Hi, I’m Riley
I was drawn to massage not as a profession, but as a deeper, more meaningful way to connect.
I graduated from Delta College in Covington, Louisiana on the President’s List with a 4.0 GPA in January of 2020. I passed the Massage & Bodywork Licensing Examination (MBLEx) in February of 2020. In 2021 I relocated to La Crosse and have been practicing in the driftless area since. I was honored to receive 3rd place in the 2025 Best of La Crosse County awards, a recognition that reflects my dedication to creating meaningful, healing experiences for my clients.
Working with the Body
My approach to each session is centered around providing a personalized experience tailored to your unique needs. I take the time to listen and understand what your body is asking for, combining therapeutic techniques with a holistic, nurturing touch to support both body and mind.
While I can provide moderate to deeper pressure when needed, my work is not focused on extremely intense or forceful deep tissue. If you’re looking for an intensely firm massage, I may not be the right therapist for you — and that’s okay.
My true expertise lies in creating sessions that blend effectiveness with comfort, allowing you to fully relax while still receiving meaningful therapeutic work. My mission is to offer a serene, healing space where you can reconnect with yourself and leave feeling restored and renewed.
When I’m Not in Session
I enjoy reading, practicing the drums, anything outdoors, and cruising around in my Jeep. I have three dogs with my amazing husband and we love getting out into nature and enjoying the sunshine :)
Hello, I’m Darius
My path to Reiki didn't start with a book; it started with a transformation.
For a long time, I felt a deep shift happening within me—a spiritual awakening that changed how I saw the world. During this time, healers and mentors across the metaphysical community kept sharing the same message: “You carry the vibration of a healer.”
Recognizing the humanitarian in myself, I realized my heart had found its home. When I discovered Reiki, I knew it was my true calling.
My Approach & Lineage
I am trained in Usui Holy Fire® I & II, a lineage that combines traditional teachings with a refined, high-frequency energy. My practice is rooted in a deep love for all living beings; in addition to my work with people, I am passionate about extending these healing vibes to animals and providing energetic sanctuary for caregivers.
Whether you are navigating your own awakening, caring for others, or seeking balance for your pets, I hold a sacred space for you to shed what no longer serves you and reconnect with your inner light.
Beyond the Studio
My life is a beautiful balance of energy and family. I am married and a father of five boys, so I truly understand the value of finding a "zen" space in the middle of a busy life!
When I’m not with my family or practicing Reiki, I’m big into gaming—it’s my favorite escape from reality. I also love working with resin and Orgonite, or pulling a Tarot card for daily inspiration. Although I have yet to master it, I really enjoy doing yoga, and I also love DJing and getting in a little bit of hiking. I often spend my time meditating to peaceful music or hanging out with my leopard gecko, Geocache.
Above all, I find the most joy in doing whatever I can to bring a smile to someone’s face and help them have a better day.
