With over 20 years of experience spanning the U.S., U.K., Europe, Australia and the Middle East, Dr. Lami is renowned for her deep, long-term engagements with ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals, families, family offices, family businesses, institutions and multigenerational enterprises who want to go beyond financial planning—to protect the relationships, values, and emotional fabric that hold legacy together.
Born into a family business, Dr. Lami has lived the very challenges her clients face—succession struggles, wealth-based identity tension, emotional distance, and power dynamics. Her personal experience shaped her life’s work: helping the world’s wealthiest families not only preserve their fortune but evolve and thrive through it.
Wealth Psychology: Philosophy and Approach
She is the creator of The Wealth ReCode™ Method and The Legacy ReCode™ Method—proprietary frameworks designed to catalyze lasting transformation within ultra-high-net-worth families across generations.
This is not therapy. It is high-level architectural work for the family system—strategic, relational, and profoundly human.
Dr. Lami helps clients navigate the silent, often unspoken dynamics that accompany affluence—uncovering the emotional, relational, and systemic complexities that wealth brings. Her work fosters sustainable transformation from the inside out—preserving not just the fortune, but the family behind it.
“I have shared with you in one meeting things about me, more than I have shared with my wife in 50 years of marriage”
