What our graduates say...
...exceeded every expectation on every level
“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.”

These tools have turned around decades of old patterns...
"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.”

Spiritual depth, intelligence, and love...

10/10 recommend taking this program!
"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."

…One of the best things I have ever done in my life.
"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."

Jené's Coach Certification Experience
Amanda's Coach Certification Experience
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...
This is by far the best program I have ever been a part of to improve my marriage.
"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.”

After intensive research and searching for a relationship coach certification program that would meet all my needs, the Thriving Relationship Coach Certification Program EXCEEDED my needs.
"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!”

Personal growth, healing, knowledge and the ability to serve others - this program checks all the boxes and exceeded my expectations!
"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!

I now feel more prepared than I did leaving graduate school
"I am a licensed mental health therapist, and what I love about this program is that Bret and Christine shared evidence-based therapies and modalities for people to understand that were not even covered in my graduate classes. I learned so much from them about couples work. We didn't get enough information about that in our schooling. It does a really great job preparing people with cutting edge modalities for working with couples. As a therapist, the science speaks to me, and I now feel more prepared than I did leaving graduate school... Bret and Christine are really, really special instructors. They're both extremely conscientious and kind and warm and supportive.If you have any questions, they go above and beyond meeting people's needs. And they did a really stellar job of making sure that the information that they're presenting is based on 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 feel way more prepared now to help people navigate the issues that arise specifically from relationships. I also think it's an amazing investment for people without a social work or mental health background. For people who are just looking to be coaches, this is really specialized information that you can have even without that background. It’s above and beyond training…I'm really, really grateful that I invested in it, and I know it's going to come back to me, and it's going to be paid forward to all the people that are going to benefit from me being able to teach this now.”

I am shocked, honestly, by what we got for the cost of this program. It could be five times what we paid for it.
“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.”

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.

Personal growth, healing, knowledge and the ability to serve others - this program checks all the boxes and exceeded my expectations!
"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!

I now feel more prepared than I did leaving graduate school
"I am a licensed mental health therapist, and what I love about this program is that Bret and Christine shared evidence-based therapies and modalities for people to understand that were not even covered in my graduate classes. I learned so much from them about couples work. We didn't get enough information about that in our schooling. It does a really great job preparing people with cutting edge modalities for working with couples. As a therapist, the science speaks to me, and I now feel more prepared than I did leaving graduate school... Bret and Christine are really, really special instructors. They're both extremely conscientious and kind and warm and supportive.If you have any questions, they go above and beyond meeting people's needs. And they did a really stellar job of making sure that the information that they're presenting is based on 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 feel way more prepared now to help people navigate the issues that arise specifically from relationships. I also think it's an amazing investment for people without a social work or mental health background. For people who are just looking to be coaches, this is really specialized information that you can have even without that background. It’s above and beyond training…I'm really, really grateful that I invested in it, and I know it's going to come back to me, and it's going to be paid forward to all the people that are going to benefit from me being able to teach this now.”

I am shocked, honestly, by what we got for the cost of this program. It could be five times what we paid for it.
“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.”

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 enthusiasm, wholeheartedness, and joy (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 an expert 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.

“This program is different than other coaching programs because it dives into relationships in every way possible, and you get to heal from some things and grow even more as you take the journey -- which gives the best version of you to yourself and others. They always lend a supportive helping hand and encourage you every step of the way. It's such a beautiful thing to see Bret and Christine as instructors working together and being transparent. You can definitely see that they utilize what they teach, and the love they have for one another. You also get the clinical side of relationships so that you can best love, support, and help people thrive. Thank you to everyone at the Center for Thriving Relationships for making sure we had everything we needed to be a light unto others!"

I feel confident going forward with my coaching...
"The program is wonderful! You receive a ton of knowledge on relationships. I feel confident going forward with my coaching knowing I have the tools and knowledge to make a difference in couples' lives. Christine and Bret are so kind and helpful and make you feel like friends or family instead of a stuffy class/teacher dynamic. I would recommend this program to anyone!"

…far beyond what I could have imagined
"10/10 recommend taking this program! 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."
