Our Story

Jessica Yaffa and her team created this course after recognizing the significant gap in what coaching training programs existed at the time. This course is designed for those who have some level of knowledge of the world of mental wellness, which can come from a variety of experiences. While completion of this course does include certification, we strongly suggest that those who are interested in pursuing coaching as a career gain additional skills and knowledge related to the fundamentals of coaching. Our certified relationship coaching program is an excellent foundation, and we also offer guidance on additional resources to further develop your expertise. For those seeking relationship coach certification online, this course provides a flexible and accessible pathway to achieve your goals. Whether you are interested in pursuing relationship coaching as a full-time career, looking to add skills and tools to your current practice, or simply seeking an opportunity to level up your own relationship, we would be honored to have you join our upcoming cohort.

Participant Testimonials

“Jessica‘s commitment to providing an experience that is rooted in compassionate, authentic connection is communicated beautifully in this course. As an entrepreneur working in the treatment industry, I have always aligned with Jessica‘s style and passion in establishing, nurturing, and strengthening relationships. Moving forward, I feel energized and empowered to continue in this work by bringing more skills and techniques to support meaningful connections among my team and our clients. We are all on this journey together!” – Julie, Course Participant, August ’21 Cohort

“I learned that, as a coach, one of the main roles I would play is showing up and modeling a safe and secure relationship which, for some, may be the first and only time they’ve experienced one. I can incorporate that into my work by being a consistent, transparent, authentic, and predictable coach and modeling what it is to have boundaries.” – Course Participant, January Cohort, 2022

“I work as a professional coach and attend new trainings regularly. It’s very rare for me to find a course approach that is so in synch with my own values and embodies the spirit of compassionate client alignment so well. While most coaching courses focus on “measurement” pieces like goal steps, benchmarks, and timeframes, Jessica’s course conceptualizes the idea that relational health is a factor of secure attachment, mutual respect, empathetic alliance and individual health. As participants we learned not so much what the right “curriculum” is for relationship coaching, but rather how we can provide the skill set and spirit of relational health – in the way we care for ourselves, the way we care for our clients and the way we support their caring for each other.” – Course Participant, August Cohort, 2021

“Jessica Yaffa’s Relationship Coaching class was a huge inspiration, and led me to self evaluate myself as a life coach and how I approach relationships. Jessica orchestrated the course with integrity and knowledge. She was able to securely answer difficult questions without skipping a beat. Her confidence in teaching this class helped me draw out my own.” – LaJuan, August Cohort, 2021
