LMTV #243: Wellness Through Collaboration (Anna Pereira)

I first found out about The Wellness Universe in early 2018, and I formally signed on as a member in May of that year. As I became more involved with the organization and attended different seminars and workshops, I really fell in love with the many amazing people I met, and I realized that WU, as we like to call it, was something really special. In July of 2022, I made the commitment to invest in the company and I became a Senior Partner of the organization.

For this episode of Life Mastery TV, I decided that it was high time I shined a more powerful light on this great organization, so I invited the CEO, Anna Pereira, to join me to talk about the real “secret sauce” that makes WU so special, and also to share with you some of the great things you can expect from the organization in the near future.

Here is a brief description of the company:

The Wellness Universe is an online platform and community dedicated to promoting health, wellness, and personal transformation. Founded in 2013 by visionary entrepreneur Anna Pereira and launched in 2015, The Wellness Universe serves both wellness professionals and individuals seeking optimal wellbeing. At its core, The Wellness Universe is an online directory connecting wellness seekers with vetted professional providers in fields ranging from health coaching to meditation.

The Wellness Universe provides members with a robust platform to showcase expertise, connect with peers, and increase impact. Each member receives a personalized microsite and access to a network of over 40 million collective social media followers. The Wellness Universe also creates opportunities for members including speaking engagements, writing projects, and collaborations.

For individuals seeking wellness, The Wellness Universe offers both an accessible directory and a wealth of educational content. The WU blog features contributions from members on diverse wellness topics. Self-care books and online learning resources provide guidance for those looking to transform their lifestyle. The Wellness Universe also hosts live and virtual events open to the public.

At its heart, The Wellness Universe aims to catalyze positive change on a global scale. The company’s “World-Changer Manifesto” calls on members to listen to inner wisdom, treat others with compassion, and offer services that create a happier and healthier world. There is an emphasis on integrity, responsibility, and active engagement.

The Wellness Universe spans seven core areas of wellness: physical, mental, spiritual, social, environmental, financial, and occupational. This integrative approach empowers both members and visitors to pursue whole-person wellbeing.

For this episode, Anna Pereira and I will be focusing our attention on some of the core values of The Wellness Universe―namely community, collaboration, and co-creation―and how these values guide all the decisions about where the organization is going, and how we plan to get there.

If you’ve never heard of The Wellness Universe, you’re going to learn a lot, and hopefully you’ll even find yourself wanting to join our growing family. And if you have heard of the organization, come join us anyway and share your experience. This is going to be a very different LMTV format, and it’s going to be a lot of fun!
