RJ & Melissa Whaley

Years ago, our own marriage hit a crisis point. We tried everything we could think of—books, podcasts, courses, marriage retreats. Nothing seemed to stick.

It wasn’t until we worked with coaches who had walked the path before us that real change started to happen. With Christ at the center, we slowly began healing, reconnecting, and building a marriage we genuinely wanted to wake up to.

That season not only restored our relationship—it revealed our calling.

With the encouragement of mentors (and a whole lot of prayer), we stepped into coaching. And we haven’t looked back.

We are ICF-trained Christian life coaches who blend biblical truth with emotional insight and real-life tools. Our approach is:

• Christ-centered – We believe true relational healing comes from Jesus, and we invite the Holy Spirit into every session.

• Trauma-informed & emotionally focused – We help you get beneath surface behaviors and understand the why behind disconnection.

• Practical & accessible – No overwhelming theory or unrealistic checklists—just tools that actually work in your day-to-day.

We coach individuals, couples, and groups—meeting you where you are and helping you move forward with clarity, connection, and confidence.

We work with couples from engagement to their 50s—but we especially love supporting those who work from home, homeschool, or live outside the typical 9–5 mold. (We get it—we’re right there too.)

Sometimes we coach individually, sometimes as a couple, depending on your needs. But our focus is always the same: to coach the relationship, not just the person. That means creating space for honest reflection, steady growth, and learning how to be a team again—through whatever life throws your way.

We’re not early risers, but we do love slow mornings with coffee in the front yard. We tag-team homeschooling and coaching, and our evenings are often filled with youth group, AWANA, or watching food and travel shows with the kids. On weekends, you’ll find us hiking in the mountains, heading to the beach, or reading way too many books at once.
