Our Story!
by Marla
Way back in 1987 we fell passionately in love. We were married in June of 1988, had our first daughter, Kayla, in January of 1990, and our youngest daughter, Ariel, in May of 1991. Jami graduated from Loma Linda University Occupational Therapy school in 1990, and worked as an Occupational Therapist while I was a stay-at-home-mom until the girls went to school.
In 1995 we were trained as facilitators and coaches for Life Skills International, a Domestic Violence program. Directing a center for court-mandated domestic violence offenders and their partners created a powerful awakening for us. We began facilitating workshops, and helping individuals and couples at this time, and realized how much more powerful it was to help people on a deeper level instead of just putting band-aids on gushing heart-wounds.
In 1998, our marriage almost fell apart because of infidelity, which felt like such an immense failure since we had been helping other couples restore their broken relationships for three years. We knew we had to get the help we needed personally and together to begin to really live a life of authenticity, vulnerability and healing. We did, and here we are (not without missteps along the way but always a movement onward and upward)!
While our coupleship isn't perfect we can attest to the fact that doing the hard work to heal forward is more than worth it. Our kids are worth it, our grandlittles are worth it (Oh. My. Stars. These two littles are more than our hears can handle sometimes. Being Gigi and Gramps is the BEST job ever!), and our legacy gets to be one of wounded healers holding hands through the highs and the lows instead of broken individuals just making it through.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What does our Relationship Coaching look like?
After 20 years of specialized coaching for coupleships we decided to take this gig on the road full-time and developed a lock-step and dynamic relationship system of coaching that we now call JamiAndMarla.LOVE (aka Passion Provokers and Keller Coaching). It is focused on re-sparking and/or healing relationships of all kinds, in order for them to not only be revived but to flourish. We use an incredible forgiveness tool that we developed in 2000 out of our own infidelity recovery journey that uncovers your blindspots. It’s pretty cool and very effective. Like 97% effective! (Note: Because of COVID all coaching is done online unless otherwise arranged with safeties in place.)
How is it different from counseling?
Those of you who are in the counseling profession we honor you. Our coaching is not a replacement of counseling, and we see ourselves more like mentors of our clients who we are joining on their journey. We’re on the sidelines helping our clients get that touchdown they are striving for! And progress is often rapid and enjoyable. Unlike traditional counseling, we uses a directive coaching model in order to maximize your finances as well as your time. In this way, you can complete the process in as few as 6 sessions, as opposed to traditional counseling (which often continues for months or years at a time). If your coupleship is in crisis, you will need at least 6 months to fully embrace and internalize the tools and significantly shift your unhealthy neural pathways into healthy ones (stop the shaming voices in your head!).
Will my insurance cover the cost?
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! We also provide sponsorship assistance for those who qualify by having a lower income. For more information, you can contact us HERE.
What is the cost?
$1800-$10,000 depending on the type of services you are interested in. All types of payment are accepted, and payment plans are negotiable. The initial RELATIONSHIP BREAKTHROUGH SESSION 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.
Can I do the coaching even if I am not in a relationship?
Yes. Individuals are not only welcome but encouraged. Regardless of where you are in your relationships, the our process is beneficial to any person’s well being. Individuals report to us that their coupleship improves significantly over their time with us and singles end up finding the love they are seeking.
Do you offer relationship workshops in locations other than Boise?
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 HERE.
*As long as COVID is a concern we offer workshops online through Zoom for groups up to 50.
May I do the coaching even if my partner is not interested?
Yes. It is ideal if you and your partner can come as a team, however we understand that it is sometimes not possible. Individuals always report that their relationship improves immediately, and for long-term, even if they end up doing this alone. And most often their partner decides to join us somewhere along the journey together with excellent success!
I don’t live in the Boise area but I would still like to do the process. Is that possible?
Yes. We will meet with you online through Zoom, FaceTime, or Facebook Messenger.
How can Small Businesses benefit?
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 with Small Businesses to allow all involved to communicate effectively, and to allow the business to grow into more success.
What is your Cancellation Policy?
Coaching Packages: Our process is short-term, and what we know after 29+ years of doing this is that attending your sessions (group and 2:2) 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. Generally, we do not provide refunds secondary to the fact that your commitment to follow this path determines your outcome of success or failure. A full refund will be issued if you are not fully satisfied with your outcome at the end of your process and you have submitted/shown all of your work including 15 minutes a day of checking in and journaling.
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.
