Lois' entire career as a minister has been devoted to healing and stress management. She has worked as a hospital chaplain, pastoral counselor, parish minister, executive coach, and management consultant. She believes that teaching yoga is a profound exercise in peacemaking. Lois greatly enjoys seeing the positive effects that yoga has on her students, helping them interact with others more effectively and enabling them to lead more purposeful, joyful lives.

Lois may look familiar because she was a regular guest on WEWS Channel 5's "The Morning Exchange" for over ten years, speaking on topics related to family life, communication, and counseling. Besides her counseling, coaching and wellness work, Lois enjoys various hobbies such as writing, photography, and gardening..
