From a young age, I was captivated by the mind’s power and the deep connection between emotions and the body. My personal challenges and life experiences shaped me into someone who believes deeply in the power of connection—both with ourselves and the world around us.
I’m here to walk with you as you reconnect with yourself, heal, and live your life with intention, joy, and cosmic alignment.
I’m Riley, and I’m so happy you’re here
( CHAPTER 1 )
I Always Wanted to Figure Out How to Fix Others
As a child, I watched my parents struggle with mental health battles that threatened to break our family apart. I couldn’t stand them going through so much pain, and it broke me to know there was nothing I could do to help them.
Growing up in a home where these struggles were a constant, I knew early on that I wanted to help others navigate their emotional worlds.
I often imagined a world where the people I loved felt better, happier, and were “fixed.”
And, if that wasn’t possible, I at least wanted to understand the complexities of depression, anxiety, and addiction so I could have healthier relationships.
But mostly? I wanted to know the science to prevent this pain from happening to others.
( CHAPTER 2 )
I grew up fast, suppressing emotions, trying to be strong, and not being happy with anything less than perfect.
I was so focused on making everyone else’s life easier that it consumed me to the brink of unintentional anorexia and chronic health problems.
It also turned me into a rule-follower, people-pleaser, and box-checker.
I set out to do everything and be perfect, since being “not enough” wasn’t an option. I was a straight-A Honor Society student, a three-sport athlete, and an active officer and participant in every extracurricular my high school offered.
University found me pursuing a degree in Psychology with minor in education, blending my love for understanding the mind with my passion for teaching, and still relentlessly pursuing my self-imposed demands for perfection.
I traveled abroad, learned a new language, and married my best friend of 8 years. I was a faithful Christian, dedicated student, and was surrounded by supportive friends and family.
Seriously, what was I missing?!
I was missing the point.
Everything I wanted and needed to become was already woven into my cells. I didn’t need to succeed at one more thing to be enough. I needed to learn how to feel deeply and accept that my emotions were a gift. An internal power, both in a scientific and divinely feminine sense. (And yes, we can have both).
That by simply being ME, I was enough as-is.
Full stop.
End of story.
( CHAPTER 3 )
The Butterfly Effect
After a difficult season stuck in an unfulfilling job, a chance encounter led me to coaching. I had my very own, full-blown butterfly effect.
The ‘Butterfly Effect’ Theory highlights the interconnectedness of events, suggesting that the mere flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil could ultimately cause a tornado in Texas.
What is even more incredible is that it was a little sticker I designed that was sent to the friend of a friend I’d met in Brazil that brought me, awe-struck, into the magic of coaching.
My soul whispering, “This is it!! This is the thing you were made for,” all along of the way.
Coaching took me out of my comfort zone and lit me up in ways I didn’t know were possible.
Coaching has shown me the darkest and most beautiful parts of myself, and for the first time in my life, truly taught me how to feel alive. From the very first moment I knew it was the perfect path to combine my skills and passions, and I soon became dual-certified in conscious and subconscious change work, allowing me to support women on an even deeper level.
I believe each person’s journey is as unique & intricate as the universe itself, with their own rhythms, needs, and purpose.
That’s why I take a client-led approach, empowering my clients to guide their own sessions and uncover the answers already within. Like the dance of particles in the cosmos, every step of their journey is sacred.
My role is not to be a guru, but a lantern—a light helping them navigate their inner universe, rediscover their wisdom, and trust in their own path.
As Emily Dickinson said, 'I am out with lanterns looking for myself.' My aim is to be that lantern for others, guiding them toward alignment with their true essence.
