Paul & Layne Cutright

What We Do

As relationship coaches, we help individuals, couples and business partners to consciously create successful, lasting relationships. We have developed Relationship Energy Repatterningsm to help our clients quickly and painlessly overcome negative, destructive patterns in their relationships with themselves and others.

As relationship educators, we teach a four-track curriculum that includes principles and practices for

  • high performance communication,
  • visionary partnership creation,
  • conscious conflict resolution and
  • emotional well-being.

As relationship consultants, we save you time and money by providing practical, proven solutions for everyday problems and challenges in your personal and professional relationships.

As mentor coaches, we assist coaches and therapists in applying the latest tools and skills in their practices, helping them to become even more successful.

As founders of The Center for Enlightened Partnership, we develop workshops, trainings and teleclasses, downloadable e-books, e-courses, audio courses and other original digital products to help you achieve your relationship goals.

As speakers and presenters, we provide entertaining and experiential talks, seminars and trainings for churches, associations, small companies and corporations.

As learners and conscious evolutionaries, we are continually on the lookout for new and better distinctions and tools to help us grow and evolve personally and spiritually. We experiment and refine until we can integrate our learning into our work with others.

Layne and Paul work both as a team and individually.

Our Mission

Our mission is to illuminate relationships as a spiritual path and to provide the means to significantly raise the level of consciousness and conversation about relationships. We are here to help people understand that relationships are our greatest opportunity for personal and spiritual evolution. And to provide the distinctions, tools and practices to make that a living reality for as many people as possible.

Coaching Style

Layne’s coaching style is direct and goal oriented. She has a unique ability to see deep, unconscious patterns that drive unwanted behavior patterns and to provide practical, real world solutions. She is highly intuitive, supportive and non-judgmental as she guides her clients to their desired results. People often comment on how quickly she gets to the heart of the matter.

Paul’s coaching style is intuitive and direct, providing creative collaboration with his clients in achieving their goals. He is adept at opening new possibilities for his clients and holding the vision for their accomplishment. A common comment about Paul’s work is that his love helps people to feel safe to move beyond barriers they didn’t even know they had.

When they are working together with another couple or business partners, they make a dynamic team whose combined talents accelerate their client’s speed to results.

Layne and Paul also conduct Exclusive Private Intensives for individuals, couples, partners and families who want a breakthrough to accelerated results.

Personal

Layne grew up in Marin County just north of San Francisco. Their mom raised her and her younger sister, Ariane. Mom had been married and divorced five times by the time Layne was twenty. She got to see up close and personal the challenges of relationships gone bad. It proved to be the perfect training ground for her to realize her destiny as a pioneer in relationships education. She tends to be a little shy, which you would hardly notice at all any more. She had a spiritual awakening when she was 24 years old and has been fascinated with the world of Spirit ever since. She loves nature, music, home making, cooking, deep conversations and creating new things out of nothing. She needs solitude to recharge her batteries or she gets edgy. Paul says, “She has a voice like and angel. Her singing has been known to make grown men weep.”

Paul was born and raised in the Deep South and grew up in New Orleans. He was the product of his parent’s passionate love, having come to them later in life after their other children were grown. His parents remained married until shortly after he left home when he went on active duty with the Navy. Paul married first when he was 19 and had a daughter, Lisa, who was gravely ill and lived only three months. This experience helped to mature him very quickly. He married again at 24 and has a son, Simon. Since both marriages failed after a short time, he thought he would never marry again. Yet, these experiences prepared him for what would become his career in relationships education. Paul has been on a spiritual path since his adolescence. He loves nature, music, art, reading and travel. Paul cleans the kitchen after Layne cooks and is a published fine art photographer. His photographs have been known to make people wonder.

Paul and Layne are best friends who love to do many things together, including foreign travel, roller blading, bicycling, scuba diving and walking on the beach and in the woods. They both love tropical places and have dived the Caribbean and the South Pacific. They have spent time in Japan, Russia, Greece, the Middle East and Central America.

Layne and Paul value integrity, honesty, creativity, beauty, learning, self-expression, following your heart, what works, risking, play, being challenged, naps, questions, friends, loyalty, kindness, mindfulness, and lots more. They also love their two cats, Marlowe and Chloe.

What Our Clients Say

"I had been in therapy for years, and nothing really worked - and lasted - until I met Paul and Layne. Their approach is so different, and I felt so comfortable with them, that we were able to get to the central causes of my unhappiness right away. That in itself was half the battle, and it became so clear so fast what I needed to do after that."
~Mindy Hamlin, Engineering Manager
“My husband and I are experiencing our relationship on a whole new level we never thought possible. We are both committed to telling the truth in the moment, and we discuss what is going on (not react and fight) until we get through it. This is an amazing change for us. We don't take this change for granted, but notice and acknowledge each other every time we are able to discuss something honestly the way we never could before.”
~Deborah Haygood, Executive Assistant
"My wife and I had lost touch with what made us fall in love with each other in the first place, and we were both very unhappy. This work saved our marriage. The material we learned from Paul and Layne helped us to rediscover our love, rebuild intimacy and start looking at our relationship in a whole new way.”
~Sidney Haygood, Healer
"As a business owner and entrepreneur, I was a bit skeptical of coaching at first. But, as I learned to trust the process I ultimately learned to trust my own abilities, which translated into tremendously positive changes in my life both personally and professionally. Personally, I am enjoying more confidence, a greater sense of well-being and peacefulness and better relationships. Professionally, I am better able to size up situations more quickly, I am a better listener and I am better able to inspire cooperation among my employees. I found Paul Cutright to have an uncanny ability to cut through the clutter and get to the essence of what really works!”
~Sean Curtis, CEO Coffee Ambassador
"What a potent combination! My private coaching sessions with Layne complemented and accelerated the class work I was doing at an unbelievable level. This was an incredible gift to myself, and I am grateful every day that I did!”
~Cary Leone, Landscape Architect
