I'm Laura, aka, the Educational Alchemist. TEACHER. COACH. CONSULTANT. HEALER.
I guide people as they soften food noise; release the overwhelm of diets, and cultural expectations; and meet the inner critic with compassion. The courses move us through Five Fields of Transformation together, without shame or judgment. Come as you are — every step counts.
We start with the diet riot, the food noise, the rebel in the head — and end with embodied wisdom and gratitude for the body.
I'm on the journey too! I stopped dieting two years ago. You can read about my healing journey in, "I Ate My Vanishing Twin! Trauma, Spirituality, and Hunger: Making Peace with Food."
