Lightwell

Calm clarity, delivered right to your inbox.

If you're trying to stay human while the world accelerates like it forgot we have actual nervous systems... you've found your people.

I send notes that make sense of the chaos. Natural tools that support you. Body wisdom that's not woo. Real talk about parenthood, presence, and finding your frequency when everything's loud.

No biohacking protocols or "morning routine for success." Just tiny illuminations that add up to actually liking your life.

Oh, you sense it too?

Our world feels extra wild right now, doesn't it? Like something's glitching behind the scenes.

Old systems crumbling. New doors opening whether we asked them to or not.

And here you are, feeling like the assignment is cosmic with a side of WTF, and googling "how to human" at 3am.

Maybe you've earned an honorary doctorate in wellness and self-development. All the books. All the protocols. Seventeen meditation apps currently judging you from your phone.

So here's what I'm wondering:

What if the point was never to ‘fix’ or perfect yourself?

What if you just needed to turn the lights on?

Because getting clear (in your life and with your health), doesn't come from another morning routine or productivity hack. It comes from cultivating that unmistakable sense of oh, this is actually true. This is actually me.

And surprise: it's easier to find that clarity when you're not fighting inflammation, brain fog, or running on empty. Physical capacity creates mental space. When your cells work, everything works.

It's much less complicated than we've been led to believe.

Let this be the space where things finally start to click. Where you realize that feeling good in your body isn't vanity. It's the foundation for everything else you want to do.

Here’s what I offer:

Simple, effective natural tools. (When you understand how essential oils actually work at a cellular and energetic level, everything shifts).

Frameworks that make sense of how you work. (Suddenly your "quirks" aren't problems to solve.)

Permission to trust yourself. (Revolutionary concept.)

Real stories from the trenches. Sometimes funny, always honest.

I have an unwavering conviction that we can build a world fuelled by love and community. I bring a PhD's worth of research obsession, a unique ability to bridge Science + Spirit, and two toddlers who keep me honest about what "balance" actually looks like.

If you’re still reading, you already know you belong here.

Hi! I’m Dr. Laura Hughes

Please just call me Laura.

PhD, ND, mom of two tiny chaos agents, forever barefoot. I left medicine because the system treats people like cars that need mechanics instead of gardens that know how to grow. Now, I help people trust what their bodies already know, using tools that actually work.

My newsletter is called Lightwell. It's not a marketing thing. It's an energy thing. A place where illumination happens naturally and we chat about all the things they didn't teach at school (but should have).

Kind words

"Dr. Laura Hughes has completely revolutionized how I think about wellness and health. Her background, open heart, and free spirit give me hope for my own journey and for all who are lucky enough to interact with her."

  • Shannon Hugman, Author & Astrologer

"It's rare to find people in any industry who are as knowledgeable and passionate about their work as Laura. With an amazing talent for explaining new concepts to people in a way that's easy to understand, she's compassionate, empathetic and an absolute gem of a person."

  • Erica Heaslip, Client Services Specialist

Meet me.

Hi! I'm Dr. Laura Hughes (call me Laura).

Let's be honest. Life doesn't always go how you thought it would. And sometimes? That's the best plot twist you never saw coming.

I never thought I'd walk away from a medical license I spent years earning. Or that I'd navigate divorce without turning into a rom-com villain. Or fall in love again and become a mom in my 40s. (Twice. Two years. We’re sleeping surprisingly well.)

But here's what happens when you start actually listening to your body instead of overriding it with protocols and productivity:

Life gets clearer.

Not easier. Not perfect. Not Instagram-worthy every Tuesday.

But true.

I'm a recovering external-validation seeker (hi, academia), an eternal optimist (also known as: compulsive solution-finder), and a Gemini sun, Scorpio moon, Capricorn rising. Which means I think big, feel deep, and will probably reorganize your spice drawer if you let me.

I live in Toronto with my partner, two feral toddlers, a small rescue zoo, and an unreasonable attachment to beach walks and good coffee.

I have a PhD and ND degree. I spent years in academics and medicine before realizing the system was built for fixing broken things, not supporting whole humans. And I didn't want to be part of a paradigm where one person is broken and another person holds all the answers.

So I left.

No regrets. Lots of oils.

We'll get to that. ;-)
