How to Rewire Your Brain: Neuroplasticity, Breathwork and the Power of New Pathways

Stuck in the same thought patterns? Learn how neuroplasticity, breathwork and altered states of consciousness can help you create lasting change in your nervous system and your life.

Riva is a highly skilled trauma-informed somatic practitioner, artist, and coach dedicated to empowering women on their journey to healing and self-discovery. Currently pursuing her Master’s in Art Therapy and Counseling, Riva brings over a decade of experience working with the body, creativity, and trauma recovery. Her expertise is rooted in rigorous training with renowned institutions and mentors such as Revelation Breathwork, Atira Tan, Cycle Coach School, and The Embody Lab.

Since 2015, Riva has worked intimately with women in roles spanning creative direction, teaching, and facilitation. As a former fitness professional, she partnered with organizations like UC Davis and CalPERS, supporting clients in achieving their health and wellness goals. Through her work, she recognized that sustainable transformation requires addressing the deeper layers of trauma held within the nervous system. This revelation led her to specialize in somatic therapy and trauma recovery, weaving together movement, breathwork, spirituality, and art as tools for profound healing.

Riva’s approach to trauma recovery is both holistic and deeply personal, focusing on the innate wisdom of the female body and the power of creativity. Her work helps women reconnect with their bodies, reclaim their feminine power, and resolve the wounds of early childhood trauma that often shape self-perception and behavior.

A visionary in her field, Riva is passionate about fostering a world where resilient, connected, and empowered women lead with authenticity and balance. Her mission is to awaken and amplify the feminine frequency within, restoring harmony and sustainability to a patriarchal world.

When Riva isn’t serving her clients or immersed in learning, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two cats. She finds joy in cooking, dancing, singing, and exploring new places, all while prioritizing self-care and nurturing her body, mind, and soul.
