Riana Milne, MA, LMHC, Cert. Coach

My review for Therapy by the Sea & Riana Milne is really going to touch home and would like to share on how amazing this incredible woman is and how she has helped me through a year roller coaster of my personal well being and also the relationship I was in at the time. I hope by me opening up, I can help others to not be afraid and get out there and be comfortable with going to therapy. It’s great for your inner peace and mind.
I found Riana by chance searching for a women’s group and therapy coaches on Google. I had been to a few «Professionals» and never really connected with them. I wasn’t feeling I was learning about what I needed to do in order to get myself back on track. The others I went to were just there for me to vent, talk and take my money. Complete waste of money and time, and only wish I had found Riana sooner.
From the first day I met with Riana, I knew I had a connection with her. Her sweet smile and kind heart made me feel comfortable to talk to her and not only did she let me talk, she dug in to questions and challenged me to open up on why I was in certain situations and felt like I didn’t deserve better. She started with giving me worksheets to work on about myself so she could see how I viewed/​evaluated myself. It was apparent, I had low self esteem from unhealthy relationships and it’s sad to say I didn’t even know what a healthy one was until now. :)
I had started therapy by myself a year ago and was in an up and down relationship for quite some time. In turn, I had brought that person in to therapy with me to try and work on «us» … Well, through work with Riana and completing worksheets together, it was an eye opener that there was never really an «us». I was lucky enough to escape the biggest mistake of my life with that person, marriage. I started individual sessions again with Riana, and from that moment on, that’s when I had gained my confidence back with great help from her and started to work on getting myself to a point of happiness and self worth again.
I cannot thank Riana enough for being such an amazing coach and person. She is kind and such a great mentor. She has taught me a lot about myself and what hard work pays off and getting me to a better me ! Her books are inspiring and a great read. I have both of them, «Live Beyond your Dreams» and «Love Beyond your Dreams», and reference them from time to time. She has book singings and also seminars that I’ve been to as well to support her because she supported me when I needed it. I look to her as a mother figure and will always be a special person to me. I encourage anyone and everyone who is in need of help with themselves or a relationship to give her a try and you will not be sorry. You will conquer your fears and grow to become a better you. Since then, I am the happiest I have been with who I am and who I have become and on my way with someone special to finding love again :)
Thank you Riana from the bottom of my heart xo
