Her trademarked coaching method helps adults 18+ heal both Childhood and Love Trauma so they can create the life they desire and have the love they deserve.
Riana’s mission began with her own Watch Me! comeback. At 26, she faced a $750,000 bankruptcy, a husband who defrauded her mother of $200,000, and the challenge of raising two young daughters while deeply in debt and determined to give them a quality life. She opened a model and talent agency with her first month’s rent, which within a year won the “International Model & Talent School of the Year” and began teaching the Mindset work that now defines her coaching.
Today, she is also the creator of RianaAI, a personalized, interactive, and private coaching platform offering text and video chat through an avatar trained in her methods. Available in over 175 languages, RianaAI makes trauma-recovery and wellness coaching support accessible worldwide. She recently partnered with Finland-based Pain2Care, a digital platform that helps people address pain and trauma and has relationships with healthcare organizations in Finland, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
Her work focuses on identifying and healing Childhood, Relationship, and Emotional Trauma; providing Life, Holistic, and Personal Wellness Coaching; and stopping Relationship Repetition Syndrome by replacing destructive patterns with healthier patterns that support lasting love.
