‍ Hi, I’m Ria. I’m so glad you’re here.

Keeping it together on the outside, but struggling on the inside? I’ve been there.

Over a decade ago, my life looked great on the surface. I had a busy career in media, and I was doing a masterful job of holding it all together with caffeine and sheer willpower. But after a series of back-to-back heavy events including the sudden loss of a close friend, the floodgates opened.

Years of unresolved trauma and buried pain came rushing to the surface. I tried to run from it. Oh, believe me, I tried.

Maybe you know that feeling. You try to bury the pain with various things. You try to ignore it. You try to stay busy. I tried all of that and then some, but the pain simply wouldn’t let me run from it anymore.

Determined to finally peel back the layers, heal, and try to understand myself better, I plunged into spirituality, psychology, yoga, traditional therapy, and so much more. I was doing all the "right" things, but I still felt like I was spinning my wheels, searching for a real breakthrough.

Then, while speaking with a friend about my healing journey, she casually suggested I try hypnosis.

I think I actually laughed out loud. I thought she was joking, because my mind immediately jumped to a hypnotist on stage waving a pocket watch, making an unsuspecting audience member quack like a duck. I was 100% convinced she was messing with me.

But my friend, bless her, explained that she wasn’t talking about stage hypnotism but hypnotherapy. Which has absolutely nothing to do with stage tricks or making a fool of yourself. Instead, hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for reprogramming your subconscious mind and helping the brain actually rewire itself.

Having nothing to lose, I booked a session.

Cut to a couple sessions later, for the first time in years, I felt relaxed and deeply safe in my body again. I felt tangible, rapid shifts in my mind and physical well-being.

Over the next few years, I became my own healing guinea pig. I worked with different hypnotherapists for different areas of my life, obsessed with finding what worked and what didn't. While maintaining my career in the media business, I spent as much of my free time completely geeking out over subconscious reprogramming & learning everything I could about hypnosis. Eventually, one of my own therapists became my mentor, and I was able to go on to learn and be certified from, in my opinion, the absolute best hypnotherapist out there.

Today, as I look back, I know for sure that my darkest seasons were not just about my own survival. It was a masterclass and training ground for the work I do now.

I know what it feels like to search for answers, and to take that courageous first step toward change.

when we work together:

• You are always in control: You are awake, aware, and in the driver's seat the entire time.

• You are in a completely safe space: I approach every client with deep compassion, zero judgment, and total respect for your unique path. And I promise you: there will be no weird mind games, and absolutely no duck noises (hopefully you got that callback). Just a safe space to unpack what is heavy.

• You may experience real, tangible shifts: If you’re receptive to hypnosis. We aren't just talking about the problem; we are working directly with your subconscious mind to actually release it and reclaim your power.

You don’t have to carry this weight alone anymore. Whenever you are ready, let’s do this together.
