Hi there, I’m DiAnna Ritola, and I’m so happy you found your way here! For nearly 20 years, I have been a passionate advocate for living life fully present in the skin we’re in. In the smooth and easy times of celebration and rest and the dark nights of the soul that bring lessons in tenacity, resilience, and wisdom, we get to live into the full-spectrum, prismatic existence that is our birthright. In my roles as counselor, educator, speaker, ritual facilitator, and spiritual guide, I’ve helped thousands of people reclaim the parts of themselves that have been cut off or suppressed due to trauma and shame, embrace joyful sexuality and intimate relationships, deepen spiritual practice, and create new connections with self, others, and the Divine through integration, self-compassion, and gentle (not brutal) honesty. Are you ready to Call Your Facets Home? Let’s talk about how I can help! You know it’s time to make some changes. You’re ready to take action to claim more of your authentic self, but you might not be sure how to get there, or what steps to take. I know from experience: it’s not easy to face your fears and release the patterns and practices that once worked well to keep you safe and alive but maybe aren’t really working so well for you now. Those walls you built for safety from the people and things that were too much for you to handle might be feeling more like a prison than a protective nest. Our brains and bodies crave security, but we also crave growth and new stimulation. We WANT to be brave! But sometimes we don’t know how to do that without completely freaking out our nervous system. It can be really scary to think about stepping out of what you know “works.”You may need to ease into it, or maybe you need a shoulder to lean on while you unpack your bags to lighten your load for the journey. You’ve got options; I’m here to support you in finding the path you want to take.
You don't have to feel FRAGMENTED anymore
You are not alone.
We all long to confidently inhabit our own skin, honor all the different parts of ourselves, and create thriving relationships with lovers, friends, and family.
Together we can discover your own best path to creating the life you deserve.

Mismatched Luggage: Unpacking Your Sexual Baggage for Your Spiritual Journey takes the reader into the heart of what holds us back from being embodied in our full selves and fully present in relationships.
Hint: It's that pesky baggage you've been holding on to.
If you ever feel that you are not enough or feel like you are constantly putting on a façade, I'm here to assure you that you are not alone, and that in fact, this baggage we carry doesn't have to weigh us down. We get to retain the knowledge without having to carry the burdens. You are who you are because of your experiences and learning to accept the lessons and release the weight of guilt, shame, and worry, will free more of your energy for love and connection.
