Reiki Master, meditation guide, breathwork facilitator and mother of twins writes the children’s book she wishes she had as a child
LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 1, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — When Ani Lalazarian changed careers in 2020, leaving the fashion world to become an energy healer, breathwork facilitator and spiritual guide, she held tight to one conviction: that children and adults all carry a special light within them—they simply need the tools to find it. Now, Dragonfly Dreams Press, LLC is releasing her debut picture book – “Into the Heart of the Forest: A Journey to Love” (ISBN: 979-8218897246 paperback; 979-8218883294 hardcover) – a gorgeously illustrated adventure story that brings those tools directly to the page.
Image caption: Cover, “Into the Heart of the Forest: A Journey to Love,” by Ani Lalazarian.
Lalazarian’s path was anything but linear. She spent more than six years as a fashion designer, running her own business before a trip to an orphanage in South India stopped her in her tracks. It set Lalazarian on a healing journey that led to certifications in Usui Reiki (levels 1 and 2), Reiki Master training, shamanic healing, breathwork, Kundalini Yoga and HeartMath®. A mother of twins herself, she eventually found her way to children’s storytelling, finding it to be the most natural extension of her spiritual expertise.
“Children need more than advice in emotional moments—they need tools they can actually feel and use in their bodies,” says Lalazarian. “That became the inspiration for everything I’m building.”
That mission is the foundation of “Into the Heart of the Forest: A Journey to Love.” It’s more than a bedtime story. It’s a doorway into emotional resilience, courage and nervous system awareness—and an invitation back home to yourself, to love, to your center. Through imaginative scenes and gentle guidance, readers are invited to practice calming visualization, self-soothing techniques and empowering affirmations alongside the characters.
“In every child lives a light so bright it can change the world,” writes Lalazarian. “I wanted to write a story where children don’t just watch the characters become brave—they feel it themselves, in their own bodies, as they turn the pages.”
By embedding breathwork and guided visualization into the narrative itself, Lalazarian gives parents and caregivers a built-in emotional regulation tool for bedtime, big feelings or any moment a child needs to return to themselves. The main characters’ journey – from frustration and fear to courage, connection and love – mirrors the emotional landscape children (and adults) navigate every day, and the techniques woven throughout reflect more than a decade of Lalazarian’s training in the healing arts.
“Into the Heart of the Forest: A Journey to Love” is an ideal read for children ages four through eight and for any family looking to bring mindfulness into their daily routine. It’s a reminder that, in Lalazarian’s own words, “love is your greatest power”—and that the magic children seek in the world is the same magic they already carry within.
“My hope is that children return to this book again and again—not just for the story, but for the feeling it gives them,” says Lalazarian. “That they close the last page knowing they are brave, they are strong and the light within them is real.”
Ani Lalazarian’s children’s picture book, “Into the Heart of the Forest: A Journey to Love,” is available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other major online booksellers.

Xentra Transport Debuts On-Demand Freight Service Allowing Businesses to Book Cargo Vans and Box Trucks With a Few Clicks
NEW YORK, N.Y., May 1, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Xentra Transport, a same-day courier and B2B logistics company headquartered at 240 W 40th Street in Manhattan, today announced the launch of its on-demand freight service, giving businesses across New York and New Jersey the ability to book a cargo van or box truck for same-day pickup and delivery in just a few clicks.
Image caption: Xentra Transport is a same-day courier and B2B logistics company headquartered in New York City.
The new service is designed to remove the friction businesses traditionally face when arranging same-day freight. Customers select an equipment type, enter pickup and dropoff details, and submit a request through Xentra Transport’s online booking flow. Dispatch occurs in minutes, with drivers assigned to the order and pickup scheduled for the same business day in most cases.
At launch, the service offers two equipment classes. Cargo vans handle parcel volume, retail restocking, and time-critical commercial deliveries. Box trucks handle palletized freight, oversized goods, equipment moves, and full-vehicle hauls. More information is available on the company’s freight delivery page.
Traditional freight brokering can take hours or even days to dispatch a vehicle for a same-day move, particularly across state lines. By collapsing the booking process into a self-service request and dispatching directly from an in-house fleet, Xentra Transport positions the new service as a faster alternative for businesses that need a van or truck moved on short notice.
“Businesses do not have time to call three brokers and wait for callbacks when they need a van moved across the river by end of day,” said Kevin, founder of Xentra Transport. “We built this service so that on-demand freight feels as simple as ordering a ride. A few clicks, a confirmed driver, and a same-day pickup.”
The launch focuses heavily on the New York to New Jersey corridor, one of the busiest commercial freight lanes in the country. Xentra Transport already manages a high volume of New York to New Jersey deliveries each week, and the new on-demand booking service is designed to formalize and accelerate that lane for businesses that need recurring or one-off freight movements between the two states.
Coverage extends across New Jersey, with service available throughout the state’s major commercial markets. Customers requiring freight service originating from or delivering within New Jersey can find route and service information on the company’s New Jersey courier page.
Pricing for the on-demand freight service follows the company’s standardized flat-rate model, with a $125 minimum booking. Quotes are confirmed at the time of booking, and customers receive driver assignment, real-time tracking, and digital proof of delivery through Xentra Transport’s client portal.
Target use cases for the new service include retail and boutique restocking, trade show and event freight, gallery and white glove transport, medical and laboratory courier work, contractor and equipment moves, and recurring B2B routing for businesses with predictable freight needs.
ABOUT XENTRA TRANSPORT:
Xentra Transport is a same-day courier and B2B logistics company headquartered in New York City, serving the New York and New Jersey tri-state area. The company specializes in same-day delivery, freight, white glove and specialized handling, and time-critical B2B routing for businesses across fashion, retail, art, medical, legal, and event production sectors. Xentra Transport is registered with SAM.gov for federal contracting eligibility. The company serves more than 500 active B2B accounts and has grown order volume tenfold since launch.

Maryland RN Launches Platform to Close the Home Care Affordability Gap – Without Sacrificing the Standard Families Demand
FREDERICK, Md., May 1, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — CareopsHQ today officially launches its White Glove Senior Care Program, giving Maryland families a vetted, affordable alternative to traditional home care agencies — and giving hospital discharge planners, social workers, and geriatric care teams a first-of-its-kind referral option they can stand behind.
Image caption: CareopsHQ — White Glove Senior Care Program.
Founded by Magna Johnston-Bucknor, a registered nurse with more than 25 years of clinical experience across multiple specialties and a currently a home care agency owner, CareopsHQ was built after Johnston-Bucknor witnessed firsthand what happens when families cannot afford agency care: they turn to unvetted caregivers with no training, no oversight, and no support — and both the family and the caregiver are left to fail alone.
THE COST CASE AT A GLANCE
For the majority of Maryland families, traditional home care costs are simply out of reach:
- $5,000 or more per month — over $60,000 a year — for 40 hours of weekly agency care
- $20,000 or more in estimated annual savings for families who enroll in the White Glove program
- $500 one-time enrollment fee to access the full White Glove system
Families get the same caliber of vetted, trained caregiver support they would expect from a traditional agency — at a fraction of the cost.
“The problem was never just cost. It was that families who couldn’t afford agencies had no vetted alternative — and caregivers were failing not from lack of effort, but from lack of training in the human side of the job. I built CareopsHQ to close both gaps at once,” said Magna Johnston-Bucknor, Founder, CareopsHQ, Registered Nurse and Home Care Agency Owner.
WHAT MAKES THE WHITE GLOVE PROGRAM DIFFERENT
CareopsHQ’s White Glove Senior Care Program is purpose-built for healthcare professionals who need a trustworthy, affordable alternative to traditional agency referrals. Every placement goes through a rigorous process designed to protect families and support caregivers:
- Agency-vetted caregivers background-checked and screened for behavioral and cultural fit before any placement is made
- Soft-skills training covering conflict de-escalation, communication, dignity in care, and family emotional support
- A dedicated nurse advocate in every case providing clinical oversight and ongoing accountability
- Payroll compliance tools supporting families in their role as household employers
- A performance accountability system ensuring care standards are maintained throughout the engagement
This is not a matching platform or a directory. CareopsHQ operates to agency standards, applying the same screening rigor families would expect from a licensed agency — at a fraction of the cost. The nurse advocate role is what Johnston-Bucknor identified as the missing piece in most private caregiver arrangements: a licensed professional in the family’s corner, ensuring the relationship stays on track and care never becomes a liability for the clinician who made the referral.
FOR DISCHARGE PLANNERS AND SOCIAL WORKERS
Making a referral to CareopsHQ is straightforward. Healthcare professionals can direct families to https://careopshq.com/, where a one-time $500 enrollment connects them immediately to the full White Glove system. For clinicians managing complex discharge situations where traditional agency placement is not financially viable, CareopsHQ fills a gap that has historically had no good solution — a vetted, structured option rather than leaving families to navigate private care on their own.
“Affordable should never mean second-rate. Every senior deserves care that upholds their dignity — and every family deserves a system that doesn’t collapse when something goes wrong,” said Magna Johnston-Bucknor, Founder, CareopsHQ.
CareopsHQ’s White Glove Senior Care Program is currently available across Maryland. To refer a family or schedule a partner briefing, visit: https://careopshq.com/.
ABOUT CAREOPSHQ
CareopsHQ is a Maryland-based senior care platform founded by Magna Johnston-Bucknor, a registered nurse with more than 25 years of clinical experience across multiple specialties and an active licensed home care agency owner. Johnston-Bucknor built CareopsHQ after identifying a critical gap in the Maryland senior care market: families who could not afford traditional agency rates had no vetted, structured alternative. The White Glove Senior Care Program provides agency-vetted caregiver placement, nurse advocate support, soft-skills training, and payroll compliance tools at a fraction of traditional agency costs. CareopsHQ is not a licensed home care agency. The platform supports families in their role as household employers, ensuring legal compliance and care accountability throughout the engagement.
