Lori is the absolute best! I started working with her before opening my acupuncture practice and she really helped me feel confidant and ready to go out on my own. She has given me so many good ideas in terms of marketing and website design. I also love that at the beginning of each session we start by meditating. She incorporates a lot of emphasis on values and keeping that central to the vision. She helps me to stay focused on the big picture and I rest easy knowing I can always reach out to her for help as I navigate my growing business! On top of her coaching skills, she is one of the sweetest, most caring, and genuine people I know. I highly recommend her. Thank you Lori! read more

Lori has been such an amazing support system for us and our medical optometry business. She was able to coach us on tackling our priorities and just help make sense of things that we struggled to recognize. Her wisdom and authenticity is really what makes her connect so well with her clients. Being a small business owner requires us to have the right people believing in our strengths so that we can really strive to push forward and thrive. It's gifted people like Lori who really can help make it happen! Forever grateful! read more

Everyone should have a business or life coach Lori helped me put things in perspective and I was able to accomplish my goals and objectives read more

Words cannot express how much working with Lori has changed my life for the better. She is truly an inspiration, a creative soul and a downright good person. From the first introductory session, she told me "we set our own limits" and that resonated with me. From that moment I knew she was the right coach for me. She has coached me through setting up two separate businesses. And she helped me see how much I can achieve and how to be gentle with myself throughout the process. She is amazing. I have recommended her to friends and family. Every session with her is like a warm hug. She truly cares about her clients. I would give her ten stars if I could. read more

Lori is a tremendous business and life coach that I would highly recommend to absolutely anyone! To start things off (and this is huge) Lori is an extremely ethical person. Her objective is not to keep you coming back but to assess what is right for you and help you get from point A to point B in the most efficient way possible. Secondly, she is a very genuine and perceptive person. She is one of the most intuitive people I have ever met. Very quickly she picks up on the essence of whatever problem you're facing and with a few questions strips it down to the core issue you're having. Lori is excellent at being understanding, compassionate, and encouraging but also challenging you and bringing angles and perspectives to your awareness that you haven't considered before. She can help with all aspects of running your own business - from marketing/promotions to really finding your core. In my case we worked on the latter. I already have ran a few successful businesses but I had trouble connecting to my core, to my heart and really doing the work that was incredibly inspirational and important to me. I was full of fear and any minor failure would retrigger that fear, I'd have trouble moving forward. With Lori's help, I managed to move past fear and embrace my creativity. Lori listens and allows me to express myself, then gives me her perspectives. She always assigns homework and let me tell you - the reading she assigns is tremendous. The TED talks, YouTube videos, books and other things she recommended to me were instrumental in helping me overcome my creative blocks and gain more courage and faith than ever before. I did all the readings, watched all the videos, and I would continue with the next session transformed. We practiced many of the exercises from the materials Lori gave me and it was tremendously helpful. This was a few months ago, I still use these concepts in both my business and my personal life. Like others mentioned, Lori is a treasure trove of life transforming concepts and materials, and she customizes them to the needs of each client. Lori also gave me some tremendous promotional tips. I used to be full of fear when starting a new creative project if the previous on failed. Now I am full of courage and fearless. Success of creative projects is always a gamble, but staying connected to my core and doing my work with integrity, faith, and commitment is not. With Lori's help I have learned to do just that. I highly recommend Lori for any entrepreneur, whether you're just getting started, going through a business transition, looking for more satisfaction/motivation or looking for practical marketing tips. Thanks, Lori! read more

Lori Koop gets all the stars. She is a star! I've been working with Lori since November, and the results and self discovery have been nothing shy of miraculous. Lori helped me tap into my creative side, and is working so closely with me as I develop my own business. Every session leaves me feeling incredibly inspired and ready to take on the world. She's a game changer for sure, and I HIGHLY recommend her. Lori helped me build the confidence I needed to take a giant leap of faith in my career path. I recently moved from Los Angeles to Atlanta to transition from entertainment to coaching. I want to help people just as she has helped (is helping) me. She makes me feel like I am her only client (even though I know she's helping and inspiring so many other people). I could seriously go on and on and on. If you are looking for a few fresh ideas, or a whole business/career/life makeover, look no further. Lori is a diamond. read more

About 3 months ago, I found myself, a successful photographer, somehow in a bit of a rut. I was in a bit of flux.. meeting with 40 ad agencies in NY, going full fledged pedal to the metal, then getting burnt out and not being able to find the energy or determination to get myself to follow through with the 40 thank you notes. Week in, week out, months would pass and I kept making mental to-do's to follow through but I avoided it like the plague. I felt like, when I am hired by a company, for a particular job, I'm the best, most productive person on the planet, but when the job is complete, and it's time to do the marketing and the work to get more business, I just wasn't able to motivate myself. With Lori, with a great business coach, you have clearly set goals and accountability.. which I very much yearned, it turned out. She jokes, it's almost like "hiring someone to be your boss". Funny, but true! Without going into too much more detail, all I can say is this: Within seven days of our first meeting, not only were 40 thank you notes written and out the door, but I also accompanied them with a beautiful display of photographs from a recent shoot, and to top that off, I ordered another 50 rounds of thank you's and collections of photos to mail to another 50 existing contacts I'd been meaning to reach out to for years. It was a huge success and Lori was able to create this subtle change in me, that developed a wave of small successes, which created some very big wins. If you love sitting down with someone amazing, someone with the most incredible positive energy you can imagine, who'll actually offer you a free welcome session, and it's something you think you could utilize then I would say, why not make the call? Who doesn't need a little help in their careers at any given point? I suppose out of fear, for some reason.. well, as I write this recommendation for Lori, I ask you to get over that initial instinct and picture yourself as successful as you could possibly imagine.. this is the person you'll become after meeting with Lori. Making the call to Lori will be a life changing event for you, I hope, as it was for me. It'll certainly take some self-discipline, but from my standpoint, I feel 100% that I just didn't have the tools to succeed whereas now, I have a whole slew of advice and practices that Lori helps to coach me through each week. She knows creatives, she is in fact one herself, but she's also mastered the art of actually getting things done, in a way that makes getting things done fun! I told her in a recent coaching session that a pipe dream of mine would be to eventually be represented by an agent. A month later, low and behold, I was signed to a great new agency in town. Anything that you want accomplished is possible.. and what I learned is that it's not just "you have to want it".. it's a lot more than that. You can want something really badly.. but if you don't know how to go about achieving it.. or if you think you do know how, but you keep finding yourself in a situation similar to mine, where what you really want to achieve just isn't happening, please please please do yourself the biggest favor of your life, and call Lori. Make that first appointment. You will thank yourself a million and one times, as will your significant other, and eventually, your kids, if you ever are so lucky to have them. Lori, I cannot thank you enough. You have changed my career in a way I never thought possible, and the results are sensational. I always look forward to our coaching session, and I always leave feeling empowered and ready to take on the world in new, actually productive ways in which, looking back, I truly had no idea how to ever achieve. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You've changed my career, my life, and my outlook, all of which are happy, healthy and a lot more successful in the months since meeting you. You are THE BEST!!!! read more

10 Stars if I could give them, but Yelp only gives 5! I met Lori and she just laid it out expertly and is extremely perceptive, passionate about her clients and supportive. After a career hickup which can be best defined by that scene at the end of "Cast Away" where Tom Hanks is at a 4 way intersection of long open desert roads leading to whatever may come, Lori has helped me find a job that I truly think puts me on the right path. read more

Wow. Lori is incredible. I had my first session with her today and I left feeling energized, happy and with a clear action plan to get me closer to where I want to be. She's incredibly intuitive and a wonderful listener -- she was able to pinpoint key factors that I wasn't paying attention to. I got extraordinary value from just one session. I feel more confident in my skills and abilities, but most importantly, I feel validated in going after what matters to me. Plus, Lori put me in contact with a professional looking to hire someone with my skills! How amazing is that? She's clearly deeply committed to helping others succeed. I'm looking forward to meeting with her again in the future. read more

"Lori has been a valuable mentor to me as I began my own creativity coaching business. She is kind, generous and really fun to talk with. Everytime we speak, I feel like I just talked to a kindred spirit and walk away feeling lighter. I also had a powerful session with her using Byron Katie's "The Work" (Lori is well versed in it from her training with Martha Beck). She helped me to realize where I was over-committing and over-doing things in my life and to see how much I longed for more white space time to go in and create my own art this winter, which is what my heart was really yearning for. I also now have the "work" tools to coach myself in other areas and have had wonderful results with them on my own. There are so many tools and approaches out there but Lori's were so simple. That is what I liked bst. This stuff works but best of all is Lori's energy. I adore her!" - Jana Carrey Creative Spirit Awakening www.creativespiritawakening.com read more

I gave myself the best birthday gift ever! A session with Lori Koop on my business! She helps people get in touch with your dream job! Your Dreams career can ignite the passion and motivation for happiness . Priceless read more

I don't know where to start. There are so many good things to say about this amazing, beautiful (inside and out), intuitive and smart woman. Lori is great at what she does. I booked a consultation with her, and not only was a late because I completely forgot about the appointment, i wasn't anywhere close to a computer. Lori was kind and patient enough to wait until I got home and jumped on the Skype call with me. Heres the crazy part, she didn't rush me at all. Were scheduled from 4-515 or something like that. I didnt even get on until 430 maybe 440 and we must have stayed on close to 6pm. She was so generous with her time I was shocked. She listened to everything I had to say, offered amazing advice and really helped me get clarity. I mentioned to her that some of the things she said were similar to a psychic I had a reading from just a week earlier on the same topic, funny how that works. I would highly recommend Lori to anyone looking for guidance in career, life or business. She knows her stuff, she knows how to ask the right questions and she does it in such a caring and compassionate way, it makes you feel like she's known you forever and she really cares. Anyway, I could go on and on and on about how awesome she was and how great the session was, but I think you get the point. PS The next day I had a 30 minute consult with someone else on the same topic ( I happened to book both on the same day, not knowing I was going to get such clarity from Loris session), and as soon as she figured out I wasnt going to buy her "package" she rushed me off the call. In all fairness, the other lady did still offer good value and a great follow up email. But it didnt feel as if she cared on the same level Lori did. A true "Giver" ( My favorite book btw) ! read more

Lori is a true gem. She is so smart and continues to challenge me over and over again by asking the right questions. My perspective on my career and life in general has changed so much for the better over just a few sessions. She gives you all the necessary tools to live a purposeful and amazing life. I can't thank her enough for all she has done to help me! read more

Lori is a real gem! She listens without judging, has incredible insight and gives you some really heart felt and life changing information in every visit. Just from seeing her a few times my business blossomed and I have acquired new tools as to how to deal with so many situations that would have previously intimidated or frustrated me. Thanks Lori!!! read more

I went to see Lori because I had a new job that I hated and had no clue how to improve my situation. I was definitely on the fence if Lori could even help me. I wanted (or so I thought) a coach who would review my skills and tell me I would be happier working in X career. After our first session together, I learned Lori wasn't going to give me the magical answer, but she was willing to push me to find what really made me happy. Now, one month later, I feel like a completely different person. Through our sessions, Lori gave me the tools to be the person I've always wanted to be, but never had the guts to do it. I owe my success to Lori Koop. Her personality, patience, and easiness to talk to is a rare find. Lori is a true example of an expert career/business/life coach. read more

I attended a "Right Brain Business Plan" workshop and participated in a mastermind group, both facilitated by Lori. She provides ideas, motivation and clarity, with a light, easy manner. She is genuine, smart and creative, making her a pleasure to work with. She is always thinking outside the box to come up with REAL WORLD solutions, making her an incredibly valuable resource. I HIGHLY recommend her to any entrepreneur seeking support and/or feedback along the way. read more

Lori really helped me to find my feet and gave me tools and advice to push myself towards my dreams. She is wonderfully supportive and always practical and allows you to discover for yourself the ways your business can improve in a way that is line with your authentic self. She has helped me change my attitude towards marketing and also identify the areas in my career that really feel true and which I am most passionate about. It has given me great confidence working with Lori and I highly recommend her services and coaching. She is a natural, warm, positive coach and got me standing in front of a crowd, preaching from my heart about what I care about in my first life-coaching seminar which was a great step for me. You will discover how to make your business better and feel that it is where you belong! Thanks Lori for everything! read more

Lori , you are simply amazing! I cannot ever thank you enough for the TREMENDOUS gifts you have given in facilitating a great number of epiphanies in my life recently. You are patient, kind, and, above all, genuinely and selflessly compassionate. I have so often entered your office in a state of near chaos, dealing with issues in my self confidence, procrastination, and a whirlwind of "which way do I go now?!" thoughts running through me. It's a small miracle every week that within a couple of hours following our session, everything becomes clear. I have been able to find peace in my personal life, peace in my business ventures, and the confidence to work through the fear and doubt by meeting it head on, seeing what it's about, and releasing it; along with it comes the clarity to stop procrastinating, and see past the distractions to get centered and make some REAL impact in this world. You are so brilliantly creative and impassioned in your work that one cannot help but to feel better just 5 minutes into a session. THANK YOU for believing in me, THANK YOU for helping me find my TRUE SELF! To anyone reading this also wondering if business coaching or life coaching is for you... Put in the work with Lori and kick some serious butt in your life and business. It won't just be the best decision you make today, it very well may be the best decision you make in life. You can do it; Lori can help. Patrick Diamond - protégé of Lori's since April, 2015 read more

Lori has been coaching me off and on for the last several years. She is my go to whenever I feel I'm not experiencing the results I want to see in my life... personally and professionally. She is efficient, effective and fun to work with. I always hang up the phone so grateful that I have her to coach and guide me. I get back on track with better focus and more energy. Thank you, Lori! Your work is life changing. read more

I met with Lori for my first career coaching session last week. I have been going through an intense midlife crisis, or midlife "evaluation" as my counselor prefers to call it, and felt that Lori demonstrated a keen balance between spirituality, brain theory knowledge, and the application of practical strategies to help guide me in achieving a sense of fulfillment in my life and career. It was only one session, but I know I will be returning soon. She has a positive and spiritual energy that is contagious and really inspiring. Lori is a life coach, career coach, and also a business coach. She has so much insight and practical knowledge to share in just one session. Check out her website if you think career coaching or life coaching might benefit you. It was definitely a worthwhile experience for me. read more

Best 1 hour I've spent in recent memory. Lori has been very helpful. She listened to my story and gave me a lot of pointers. She has even followed up with many emails. Highly recommend! read more

I have been working with Lori since March and I am already reaping the rewards of her unique and inspiring coaching! I have a successful business but am also an artist. I have been stuck in a rut not wanting to grow my business any further (though there is great growth potential) for fear that my creative time would disappear completely. After a few private sessions and really working through my needs I am happy to say that I have hired an amazing Director to help me grow my business while carving out MORE time for my creativity. Not bad for 8 weeks of work :-) can't wait to see what else I'll be able to accomplish with Lori's guidance, support and encouragement! Thank you Lori!! read more

Lori is a great listener, kind, thoughtful, and very intuitive. She helped me recently to make some difficult business decisions that had to be made quickly. Great to have an objective and thoughtful point of view from an smart, experienced entrepeneur. Would gladly use her services again. Thanks, Lori! read more

Lori is simply the best. She is one of the most genuine people I've ever met. She has a wonderful energy about her that really motivates you to make changes. She has the gift of being able to get to the heart of the matter and help you break things down in digestible, productive steps to get to your end goal. She is very generous with her advice and time and goes out of her way to check in on me in between our meetings. Every time I leave her office (a quaint, calm, beautiful space), I feel focused and energized to take action. I'm so grateful for all of Lori's help and wisdom. read more

Lori has been coaching me for just a few sessions so far, but it has already been extremely helpful. She has a great presence, and does a very good job of getting to know me. She has re-framed some things for me that have been very helpful. She also helps me with focus, and moving forward in a productive manner. I look forward to my next coaching session with Lori. read more

I am a graduate of the Right Brain Business Plan and I receive continued support from Lori in a Mastermind Group and from her personal coaching. I have learned from Lori that our personal values mirror our business values. Working as an entrepreneur is exhilarating and authentic. A career from that foundation can only be successful. I could not have taken the steps I have without Lori's guidance. I am most grateful. My favorite thing about Lori is her gentle ways and evident compassion for her clients. read more

I have been working with Lori individually and in her Mastermind Group and I'd like to say that she has the loveliest gift for coaching. She's a gentle and effective guide through your own distractions, fears and confusion to get you back on track to your purpose. read more

Where do I begin...When I first opened my business, I met with Lori for a series of sessions. She truly helped me get started and create a plan for success. Five years later, here I am... a bit unenthusiastic and unfocused about what I was doing and where my business was headed. I am back to see Lori. With my ongoing sessions, I feel so focused and excited about my business and the direction it's headed. I see growth and definitely a difference in myself. She is invaluable. As an entrepreneur, I recommend investing in yourself and your business. read more

Lori's approach was both gentle and strongly motivating. After our first session, I felt like a tsunami wave had hit me - in a good way! I had thought my creativity/art-business issues were about one thing, but by the end of the session realized they were about something else. Lori opened my eyes with her questions, receptivity, and encouraging spirit. Thank you, Lori! read more

I came in to see Lori with a head full of ideas and confusion and she really help me suss out the important things from the less important. I'm grateful to her for ability to be present and provide useful solutions specific to me and my desires regarding my business. read more

Any five-star review of Lori also counts as a five-star review of the reviewer, because she really excels at guiding her clients to fulfill their own individual amazingness. Working with Lori is kind of like getting a library of useful motivational/business books uploaded directly into your brain, combined with a creative, compassionate, supportive, make-it-happen personal trainer for your career and work-life balance. If you want clarity and focus, she's the one; if you've already been working towards specific goals and need to get over obstacles, big or small, she's the one. Super generous, and her effective, easygoing coaching sneaks right up on you to deliver the goods. read more

I was looking for a task master business coach who would basically hold my feet to the fire, but I gave Lori a try based off of all the positive reviews, and the fact that she offers a free initial 10 minute conversation followed by another free initial hour + consultation. I thought that was impressively confident, and honorable. It took me a little while to buy into her process, because it was, quite honestly, the opposite of what I was originally looking for, but as it turns out, she's the real deal. She's not a band aid. She's working from the core of what's holding you back from achieving all that you can. Just as I started with her, an article came out in the NYTimes about the results of an extensive study on procrastination, and the results really confirmed for me the work that I've been doing with Lori. They basically stated that procrastination is not a time management problem, it's an emotion management problem. I could feel the work that I was doing with her work inside myself. I'm now constantly catching and correcting myself from saying, "I have..." to do something to "I want..." to do something, and "I choose..." to do something. I know, to some, things like that seem trivial, but scientific evidence is starting to point to the power of the stories we tell ourselves etc. I must add, that eventually, and I mean within a few weeks, not months, we did get into more of the nuts and bolts ways to improve productivity, but it does still come back to the storytelling. I was looking for a quick fix, but now I see that it's really a process and I'm excited to be moving forward in that process. read more

Working with Lori was a game changer for me and my business! Before meeting with Lori, I was in a major rut. Business was good but I still felt like something was missing. The excitement was dwindling, and the future seemed unknown. When you own a business, the business can become your whole life, so issues can feel overwhelming. Sometimes it's hard for family and friends to understand the life of a business owner, so it's difficult to find someone to talk to. I'm so glad I found Lori, because talking to her is like talking to a personal therapist and a top-notch business strategist rolled into one. Through several in-depth sessions, we got to the root of my frustrations, and outlined how I could move forward and be happy. I really felt like she completely understood me. She opened my eyes to new ideas. Above all, she gave me confidence! Because of Lori, I'm currently making some major changes to my business (and life) and I couldn't be more excited. read more

Lori gave me ideas that i can implement in my business. It was easy to connect with her. Looking forward to more sessions with Lori

Lori is amazing! She is very focused, a deep listener and very tuned in to body language. She brings a holistic perspective which includes listening for the heart and the spirit. Lori leads with open, honest questions that both gently challenge and encourage. I got so much out of one visit, and am looking forward to a follow-up appointment. read more

I really enjoy working with Lori. She has really given me the structure and framework to really think about the choices I want to make with my career. She is supportive and works with those who are not running their own business as well as those who are. I have been better able to tap into what I am really interested in and passionate about to drive the decisions going forward. read more

Lori is a fantastic life coach, whom I would highly recommend to anyone. In 4 sessions, she helped me break free of a block that had been holding me back for years. She's totally present and totally invested in helping you live the life you've always wanted. She made me feel comfortable immediately. She's pleasant, a joy to chat with and very insightful. Her office is located inside The Center for Wellbeing, a small, tranquil space which houses skincare and medical healing arts professionals, in the quaint downtown area of Sierra Madre. Best thing is, the cost was way more affordable than psychotherapy and for my pressing issue was more effective. If you're looking for some guidance, see Lori Koop. You will be glad you did. read more

I loved working with Lori. Lori helped me get greater clarity about some confusion I was having about my new business I was starting . I am the kind of person that gets overwhelmed quickly which then leads me to overthinking and underdoing. Lori was able to slice through my confusion and help me get crystal clear about my vision and audience as well as hone in on some pretty effective business strategies. She is so great at reading between the lines and seeing all aspects of your business and then, with great wisdom and commitment to your dream, she helps you move forward in a way that creates momentum and success. I love that she gets the "creative types" such as myself as it makes it so much easier to talk to her. She really understands what it takes to help you launch or accelerate your creative business. if you are a "right-brained" professional that thinks outside of the box and needs some guidance in business, go see Lori... you will be glad you did! read more

I had a 1.5 hour phone call with Lori a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed speaking with her. She's very generous with her time and really makes you feel like she's listening to what you're saying, responding thoughtfully to your comments and questions. Although I haven't met her in person I felt like she really understood me, and she was able to help illuminate for me how I can be more in-tune with my innermost thoughts, and in so doing make better decisions for myself and my career. I highly recommend you trying out her services! She's really sweet, caring, and effective at helping you cut through the things that might be holding you back from reaching your professional and personal goals. read more

When I was looking for some direction in a new career path, Lori was able to help me get over the hump. What I enjoyed the most was how natural our sessions felt--like conversations with a friend! We started the session with a three-minute meditation and from then on, she listened, gave me insight and explained some great ideas regarding how my body, and how it feels, should inform my decision-making. I cannot do all her teachings justice, but the result of my sessions with her, were feeling empowered and like a renewed-person with purpose. I also want to mention that she goes to great lengths to make her office and waiting area extremely accommodating, welcoming, and adorably-decorated. She has dozens of types of teas and it just goes with the whole vibe. I highly recommend her coaching. Thanks Lori! read more
