Who We Are

Laura Luykx

GreatDoor Life Coaching, LLC

I coach people to find their purpose and uncover their passion.

What is Life Coaching?

A PROCESS for discovering your life purpose and recognizing your passions.

A JOURNEY on which I assist you to identify what is most important to you and together we create action plans that reflects your priorities.

AN EXPERIENCE in which you are empowered to make your own choices and solve your own problems.

A RELATIONSHIP where you are esteemed as the remarkable individual you are, without judgment.

I believe that coaching is the missing piece for many people on a journey of personal and professional growth. They may have insights and empowering belief systems, but they don’t know exactly how to put them into daily practice in a way that really impact their lives. Many nationally know motivational superstars work with a coach, because they know the power of this process. I have someone who coaches me.

What are you resigned to? What are you putting up with that you would like to see improve? If there were no obstacles, what would you do, be and have? When you know who you truly are, separate from what other people want or expect of you, you are better equipped to build a life that you love. Your values and deepest desires inform every aspect of your life and your actions are an expression of your authentic being. I help people all over the U.S. to decide where they want to make improvements in their lives, so that they can live more in alignment with their core values and dreams. Together we create multiple action plans to achieve those changes. Life coaching is action-oriented and focused on the future.

In our coaching sessions I will:

  • help you navigate through times of crisis and transition.
  • help you discover what you really want in all areas of life.
  • help you have better personal and professional relationships.
  • help you make headway on goals where you feel stuck.
  • advocate for your dreams and listen to you without judgment.
My role is to help you uncover and rediscover the brilliance you already posses, not tell you what to do. I'll be your partner in building a life that you are excited to live because it is an expression of who you truly are. Life coaching is not a program or set of steps to plug into and follow. It is a fluid process for learning skills that will enable you to solve current and future problems and allow you to take control of your life in a new way. Those same skills will enable you to design and create a life that you love.

I work nation-wide by phone. In person sessions are available for local clients. Because coaching is a process, I require a minimum of 4 sessions.

Client Testimonial

“I have been working with Laura since July 2008, and the experience has been life-changing. I have never known someone who is so skilled at “hearing” me. I can stumble through trying to put an idea into words and then she mirrors it back to me with fantastic clarity. It's still my idea/thought, but now it has "teeth;" it's something I can work with. Her focus is ALWAYS on what I want and need, and then how she can support me in getting there. She helps me identify ways that I can focus on my strengths instead of being distracted by my weaknesses. And that applies to all fronts: work, relationships, belief systems, dreams, fears, LIFE. I am very grateful for Laura's contribution to helping me make my life better.” ~ LM, Mocksville, NC

Meet Laura Luykx

Laura has also studied Reiki, Acutonics and Emotional Stress Defusion and uses these practices as a powerful adjunct to coaching.

She has worked in the law library of the U.S. Supreme Court, for the patent and trademark firm of Arnold, White and Durkee, and in the personnel department of The United States Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs.
