    Who We Serve

    Your path to whole body healing and optimal health

    Discover the root causes of your symptoms and create a clear path toward balance, energy, and long-term wellness with customized health coaching support.

    • You struggle with fatigue, digestive issues, or hormonal imbalances, and no one has given you real answers
    • You want to embrace natural, holistic methods instead of covering up symptoms
    • You are ready to be taken seriously, understood, and cared for as an individual
    • You want to prevent health concerns before they happen and reclaim your life

    This work is not a quick fix or another medication. It is for people ready to address the source of their symptoms and build lasting wellness from within.

    IHP Certified Health Coach

    I'm Carmela Riley, IHP Certified Health Coach, helping people achieve optimal health through state-of-the-art integrative health, at-home lab testing, and personalized wellness plans. I work with clients who are done covering up symptoms and ready to discover the root causes of how they feel, so they can restore balance, reclaim their energy, and live radiantly.

    My journey into health began with my own struggle. Chronic fatigue, digestive issues, and hormonal imbalances. Conventional medicine offered medication after medication, but no relief and no answers. Deep down, I knew there had to be a better way.

    That search led me to Integrative Health. I became my own test subject, running labs, testing protocols, detoxing, and rebalancing until I finally felt like myself again. What I discovered changed everything: true health isn't about covering symptoms. It's about restoring the body's natural healing ability and addressing the root causes of dis-ease. Now, I use everything I've learned to help people who feel stuck do the same.

    Amanda S.

    Client

    I am so thankful that I was referred to Carmela when I was! Not sure if it was middle age, burnout, or a combination of the two, but I stopped sleeping. Carmela helped me identify what I was feeling, then re-learn to listen to my body. I love that her focus is not on weight or body image, but more on confidence and self-care. Early on with some minor shifts, I sent her a note saying, “My insides are smiling!” And now I can see very measurable improvements on my Whoop from some very simple changes in lifestyle, nutrition choices, and routines. Highly recommend!

    Client

    I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Radiant Recovery. Since working with Carmela, I've lost weight, lowered my A1C and fasting blood glucose, and feel so much better overall. I'm excited to continue my progress and work toward getting off medications. Thank you, Carmela!

    Nicole K.

    Client

    Working with Carmela has been an incredibly positive experience. She's helped me feel confident in my food choices at home and while traveling, making healthy eating easier and less stressful. With her guidance, I've seen changes on the scale, in how my clothes fit, and most importantly, in how I feel. I finally have my energy back!

    Tracey A.

    Client

    Working with Carmela has greatly improved my sleep, digestion, and daily energy. Beyond the physical changes, she's helped me grow mentally by focusing on grace, balance, and realistic goals over time. This journey now feels like a sustainable lifestyle, not a diet. I'm truly grateful to have Carmela as my coach and cheerleader.
