Laura Purnell Coaching Welcome, I'm Laura Purnell, Ph.D., ACHT

There are several doorways into my work.

Some people come because they are navigating anxiety, food and body struggles, old patterns, relationship stress, spiritual longing, grief, or a life transition.

Some come because they are ready for deeper subconscious healing.

Some come because they need steadiness, coherence, and practical support.

Some come because they are leaders, teams, or organizations ready for more meaningful wellbeing.

On the new website, I've created a clear place to explore the different ways we can work together:

Hypnotherapy
Coaching
HeartMath, Coherence + Resilience
Employee Wellbeing
Workshops + Speaking

You do not need to know the perfect doorway.

You only need to begin where there is a little light.

My memoir, I Ate My Vanishing Twin!, has its own place on the new website.

This book is not a polished story from someone who has never struggled.

It is my raw, honest story of hunger, healing, trauma, spirituality, body image, and the long journey home to myself.

It is about food, but it is not only about food.

It is about the deeper places where the body remembers.

It is about what we carry.

It is about making peace with hunger, the body, and the self.

If my work has ever spoken to you, the book may help you understand the story beneath it.

You can learn more on the new website.

My work is not theoretical.
I teach what I have lived.
There was a time when food, hunger, body image, shame, striving, and self-judgment took up enormous space in my life.
I looked capable on the outside.
But inside, I was carrying questions I could not answer by trying harder.
That journey became part of the reason I wrote I Ate My Vanishing Twin!, and it also became part of the reason I now help others explore the deeper patterns beneath the surface.
Sometimes the thing we are struggling with is not the whole story.
Sometimes it is a doorway.
My new website shares more of that story and the work that grew from it.

My new website is live.
This feels like more than a website launch.
It feels like a threshold.
For many years, my work has taken different forms: teaching, leadership, hypnotherapy, coaching, HeartMath®, spiritual reflection, writing, workshops, and the deeper inner healing that happens when we begin listening to the body, the heart, and the soul.
Now, so many of those pieces finally have one home.
On the new site, you can explore my book, my services, upcoming workshops, free resources, and the growing Feed Your Soul: Return to Love community.
My hope is that this site feels like a doorway.
A place to pause.
A place to listen.
A place to begin coming home to yourself.
I would love for you to take a look.

I completed a sprint triathlon with my daughter 7 years ago today!

Lake swim: 1/4 mile
Bike ride: 12.4 miles (one very big hill 😎)
Run: 2 miles (I walked)

My goals: Finish with no injuries. Finish before they take down the finish line. Have fun. I met my goals!

I do hard things. I build my strength and confidence.

This weekend I’m working on scrubbing my DNS from the cmd section of my desk top and lap top. This is a new techie thing for me. I don’t like techie challenges. I’m persevering. I haven’t been successful yet.

What hard things are you working through?

What have you discovered about the ways you approach challenges?

Do you ever find that you abandon yourself in the process?

My new website goes live tomorrow. Check it out and receive a FANTASTIC document about the ways we abandon
ourselves!

Awaken. Heal. Create. Embody. Shine.

Awaken — Hidden patterns surface, your awareness of behaviors and thoughts that no longer serve you ignite a spark. A remembering. A soft turning toward what has always been here.

Heal — the clearing of old echoes, the loosening of what no longer serves, the return to the body as sanctuary.

Create — the soul’s natural impulse to shape meaning, beauty, and truth from the subtle field within.

Embody — the integration, where wisdom moves from concept into lived presence, breath, and choice.

Shine — the radiance that emerges when nothing is held back. Not performance, but essence revealed.

Together, these five movements form the foundation: a path of returning to love, reclaiming your wholeness, and living from the quiet brilliance of your true nature.

Next Up: The new website reveal.
