We focus on reigniting the spark of connection and intimacy in your relationship. Our desire is for your relationship to not only be revived but to flourish. We use an incredible forgiveness tool that we developed in 2000 out of our own healing journey from betrayal that uncovers your blindspots that are keeping you from feeling heard and understood. It’s pretty cool and very effective. Like 97% effective!

Something we hear all of the time is that because there are two of us no one ends up feeling ganged up on, and they also express how effective it is for there to be two perspectives (which is highly unusual in the counseling world). Also, we see ourselves as your mentors coming alongside you on your relationship journey. We’re on the sidelines helping you get that touchdown you’ve been struggling to attain! And your progress will be rapid and enjoyable. Unlike traditional counseling, we are all about maximizing your finances as well as your time and you can find that connection you’ve been longing for in as little as 90 days, as opposed to traditional counseling which often continues for months or years costing you a lot of time and money. If your marriage is in crisis, having us as not only mentors but also accountability partners for at least 6 months to fully embrace and internalize your new habits and significantly shift your unhealthy neural pathways into healthy ones banishing those tricky blindspots that have been tripping you up for years.

Our time together will involve guided discussions around your homework, accountability around your daily commitment to the process, goal and value-setting, and practical exercises to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen intimacy. Expect a supportive environment focused on growth and empathy.

Jami received his Occupational Therapy degree and Marla not only has her degree in counseling she also has her Masters. Along with this in 1995, we received training and certification and became licensed to be facilitators and relationship mentors with Life Skills International. As the men’s and women’s directors of our local chapter, we ran eight, 22-week 2-hour sessions and, wow, was that a huge learning and growing experience! We are also trained and certified as Personality Architects (1998). We have a proven track record (29 years!) of helping couples not only improve their relationships but also have the marriage of their dreams.

We ask for just fifteen minutes a day of your own work which includes seven minutes together and 8 minutes of doing your 9-word journal and other assigned homework. Depending on what package you decide on we will meet consistently which looks like this: for our 6-month Group Coaching package we will meet weekly online for one hour and then once a month for 30 minutes and for our 4-Month 2:2 package we meet weekly for 45 minutes with phone calls as needed.

While we follow our proven method, we also tailor our approach to address specific issues like communication breakdowns, trust issues, and intimacy challenges. We use techniques and exercises designed to specifically target and resolve these tensions.

Yes, we’ve been there and know what it’s like to be on the precipice of a failed marriage. And also because what we do offers new perspectives and tools to communicate and understand each other in ways you’ve not experienced before. However, the willingness of both you and your spouse to participate and make changes is crucial.

Yes, individual issues such as personal history, past trauma, and individual habits are addressed as they impact your relationship. We help each person understand how these factors play into your relationship dynamics and work on changes that benefit the marriage.

Every time a person in a relationship comes to us on their own because their spouse isn’t interested or willing to join them, not only are they deeply transformed their husband or wife takes notice (usually within weeks of working with us) and decides they want what they see transpiring in their spouse. And for those individuals who end up doing this completely alone, they always report that their relationship improves greatly! 

Yes. Individuals are not only welcome but encouraged. Regardless of where you are in your relationships, our process is beneficial to not only help you discover the blindspots that have been holding you back from truly loving and being loved, but we’ve seen 99% of our single clients find the love they have always dreamed of within a year after working with us. 

We are committed to maintaining confidentiality. The details shared in sessions are kept private, providing a safe space for couples to open up.

This confidentiality extends to our group coaching where each couple commits to the rest of the group their confidentiality that what is said and experienced inside of the group stays within the group.

Yes, we provide resources like books, articles, or online materials. We are also available for brief consultations between sessions for our 2:2 clients and through email and weekly “office hours” for all of our clients. Additionally, you can often access our online community for ongoing support.

Being located in Boise, ID is not an issue! We are available to come to your area, wherever it may be. If you would like more details regarding weekend seminars, workshops, or any other event you would like us to be involved in please contact us. We run couples’ retreats from Boise to the Oregon Coast to Mexico and across the country. And if your marriage is in crisis and you are ready to dive we have 5-day Intensives to get your healing journey on track. You can travel to Boise or fly us out to you.

Maintaining a good working relationship with other employees, your boss, and your business partners is not always easy. We offer weekend and/or weekday workshops for small businesses to allow all involved to communicate effectively and to allow the business to grow into more success. 

We do not take insurance, but if you have a Health Savings Plan (or something like it) you can use it to pay for our services. Remember that our services are short-term for long-term success, therefore what you may pay in your co-pay for counseling over the average period of time seen for counseling patients (2 years). We guarantee you will more than save time and money! 

$1800-$10,000 depending on the type of services you are interested in. All types of payment are accepted, and payment plans are available. The initial Strategy Call is FREE, so why not check us out and see if we’re a good match? Since the packages are short-term, many pay significantly less than they would with their insurance co-pay over the long term.

Yes, that’s correct. If you do all of the work we ask of you and attend all of the sessions and still don’t have the results you are looking for we will give your money back.

Coaching Packages: Our process is short-term, and what we know after 25+ years of doing this is that scheduling your sessions weekly will provide the results you are looking for. If more than three weeks lapse and you have not made an appointment or appointment arrangements, we have the right to cancel the contract for a $250 nonrefundable fee. We do not provide refunds secondary to the fact that your commitment to follow this path determines your outcome of success or failure.

Retreats: If you need to cancel your reservation please note that if you are canceling less than four weeks before the start of the retreat you will not receive a refund. Before that time, you will receive 50% of the retreat fee in credit for future coaching packages.
