Testimonials
"I knew Lola from taking her Women in Transitions class back in the winter of 2009. When I heard she was teaching a class based on a combination of social action and personal development I knew I had to take it! Social action and personal development, what a brilliant combination. Lola represents, to me, a healthy balance of these two important elements.
Lola's teaching style is amazing. She engaged even the most reluctant students to reach down deep and find the value and passion they had to share with the world.
I believe this should be a required college course. The ripple effect of this class is much bigger than the students who take it. This class connects the college, the students and the community in a beautiful way. "

"I have been in a group that Lola facilitated. From the first day, she put us at ease - people immediately felt safe in the space she created and were able to open up allowing the therapeutic process to begin. And it was fun! During those 10 weeks I went through a transformation and made some personal decisions that had needed to happen for a long time. Lola's continuing support, inspiration and caring were what enabled my growth to happen. I am grateful that she is in my life."
