"Dr. Nick’s course has been a true treasure for me in these challenging and stressful times. It’s designed well to fit into any busy lifestyle and is easy to access. Dr. Nick’s guidance and fountain of wisdom was always right there throughout the course as he answered my questions and clarified issues for me via email. What I have learned has made me more resilient generally, and has been a heaven-sent on my journey towards feeling calmer."

" My coaching with Dr. Nick has amazingly changed my life. I had a fear of public speaking that was preventing me from enjoying my job, time with friends and sometimes even family time. I was always worried about what others might think of me and was always limited by others and the outside world in general.

Dr. Nick has helped me refocus on myself and discover my incredible potential and getting free from the outside world. Overcoming my fear of public speaking has helped me overcome other challenges and build a stronger me.”

"I have played French Horn all my life. However, with an increased level of competition in college and later in my music performance career, I experienced anxiety and “freezing” in performances, I changed my career and stopped doing what I loved.  

Recently, I was asked to perform a duet for voice and horn with my daughter with the Sounds of Cypress Orchestra. My immediate reflex was to turn down this great opportunity. It was time to get some help, so I called Dr. Nick.  

The day of the performance we made our way to the front of the stage - I was completely calm, confident, and in control (“in the moment” as Dr. Nick would label it). The performance went flawlessly and I was able to thoroughly enjoy the moment and feel very proud of my performance.  

This was one of the most fulfilling experiences I can ever remember, and I attribute the success to the coaching provided by Dr. Nick. I don’t know where this will go, but I do know that the performance door is now open again, and I can feel free to walk through it if I desire to."

"Thanks to Dr. Lazaris, I was able to manage my nerves and anxiety for one of the most important events in my life- my wedding- and was able to fully be present and enjoy it!  I learned techniques to teach the body how to relax. Frequent practice with his centering techniques allowed me to mentally rehearse key moments and learn how to manage my anxious response to them so that I was calmer and more centered on the actual day. Now I have the tools for life to apply them to other public events. Most of all, I have regained confidence to believe in myself."

 "We had the pleasure of having Dr. Lazaris come to the OCSA to give a presentation to our students. Dr. Lazaris was warm, engaging, funny and helpful for our students. He was able to give guidance on how to control their anxiety and shared techniques with our students in order to help alleviate the stress that often comes with performance. We will definitely be asking Dr. Lazaris back to present again.”

"I went to Dr. Nick for help with public speaking anxiety and career coaching. I was immediately impressed with Dr. Nick’s approach and insight - he asked the right questions and took the necessary time to really understand where my issues were coming from.

We then worked on very practical and effective tools to overcome the anxiety I was experiencing. These tools and thought processes proved helpful not only in my work but in all areas of my life. Dr. Nick increased my confidence, improved my attitude, and equipped me to be the best person I can be! ”

~ Joe, C.P.A.

"It is without hesitation that we would recommend Dr. Nick to other individuals and corporations. We look forward to continuing programs and staff development under his guidance.
