About Gail Tremblay
I believe world peace begins at home.
For the past 29 years, I’ve been living, learning, and loving in a long-term marriage—with all the tenderness, turbulence, and transformation that comes with it. That lived experience, combined with decades of inner and professional work, is what I bring to the couples and individuals I coach.
As a Certified Relational Life Therapy (RLT) Coach, I use the groundbreaking tools developed by Terry Real to help partners move from patterns of blame, withdrawal, and frustration into honesty, repair, and deep connection. I also incorporate somatic practices, including the Felt Sense and Inner Relationship Focusing methods developed by Ann Weiser Cornell, to support clients in attuning to their bodies, uncovering their truth, and learning to speak from their wise, grounded self.
In 2017, I became a Certified Life Coach through Martha Beck and began helping people navigate life’s transitions with greater clarity, courage, and self-trust.
As I continued my own personal growth, I was drawn to the work of Regina Thomashauer (Mama Gena), where I spent eight years exploring what it means to live with more joy, aliveness, and pleasure. That journey eventually led me to become a Certified Pleasure Coach and transformed the way I showed up in my own marriage. It also inspired me to become a Certified Relational Life Therapy (RLT) Coach with Terry Real and devote my practice to helping couples create healthier, more connected relationships.
Like many of my clients, I’ve had to learn how to come home to myself while staying deeply connected to the person I love. The work I offer isn’t just what I’ve studied—it’s what I’ve lived.
Before becoming a coach, I spent more than a decade as a public school teacher and eighteen years as a Technology Director, leading teams, mentoring professionals, and facilitating Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits programs. Along the way, I’ve also guided groups of men and women in sensual embodiment and the exploration of sexuality, helping people reclaim joy, connection, and permission in their own bodies and relationships.
Today, I help individuals and couples heal old patterns, communicate with greater honesty, and create relationships filled with connection, resilience, playfulness, and love.
I do this work because I believe in marriage—not as a perfect fairy tale, but as a living, evolving relationship that invites us to grow into our truest selves.
I know what it feels like to lose yourself in a relationship—and I know what it takes to find your way back. My husband and I have walked that path, and I use the same tools that transformed our relationship to help my clients transform theirs.
I also believe that your relationship isn’t just about the two of you. The way you love, repair, and care for one another becomes a model for your children, your family, and your community. Every healthier relationship creates ripples of peace, compassion, and emotional intelligence that extend far beyond the walls of one home.
That’s why I do this work. Because when couples heal, families heal. And when families heal, the world becomes a more loving place.
I live in a quirky old farmhouse in the Finger Lakes of upstate New York with my husband, Alan, our African Grey parrot, Cody (who happily calls my name all day long), and Toby, our six-year-old rescue dog. After saying goodbye to our beloved Dakota, opening our hearts to Toby has been a beautiful reminder that love has a way of growing, even after loss. I’m also a very proud stepmom and enthusiastic cheerleader to our 38 year old daughter, Amelie.
When I’m not coaching, I’m out in nature—hiking, gardening, or traveling. I’ve summited all 115 major peaks in the northeastern U.S., completed the 46 Adirondack High Peaks in winter (#6873W), and hiked all 586 miles of the Finger Lakes Trail (#449).
In the spring, summer, and fall, you’ll often find me in the garden—hands in the dirt, tending to vegetables, berry bushes, and a wild, joyful tangle of perennials. My husband and I are in the early stages of transitioning from our longtime farmhouse in upstate New York to a smaller home in the mountains of western North Carolina, just over the Georgia border—renovating it into a cozy, welcoming retreat. In the winter months, we rest and replenish on the lush Caribbean island of Dominica, where the vibrant culture, warm-hearted people, and rainforest beauty offer deep nourishment for body and soul.
