Whether you’re trying to gain clarity about your relationship, heal from emotional wounds, or simply want to divorce-proof your marriage and grow together with purpose—we’re here to help you reach your life and relationship goals.

Let us help you build (or rebuild) the love and connection you deserve.

Why Couples Trust Coach Martez & Dr. Woodrina

Couples trust us because we don’t just talk about healing—we’ve lived it.
We know what it feels like to be hurt, disconnected, and unsure of the future. But we also know the power of restoration, forgiveness, and doing the real work.

That’s why we create a space where couples feel safe, seen, and supported—no judgment, just truth, love, and tools that work.

We’re not just trained professionals. We’re a couple who’s been through the fire and came out stronger—together.

When couples feel stuck, unseen, or misunderstood—we help them find their way back to purpose, connection, and hope.

Our Mission

Our mission is to heal hearts and homes through professional Marriage Coaching and Counseling grounded in spiritual wisdom, love, and grace—while equipping couples with practical tools that bring about real, lasting change.

Our Story

From Brokenness to Breakthrough—Why We Do, What We Do

We’re Coach Martez & Dr. Woodrina Layton, and we’ve been married for over 34 years—but our journey hasn’t been easy. Like many couples, we’ve faced deep pain, hard truths, and moments when walking away felt easier than pressing in.

In the early years of our marriage, we experienced infidelity on both sides. It broke our hearts and nearly ended our relationship.

We had a choice: walk away from each other or walk into the painful—but powerful—process of healing, forgiveness, and restoration.

By the grace of God—and with a fierce commitment to the covenant we made—we chose to fight for our marriage, to pursue healing, and to rebuild trust.

But as we searched for professional help, we hit a wall.
We couldn’t find counselors or coaches who had personally overcome infidelity in their own marriage. We were looking for someone who understood the heartbreak, the triggers, the work—and the hope.

That gap inspired us to become what we were looking for.

In 2008, we founded Dream Builders Marriage Coaching & Counseling—a faith-based, professional practice dedicated to helping couples heal, rebuild, and thrive after infidelity, emotional wounds, and disconnection. Our work is rooted in both our lived experience and our professional expertise in coaching, counseling, and marriage restoration.

We’re here to say: you can heal. You can rebuild trust. You can fall in love again.
Your story isn’t over—and we’re living proof.
