Ed Coambs helps couples talk about money without spiraling, shutting down, or pulling out a spreadsheet like it’s emotional armor. He’s the founder of Healthy Love & Money, where he blends financial planning, relationship science, and real-life experience to help couples build both Financial Independence and Financial Intimacy.
Ed is a former firefighter turned Certified Financial Planner™, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and Certified Financial Therapist™, which means he’s spent years studying both the numbers and the nervous systems behind them. He’s especially known for helping couples who don’t see money the same way—different risk tolerances, different pacing, different definitions of “we’re fine.”
When he’s not working with couples, Ed is navigating FI in his own marriage, raising three boys, and learning—again and again—that hitting financial goals doesn’t automatically mean everyone feels safe or relaxed. His work is grounded, practical, and deeply human… with just enough humor to make hard conversations feel doable.
