Hidden Gems: Meet Lois Lavrisa of Life Coach Lois

Today we’d like to introduce you to Lois Lavrisa

Hi LOIS, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My journey has been anything but a straight line. I worked and paid my own way through college—earning both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees—while juggling jobs, student loans, and trying to figure out who I was in the process. Life has thrown plenty of twists, turns, and curveballs my way, but every step (even the super messy ones) has led me right here.

Over the years, I’ve worn a lot of hats—NBA cheerleader for the Chicago Bulls, server, aerobics instructor, adjunct professor, bestselling author, and now, a Master certified life coach. In between, I married my husband Tom (33 years strong) and raised four incredible kids who’ve been my greatest teachers.

But here’s where it gets good. I realized my true calling wasn’t about chasing titles or ticking boxes—it was about helping others uncover *their* passion and purpose. Now, I use my intuition and spiritual gifts to guide people back to themselves, helping them reconnect with what truly lights them up.

The real magic is in the transformations I witness every day. I’ve seen clients break free from feeling stuck—whether it’s in their careers, relationships, or even within themselves—and finally step into lives that feel authentic and fulfilling. Some have left unfulfilling jobs to start soul-led businesses, while others have reignited passions they thought were long gone. I’ve watched clients find meaningful relationships after years of feeling disconnected, rebuild self-trust, and gain the clarity and courage to make bold life changes they never thought possible.

One client finally left a toxic relationship and, for the first time in years, felt free to be herself. Another found the confidence to pursue a creative dream she’d buried under “shoulds” and self-doubt. And many have come to me simply feeling stuck—overwhelmed, burnt out, or lost—and left with a renewed sense of purpose, passion, and possibility.

Because at the core, that’s what we all want—to feel connected, seen, fulfilled, and excited about the lives we’re living. And guiding people back to that place? That’s the real gift.

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?
It’s definitely not been a smooth road—it’s been complicated, and at times, downright head scratching (What in the world is going on? type moments)

There have been times when I felt completely stuck, questioning everything—my purpose, my path, even my worth. Times when I was so burnt out from constantly giving to everyone else that I didn’t even recognize myself anymore (that is what happens when people pleasing). I’ve faced seasons of deep self-doubt, wondering if I was really capable of following my intuition and helping others do the same.

One of the hardest challenges was learning to let go of the idea that I had to have it all together. For so long, I thought I needed to be perfect—the perfect mom, wife, aunt, sister, coach, friend—but all that did was leave me exhausted and disconnected. It took hitting some personal low points to realize that embracing the messy parts of life was actually where the growth—and the magic—happened.

I’ve also struggled with trusting my intuition, especially when it went against what seemed logical or what others expected of me. It wasn’t always easy to lean into my spiritual gifts and be vulnerable about that side of myself. There were fears of being judged, not taken seriously, or just not being enough.

But the truth is, those struggles shaped me. They taught me how to reconnect with who I am at my core, and now that’s exactly what I help my clients do—find clarity, purpose, and the courage to create lives that feel truly aligned.

It hasn’t been smooth, but it’s been real. And that’s what makes it all so worth it.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I help people discover and/or reconnect with their true calling and passion—the part of them that’s been buried under expectations, fear, and the noise of everyday life. Using my intuition and spiritual gifts, I guide clients back to themselves, helping them find clarity, purpose, and the confidence to make real, lasting changes.

What sets my coaching apart is the deep, intuitive approach I take. It’s not about cookie-cutter strategies or surface-level advice. I tune into what’s really going on beneath the surface—whether someone is feeling stuck in their career, unfulfilled in relationships, or just lost within themselves—and help them find the answers they’ve been searching for. It’s about creating real shifts, not just temporary fixes.

I specialize in helping people break free from feeling stuck—whether that means leaving an unfulfilling job, finding a soul-aligned relationship, reigniting forgotten passions, or simply reconnecting with who they are at their core. I’ve guided clients to start soul-led businesses, heal from toxic relationships, rediscover creativity, and finally feel aligned in both life and work.

What I’m most proud of, brand-wise, is the transformation my clients experience. It’s not just about reaching a specific goal—it’s about feeling alive again, trusting themselves, and stepping into the life they were meant to live. Seeing those “aha” moments when someone finally feels seen, heard, and empowered—that’s everything to me.

At its heart, my brand is about guiding people back to themselves. I offer one-on-one intuitive coaching, workshops, and courses that focus on helping people find clarity, purpose, and passion. It’s all rooted in authenticity, deep connection, and a no-fluff, real approach to personal transformation.

If there’s one thing I’d want your readers to know, it’s this—you’re not broken, you’re not lost, and the answers you’re seeking are already within you. Sometimes, you just need someone to help you find your way back. That’s what I’m here for.

So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
What matters most to me is living a life that feels real, meaningful, and true to who I am—and helping others do the same. I care deeply about people finding their spark again—the thing that makes them feel alive, excited, and connected to something bigger than just the daily grind.

Why? Because I know what it’s like to feel completely stuck and disconnected, going through the motions while wondering, *“Is this really it?”* I’ve been in those moments where everything looks fine on the outside, but inside, you feel lost or unfulfilled. It’s a lonely place, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

What drives me is watching people come back to life—when a client realizes they can leave that soul-crushing job, start that dream project, or open themselves up to love again. Those moments when they go from feeling stuck to feeling unstoppable—that’s what keeps me going.

At the core, what matters most is authenticity and connection. I want people to feel seen, heard, and deeply understood. Because when you reconnect with who you truly are, everything starts to shift. Life feels lighter, more aligned, and honestly, a whole lot more fun. And that’s what I want for everyone.
