the Voice is in a class all by herself. Her vocals are powerful. Her lyrics are compelling, and her presence is mystical…ripped out of the pages of a thrilling sci-fi novel! There is something truly mystifying about an artist who is self-aware and liberated.

In the Spring of last year, Celiane the Voice, delighted her fans by dropping Inner Universe. Her inspiration from that project came from her adoration for comic book anime and animation creators. She has always had her sights set of otherwordly endeavors. Celiane the Voice utilizes her eclectic music style to explore a myriad of genres, including the fusion of hip hop and opera. This self-proclaimed, “Mother of HipHopera” continues to defy odds and transcend expectations in the music industry.

“I have always been one to take bold, yet calculated risks. I love to push boundaries and shatter glass ceilings. I understand that my style of artistry is not for every one—I’ve never been a cookie cutter artist—but that’s what my fans love about me! I’m unique, fierce, and I make my own rules,” said Celiane the Voice.

In Celiane’s universe, there is no such thing as status quo. She moves to the beat of her own drum, literally and figuratively. As a Black woman, she taps in to her ancestral roots to create rhythms that honor her African heritage as well as syncopated rhythms derived from her love of technology and anime. This omnitalent, known to her loyal fans as “Celiane the Voice”, raises the bar in the music industry!

Independent Author C.K. Donnelly Wins 2nd Major Literary Award

The Independent Press Award has recognized “Trine Rising, The Kinderra Saga: Book 1” by independent author C.K. Donnelly as the 2021 winner of the Fantasy category. This recognition follows her earlier success winning the 2020 NYC Big Book Award for the Epic Fantasy genre.

The competition is judged by experts from different aspects of the book industry, including publishers, writers, editors, book cover designers and professional copywriters. Selected award winners and distinguished favorites are based on overall excellence.

C.K. Donnelly’s debut fantasy novel, “Trine Rising,” follows sixteen-summer-old Mirana Pinal, one of the few to have ever possessed all three magical powers of the Aspects. However, she has terrifying visions that wielding her magic will destroy her homeland. As her people fight to stop a cunning and ruthless warlord from conquering the land, Mirana must decide if using her powers will save them – or will bring her home, her family, and her beloved even more peril.

In 2021, the Independent Press Award received entries worldwide. Participating authors and publishers reside in countries such as Australia, India, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, United Kingdom and others, in addition to cities all across the United States.

“The quality and quantity of excellent independently published books hit a record,” said awards sponsor Gabrielle Olczak. “We are so proud to announce these key titles representing global independent publishing.”

Donnelly said, “I couldn’t be more thrilled than being selected for the 2021 IPA Award for Fantasy. This novel was decades in the making and suffered through dozens of literary agent rejections, but I never lost faith that the story would find its fans.”

“Trine Rising” has received awards and rave reviews since its release, including the 2020 NYC Big Book Award for “Epic Fantasy”; top ratings from Booklife by Publishers Weekly Critics-2020 Quarter Finals, Kirkus Reviews, and IndieReader; and five-star reviews from Readers’ Favorites, Goodreads, and Reedsy Discovery.

“‘Trine Rising’ is a fantasy for those who’ve never read the genre or don’t think they’ll like it as well as for life-long fans of the genre,” Donnelly shared. “While it has many of the trappings of traditional epic fantasy, the characters are very relatable to today’s audience. What’s more ‘Trine Rising’ also delivers a treat for readers not found in enough books of any genre where you can finally read what the ‘bad guy’ is thinking!”

Donnelly has more than two decades of writing and editing experience. She has held careers in healthcare and journalism, and was honored with several press awards. Currently, she owns a boutique freelance writing, social media, and marketing support agency.

“Trine Fallacy, The Kinderra Saga: Book 2,” the exciting sequel to “Trine Rising” is expected to be released late summer.
