Â
I’m Omolola (Lola) Lawal, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and the founder of Champions Heart Oasis, a faith-centered counseling and coaching practice based in Illinois. After a successful 19-year career in the oil and gas industry, I followed a calling into the counseling profession, driven by a deep passion to see individuals thrive emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
As a woman of faith and a trained mental health professional, I bring a holistic approach to therapy. I integrate evidence-based practices with biblical principles to support clients in achieving lasting transformation. I believe healing is most effective when the spirit, soul, and body are nurtured together.
I specialize in creating safe, nonjudgmental spaces where clients, especially those experiencing anxiety, depression, relational dysfunction, stress, women’s issues, or emotional overwhelm, can build trust, gain clarity, and experience breakthroughs. With empathy and a deep respect for each person’s story, I guide individuals on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and purposeful living.

- Christian Premarital & Couples Counseling
- Marriage and Family Relationships
- Parenting Support

In addition to clinical work, I am the author of three transformational books and a facilitator of life-changing workshops and seminars designed to equip individuals and families to break unhealthy cycles and build thriving, faith-rooted relationships.
For clients who desire, I also offer prayer ministry and help Christian individuals grow in their confidence to hear God’s voice, align with His purpose, and walk in emotional wholeness.
At the heart of my work is a simple but powerful belief:
Healing is possible—and you don’t have to walk the journey alone.

Where It All Began
My marriage was once in turmoil. I felt emotionally disconnected and unsure of what the future held. I spent years praying for God to change my husband, hoping that a shift in him would solve our problems. But the answer I sought didn’t come the way I expected. Instead, God showed me that the transformation needed to start within me. That revelation became the foundation of a life-changing journey.
At the same time, I was battling career dissatisfaction. I held a promising job on the outside but felt unfulfilled on the inside. It felt like I was living on autopilot, unsure of how to break free. Then, with courage and faith, I took a leap—leaving my comfort zone, pursuing further education, and shifting to a completely new career path. The journey wasn’t easy, but each step of faith led me to where I am today—a licensed counselor, life coach, and author.
Milestones That Reflect God’s Faithfulness
A Transformed Marriage: My husband and I now share a deeper, more meaningful connection. What once felt impossible is now a reality.
✨ A Career Aligned with Purpose: I found the courage to transition into a career that fulfills me and allows me to help others navigate their challenges.
✨ Becoming an Author: Writing became part of my healing process and a way to share what I’ve learned. I’ve published two books, and my third will be released in just a few days! Each book represents a piece of my journey and serves as a guide for others seeking restoration and growth.
These milestones aren’t just achievements—they’re living proof of God’s faithfulness, the power of transformation, and the beauty of taking intentional steps toward healing.

1. Change Begins Within:
One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is that waiting for others—especially my spouse—to change only prolongs the struggle. True transformation begins when you allow God to work on you first. Healing your wounds and shifting your mindset creates the space for lasting change in your relationships and life.
đź’ˇ 2. Faith Requires Action:
While prayer is essential, waiting without action leads to stagnation. When I combined prayer with intentional steps—seeking clarity, setting goals, and working on my growth—doors began to open, and transformation became possible.
🌟 An Invitation to Begin Your Journey
I share this not just to celebrate my milestones but to let you know that your transformation is possible, too. If you feel emotionally disconnected, stuck in your marriage, or unfulfilled in your career or personal life, I want you to know that you are not alone.
