What Our Members Say About Couples Coach Training
Yasmin Abouelhassan
“I just completed my Couples Coach Training and it was a wonderful experience. RCI is unique in the richness of their training materials, incredible support and feedback throughout the training program. The entire training team is highly professional, experienced and supportive.
The Knowledge is presented in ways that together create deep understanding and application and supported me to be true to who I am as a coach and as a person.
I’m proud to be an RCI graduate.”
Gary Robertson, Couples Therapist
“I have worked as couples therapist for 18 years and I’ve learned many new things in this class and was given tools that I wish I had much earlier. I am fully “In” on coaching and glad to leave the therapy world behind. This training has renewed and revitalizing my passion for helping couples. I am excited again!
RCI’s approach to helping pre-committed and pre-marital couples is a real breakthrough. I have worked for years with couples, have completed three levels of Gottman training. I have also used Prep, Prepare and Imago resources. I also did premarital couples counseling for years as a Presbyterian minister.
I have not seen anything like this anywhere else. I now have the tools, strategies, paradigms and concepts to help couples find partners for life and avoid relationships that are broken and don’t work. Tremendous!!”
Diane Schaffer
“I just finished Couples Coach Training and I have been so pleased with my journey with RCI. The level of their support, information, guidance, enthusiasm, professionalism and competence is remarkable. We all wanted the class to continue. How fortunate we are to have trainer and mentors of such high caliber- competent, knowledgeable and willing to go beyond. Thank you!”

Brooke Miller, Couples Therapist
“RCI’s Couples Training was such an amazing experience in so many ways! It was clear, insightful and practical, distilling complex material into simple, accessible truths with concrete suggestions for implementation. My work as a therapist has been positively impacted by many things I have learned in this program, and my work as a Relationship Coach now has a solid foundation to build on. On a personal level, I have learned what is possible and how to reverse-engineer the relationship of my dreams! Many, many thanks for all of the invaluable information and support.
I have found all of RCI’s training materials to be clear, insightful, distilling complex material into simple, accessible truths with concrete suggestions for implementation. My instructor was always so warm, approachable, positive and did such a wonderful job of helping us master the training skills, coaching tools, and answering questions about them. I am so grateful I made the decision to join RCI!
