I am Riska, and my work is grounded in both professional expertise and lived experience. I guide adults and children toward calm, clarity, and connection—through trauma-informed coaching (coaching with awareness of past trauma), yoga, breathwork, and sound healing.
From the Tennis Court to Deep Healing
In my younger years, I was a professional tennis player and, as a teenager, ranked on the WTA Tour (*Women’s Tennis Association*).
My father, a daily yoga practitioner, introduced me to yoga early on—as a tool for focus, mental clarity, and emotional balance, both on and off the court.
After retiring from competitive sports, I taught tennis for several years and later co-founded a creative fashion company with my sister. But in 2011, life brought me to a different kind of path.
My Healing Journey
I became seriously ill. Despite countless medical consultations, no one could explain the intense fatigue and neurological symptoms I faced.
While caring for my three young children, I was living with the invisible weight of chronic fatigue—which was later diagnosed as Lyme disease.
During those years, the only consistent support came from within:
- the breath
- gentle movement
- stillness
- and the subtle healing power of yoga and sound
Eventually, I began to recover—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. That long road shaped who I am today.
I work as
- Certified trauma coach
- Certified relationship coach
- Kundalini & Yin Yoga teacher
- Breathwork facilitator
- Sound healing practitioner (gong & singing bowls)
I support both children and adults navigating:
- emotional overwhelm
- trauma
- disconnection
- relationship issues
- long-term fatigue and burnout
My Approach
I offer a grounded, safe space rooted in:
- body wisdom
- nervous system regulation
- holding space
Sessions are tailored to each person’s unique process—whether you’re seeking rest, emotional healing, or deeper connection.
“You are not broken. Your body is wise. Let’s listen—together”.
“A calm body. A focused mind. A connected heart”.
