Approach

I was new to breath work and sound when I was first introduced to Riley. The timing was perfect when I started the classes, as I had just experienced a great loss, and the sound and breath really helped manage and work through the emotions on a level that I had not experienced before.

The entire class is so helpful, no matter what state I am in, and the sound itself is amazing and unlike anything I had (or have) experienced. A mixture of calm, unusual and magic.

I came to Riley the first time not entirely sure what I was walking into — sound bowls, bodywork, all of it was new to me. What I found was someone who simply knew what to do. Riley is young, but there’s an old soul in the way she works: intuitive, unhurried, completely present. She has a natural gift for this.

What struck me most is that she often knew what I needed before I did. I’ve arrived at sessions thinking I was fine, and left feeling like something had been quietly put back in place — mentally and physically. No two sessions have ever been the same. Each one had its own character, its own effect, and I always left surprised by something.

There’s a warmth to the space she creates that’s hard to put into words. Maternal, gentle, deeply safe. You don’t have to understand what she’s doing or believe anything in particular for it to work — you just have to show up. If you’ve been curious about sound healing but weren’t sure where to start, start with Riley.

“Riley’s sound-baths are both a gateway to internal exploration and an excuse to let go of everything for an hour. They can be hands on, or hands off. You can slowly disappear into vibrational sound or address thoughts and feelings that have been weighing on you. In the best circumstances, you might even find little nuggets that you have been hiding from yourself. I have had several breakthroughs of the mind, body, and soul in Riley’s classes. I am so proud of my sister and cannot recommend them enough.”

I came in curious and stayed because it works. Riley has a real feel for the room. She reads the energy, holds it, and moves you through the session without ever forcing it. Her playing is the part people don’t expect. It’s not just sound, it’s artistry, and it pulls you into a state that’s hard to get to on your own.

What sold me is that it showed up outside the room too. I track everything on my Whoop, and sound healing has registered as a positive contributor to my recovery since I started logging it. The mental clarity afterward is the bigger win for me. I think clearer, I make better decisions, and I’m calmer through the week.

If you’re serious about recovery or you just need to slow the noise down, book with Riley.

I’ve known Riley for around five years and have worked with her in one form or another the whole time. I first met her through brief sound baths at the end of breathwork classes, and those quickly became my favorite part of the experience. From there I started attending her studio sound healings and later booked private sessions during the week.

As I went deeper into my own sound healing and yoga practice, Riley became my favorite practitioner. She is skilled across many instruments and has a rare ability to combine them in a way that genuinely takes you on a journey. It never feels like random noise. It feels intentional, grounded, and deeply supportive.

Over the years we’ve collaborated on sound baths, kambo ceremonies, yoga therapy workshops, and even photoshoots. She has an immense knowledge of the body and spirit, and a unique ability to bring it all together to help people feel better. I trust her implicitly in this realm and look forward to many more collaborations.
