Meet Bret & Christine Eartheart

Founders of the Center for Thriving Relationships

We’re so glad you’re here.

After many years as a licensed psychotherapist (Bret) and coach (Christine), we founded the Center for Thriving Relationships 15 years ago to help people experience the same transformation we created in our own marriage.

While we’ve always loved supporting individuals, we realized nothing transforms lives more than healing our relationships. Our relationships shape our happiness, growth, and sense of fulfillment more than anything else.

As a married couple, we’ve lived this journey ourselves—the confusion, the breakthroughs, and the incredible joy that comes from creating a thriving love. After more than 20 years together, we’re more connected than ever, and we want that for every couple.

We’ve been honored to help thousands of couples rebuild trust, rekindle connection, and experience lasting love through our coaching, retreats, and online programs.

We’re so excited to share the same proven formula that’s helped couples around the world create powerful, lasting, and repeatable results.

What Sets This Program Apart

With over 23 years together, we’ve lived the ups and downs of real relationships. After nearly separating years ago, we now enjoy the marriage we once dreamed of — and we teach the same proven tools that helped us and thousands of other couples create lasting love.

We model what we teach and embody what’s possible in love.

As a couple, we bring both feminine and masculine perspectives — deep empathy balanced with grounded wisdom.

It’s rare to be trained by a couple, and that’s what makes this program truly unique.

You’ll learn the latest relationship research and how the brain and nervous system respond to stress, conflict, and disconnection — then apply it through simple, practical tools and embodied practices that help your clients transform faster.

This program makes science personal and applicable, helping you create meaningful, lasting change in every session.

Many programs teach coaching skills but not how to attract clients. We guide you step-by-step through business bootcamp sessions that make it easy and fun to build a profitable practice from scratch.

You’ll also get six months of post-graduation support plus insights from one of the industry’s top coaching business mentors.

Receive guidance from both a licensed psychotherapist and a master coach — combining deep emotional understanding with forward-focused, results-driven methods.

This dual approach ensures you’re grounded, ethical, and fully equipped to help clients heal and grow.

We keep it practical, positive, and inspiring for you and your clients.

Traditional counseling often keeps couples stuck in old stories. Our coaching method moves them forward fast — with clear tools, fresh communication patterns, and tangible breakthroughs that reignite closeness and joy.

You’ll learn a results-oriented, heart-centered process that leaves both you and your clients feeling energized, fulfilled, and inspired.
