Lois Hollis, RN, BSN. REV. shifts our opinion on one of the most forbidden subjects, shame and guilt. Her passion is to show the way to self-love by alleviating the suffering of shame guilt.

Depression, anxiety, 30 years of migraine headaches, and pain were Lois' way of life until she learned about the dangers of shame and guilt. She realized that shame guilt was within everything she felt. The good news was that she could heal her anger, depression, migraines, guilt, rage, fears, pain from neck, head, rib traumas. The solution to her emotional and physical problems was in confronting shame. She shares her 15 years' experience as a Shame/Guilt Educator, Counselor, Filmmaker to give us an effective lasting way to health, wellness, and spiritual maturity. Lois comes to us with a life-long background in health.

She began as a Nurse' Aide at 12 and continues today at 77. Lois experienced several spiritual encounters that began with a near-death in childhood from physical abuse. Lois is a trailblazer. She started by developing one of the first Kidney Hemodialysis centers in the United States.

Today, Lois brings shame and guilt together as a new field to study. She is the author of three books and a video on Soulspeaks, an original process that brings peace to our inner personalities. Her newest book, "Now is The Time," contains her Light Language readings that expand our spiritual development. Her new film "I'M Good" illustrates shameguilt trickery.
