    Graham

    Lola Graham (she/her) is a Trauma-Informed Well-Being Educator, Life Coach, and Speaker. As the Co-Founder of Living Well, she coaches individuals one-on-one and partners with organizations to empower their people through workshops and resources that support mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Lola believes healing and care should be accessible to all, which is why she offers a free newsletter, Living Well Daily, to provide weekday support with mental-emotional well-being and longevity tips. Her mission as a well-being educator is shaped by her intersecting identities as a sexual-assault survivor, bisexual, and neurodivergent woman who embraces love, joy, and well-being as a form of resistance. When she’s not working, you can find her advocating for trauma-informed justice pathways as the Ontario Chapter Co-Rep for Survivors 4 Justice Reform, volunteering in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, or spending time in nature with her life partner and dog.
