BETHESDA, Md., July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Laura Di Franco, the CEO of Brave Healer Productions, a Bethesda-based book publishing company, announces the release of the sixth book in its The Wellness Universe Guide to Self-Care series.
The Wellness Universe Guide to Complete Self-Care: 25 Tools for Transformation, is helmed by Anna Pereira, founder of The Wellness Universe, who writes in the introduction, “With this sixth book in The Wellness Universe Guide to Complete Self-Care series, we focus on one of the most important journeys you’ll ever take: The journey of transformation. It’s personal. It’s powerful. And it’s possible—especially when you have the right tools, people, and perspectives by your side. At the Wellness Universe, we define wellness as harmony. It’s about being in alignment in all areas of life—mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, socially, and environmentally. True transformation touches each of these areas and real self-care honors that wholeness. This book was created with that belief at heart.”
Featured in its pages are chapters by more than three dozen experts and inspirational people who cover such topics as the shift that takes people from pain to power, releasing past wounds and creating healthy boundaries, transforming from exhausted to energized, and manifesting one’s dream life in just three minutes.
Also contributing to the book were Laurina Anderson, Jill “GiGi” Austin, Nicole Batiste, Estelle Bonaceto, Sharon Carne, Jean Voice Dart, Laura Di Franco, Ilene L. Dillon, Marisa Ferrera, Rachel Everson Fink, Jennifer E. Hills, Gillian Hood, Claire Marie Kohout, Karin Korb, Sandy Krzyzanowski, Denée Fortune McKnight, Kathleen S. McPhillips, Rev. Theresa Micheletti, Laura Sharon, Leah Skurdal, Victoria Soto, Janette Stuart, and Bradford W. Tilden.
The book has a foreword by sports expert and entrepreneur Hugo Varela, who is married to Pereira. Varela says, “Anna has gathered remarkable experts who open their hearts and share their journeys—not just by offering lessons, but real tools born from experience, resilience, and transformation. Each story is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the wisdom that emerges from real-life challenges.”
