Certification Program
That nagging in your soul is not your imagination. You are meant to make a difference in a way that lights you up, and there’s truly never been a better time in history to become a Thriving Relationship Coach™.
We are so excited to give you the proven, easy-to-use, and concrete roadmap for exactly what to do, step-by-step, in your sessions, ensuring you know how to create breakthroughs every time. Your confidence will skyrocket as you move through the program. Plus, you’ll learn the cutting-edge research on relationships and the science of bonding, love, sexuality, and attachment — all in ways your clients will easily understand.
We’ve been self-employed for over a decade, and it’s the dreamiest path we could have ever imagined. As a Certified Thriving Relationship Coach™, you will have the opportunity to serve couples all over the world – from the comfort of home.
Who doesn’t, as they are such a juicy topic?! The thing is, however, most humans are completely clueless about how to create healthy, phenomenal long-term love. People are hungry to understand the secrets to love — and they will be captivated learning them from you.
It’s true. With the divorce rate around 50%, the vast number of affairs, and most couples stuck in repetitive patterns they can’t resolve — learning about love is the education nearly every adult has been missing. This is what motivates us too. We’re convinced romantic relationships are the area of life where people experience the most unnecessary suffering and have the greatest capacity for happiness, with the right tools.
This certification course is not just about becoming “book smart.” We are going to guide you through a revolutionary process that will create so many positive ripples in every area of your own life and uplevel and improve all your relationships.
Perhaps you are already doing healing and transformational work with people and want to specifically develop the necessary skills for supporting couples. We’ve got you covered, and you will be a true relationship expert by the end. The coaching industry is booming, and people are looking for those with specialities.
No matter how trends may change over time, one thing never does: romantic relationships are at the heart and center of our lives as human beings. We built our own coaching practice through word of mouth. People were desperate to improve and save their relationships, and we got them results quickly. We are so excited to show you how to do the same. Humans will always (1) get stuck in challenges in their relationships (2) need help making things better from someone they can trust and (3) be willing to invest, as it is vital to their wellbeing. Plus, relationship coaching is much cheaper and easier than divorce.
We entered this field because we were truly driven by our passionate desire to help people with their relationships and bring more love and connection into the world. We both had backgrounds in nonprofit work and activism, and money wasn’t what drove us.
However, we unexpectedly discovered that relationship coaching is not only abundantly rewarding, it is also incredibly lucrative and brings financial freedom and unlimited possibilities.
After only a year in business, we were already earning 6-figures (again, almost exclusively because of word-of-mouth and the results we will teach you how to get). Our practice has continued to grow every year since.
With a growing waitlist of clients, we then expanded our team, hired and trained new coaches, and are now able to make an impact and give back in a way that delights and fulfills us deeply.
So, rest assured, this program isn’t just about teaching you skills to make a difference in the lives of others.
It’s also about YOU and us helping you create a business and life you absolutely love and that supports you in every way.
Plus, as you will read below, we make sure you not only leave this program with stellar coaching skills but with business ones as well.
There has never been a better time in history to help people with their relationships – while enjoying a meaningful and abundant career. Sign up below for instant access to this FREE training.
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 18+ 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: Dr. John Gottman, Dr. Sue Johnson, Drs. Gay and Katie Hendricks, Dr. Harville Hendrix, tantra teachers, and many others.
And our hearts overflow with joy to think of the difference YOU will make.

For this certification program, you will learn our highly curated collection of what we believe is the best of the best out there for understanding relationships and getting people the fastest and most lasting results — as well as the signature processes we’ve developed that work better than anything else we’ve seen.
Once our waitlist continued to grow, and we became unable to take on new clients, we looked for a way to still keep serving and reaching more couples (our passion and mission). The solution? Teach YOU the exact systems we’ve developed to get repeatable and powerful results with couples of every background and in every stage.

Over the course of 6 months, you will gain proficiency in facilitating the 50+ Thriving Relationship Master Skills with couples, no matter the issues they are facing. You will learn everything it takes to help couples…
Being a transformational coach is not just about having the right tools. It’s also about how you embody them, the rapport you build with your clients, how people feel when working with you, and the presence you bring to sessions. This is key.
And it’s all learnable. Throughout the program, we will guide you through incredible mind-body processes and teach you remarkable techniques that will rewire your own limiting beliefs and amplify your ability to connect with your clients and get them results.
As a student, you will also be exploring your own relationships and doing a deep dive into your own patterns in love, communication, and relating.
This is where a powerful transmission of the work takes place, as you experience it first as a student, then transfer that transmission of the experience to your clients as a coach.
This gives you integrity — because you have gone deep within yourself and have done the work, and your clients will feel it.
We want to make sure you don’t graduate from this program and then have your amazing skills just sit there. In the second half of the program, you will learn all the essentials for launching your career as a certified Thriving Relationship Coach™.
During weekly video training sessions taught by Bret and Christine and through an extensive manual and roadmap of clear, easy, and proven tools and methods, you will gain everything you need to help couples save their marriages, transform their relationships, heal from infidelity, resolve conflict of every kind, deepen their connection, effectively communicate, cultivate both physical and emotional intimacy, reignite the spark, and create a fulfilling, thriving relationship.
This training lasts 2 hours each week. Replays are always available.
To accompany the calls, you will receive printable slides, a comprehensive set of printable client handouts, and exclusive permission and training for how to use them in your practice.
Gain extraordinary insight from watching Bret and Christine coach couples and walk you through their process (so can replicate it in your own sessions). This component is missing from most certification programs out there, and our coaches and students often say this is their favorite part of our workshops. Receive 10+ recorded sessions to model from and study.
Starting week 13, you will receive an additional 1-hour training each week so that you are simultaneously growing your business. That way, by the end of the 6 months, you will be all set up for launching your successful new career as a Thriving Relationship Coach ™.
Join a private online community to connect with other students. Here you can ask questions to be answered by Bret and Christine, receive support and feedback from others, partner up for practice sessions, share celebrations and wins, and more. You will love getting to know your classmates!
There are also weekly HEARTner calls for you to put into practice and reflect together on each week’s tools. These are facilitated by our Lead Coach, Andrea, and are a treasured part of the program for all who choose to participate.
In order to graduate, you will be required to document (in writing, not video) a minimum of 8 practice coaching sessions and share your biggest takeaways and learnings. You will also have the opportunity to be coached by your fellow students, an amazing opportunity for learning and growth.
Having been together for 18+ 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 enthusiastic positivity (Christine) with down-to-Earth, sage-like wisdom (Bret). It is very rare to get this combined perspective and be trained by a couple.
Knowing the latest relationship research and understanding what happens in the brain 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 and tools that open hearts and facilitate powerful transformation your clients will undoubtedly feel.
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’ve partnered with one of the greatest business visionaries of our time, Scott Oldford, who has helped entrepreneurs around the world scale their coaching businesses to 6 and 7 figures. He has private clients paying him $250,000/year to receive his expertise, and we are enormously grateful to have him sharing his masterful and expert guidance so you have all the essentials for getting started before the program even ends.
In this program, you will 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 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 past relationships (with caregivers, friends, partners, etc.) influence our present ones, as well as all the legalities and how to navigate more challenging situations like domestic violence, anxiety, depression, and trauma when they affect our intimate relationships. 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 healing processes with tangible tools and positive results. Doing deep work but also making it fun and inspiring — for you and your clients.
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 over the past decade 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 uniquely positive 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. There are many models of relationship coaching out there today, and we are convinced that the approach we share with you is more effective than anything else we’ve discovered and will get your clients breakthroughs the fastest.
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.
