Today we’d like to introduce you to Lola Sol.
Hi Lola, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Five years ago, at 22, I had no friends, no money, no direction, and no self-worth. I was in a codependent relationship with a controlling partner, and we were both homeless, jobless, and addicted to heroin. Then COVID hit. After a week of getting high and binge-watching Tiger King, I asked myself, “Is this really all there is?”
I thought about the addicts in my family—twice my age, still stuck—and began questioning why some people recover while others stay trapped. That’s when it clicked: most relapses happen when people are overwhelmed by shame and emotional pain. The key, I realized, was learning to feel, heal, and reveal what we’ve been taught to suppress.
I spent the next year diving deep into subconscious healing with inner child hypnosis and exploring new hobbies and classes. Eventually, I found a supportive group of friends, and the more I processed my childhood trauma and filled my life with connection, the less I wanted to use.
The following May, I went to detox. After a few weeks of discomfort, I felt like myself again—energized, joyful, and for the first time since I was 15, free from cravings.
I continued my healing journey, and a year later discovered RTT (Rapid Transformational Therapy), a hypnotherapy method similar to what had helped me. I enrolled to become a practitioner.
Then last November, I flew from Birmingham to Orlando for a festival and was blown away by the thriving spiritual and holistic healing scene. I knew I’d found my people. A month later, I sold everything and moved here to launch Lola Sol Healing.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I learned the power of planning ahead. Ha. I’ve learned that being authentically weird is the only way to find your people. That strangers are usually pretty nice—if you are. That literally anything is possible, and everything is figure-out-able. I’ve learned that rejection is just cosmic redirection, and sometimes plans don’t work out because they were only meant to teach you a lesson—so you’ll be prepared when something better comes along. I’ve learned to speak your truth, even if it might scare people, and that it’s okay to ask for help.
And most importantly, I’ve learned to show myself compassion and acceptance for my whole self—good, bad, messy, and wrong.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
We shouldn’t have to spend our adult lives suffering from wounds that were never ours to carry in the first place. The pain, the patterns, the limiting beliefs — so many of them were inherited from childhood environments that didn’t know how to love us properly. And it’s time we stop normalizing that.
At Lola Sol Healing, we specialize in guiding people through deep emotional transformation using hypnotherapy, energy alignment, somatic movement, and shadow work. But at our core, what we really do is help people return to themselves. We help them peel back the layers of shame, fear, and self-doubt so they can reconnect with their most authentic, empowered self.
What sets us apart is the way we hold space: grounded, trauma-informed, and deeply reverent of each person’s unique path. We don’t rush healing. We honor it. Our approach is rooted in the Hero’s Journey — the idea that within every challenge lies the opportunity for reclamation, power, and purpose.
What I’m most proud of is the way our brand gives people permission — permission to feel, to be seen, to ask for more. Every ceremony, session, and retreat is crafted to help our clients feel safe in their bodies and free in their truth.
Lola Sol Healing is here for the ones who are ready to break cycles, rewrite their stories, and live life fully — without fear, without shame, and without apology.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
I absolutely see the wellness and spiritual industry shifting more towards emotional expression and authenticity as opposed to the “chill, zen, all good vibes” messaging that created the “toxic positivity” mindset. I think we’re seeing now how repressing our anger, and holding back our tears, is actually doing more harm than good. They get stored in the body and create all kinds of health issues and chronic muscle pain.
