And beyond that, the warm and genuine responses I get from the women I coach… and even from people I just casually talk with about my work, really touch me. ❤️

I wasn’t sure I’d be received this way.

Most recently, someone with decades of experience in a therapeutic method I’ve been drawn to reached out to offer mentoring.

No sales pitch, no secret agenda – simply because they've followed me on facebook and read my blog, and see me as someone worth passing their wisdom on to.

Then my gynecologist (!!) asked me to bring her my business cards so she could share them with her patients.

I had been sooo nervous to even tell her what I do – but she said my work is really needed.

One of the very first people to respond to a career post of mine was a CEO in one of the most traditional and conservative professional circles. I never imagined she’d be the one to respond.

But the more I dare to be myself – honest, vulnerable, brave (sometimes scared) – the better the response.
And often it's coming from people I never would have imagined.

When I first started sharing openly about my work, I worried constantly about what everyone would think.
Old schoolmates, relatives, former clients – especially the very conservative ones. 🫣

Natural talent! 🤩

Your talent for spotting the beauty around you is one of a kind! 🙌

Looks like Bluesky gave my post an adult content warning 😂 Don’t get too excited though… you’ll probably be disappointed. See for yourself!

You are the one who heals – but healing deepens and becomes alive in relationship.

Ten years ago, I believed I needed someone else to heal me. Later, I thought I had to do it all on my own.

Now I know that both are true.

I shared my thoughts in a blog post. 💫

Sivusto on englanninkielinen, mutta ajatuksena on jossain vaiheessa tehdä myös käännösversio suomeksi. Kunhan tässä jaksan ja ehdin 😊. Suorat käännökset suomenkielelle eivät tietenkään toimi, joten tekstit pitää melkolailla uudelleenkirjoittaa. Saapa nähdä, koska inspiraatio iskee...

Visit www.lauravanhapelto.com to check out my new site and share your thoughts – I’d really love to hear from you!

The creation of the site was also a process of building a new business and defining who I am as a coach, who my clients are, and what my offer is.

This is still just the beginning, and I have a lot of work ahead. But it’s a big milestone for me, and definitely worth celebrating. 😊❤️🎉

Technically, it’s been a couple of months' work, but it took me years of studies and personal growth to get to this point – where I can officially call myself a (double certified) Love, S*x & Empowerment Coach.
