We Are Jami & Marla
Two Coaches. One Couple. Real Results.
That's hard to replicate and nearly impossible for a solo couples therapist or coach to keep the "he said, she said" from creating feelings of being ganged up on. Pair that with our 97% success rate in a short-term model for saving marriages and relationships, and you have something that quietly dismantles the biggest objection people have to traditional couples counseling: "We've been in therapy for years and nothing changed." First week working with us and most couples say something like this: "We've received more in two weeks with you two than in two years of therapy." And we're offering measurable results in 90 days or less what would take you three years in traditional couples counseling!
Not in the Boise, ID area? No problem! We have been working with clients across gthe country and worldwide since almost the beginning.
Our Mission
We're on a mission to rescue relationships from the brink of giving up, transforming them into vibrant connections filled with joy and deeper happiness than ever before! Together, we will turn your love story into an inspiring tale of connection and joy. We work with couples in the Boise, ID area as well as around the world.
Our Vision
Our vision is a world where every couple flourishes, transcending defeat and resentment to become a testament to joy, deep happiness, and vibrant connection. It is our aspiration to lead your relationship on transformative journey, revitalizing it into an inspiring tale of closeness and happiness, where your love story is a beacon of hope and fulfillment to everyone around you!

Welcome to our site! I'm Co-Founder and CEO of Jami and Marla (dot) Love (DBA Bring Back Intimacy)! As relationship coaches and intimacy mentors, Jami and I have helped tons of couples get their spark back. Our process is focused on reigniting and/or healing relationships in order for them to not only be revived but to flourish. We use an incredible blindspot removal tool that we developed in 2000 out of our own betrayal recovery journey that uncovers the most deep-seated blindspots. It’s pretty cool and very effective. Like 98% effective!
This all started as a volunteer gig back in '95 when Jami and I got certified with Life Skills International as Relationship Coaches, Mentors, and Facilitators. Fast forward 31+ years and we're still living our best lives mentoring full-time. We even founded our company specifically to help couples communicate better and live life to the fullest.
I have my Counseling degree from Greenwich University in New Zealand, and after my brain surgery in 2016 I went back to graduate school and received my Masters in Arts and Theology in Ministry from Fuller Theological Seminary.
Personally, I've been through some tough stuff (betrayal and a brain tumor/surgery), but choosing growth and joy out of loss and trauma has been a game-changer for me. Plus, being an empty-nester means more time with my incredible husband and our adorable grandlittles!
Jami and I love adventuring whether that’s traveling around the world or just exploring downtown. We love hikes in the foothills of Boise, walking on the Greenbelt almost daily, playing pickleball, racquetball, yoga, dancing, trying out new places, and so much more.

Hello, I'm Jami, Co-Founder of Jami and Marla (dot) Love (DBA Bring Back Intimacy). Marla and I have spent the last 31+ years helping couples get their spark back, and honestly, there's nothing better than watching a relationship go from surviving to thriving.

Hello, I'm Jami, Co-Founder of Jami and Marla (dot) Love (DBA Bring Back Intimacy). Marla and I have spent the last 31+ years helping couples get their spark back, and honestly, there's nothing better than watching a relationship go from surviving to thriving.
Our process is built around reigniting and healing relationships. Not just patching things up, but actually making them ignite a firestorm. We developed a blindspot removal tool back in 2000 that cuts straight to the deep-seated patterns holding couples back. It came out of our own betrayal recovery journey, which makes it real, tested, and seriously effective. Like 98% effective.
This journey started back in '95 when I got certified with Life Skills International as a Relationship Coach, Mentor, and Facilitator. What began as a volunteer position turned into a full-time calling. I hold my degree in Occupational Therapy (Loma Linda University, CA), which gave me a deep understanding of how people function, grow, and change.
I've had my share of hard seasons experiencing self-abandonment, childhood trauma, real loss, the kind of stuff that either breaks you or builds you. I chose to let it build me. That perspective is what I bring into every session.
When I'm not helping couples alongside Marla, you'll find me hiking the Boise foothills, walking the Greenbelt, playing pickleball or racquetball, traveling with Marla, or chasing around our 2 elementary aged grandchildren. We also relish our date-days and traveling around the world.
Life is fantastic, and we're here to help yours be even better.
