How Bruma Sōl Was Born

I never expected my own healing journey to hold the very key to my wellness practice—and for that, I am eternally grateful. Today I share this wisdom with the world, guiding as many people as I can toward deep healing and transformation.

The Full Story
Bruma Sōl was born from a personal healing journey—one that began in the shadows of chronic symptoms, misdiagnosis, and medical gaslighting, and led to a reclamation of energy, clarity, and self-trust.
For years, I struggled with mysterious skin rashes, gut issues, burnout, and hormonal imbalance. Like many, I was told “everything looks normal” while my body kept screaming for help. I cycled through restrictive diets, prescriptions, and quick fixes—none of which addressed the deeper root causes or the emotional weight I was carrying.
It wasn’t until I began to understand the nervous system, explore functional lab testing, and reconnect with ancestral nutrition that things began to shift. Slowly, layer by layer, I rebuilt. I learned how to listen. I began to heal—not just physically, but emotionally and energetically.
Founded by Laura Johnston, a functional wellness guide and certified personal trainer, Bruma Sōl was born from the belief that healing isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, energetic, and deeply personal.
After years of navigating food sensitivities, burnout, and feeling dismissed by conventional care, I created the very system I once searched for: one that honors the whole human.
As a 6/2 Splenic Projector in Human Design, my work is guided by deep intuitive insight and a gift for pattern recognition. I’m here to help others recognize what their body has been trying to say all along—and to restore the systems that have long been out of sync.
The name Bruma Sōl is Latin-inspired: Bruma means “midwinter,” a time of stillness and inward reflection; Sōl means “sun,” the return of warmth, energy, and light. Together, they represent the healing cycle—from depletion to vitality, from darkness to radiance.
Whether you’re here because you’re exhausted, inflamed, overwhelmed, or simply ready to reclaim your body, you belong here. Bruma Sōl is a space to come home to yourself.
