A Story of Redemption & Calling
My name is Matthew Zavala former skipper on The World-Famous Jungle Cruise, lifelong drummer, and a professionally trained Christian Marriage and Relationship Coach. God took my marriage from broken beginnings to something extraordinary, and that transformation is what shaped my calling to help other couples experience the same hope. Over the years, my wife and I have invested deeply into our relationship through seminars, mentorship, ongoing learning, and leading the marriage ministry at our church. I completed my training through The Professional Christian Coaching Institute, equipping me with the tools and frameworks to support couples with clarity, skill, and compassion. Nothing brings me more fulfillment than helping couples rediscover connection, laughter, and purpose. Whether they're newlyweds or fifty years in. I feel genuinely called to walk with couples as they build marriages that last and reflect the love of Christ.
Understanding Your Options
Coaching vs. Counseling
A marriage coach helps couples build healthier habits, better communication, and stronger connection, while a marriage counselor focuses on deeper emotional wounds, past trauma, and mental health concerns. Coaching is practical and forward focused, it's about learning new skills and creating intentional rhythms that help your marriage thrive. Counseling is therapeutic and looks beneath the surface to heal what's hurting. Both are valuable, but they serve different needs: coaching helps you grow; counseling helps you heal.
