A Tribute to The Transformation Project Founder: Marianne Lawless
A woman known for her sense of style, straight forward personality, and charismatic way of seeing the world, Marianne Lawless started The Transformation Project with her two daughters Melinda Lawless Coker and Marilisa Lawless. In fact, The Transformation Project was born out of her desire to have mothers and daughters work and build a business together, one that would change the world one person at a time.
As a high school graduate, she began counseling under the mentorship of Barbara Myrick. In fact, the care she gave to her son during his illness was followed by a full scholarship from Plantation General Hospital to become an RN. From RN, she progressed to Director of Nursing in a hospital psychiatric unit, before moving to Broward Addiction Rehab Center’s Intensive Residential Treatment program (BARC-IRT).
Marianne obtained her B.A. from Barry University in Life Studies, her M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from St. Thomas University, and her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Union Institute.
Her life goal was to bring as many people to safety as she could. She was a strong victim’s advocate for those suffering the lifelong effects of abuse, as well as a well known advocate for women’s rights and the LGBTQ community.
Although Marianne is no longer with us today, The Transformation Project continues supporting those early ideals.
