This is my honest review and experience with the VITA Sex, Love & Relationship Coach Certification offered by Layla Martin and the VITA Institute.

Are you intrigued, excited, and possibly confused about which sex coaching certification to choose? I get it!
There are many options out there, all claiming to offer a simple way to transition into the career of your dreams and transform people’s sex lives and relationships while earning big bucks. As somebody who completed several other sex coach certifications and experienced it from the inside, I wanted to share why I highly recommend VITA.
By the time I decided to join Layla Martin’s program, I had already completed my training with the Somatica Institute of Sex and Intimacy Coaching, the International Institute for Sexological Bodywork, and the Tao Tantric Arts. I’ve also had the chance to learn from amazing sex and intimacy experts like Jaiya, Michaela Boehm, Kasia Urbaniak, and Shakti Malan.
Needless to say, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to invest in yet another training, and it took me over 2 years to commit.
What inspired me to join?
- I had been on Layla’s email list for years and admired the depth, wisdom, and vulnerability she brought to the table — qualities I deeply value in a teacher. Hearing Layla’s story of transformation and resilience is truly inspiring. She went from someone with a history of severe sexual trauma and unworthiness; for years struggling to make ends meet as a Tantra teacher; to thriving in her partnership, while running a multi-million dollar sexual empowerment brand.
- Eventually, I joined VITA Sacred Sexuality monthly membership. It offered weekly online classes exploring the topics of pleasure, relationships, women’s empowerment, emotional intelligence, sacred sexuality, and money. Seeing how well-designed the program was and how much value it offered gave me a clear sense of what the VITA sexual coaching certification would be like.
- When I looked at VITA graduates’ testimonials, what stood out was how many of them mentioned that within the first trimester of the training, they got enough value out of the program that they would have considered it a worthy investment.
- It was easy to get a taster of Layla’s teaching style from numerous free resources she offers, such as her Youtube channel, her podcast, and practices like:
VITA Sex Coach Certification Highlights
Here is what stood out for me in comparison with other trainings I took:
- A unique and effective coaching methodology that combines the principles of neuroscience, modern psychology, and biology, alongside the timeless wisdom of Tantric and Taoist teachings.
During the second trimester, we experienced the healing and transformation of the VITA approach firsthand by receiving coaching from a peer (which is required to get certified).
- It’s a year-long, 600-hour certification. The amount of information, resources, live classes, and support we got was unprecedented. I’m sure, I have plenty of material to study and use in my coaching practice for years to come.
Unlike other certifications, where advanced tools come with extra costs, I got the impression that Layla gave us everything she could.
- This program included weekly personal coaching calls, business development sessions, and the option to email staff or ask questions on a forum, with same-day responses.
- In addition to learning from Layla, we had classes with four other inspiring teachers, which allowed us to experience different coaching styles and perspectives. Over the first two trimesters, we joined weekly ‘office hours’ calls with our assigned teacher.
These sessions provided prompt, personalized support—something I haven’t experienced in any other program.
- We got to see Layla and other teachers coach students every week for six months, and it was invaluable to witness the coaching methodology in action. Additionally, anyone could volunteer to receive coaching directly from Layla or her team.
- During the second trimester, we could practice our coaching skills on live calls and get teachers’ feedback.
- This training offered the most comprehensive business training out of all the other programs I attended. Trimester 3 included the Business Bootcamp and business workshops on sales, content creation, email marketing, pricing, defining your niche, podcasting, using TikTok, Youtube, Instagram, Facebook ads, and more.
Other perks:
- The program is exceptionally designed, structured, and run. From reminder emails about the classes and all the calls to fast email support to a very well-organized online platform, classes starting on time. I haven’t seen this level of attention to detail in any other sex coach certification I took.
- All the online materials — class, workshop, and somatic practices video and audio recordings, PDFs, and recommended resources—are available for life.
Just recently, two years after I graduated, I got access to the updated Business Bootcamp materials at no extra cost. To me this demonstrates both Layla’s generosity and commitment to providing the best possible resources to her students long term.
- I joined early, so along with a monthly payment plan, I got access to three months of classes before the core training began and one of Layla’s signature programs (we had a choice between Crystal Pleasure, Men’s Sexual Mastery, or Obliss). I especially appreciated the in-depth workshops and resources on money and wealth consciousness.
- Included in the training were workshops by externally invited trauma, LGBTQ+, pelvic floor anatomy, and anti-racism experts.
- Finally, in the past, I had teachers sharing intimacy coaching and communication tools only to abandon all of them the moment a student asked for a refund. In a similar situation here, I saw Layla showing up with kindness, compassion, and integrity, and this is the kind of teacher I want: the one I can feel safe and trust when challenging situations arise.
Layla’s motto is “underpromise and over-deliver,” and I confirm getting everything promised and more. There were no surprises other than the pleasant kind.
And if you join early, between August 21 – October 3, 2024, you’ll get the best price and the most bonuses.
