About me

The happy, calm, balanced person you see in the photo, well I wasn’t always this way.

I looked like I had it all together but I was burnt out and suffering with multiple health issues. I wasn’t being true to who I really am.

My life was not how I wanted it to be. I felt stuck. I knew I needed to change but I wasn’t sure what to do or where to start.

Little by little I figured it out. I got help. I slowly made changes that brought my authenticity to the world. I changed my life and you can too.

Why work with me?

I’ve done the work. I overhauled my diet and lifestyle, changed my career, and moved to a sunnier warmer place. I have now recovered from many health issues, have inspiring work, and enjoy life more. It took time, this did not happen overnight. I’m not perfect - I’m still learning too. But I’ve come a long way. I’d love to help you make the changes you need to live the life you want.

I’ve coached hundreds. In my decade long career as a recruiter I worked with hundreds of job seekers from college grads to executives. I coached them through the process of searching, interviewing, offers, and choosing the next right move for them. I take those skills gained and my personal touch to work one-on-one with you. We figure out what you want, set goals to keep you on track, and get where you want to be.

I’m trained to help you. I’m a certified holistic life coach. I know how to ask the meaningful questions and get to the root of issues. We can identify what is holding you back. Then you determine where you want to go and we work to get there. You get results. You move past obstacles, reaching your goals, and enjoying life to the fullest.

More About Me

What’s my purpose as a coach?

My goal is to help you live life to the fullest. We work together to discover what is blocking you from doing that. You get clear, make changes, and enjoy life more.

What do I value?

Helping People: I have always been driven by how I can help people. In every position I have had its been a driving force to figure out how I can help people more. Coaching for me fulfills one of the primary things that drives me. I know that I am making a difference in the world.

Healthy Living: I eat a whole foods plant based diet that saved me from multiple chronic health issues. I meditate daily, get outside in nature, pay attention to my emotional and spiritual health, laugh as much as possible, and talk to a coach when I need help.

Savoring Life: I purposely live a slower paced life that I used to. This allows me give from a place of being full and nourished. I’m happy to be writing this from my back patio. I treasure quality time with family and friends. I consider each coaching session with a client to be quality time I value too.

Doing Passionate Work: I’ve had jobs that I’ve hated, ones that were ok, and some I partially enjoyed. It just didn’t work for me to be in them. Having work that inspires me makes a big difference.

Who do I work with?

I’ve coached people from their 20s to their 80s. I’ve worked with new college graduates, small business entrepreneurs, senior managers in corporations, executives in the non-profit and private sectors, and individuals motivated to make changes in their life. Do my purpose and values resonate with you? We may be a good fit to work together.

What’s my background?

After my bachelor’s and master’s degrees I started my career in the public sector in economic development. I then spent over a decade working in the high tech sector in corporate recruiting. While in corporate recruiting I started a side business in career coaching helping people with resumes, interviews, and job searches. I was called to do more fulfilling work outside of corporate life. I left my job, got certified as an Emotion and Body Code Practitioner, and then a Holistic Life Coach.

Riann has the capability to ask the right questions at exactly the right moment.  After my sessions with Riann I had greater awareness of my value as a person, and as a result realized greater capabilities with myself, and how that could have greater impact within my workplace and community. Riann facilitated discussions that helped me become self-aware of my greater potential, and the strategies to put in place to overcome the obstacles that were keeping me from getting there.  Riann held me accountable and ensured I followed through on my personal commitments to myself.  I have greater confidence, clarity, and have become more effective in my work and personal life.  I have realized greater impact within my spheres of influence than before I met with Riann. Because of my work with Riann I now live my life with more intentional purpose.

I had a session with Riann; she was so attentive and really listened to me. She helped me to unravel my thoughts and allowed me get everything off my chest. In doing so, I was able to become more clear about what I wanted to do about the situation at hand. I felt a lot less stressed afterwards, and knew what action I wanted to take.  Thank you, Riann.

Riann has a gift for uncovering the barriers in your life that are established by none other than, you. Not only do you uncover those barriers, Riann works with you to take them down and understand why they were there in the first place. I highly recommend Riann and her coaching. It is definitely worth it.

With the short time Riann and I worked together I got so much out of it. Riann lead me to eye opening realizations and helped me understand what I needed to implement in my life in order to see a change in myself and my external reality. Since our session together I have implemented this change and have felt much better about my internal worth. One session can really be life changing.
