LARA PAIR


I'M LARA MICHAELA PAIR,
an author, speaker and international lawyer, who has rebuilt her life across three countries, two continents, multiple careers, and more than one difficult season.
I blend legal clarity, business experience, and emotional resilience to help people rethink how they work, lead, and live. My approach is practical, grounded, and shaped by real life — not hype.
My keynotes combine lived experience, research, and practical tools — designed to shift perspectives and inspire action. I help audiences understand pressure differently, work smarter, and use their emotions as fuel.
The goal is simple: move people from Function to Fire and show them how to Live Lighter without losing ambition.
SPEAKING THAT SPARKS GROWTH
Having been stuck in several areas of my life, I found talking to Lara really useful and effective. She has a very sixth sense of what’s the root cause of your problems and blocks are. After spending a few hours with Lara, I am now on track to greatness and fulfilment in my life.

CONSULTING AND COACHING
BUILT FOR SELF RELIANCE
My goal is to make myself unnecessary. Think of me as training wheels: I provide stability and tools while you steer. It’s your path, your pace, your decisions , I simply help you find the way.
My approach is multi-facetted. While I employ spiritual and bodywork techniques, I am firmly grounded in practicality. Whatever we do needs to work in the real world and in real lives. I blend legal acumen, business strategy, and coaching to turn obstacles into opportunities. Nearly 20 years of experience, from coaching winning teams at the University of Geneva to leading a women’s initiative for a corporate client, shape the way I work: pragmatic, supportive, and results-focused.
Methodologically, I’m trained in PSYCH-K ® and studying psychology at the University of Hagen and coaching accordning to the “originator” principle. I also with both conscious and subconscious feedback to create sustainable change.
If you’re ready to align life and work, unlock your strengths, and move from function to fire — so you can live lighter while achieving more — let’s talk.
I was going through a personally difficult period, without the stability or structure that work normally provides, and I felt completely untethered. From the first session, Lara brought a calm, clear presence that grounded me instantly.
She helped me regain emotional footing, rebuild my confidence, and reconnect with my own priorities when everything felt overwhelming. Her guidance was practical, compassionate, and unwaveringly precise — she sees the real issue immediately and supports you without judgment.
Lara didn’t just help me navigate a hard chapter. She helped me find myself again.
I can recommend her with full conviction to anyone in a transition or life challenge who needs a coach who is both deeply human and exceptionally skilled.

MY PHILOSOPHY
You are the creator of your life. Nobody else.
Your choices, patterns, and beliefs were once formed for a reason — which means they can be reshaped with agency, not force. Transformation begins the moment you decide to work with yourself rather than against yourself. Perfection isn’t required; willingness is.
However, Knowledge alone doesn’t change anything. Applied knowledge does. That’s why every shift requires an “ecology check”: If I make this change, what else in my life changes with it? And is that acceptable for me?
I stand for a simple, grounded philosophy:
You cannot change other people. You can only change how you respond, where you place your energy, and what you choose to embody.
Most struggle doesn’t come from fighting the world — it comes from fighting yourself. When you stop pushing against your own reality and start aligning with what genuinely serves you, life becomes clearer, lighter, and more workable.
I combine physical, spiritual and intellectual elements because we are multi facted people. Together, they form a practical architecture for sustainable change — the kind that supports real life rather than interrupting it. These pillars invite you to notice what strengthens you, what drains you, and what needs to shift so you can act with intention rather than reaction.
At its core, my philosophy is about agency:
Choosing deliberately, directing your energy wisely, and building a life that fits who you are now, not who you were in the past.

TRANSFORMATION
YOU CAN HOLD IN YOUR HANDS
My books blend mindset, time mastery, humor, and emotional resilience — for people who want real growth without burnout.

double-sided mirror jewelry
A quiet anchor for clarity, boundaries, and intentional energy.
This collection is built on a simple idea: what we notice in others often reflects something within ourselves. The double-sided mirror acts as a daily cue to pause, redirect your focus, and return to your own centre rather than carrying what isn’t yours.
Shaped as a lotus — a symbol of resilience and renewal — each piece serves as a gentle reminder to rise through life’s noise without absorbing it. More than jewellery, it’s a subtle, culturally neutral talisman for staying aligned with what supports you and letting everything else pass through.
