Ria is a certified hypnotherapist devoted to helping individuals create meaningful and lasting change by working with the deeper intelligence of the subconscious mind. Her approach honors the profound connection between mind, body, and inner awareness, supporting clients in transforming patterns at their root rather than simply managing symptoms. Thoughtful, intentional, and deeply client-centered, Ria meets each person with compassion, respect, and a belief in their innate capacity for healing and growth.

Before entering the field of hypnotherapy, Ria built a successful career in creative and media-based industries, working in fashion and celebrity photography before founding and operating a thriving media and marketing business. Throughout the last decade, in the quieter background of her life, Ria began engaging deeply in trauma-informed healing work and spiritual inquiry after experiencing significant personal challenges, including the loss of a close friend. These experiences prompted a sincere search for deeper meaning, leading her to explore questions around healing, identity, resilience, and the nature of lasting transformation. This period initiated a years-long exploration of therapeutic, contemplative, and spiritual modalities. Having worked with multiple hypnotherapists herself, she gained insight into both the strengths and limitations within the field from the client’s perspective. Through this process, she recognized that while many approaches offered valuable support, it was hypnotherapy that facilitated the most profound, measurable, and lasting transformation. The experience revealed to her the remarkable capacity of the subconscious mind to reorganize perception, release outdated emotional imprints, and restore an individual’s sense of inner coherence. This realization became a clear calling to guide others through similar transformative processes. Her work is informed not only by professional training, but by lived experience and deep reverence for the courage required to create meaningful change.

Ria trained under world-renowned hypnotherapist Marisa Peer and is certified in advanced hypnotherapy methods. She is also a certified RTT® (Rapid Transformational Therapy) practitioner, a powerful and integrative form of hypnotherapy developed exclusively by Marisa Peer that creates rapid and lasting results. In addition to hypnotherapy training, Ria has studied meditation and contemplative practices through Michael Beckwith, the Brahma Kumaris, the Isha Institute, and other respected mentors.

Outside of her practice, Ria loves being in nature with her dogs, Cosmo and Sammy. She has a deep love for photography and art, and enjoys creative expression through visual storytelling. A dedicated plant parent, she finds joy in nurturing spaces that feel calm and alive. She values humor as an essential part of well-being and enjoys stand-up comedy for its ability to bring perspective and lightness to the human experience. She remains committed to continual learning and to integrating both scientific understanding and timeless wisdom traditions in her work.
