What our graduates say...
What our graduates say...
"This training is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE and has exceeded any thought possible. I'm ELATED over all the new tools that I've learned AND BEEN USING in my private life, in sessions with my clients and sharing with so many. Thank you with all of my heart for the tremendous support and being able to join this and learn so much. I'm forever grateful... If you are even in the slightest considering this complete goldmine school for thriving relationships, dive STRAIGHT IN… There is AMAZING INCREDIBLE material and live calls each week. Just in awe. The amount of information you receive in JUST ONE module is packed with goodies and all of them are GEMS and so helpful tools to really assist others and our own personal lives to thrive in love. ...this training is for ANYONE and ALL. EVERYONE should really do this class before dating even! Bret and Christine are by far two of the utmost magical and fun, positive, caring, loving humans ever ever ever. I can't even begin to tell you how deeply touched I am by the LOVE they emanate and embody. I was longing for more of a community in my practice and as a solo entrepreneur and this really was an answer to my prayers. THANK YOU with ALL MY HEART."
“I originally signed up for this program thinking it could help us in our relationship and possibly be useful for me to gain the skills to help others too. I quickly realized how much value you had packed into the sessions, and you exceeded every expectation on every level. Our relationship has benefited, as has my relationship with our adult children and grandchildren. Bret and Christine have hearts of pure gold....and the love they extend into the world is having its effect and now we all can catch that beautiful energy and multiply it out even further. When I have coached my clients, they have all said they have had other coaches for a session or two and mine was fantastic and streets ahead of the one they quit. This program feels like there is not one of us being left behind and your support of all of us is exceptional. I thank you with all my HEART for what you have given me through this experience and all the tangible takeaways too.”
"I love catching the contagious, authentic positivity and love that Bret and Christine give out. Christine and Bret really encourage us to find and celebrate the gifts we each have within us, so we can all emerge as our very different and amazing selves. We pick up so much misinformation from our upbringings, our education and our culture, that we really need this well-researched course to undo those untrue stories we tell ourselves that get in the way of us thriving in life. The tools I have learned have turned around decades of old patterns for me and my partner.”
"I can't begin to express how impressed I've been with the spiritual depth, intelligence, and love put into this program. I'm beyond honored and grateful to have this knowledge and to have learned from the bright hearts and minds of both Bret and Christine.”
"Bret and Christine are a dream! They really give you everything you need to feel fully supported and cared for… far beyond what I could have imagined. They work so beautifully together in trainings, inspiring you along the way. As you go through the program, you have the opportunity to ask any questions you have, which is huge. The investment is soooo worth it. Christine sets you up to start taking clients with the business bootcamp sessions in the last 8 weeks of training. I would have never even known where to start when it came to business! ...too easy! (with her guidance!). I had perused other coaching programs online before signing up for this one. Some offer a much shorter training… and I can’t imagine leaving a shorter training with THIS MUCH incredible knowledge PLUS the tools to use in my own practice. My own relationship with my partner has become even stronger as a result of going through the tools and trainings together. That alone is worth it to me! This program has pushed me out of my comfort zone in a big way… magic is happening! I’m excited to dive into the new possibilities this program has opened up for me… it’s been an incredible experience all around."
"I feel it is opening up a new chapter for me. For years, I have always loved those situations where I would talk to people and help them to come to new insights of their own. Such situations were few and far between, however. I yearned for more experiences where I could help others... But I didn’t know how to bring that into my life. This program is the way! Bret and Christine are amazing instructors! Their excitement for teaching this material is so apparent. And rightly so – the material is about helping others to achieve thriving loving relationships and live their lives to the fullest. Their support and spirit sets the tone for the whole course. They have such a talent for making concepts easy to understand and bringing new insights. In so many sessions, I had a-ha moments where I was able to look at things in a new way in my own life."
“What I love the most is that this course is a source and reflection of community. You are not in it by yourself. Bret and Christine's love for their work and us I would have not expected. I love their energy and the amazing generosity to and for their clients amaze me every module. I would recommend this program because it will blow your mind as to how every module is strategically geared towards how you best learn and comprehend. What sets them apart is Bret and Christine's heart for each class member. They create a safe space for you to be you and ask questions galore. Love them bunches.”
"The handouts are love rituals, birthed from Bret and Christine's passion for loving connection. I was blown away by the sheer quantity of them and the absolute devotion of Christine and Bret in this work. It's such an inspiration to witness people living their lives' purposes and making the world a more loving place as a result. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who values love and connection. For people who want to have a better understanding of how our past influences our present relationships and what to do to strengthen them. Definitely for prospective coaches, or anyone interested in helping others actualize deeply meaningful lives."
"The content is unrivaled. It saved my own 30-year marriage after infidelity, and we're now thriving! …our relationship became something so different, so brilliant, so healthful and so immediate! And those who knew us, couldn't believe our transformation. Now, we're the couple other couples want to emulate! Bret and Christine are born healers and leaders...super easy to learn from. Since starting the course, anytime I share info with anybody, I'm seen as an authority and people trust the information. I was going to simply allow this training to be of benefit to my own marriage, but as I progressed through the curriculum, I found it really easy to talk to others about what I was learning, and each time turned into a mini session! I've helped people before even graduating! I quickly changed up how I thought about why I was taking this course. Not only is it growing and improving my own relationship, but others around me as well. I can see myself as a Center for Thriving Relationships messenger now. The need is so vast, it's indescribable! I can't wait to watch other relationships expand and improve similar to the way my own has! I feel like I won the lottery! I'm eternally indebted to Bret and Christine. They are the sole reason we were able to save our 30 year marriage. I never knew thriving existed in relationships! The content and theories that make up the Center for Thriving Relationships are so complete and all inclusive. It's applicable and highly effective for anyone who applies their principles to any relationship.”
"Your team is top-notch, and your tools are rich and clear. Thank you for the exposure, the books, the tools and your idea of openness to transfer your knowledge."
"I really loved the entire program. It helped me so much in my personal growth in my relationship, and now I feel inspired and ready to share all the tools with others. In my opinion, the Thriving Relationship is the best program for relationship coaches and I am so glad that I came across them. Thank you so much!"
"The content was excellent (far exceeded expectations), the quality of responses at the Q&A and the regular live element is great! Also the bonus session speakers plus the generosity of the biz boot camps - I am of course (like everyone else!) totally in love and awe with Bret and Christine. They make my heart swell. It's extraordinary value for money and you feel totally and generously supported. I couldn't recommend more highly."

They bring it to life in such an engaging way! The program also includes so much support and education about the process of coaching and how to work with clients.

Emyli's Coach Certification Experience
"I didn't know what I was going to learn that I didn't already know. And I'll tell you—it blew my mind. There's so much I didn't know. It was so eye-opening. It was so thorough, so actionable. I was just so impressed. I'm a hard one to impress. I've been in a lot of coaching programs in my past. I rarely find a coaching program that I think is more thorough than my own. And this program was so thorough. It gave me everything I needed. It came with so many usable exercises and worksheets that I could help my clients with. I felt 100% comfortable going forward after the certification was over. Even if you don't even apply it in a professional setting, it's going to help you personally in every relationship. And thank you for an amazing program. It's totally life-changing."
- Emyli Volz
Laura and Derek's Certification Experience
"The material is presented in such a way that you can learn it and you can feel confident... I would say if someone's considering the program and is a little hesitant, one hundred, one thousand percent do it! Christine and Bret and the whole team at Center for Thriving Relationships have gone above and beyond in putting the materials together. It is well beyond the time and the financial investment. It will change your life in so many positive ways that you're not even expecting yet. It'll change all of your relationships for the better. We have gone on to do our own presentation on cultivating a thriving relationship with the tools learned at the Center for Thriving Relationships. That presentation was at the largest sex-positive conference in the world— a super proud moment."
- Laura Taber and Derek Sander
Thuy's Coach Certification Experience
"Amazed by how comprehensive the program is. It covers everything you need to know about love and relationships with a complete set of well-prepared guides and worksheets that I can share with my clients. I can feel my relationship with my husband is stronger than ever—he expresses his love and affection more openly and frequently than before. I feel much more confident as a Certified Thriving Relationship Coach. I feel very well equipped with all the tools and materials... I got my first paid client immediately after completing the training—it’s really, really powerful and wonderful to not just apply these tools to my own relationship but use it to help other couples."
-Thuy Nguyen
Jack's Coach Certification Experience
"One of the things I really loved about the program is not only Christine's enthusiasm—I mean, she just exudes love—but Bret has that gentle thoughtfulness. And you think, these people can be my coach. They live what they preach.
When I saw this coaching program and saw that it had a practical element in launching a business so that I didn't have to guess how to do this, it was a no-brainer. Get in there. It was great to become part of a community. I got to coach but also be coached. I think one of the things that Bret and Christine bring to the program is that they've been in this awhile. This is 20 years of experience speaking. It's incredible to see that they are living what they're speaking about. It’s fun to watch them. They just are so open, so real, so authentic..."

Jené's Coach Certification Experience
"This program has prepared me to be a relationship coach in so many ways. It has prepared me by giving me the tools and giving me the confidence to use those tools. Christine and Bret as instructors are phenomenal. They are forever present throughout the entire course. You ask a question, they answer it. You post a question on Facebook, you get an answer typically within minutes. They are truly there every step of the way for you. You will absolutely conquer self-doubt with this program because it can be a completely new career path without having previous experience in it. I trust in what I have learned because their tools are so phenomenal and their process truly is amazing."
-Jené Arbuckle
Amanda's Coach Certification Experience
"What I love about this program is that Bret and Christine shared evidence-based therapies and modalities that weren’t even covered in my graduate classes. I learned so much from them about couples work, and I now feel more prepared than I did leaving graduate school. They go above and beyond, making sure that the information is based on both science and compassion. This program was an amazing investment for me as a therapist because it really changed my skill set for the better. It enhanced what I was able to give my clients by an incredible degree. I’m really, really grateful I invested in it, and I know it will be paid forward to all the people I help."
-Amanda McKenzie
Jennifer's Coach Certification Experience
"If you're considering the certification but feeling nervous, I can honestly say it was well worth the investment. As a single mom of two amazing girls, I have a busy schedule, but the way the coursework is structured made it easy to fit into my life. The flexibility of the program, combined with the regular check-in sessions, made all the difference. It truly felt like a supportive journey, and I'm so glad that I took the leap.
One of my proudest moments is when clients experience breakthroughs and see things from a new perspective. What surprised me the most was how much I could apply the material to my relationships across the board..."
- Jennifer Struffert
Hi, We're Bret and Christine Eartheart.
We are thrilled you are here!
After practicing for many years as a licensed psychotherapist (Bret) and coach (Christine), we opened the Center for Thriving Relationships over a decade ago.
Although we loved supporting individuals (and continue to), it became undeniable: nothing transformed people’s lives as much as when we helped them in their relationships — because our relationships reveal our opportunities for growth and impact our quality of life more than anything else.
As a married couple, we knew the journey firsthand — the pain of not knowing the way and then the tremendous relief, ease, joy, and fulfillment that became possible when we learned to create thriving love.
We’ve now been together over 20 years and are truly in the marriage of our dreams. We want this for every couple in the world.
We’ve been honored to help thousands of couples save their marriages and transform their relationships through our coaching, retreats, and online programs.
We’ve studied and learned from the greatest relationship pioneers of our time, like Dr. John Gottman, Dr. Sue Johnson, Drs. Gay and Katie Hendricks, Dr. Harville Hendrix, Dr. Stephen Porges, tantra teachers, and many others.
We are so excited you are here and to share with you the exact formula for getting couples fast, repeatable, powerful, and lasting results.
More from our graduates...
"We have been through counseling, coaching, intensives, retreats, etc. We've done it all. This was like an immersion experience, which was exactly what we/I needed to get out of the hard place we've been stuck in for a long time. I loved learning from a male and female perspective together. I loved learning from a coach and a licensed therapist together. I loved the books we read and the way that all the presentations and handouts helped us to apply them in our own lives and in our clients' lives. The flexibility was so perfect and helpful. I love the sense of community and all the helpful voices chiming in when we need support or encouragement. I love the positive energy. So many great things!!! I am so grateful for this experience.”
"I am beyond grateful for this program! Our instructors, Bret and Christine, give you the most researched knowledge and abundance of actual tools that bring so much confidence to be able to do this work. Not only do they generously give you training sessions, tools, sample sessions, and business sessions, but they do everything with the utmost compassion and generosity. Their kindness and compassion is truly what I believe can make the biggest difference amongst other programs. All aspects of the program truly gave me the knowledge and confidence to know that this is truly the work that I know and believe in my heart to do. I am beyond grateful to Bret and Christine!”
"I enrolled in this program to become certified in relationship coaching, but I am graduating with so much more than a certificate! Taught in an organized, compassionate and enthusiastic way, Christine and Bret bring their experience and passion for helping others to each session. Combining backgrounds in science, psychology and energy healing, with experience and expertise in coaching couples, they show up fully for every session. Each person who enrolls in this course is valued, respected and encouraged to share their own unique light with the world. Whether to invest for personal growth (you are worth it!), or to start a coaching business (Christine will walk you through every step - yes, really!!) this life-changing program delivers!
"Bret and Christine are phenomenal. No words can express my gratitude for their nurturing characters. They are patient, caring, open, and nonjudgmental. I will forever be grateful.”
“I ran from this path for 20 years, knowing that this is what I was meant to do but felt that I was not good enough and had no experience – but I also did not want to go back to college. I am so happy to have finally taken that leap of faith. The insane support I have gotten from the team has been a blessing. This is worth more than a college degree. And I can now say, I feel properly equipped, comfortable and confident to dive into this world and help other couples!”
"This program has exceeded ALL of my expectations. It has profoundly impacted my life from the center of my heart -- how I relate to self, how I relate to others, and my confidence in having something to offer as a coach. I was so delighted to see the many avenues of support and access to materials. Bret and Christine are phenomenal instructors and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend it to others. Bret's understanding of all the science and psychology has been super helpful for me, and Christine's joyous personality, energetics and gifts round out the program so SO beautifully. Their presence in this program sets it apart from other programs out there. They are SUCH a power duo, that we are all more blessed to have their gifts balance each other out so beautifully!"
“I highly recommend the Thriving Relationships Coaching course with Christine and Bret. I not only feel overly-prepared to start coaching couples, I also can see the changes it has made in myself as well as my relationship with others. The fact the class is taught by a real life couple with such love and compassion for others is honestly the icing on the cake. Christine has such a beautiful way at looking at situations, and when she teaches, it just clicks with me. Bret brings another side of expertise and so much knowledge of the Psychological side of things. It’s such a beautiful combination, which allows for a deep learning experience. So excited to go and help couples not only better themselves individually but be witness to seeing their relationships thrive.”
“I appreciate how it is grounded in research but at the same time does not feel ‘too heady.’ The class is full of positive energy and real tools that I can use with clients. When I transitioned from student to a coach working with clients, I felt prepared and confident. I love Christine and Bret as instructors. They have a way of making everyone feel welcome and a valuable member of Team Love.”
“Bret and Christine were able to bring a beautiful balance of tender care, well supported science, and respectful nuance to every single module. The depth and breadth of content blew me away and I feel so prepared to support clients from this foundation. The relationship I have with myself and the people around me are changed for the better having done this program and I cannot wait to extend that to clients as well."
“It is truly enlightening and teaches so many principles and tools couples can apply to have a thriving relationship -- and covers so many real-life situations. The whole course has ABSOLUTELY exceeded my expectations! Christine and Bret are an AMAZING duo, and you cannot fake the love and genuineness they share with one another as well as with the Coaches! Plus, they are deeply knowledgeable about the field of relationships and such wonderful instructors! I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone who would like to become a Certified Relationship Coach! Even my own marriage has improved as a result of this course! Why SURVIVE when you can THRIVE!”

“I've done other classes, retreats, and programs over the years, and I have to say this program was one of the most polished and professional. And the way they mix that with always coming from the heart is amazing. This program is based on so much research and documentation and was transformative, truly transformative… It changed our marriage. The tools are amazing. To have been given all of these tools with the access to them forever is just remarkable. I was in love with Christine, and their energy together is just so fun. They are so authentic in what they share, and you just find yourself chuckling and enjoying seeing such a thriving relationship – to actually see in place what you're aspiring to learn is just a marvel, and I just love the two of them. Such a wonderful experience. I am shocked, honestly, by what we got for the cost of this program. It could be five times what we paid for it. And that'd be very reasonable. Again, you don't generally get more than just maybe a few tools in a workshop – so to walk away with a toolbox that has 50+ tools…and to make you feel so at home…was remarkable. This is such a value that I just hope you don't miss it. I really encourage you, if you're considering doing this program, do it. You have so much possibility and openings that are going to come to you in this program, and the miracle is waiting for you.”

I am so happy to have finally taken that leap of faith. The insane support I have gotten from the team has been a blessing. This is worth more than a college degree. And I can now say, I feel properly equipped, comfortable and confident to dive into this world and help other couples!”
"This program has exceeded ALL of my expectations. It has profoundly impacted my life from the center of my heart -- how I relate to self, how I relate to others, and my confidence in having something to offer as a coach. I was so delighted to see the many avenues of support and access to materials. Bret and Christine are phenomenal instructors and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend it to others. Bret's understanding of all the science and psychology has been super helpful for me, and Christine's joyous personality, energetics and gifts round out the program so SO beautifully. Their presence in this program sets it apart from other programs out there. They are SUCH a power duo, that we are all more blessed to have their gifts balance each other out so beautifully!"
“I highly recommend the Thriving Relationships Coaching course with Christine and Bret. I not only feel overly-prepared to start coaching couples, I also can see the changes it has made in myself as well as my relationship with others. The fact the class is taught by a real life couple with such love and compassion for others is honestly the icing on the cake. Christine has such a beautiful way at looking at situations, and when she teaches, it just clicks with me. Bret brings another side of expertise and so much knowledge of the Psychological side of things. It’s such a beautiful combination, which allows for a deep learning experience. So excited to go and help couples not only better themselves individually but be witness to seeing their relationships thrive.”
“I can't believe you have shared all of your tools and resources. I can read the books and listen to podcasts, but knowing how to translate that into a session is complex. Your tools do all of that for us. It is so generous.”
“I appreciate how it is grounded in research but at the same time does not feel ‘too heady.’ The class is full of positive energy and real tools that I can use with clients. When I transitioned from student to a coach working with clients, I felt prepared and confident. I love Christine and Bret as instructors. They have a way of making everyone feel welcome and a valuable member of Team Love.”
“Bret and Christine were able to bring a beautiful balance of tender care, well supported science, and respectful nuance to every single module. The depth and breadth of content blew me away and I feel so prepared to support clients from this foundation. The relationship I have with myself and the people around me are changed for the better having done this program and I cannot wait to extend that to clients as well."
“It is very enlightening! I love how it teaches so many principles a couple could apply to have a thriving relationship! This course covers so many real-life situations that couples could apply to get their relationship on the right track! The whole course has ABSOLUTELY exceeded my expectations! Christine and Bret are an Ah-Mazing duo! I mean, you cannot fake the love and genuineness they share with one another as well as with the Coaches! The way they look at each other expresses so much love! They are very knowledgeable about the field of relationships. They are wonderful instructors! I would wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone who would like to become a Certified Relationship Coach! My own marriage has improved as a result of this course! Why SURVIVE when you can THRIVE!"
Denise's Coach Certification Experience
"I've done other classes, retreats, and programs over the years, and this was one of the most polished and professional—while always coming from the heart. This program is based on so much research and was truly transformative. It changed our marriage. The tools are amazing, and having lifetime access is remarkable. I am shocked, honestly, for what we got for the cost of this program. It could be five times what we paid for it. You have so much possibility and openings that are going to come to you in this program, and the miracle is waiting for you. I just hope you don't miss it." -Denise Malayeri

-Monique Philpot
Jake's Coach Certification Experience
"I had in the past been interested in counseling work, but it all felt so loose and like I wouldn't know what to say at any given moment. The way they (Christine and Bret) have designed their coaching system, with the use of these tools and processes, gives you a really clear structure to guide couples through. It makes it so clear what to do... and a lot easier to get going and be able to really help people, even when you're new."
-Jake Sparks
Renee's Coach Certification Experience
"This has helped me to grow, my marriage to grow, and now be able to show someone else the magnitude of life changes that are possible. This course is set apart from anything else that I've learned in my entire lifetime. I was just floored at the learning tools they provided. They gave us everything that we need and not just the heart, but the brain and the mind. And they put it all together in a package for us to succeed. I learned skills that will last me a lifetime. It's changed me for the better."

"I feel very prepared to be a couple’s coach. The program felt like a vibrant, engaged community where we were all learning together. I have taken other coaching programs that did not set us up to move right into a business—but Bret and Christine have created a bounty of tools that truly prepare us. This program has changed my life. It has given me a different kind of confidence. Coaching feels like it could be hard and difficult and sort of scary, but Bret and Christine have made it feel like it's accessible and useful."

What sets this program apart?
- The Program is Taught By a Thriving Couple
Having been together for 20+ years, we know the journey of relationships firsthand. After being on the edge of separation many years ago, we are immeasurably grateful to now enjoy the marriage of our dreams that truly just keeps getting better.
But it’s not because we are lucky or simply found “the one.” It’s because we very intentionally created it — using the exact tools we’ve now shared with thousands of couples around the world to help them transform their relationships too.
It’s so important to us that we live in congruence with what we teach, and we are wholeheartedly committed to modeling and embodying what’s possible in love.
As a couple, we also offer both the feminine and masculine perspective, which many find invaluable. Plus, we combine a harmonious blend of joyful enthusiasm, wholeheartedness, and deep empathy (Christine) with down-to-Earth, sage-like wisdom (Bret).
It is very rare to get trained by a couple.
- Combines the Science and Heart of Relationships
Knowing the latest relationship research and understanding what happens in the brain and nervous system in times of stress, disconnect, desire, and conflict — these are all essential and can be really powerful in grounding the concepts (for yourself and your clients) and helping otherwise resistant clients open to change.
However, science and research can also become too intellectual. That’s why we make sure you are also stockpiled with concrete, easy-to-apply processes, tools, and somatic practices that open hearts and facilitate powerful transformation your clients will undoubtedly feel.
- Create a Successful Coaching Business
One of the complaints we hear about other programs is that you learn all the tools to become a great coach but then have no idea how to find clients and develop a thriving practice.
Rest assured, we’ve got you covered.
We personally guide you through 8 workshop-style Business Bootcamp sessions that make it fun, easy, and completely doable to create your successful practice from scratch.
Plus, we’ve also partnered with one of the greatest business visionaries of our time who has helped entrepreneurs around the world scale their coaching businesses to 6 and 7 figures, and, after graduation, you also get completely free support for 6 months from him and his team.
- Perspective of Both Therapist and Coach
Receive both the guidance of a licensed psychotherapist who has worked with couples in hospitals, mental health clinics, emergency rooms, and private practice (Bret), alongside a master coach, somatic practitioner, and healer who has seen thousands of clients over the past 16+ years (Christine).
Many programs offer the perspective of one or the other, and we are thrilled to offer you both.
Why is this helpful? Traditionally trained psychotherapists are well versed in how our childhood and past relationships influence us — as well as how to navigate more challenging situations like anxiety, narcissism, addictions, depression, and trauma.
This is priceless to have and ensures you are a highly ethical, responsible, grounded, and capable coach.
However, traditional couples therapy can sometimes feel heavy and become too focused on what’s wrong and the past and lead to couples feeling even more stuck in their issues.
This is where coaching comes in. Coaching tends to be results-oriented, forward-thinking, and uplifting, ensuring couples move forward and upward into new possibilities together.
We love to combine both. Therapeutic and whole-being healing processes with tangible tools and positive results.
We do deep work but also make it fun and inspiring — for you and your clients.
- Unique Approach That Gets Results…Fast
Did you know many couples get worse after going to couples counseling? Unfortunately, many relationship coaches and counselors provoke couples and stir things up — but then don’t know how to get them out of conflict or guide them in creating new, healthy ways of relating that cultivate deeper closeness and joy.
Countless couples have come to us to repair the damage done in traditional counseling and coaching. We hear horror stories from couples who would leave their therapist’s office feeling even worse and more disconnected.
They are thrilled to discover our unique approach and realize that sessions become the most bonding, meaningful date nights.
We believe relationship healing and transformation — although it does take effort — can be enjoyable (and even fun!) for everyone involved.
We are committed to teaching you a unique style of relationship coaching that ensures couples walk out of their sessions feeling relieved, hopeful, connected, and eager to return.
Plus, rather than you burning out (like most marriage therapists do), you will be energized, deeply moved, and well compensated for your life-changing work.

We are all in relationships of various kinds (parents, colleagues, friends, neighbors, family, etc.), and we have no doubt you will be able to relate to everything we explore.
Plus, you will become fully equipped to create the best relationship imaginable whenever you are ready.
Certified Relationship Coaches typically earn $100-$250+ per session, and you will be more than able to make your money back in a matter of weeks or months, depending on how many clients you are interested in seeing weekly.
Yes, you can either pay in full or choose the payment plan option.
In order to receive your certification, complete all modules and 8 practice sessions (to maintain confidentiality for the client, sessions are documented via writing, not video).
Great question — and YES! We’ve researched every other relationship coach training out there, and we can say with certainty: there is nothing else like this on the planet. If you want to be an expert in knowing how to help couples transform any of the challenges they’re facing and create the best relationship imaginable (all while up-leveling all the relationships in your own life), we’ve got you covered, and this program gives you everything you need and will be full of love, joy, and meaning.
Plus, as we’ve mentioned, you are not only going to have phenomenal skills as a relationship coach, we’re going to help set you up with a successful and growing business too.
We highly recommend staying on track with the group as much as possible, as the collective momentum of the group will be powerful, connecting, and motivating. However, we are also completely flexible, so rest assured that you can take as long as necessary to complete all program components and graduate whenever you’re ready.
You will find yourself among many kindred spirits in this program. Caring and empathetic people are often the ones drawn to this work, and your sensitivities are your superpowers.
We will absolutely go over all of our favorite hacks for managing, cleansing, and protecting your own energy so you are uplifted and rejuvenated from this work.
Plus, it isn’t about simply sitting and listening to couples in tough places, and it’s different than supporting a friend through a tough time (which can feel heavy). You will have full permission to actually coach your clients, and you will witness amazing breakthroughs right before your eyes — which is completely inspiring and life-giving.
