Meet Our Founder: Holly McCusker

Since my earliest memories, my sense of value was wrapped up in how others perceived me. I learned to downplay certain parts of myself to fit in while amplifying traits that earned acceptance. In chasing approval, I lost sight of the most important relationship: the one with myself.

Marriage came swiftly, draped in youthful optimism and the belief that love could conquer anything. But when my marriage collapsed and I lost my husband, I was faced with a profound reckoning. Grief stripped away my illusions and forced me to ask deeper questions about who I was, what I valued, and how I wanted to show up in love.

That pain became the catalyst for transformation. I discovered that even when we know better, old patterns still run the show because our brains and nervous systems are wired that way. It wasn’t until I turned to neuroscience and embodiment that I began to truly rewire my blueprint and embody new ways of relating.

In the midst of this healing, I stepped into matchmaking and relationship coaching. I saw in others what I had lived myself:  people searching for love without truly knowing themselves, repeating patterns that only led to heartbreak.

That realization lit a fire in me: to help others not just “find someone,” but break cycles, heal, and create conscious love that lasts. From this passion, Love Prescriptions was born. What began as my personal journey grew into a movement, guiding people to regulate their nervous systems, rewire unconscious scripts, and embody authentic love. Today, the transformations I witness remind me daily that when we do this work, we don’t just change our relationships; we change the way we live, lead, and connect.

Testimonials

For years I have struggled with many habits that have left me feeling shameful, frustrated and stuck. I’ve constantly tried to fix these problems on my own and have continued to fall back into the same vicious cycle. Working with Holly has completely opened my eyes to taking back and reclaiming my power.  She has shown me a new way of thinking that has proven to open so many doors in my life. The breakthroughs continue to happen, and I absolutely recommend her coaching and courses to anyone looking to make a positive change in their life. 

Everything happens for a reason, whether it’s the people we meet or the situations we face. That belief held true when I met Holly. I’ve been on a journey of growth for the past four years, starting with therapy and personal work, but something always felt incomplete. When I found Holly and her course, everything changed. In just a few months, I’ve grown more as an individual than I could have imagined. Before, the relationship I had with myself wasn’t where it needed to be, and it affected so many aspects of my life. I often wondered why certain things weren’t working out for me, but through Holly’s courses and coaching, I’ve realized it all stemmed from my own self-awareness, trust, origin wounds, and acceptance. Holly has helped me see things differently and start living a life that is truly authentic to who I am. I’m so grateful for the transformation I’ve experienced, and I couldn’t have done it without her.

Holly literally changed my life, both for the better and for good. Through her coaching and encouragement, I was able to gain confidence in myself as it relates to the dating world. Especially in the beginning of a relationship, when your communication style is mixing with your partner’s style and you’re discovering one another, it’s very helpful to have someone with her knowledge and expertise who is able to point out different communication patterns, provide advice and warn of potential pitfalls, all of which creates the space for us to have very authentic conversations about ourselves, what we desire in a relationship, etc. My husband and I have been happily married for 5 years now, and I say it all the time, “I truly would not have met my husband without Holly’s efforts!”
Holly has an incredible ability to dig deeper into what her clients really want and what will actually make them happy as opposed to the superficial checklist most of us carry around. She also helped me trust my intuition and take risks I otherwise may not have taken without her support. I will always be grateful for Holly and her wisdom and guidance, and send her flowers every year on my husband’s and my wedding anniversary! I never would have met him without her guidance.
Holly’s coaching helped me at work and in relationships -- thinking about how I engage and how I can approach situations and conversations differently.  Our sessions encouraged me to work through fears I had in the dating process, particularly focusing on self esteem concerns that today's world of dating seem to bring often.   I'm now happily married with a blended family filling the house, and I know Holly helped play a part in making that happen!
