About Our Founder: Holly McCusker

I’m Holly McCusker, a certified dating and relationship coach and the founder of Love Prescriptions. I support individuals in healing relationship patterns, navigating breakups, and building healthier, more conscious relationships through neuroscience-informed and embodied work.

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. 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 a catalyst for transformation. I discovered that even when we know better, old relationship 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.  I saw in others what I had lived myself: people searching for love without truly knowing themselves, repeating patterns that led only 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.

Relationship patterns don’t begin in adulthood. They are shaped early, reinforced over time, and stored in the nervous system. At Love Prescriptions, my work integrates neuroscience, attachment-informed insight, and embodiment to help change happen at the nervous-system level, not just intellectually. This approach allows clients to understand why patterns repeat, how breakups dysregulate the body, and what actually supports lasting change. I believe healing doesn’t come from rushing, fixing, or bypassing pain. It comes from learning how to stay present, regulated, and honest with yourself,  especially in moments of emotional activation.

I work with individuals who are navigating breakups, questioning repeating relationship patterns, or wanting to build healthier, more conscious relationship, whether they are dating, partnered, or in transition. My work is especially supportive for those who value emotional depth, nervous-system awareness, and growth without pressure or performative healing.

"The Navigating Heartbreak course completely transformed how I understand breakups. My biggest takeaway was learning to honor breakup grief as a real loss and understanding how both the body and mind respond during that time. The practical tools helped me through some of the hardest moments, and hearing from others reminded me I wasn’t alone. Holly brings warmth, wisdom, and deep understanding. This work was not only healing, but incredibly validating.”
