I'm Rielle, but you can call me Ri.
I’m a writer. Creative. Nurse. Dog mom. Skincare enthusiast. Travel junkie. Aesthetic aficionado. Lover of books and purveyor of playlists.
Really, I’m a twenty-something on her own healing journey, learning how to care for myself as tenderly as I care for others. I champion radical self care & intentional wellness, creating content that makes me feel good & heal good along the way. Hopefully, it inspires the same for you.
I’ve found pieces of myself in many places: in books & in songs, in body care & in mental health care, in foreign countries & in the curated comfort of my own home. And, that’s what you’ll find here in my cozy little corner of the internet, where you’re welcome any time.
Grab some wine and stay a while, friend. I’m so glad you stopped by.
"self care is not selfish, it is self-preservation."
Get to know me.
- I'm a board certified PMHNP (psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner). Though I'm passionate about all things mental health, I'm especially interested in the mental, physical, emotional, and social effects of complex trauma.
- If it's Black-owned, I'll take six. Keep the change.
- I've spent countless hours learning how to love and care for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. I'm basically a dermatologist! (Lol, jk - but skincare has become quite a passion of mine).
- Before getting into mental health, I was an oncology RN. It was rewarding, but very tough mentally and emotionally.
