Today we’d like to introduce you to Ria Founder Of Ria Healings.
Hi Ria, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I became an entrepreneur in my twenties, building a business from the ground up and eventually growing it into an organization with approximately 60 employees. After a decade, I sold the company and began exploring a very different direction in my life.
My journey into energy work began in a way I never could have anticipated.
I was having tea with a friend and her mother when my friend suddenly winced in pain. She was struggling to find a comfortable position.
Without really knowing why, I asked her where it hurt.
She showed me, and almost instinctively, I moved closer and held my hands near the painful area, without touching her.
Almost immediately, I began feeling an extraordinary warmth in my hands. I had no idea what was happening, but the sensation kept growing until my hands felt so hot that I became frightened and pulled away.
My friend looked surprised.
She told me that the pain had shifted and that she was feeling more comfortable.
Her mother, who was familiar with Reiki and other spiritual practices, immediately said, “Do it again!”
“Do what?” I asked.
“What you just did!”
“But I didn’t do anything!”
I was genuinely confused, and honestly, a little scared.
Eventually, I agreed to try again. I held my hands near my friend, closed my eyes, and allowed myself to follow the sensations I was experiencing.
When I finished, she told me she felt much better. The following day, she was up and walking.
I didn’t know what to make of it. My first thought was that it must have been a coincidence.
But then I began sharing the experience with other friends. Some asked whether I could try something similar with them or someone they knew.
I agreed, always making it clear that I had no idea whether anything would happen.
To my surprise, more people began reporting improvements.
Eventually, people even asked me to try working with their pets. Once again, I said, “I don’t know if I can help, but we can try.” Some owners subsequently reported improvements in their animals, too.
For a long time, I remained skeptical of my own experiences. I wasn’t trained in Reiki or any other energy-healing modality when this began. I was simply curious about something I couldn’t explain.
That curiosity eventually led me to study different approaches to energy work with experienced teachers and practitioners. I later became a Reiki Master and a meditation teacher.
What began as an unexpected moment over a cup of tea gradually developed into a passion and, ultimately, a new professional direction.
Today, through Ria Healings, I work with people experiencing a wide variety of physical challenges, from everyday aches and discomfort to persistent pain, chronic conditions, stiffness, and mobility limitations. Every person’s situation is different, and I approach each session individually, without limiting my work to a particular condition or part of the body.
My sessions are completely no-touch and available both in person and remotely. Clients have reported meaningful improvements in their pain levels, physical comfort, and freedom of movement, sometimes during the session itself.
I don’t claim to understand everything about why people sometimes report these changes. But I have learned to approach the work with curiosity, humility, and a deep appreciation for what meaningful relief can represent in someone’s life.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It certainly hasn’t been a smooth road!
Building my first business taught me a great deal about perseverance. Growing a company from the ground up, managing a team of approximately 60 people, and eventually selling it required determination, adaptability, and a willingness to navigate uncertainty.
But in many ways, embracing my work in energy healing has been an even greater personal challenge.
I was an excellent student. I earned several degrees, received academic awards, and spent much of my life believing that knowledge, qualifications, and hard work were the foundations of professional credibility.
My first business fit naturally into that world. We provided a tangible service, people understood what they were paying for, and the results were relatively easy to explain.
Energy work challenged that entire framework.
People began coming to me with physical pain, discomfort, or mobility difficulties, and many reported feeling significantly better after our sessions, sometimes even experiencing complete relief or greater freedom of movement. Yet I couldn’t fully explain why these changes were happening.
I struggled with the idea of pursuing work that didn’t follow the conventional path of earning a degree, developing an expertise, and applying that knowledge.
I worried that people might question my credibility because my work didn’t fit the conventional definitions of professional expertise I had spent so many years embracing.
There was also a deeply personal challenge. Some of my family’s religious beliefs are at odds with this kind of work. The possibility of disappointing people I love, or feeling that I had to choose between their approval and following my own path, weighed heavily on me.
All of this made it difficult to fully embrace my experiences, even as more people began sharing positive results with me.
And the truth is, I still struggle with these fears today.
Putting myself out there publicly, talking openly about what I do, and allowing myself to be seen in this new role still requires courage.
Even participating in this interview feels like a meaningful step for me.
What has gradually helped me move forward is recognizing that I don’t need to have every answer or convince everyone. I can be honest about what I don’t understand while also being honest about what my clients tell me they experience.
But there’s a question I keep coming back to: If someone comes to me in pain and leaves feeling dramatically better, sometimes even reporting that their pain is completely gone, how could I let my fear of being judged stop me from offering that possibility to someone else?
I know I can’t promise those results to everyone, and I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But I’ve witnessed changes that have deeply moved me. And I’ve come to believe that holding back simply because I’m afraid of what others might think would be a greater regret than allowing myself to be seen.
I’m learning that courage isn’t necessarily the absence of fear. Sometimes it’s simply deciding that something matters enough to pursue it, even while you’re still afraid.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Ria Healings?
Ria Healings is an energy-work practice based in Hoboken, New Jersey, specializing in helping people experiencing physical pain, discomfort, stiffness, and mobility limitations.
I offer individual, completely no-touch sessions, both in person and remotely, as well as private group energy-work experiences.
My approach is personalized and grounded in curiosity, compassion, and the experiences of the people I work with. Clients have reported significant improvements in pain levels, physical comfort, and freedom of movement, sometimes during a session itself.
While results vary and energy work is not a substitute for medical care, my goal is to help people explore another possibility for greater comfort and well-being.
Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
Growing up, I was curious, enthusiastic, and always eager to learn. I was an excellent student, but my interests extended far beyond the classroom.
I was particularly fascinated by languages, different cultures, and the way people lived around the world. I loved the idea of being able to communicate with someone in their own language, understand their perspective, and discover ways of life different from my own. That curiosity eventually led me to study several languages and travel extensively.
I was also known in my family as the helpful one. If someone needed a hand, wanted company, or had something they didn’t feel like doing alone, I was usually the person who said yes. I’ve always enjoyed being there for people and making their lives a little easier. I was also very observant and sensitive to the people around me, often noticing subtle changes in their moods or how they were feeling.
Another quality that has stayed with me is my openness to new experiences. I’ve always been the kind of person who gets excited when someone suggests trying something unfamiliar. My response is usually, “Why not? Let’s try!”
Looking back, I can see how those qualities shaped my journey. My love of languages and cultures influenced my first career, while my curiosity, openness, and desire to help others eventually led me toward energy work.
I certainly never imagined that this would be my path, but perhaps it’s not so surprising after all.
