Lisa McFarland is passionate about transforming the way people approach relationships. After more than 36 years of marriage, she and her husband continue to thrive by applying the tools and insights she gained through her life coaching journey—tools she now shares with others.

Lisa believes relationship coaching should be as natural as hiring a personal trainer or business coach. Too often, people carry old wounds and unhelpful patterns into their relationships, expecting them to work without support. Her mission is to change that—to remove the shame around asking for help and inspire people to see it as a path to growth, strength, and fulfillment.

Through her coaching, Lisa encourages others to embrace their potential, live authentically, and create the relationships—and lives—they’ve always dreamed of.
