I'm Greek, Irish and Ukrainian, and I was born into generations of war and immigration trauma. I was a child when I watched my dad nearly die. I learned early that you can grieve people who are still here, as well as people who are gone.

For most of my life, I wasn't truly seen for the person beneath my skin. I've lost people I love. I poured everything into saving relationships and people it was never my job to save. I've survived abuse, betrayal, abandonment and heartbreak.

Every time, I had a choice: let the pain close my heart, or turn it into love. I chose love, without bitterness and without resentment. That's the alchemy.

And through it all, a high achiever. I led teams, trained whole organisations and coached leaders and CEOs. I acted, presented and wrote two books.

Today I'm The Love Alchemist and creator of the Lazaris Method. I turn pain into love and purpose. I help you shift what's holding you back and bring back your spark, your joy and your zest for life. Deep work, light touch, and we laugh a lot.
