  • Novus Mindful Life Institute Expands Availability of Betrayed Partners’ Therapy Group to New Communities

    Novus Mindful Life Institute Expands Availability of Betrayed Partners’ Therapy Group to New Communities

    Long Beach, California – January 06, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Novus Mindful Life Institute Family Counseling & Recovery has announced the expansion of its Betrayed Partners’ Therapy Group, a specialized support and counseling program designed to help individuals heal from the emotional and relational impact of betrayal trauma. This expansion will allow more people in additional communities to access a safe and structured environment for recovery after experiences of infidelity, sexual addiction, or other breaches of trust in intimate relationships.

    Since its founding in 2008, Novus Mindful Life Institute has provided evidence-based treatment for individuals and couples facing relationship crises. The Betrayed Partner’s Therapy Group was developed in recognition of the profound emotional distress and psychological strain that partners often experience when trust in a relationship is broken. The program offers guided therapeutic support that addresses feelings of shock, anger, grief, and disorientation, with a focus on rebuilding personal stability and self-worth.

    Betrayal trauma can have long-lasting effects, often impacting mental health, physical well-being, and daily functioning. Partners may struggle with anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, and difficulty trusting others. These challenges are frequently compounded by feelings of isolation, as individuals may feel unable to share their experiences with friends or family. The Betrayed Partner’s Therapy Group offers a confidential and nonjudgmental space where participants can speak openly about their experiences and receive guidance from trained therapists and peers who understand the complexity of this form of trauma.

    “Our work with betrayed partners is grounded in empathy and clinical expertise,” said Duane Osterlind, Co-Founder and Clinical Director of Novus Mindful Life Institute. “Healing after betrayal is not about forgetting or minimizing what happened. It is about helping individuals regain their sense of self, rebuild emotional safety, and move forward with clarity—whether that is within the same relationship or on a new path.”

    The program’s group format enables participants to connect with others who are navigating similar challenges, reducing the sense of isolation that often accompanies betrayal trauma. Sessions are facilitated by licensed therapists who guide discussions, introduce coping strategies, and help members process their emotions in a supportive and structured manner. This approach ensures that participants receive both professional guidance and peer validation, which can be instrumental in recovery.

    Each session may include a combination of psychoeducation, skill-building exercises, and guided conversation. Psychoeducation helps participants understand the psychological and physiological effects of trauma, while skill-building focuses on developing practical strategies for managing anxiety, setting boundaries, and improving self-care. Discussions encourage members to share their experiences at their own pace, with confidentiality and respect as foundational principles of the group environment.

    A distinctive feature of the Betrayed Partner’s Therapy Group is its integration into a larger framework of relational and individual healing services. Participants may also choose to engage in individual counseling, couples therapy, or other specialized programs offered by Novus Mindful Life Institute. This coordinated approach ensures that recovery is comprehensive, addressing both immediate emotional needs and long-term relationship goals.

    The expansion of this program reflects a growing recognition of the unique needs of betrayed partners and the importance of specialized care. While support for individuals struggling with addiction has become more widely available in recent years, resources for their partners have often been limited. By broadening the reach of the Betrayed Partner’s Therapy Group, Novus Mindful Life Institute aims to fill this gap and provide accessible, high-quality support to a wider audience.

    The therapeutic process acknowledges that recovery from betrayal is highly individual. Some participants may seek to repair their relationships, while others may choose to separate. The group supports all paths to healing, with the central focus on helping each person reclaim a sense of agency and emotional well-being. This includes fostering resilience, enhancing communication skills, and reinforcing the belief that life can hold meaning and fulfillment after betrayal.

    Participants in the program often report that the group’s shared environment is one of its most valuable aspects. Hearing others articulate similar feelings and challenges can normalize the recovery experience and inspire hope. Over time, many members build connections that extend beyond the group sessions, offering continued encouragement and accountability as they move forward.

    The program also addresses the practical challenges that betrayal trauma can create. This may include managing the emotional impact while caring for children, navigating complex financial situations, or making decisions about shared living arrangements. Therapists help participants prioritize self-care, make informed choices, and access additional resources when necessary.

    By expanding the Betrayed Partner’s Therapy Group, Novus Mindful Life Institute reinforces its commitment to treating relationship crises in a way that honors the experiences of all individuals involved. The organization recognizes that the partner’s healing journey is distinct from, but equally important to, the recovery process of the person who engaged in the betrayal. This perspective is embedded in the program’s design and delivery, ensuring that betrayed partners receive the validation, guidance, and tools they need to rebuild their lives.

    The expansion also strengthens collaboration with other mental health professionals and community organizations. By working closely with therapists, counselors, and healthcare providers, Novus Mindful Life Institute can ensure that individuals referred to the program receive timely and appropriate support. The organization continues to prioritize early intervention, believing that prompt access to specialized care can mitigate the long-term effects of trauma and improve overall outcomes.

    Sessions are conducted in a confidential, respectful environment where participants can speak without fear of judgment. The therapists who lead the group are trained in trauma-informed care, ensuring that discussions are sensitive to each participant’s emotional state. While sharing is encouraged, it is never required, and each member can choose how much they wish to disclose at any given time.

    Over time, the Betrayed Partner’s Therapy Group has evolved to reflect current research on betrayal trauma and effective recovery practices. The program incorporates strategies supported by clinical studies, including mindfulness techniques, grounding exercises, and relational boundary-setting. These tools are designed to help participants manage distress, reduce intrusive thoughts, and regain a sense of personal control.

    The decision to expand this service is part of a broader effort by Novus Mindful Life Institute to address the interconnected nature of relationship challenges. The organization views healing as a multi-layered process that benefits from addressing all affected parties, not just the individual who engaged in the harmful behavior. This perspective aligns with the institute’s mission to promote recovery, connection, and hope through specialized, compassionate care.

    With greater accessibility to the Betrayed Partner’s Therapy Group, more individuals will have the opportunity to begin the healing process in an environment that is both supportive and clinically informed. Whether participants choose to rebuild their relationships or move forward independently, the program offers the tools, insights, and encouragement necessary to navigate the challenges ahead.

  • Ultrahigh-resolution 3D monitoring reveals sediment-derived plumes as algal bloom precursors

    GA, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — For years, harmful algal blooms appeared to strike without warning, turning pristine lakes into thick, green sludge overnight. Now, researchers using autonomous “lake-scanners” have discovered that these disasters are not sudden events but the climax of a stealthy, multi-day journey beginning at the dark bottom of the lake.
    The Invisible Ascent
    Globally, toxic algal blooms are becoming more frequent and severe, fueled by a warming climate and nutrient runoff. While satellites can easily spot the green carpets once they reach the surface, the “prequels” to these outbreaks remain hidden in the deep.

    Researchers from Harbin Institute of Technology and collaborating institutions reported their findings on December 25, 2025, in Environmental Science and Ecotechnology. “This study fundamentally changes how we understand algal bloom initiation,” says Dr. Troy Yu Tao, Associate Professor at Harbin Institute of Technology. Instead of a sudden explosion at the surface, the team found that blooms follow a “bottom-up” process triggered by a previously invisible phenomenon: sediment-derived plumes.

    A “3D CT Scan” for Lakes
    To see through the murky depths, a team from the Harbin Institute of Technology and collaborating institutions deployed an autonomous underwater drone equipped with high-precision sensors. Over four months, this “underwater scout” collected more than 2.8 million data points, creating a high-resolution 3D map of the water column—effectively a medical-grade scan for the lake.

    By monitoring at a resolution of just one vertical meter, the researchers captured the life cycle of a bloom in three dramatic acts:
    1.The Awakening: Heavy rainfall triggers turbulence that stirs the lakebed, resuspending dormant algal cells and nutrients.
    2.The Stealthy Ascent: Rather than drifting aimlessly, these cells form “coherent plumes”—concentrated columns of biomass that begin to climb toward the light.
    3.The Outbreak: After a delay of one to two days, these plumes hit the surface and expand horizontally, finally becoming visible to the naked eye.

    From “Firefighting” to Early Warning
    The discovery of this 48-hour delay is a game-changer for water management. Conventional monitoring often identifies blooms only after they have already peaked, leaving authorities in a “reactive” mode.

    By detecting these “ghost plumes” as they leave the sediment, water managers can shift to proactive prevention. Targeted interventions, such as localized sediment management in high-risk “hotspots,” could stop a bloom before it ever reaches the surface. As extreme rainfall events become more common, this ability to “see” the invisible will be vital for safeguarding drinking water and aquatic life worldwide.

    Founded by Dr. Stephen J. Ronan, FACS, the practice has become a cornerstone of aesthetic medicine in the East Bay Area, serving patients from Danville and surrounding communities including Walnut Creek, San Ramon, Alamo, Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore. The longevity of the practice reflects both the sustained trust of local patients and the continuity of care that has defined its approach to cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.

    The practice offers an extensive range of surgical and non-surgical procedures, including facial rejuvenation, breast enhancement and reconstruction, body contouring, and advanced MedSpa treatments. This comprehensive approach allows patients to receive continuity of care for various aesthetic concerns under one established practice. The facility combines traditional surgical expertise with modern technologies such as CoolSculpting, ellacor skin tightening, and Aviclear treatments.

    For residents of California seeking established aesthetic care, the practice’s long-standing presence provides reassurance in an industry where new providers frequently enter and exit the market. The stability offered by a practice with deep local roots enables patients to maintain consistent relationships with their medical team, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of their aesthetic goals and medical history over time.

    The Danville plastic surgeon and his team have witnessed significant advances in aesthetic medicine throughout their tenure, incorporating evidence-based techniques while maintaining the personalized approach that has characterized the practice since its inception. This balance between innovation and consistency has enabled the practice to serve multiple generations of patients from the same families, reflecting the trust built within the community.

    Blackhawk Plastic Surgery & MedSpa operates from its Danville location, offering both surgical procedures and non-invasive treatments. The practice provides virtual consultations and has developed programs to accommodate patients from outside the immediate area, though its primary focus remains serving the local Danville and Blackhawk communities. The facility houses state-of-the-art surgical suites and treatment rooms, supporting the full spectrum of aesthetic procedures from minor non-invasive treatments to complex reconstructive surgeries.

  • Nikki Sailor Appointed Agent for Johnson Farms Estates Shares Development Updates in Le Claire, Iowa

    BETTENDORF, Iowa – January 06, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Nikki Sailor – REALTOR in the Quad Cities is leading a series of public information sessions connected to the ongoing development of Johnson Farms Estates, a new residential community currently under construction in Le Claire, Iowa. The sessions are part of a structured effort to provide verified project information as the development advances toward its scheduled model home opening in 2026.

    Johnson Farms Estates is being built by Aspen/Windmiller and remains in an active construction phase. Sailor has been appointed as the real estate agent for the development and is responsible for buyer-facing communication during the pre-model stage. Her role centers on providing accurate updates related to the project’s scope, construction timeline, and residential planning considerations while development continues.

    Nikki Sailor - REALTOR

    The information sessions are being held at 5167 Lakeside Court in Bettendorf, Iowa, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., with dates scheduled throughout January and February 2026. The sessions are designed to allow prospective buyers to engage with the project at different points in its development, offering continuity as construction milestones are reached prior to on-site model availability.

    Although hosted in Bettendorf, the Johnson Farms Estates in Le Claire, Iowa development is located north of the Quad Cities’ urban core, within a community that has seen steady residential growth in recent years. Le Claire’s location provides proximity to regional employment centers and established amenities while maintaining a smaller-community setting. The development reflects continued interest in new construction housing across eastern Iowa.

    As the appointed agent, Sailor provides factual information regarding anticipated home designs, lot configuration, and projected construction phases as they are finalized by the builder. Because the official model home is scheduled to open on March 1, 2026, the information sessions currently serve as the primary forum for verified updates and buyer questions related to the development’s progress.

    This outreach approach aligns with common practices during early stages of residential development, when physical tours are not yet available. Structured information sessions allow prospective buyers to evaluate opportunities, understand timelines, and follow progress before model homes open. The format also supports ongoing engagement, enabling attendees to return as new details become available.

    Regional housing data indicates that pre-model information sessions have become an increasingly common tool in new residential development, particularly in markets where construction timelines extend several months before public model access is available. By offering scheduled opportunities for discussion and updates, developers and appointed agents are able to maintain transparency while responding to buyer interest earlier in the process. In the Quad Cities area, this approach has been used to help prospective homeowners better understand how new developments integrate with surrounding communities, infrastructure, and school districts. For projects such as Johnson Farms Estates, early-stage engagement allows interested parties to monitor progress and evaluate options well ahead of formal sales activity.

    The development has been positioned to address demand from specific segments of the local housing market. Publicly stated objectives include engagement with buyers connected to the Pleasant Valley School District, as well as empty nesters seeking newly built housing options that align with changing residential needs. These groups represent a consistent portion of interest in new construction within the Quad Cities region.

    Sailor’s involvement reflects a broader role beyond transaction representation, emphasizing buyer education during development and construction phases. By providing consistent access to factual project information, the sessions aim to reduce uncertainty and support informed decision-making as the development moves closer to completion.

    By maintaining a regular schedule and a consistent location for its information sessions, the project’s outreach reinforces regional accessibility while remaining grounded in the development’s Le Claire location. As construction progresses toward the model opening, these sessions are expected to remain a central source of information for Pleasant Valley District buyers monitoring new residential development opportunities in eastern Iowa.
