A life long learner, Lois is inquisitive and loves to think out of the box leading to imaginative ways of approaching challenges and leveraging knowledge into action. For example, her interest in Eastern philosophies and the concept of energy and how it can be managed and channeled lead her to become a Reiki Master, providing a unique way of connecting to the people with whom she works. Intention and awareness have been keywords for Lois in her personal and professional practices. Energy follows attention, where our attention goes dictates where our energy goes. For Lois this is an important aspect of understanding our own energy patterns as well as those of the people around us. Balancing these patterns, learning to use the energy generated by the stresses in life and using it to create sustainable changes are a key element of the practices that Lois brings to her clients.
