Get to Know Riana

RST Alchemy is a commitment and an intentional space created by Riana Taclas to support healing, self-expression, and aligned transformation.

Mission.

Through ritual, breath, and grounded energy practices, Riana holds space for individuals and communities to reconnect with their own rhythm, reflect, and move forward with clarity and intention.

Her work includes energy healing, breathwork, intuitive mentorship, and routines. With a practical and compassionate approach, Riana helps others build awareness, move through emotional blocks, and integrate meaningful shifts into everyday life.

Her practice is shaped by lived experience, ancestral roots, and a deep commitment to showing up with care, honesty, and intention.

“All of the love that you got inside was making a world all this while. And all of the light that you left behind is way up somewhere in the clouds coming back around.”

Her Path

Riana comes from a lineage of Filipina and Celtic intuitives, and from a young age was encouraged to explore her sensitivity and spiritual curiosity. By 10, she was reading tarot for family members, which planted early seeds for the work she now shares.

In 2011, she began receiving Reiki and hypnotherapy sessions, which opened new pathways for personal healing. In 2012, she co-founded About the Goods, a hip-hop lifestyle boutique with her partner, DJ Revise. While running the shop, she offered tarot readings and intuitive support to visitors, laying the groundwork for her deeper spiritual path.

In 2017, Riana shifted her focus toward healthcare and became a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) while studying nursing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she worked in a hospital setting, a frontline experience that challenged her emotionally, mentally, and physically. It was during this time that she turned more deeply toward breathwork and energy healing as essential tools for processing grief, stress, and burnout.

These practices not only supported her own healing, but clarified her path forward. In 2020, she became a certified Breathwork Facilitator through Chanel Durley and Laura Pensiero, and completed her Reiki Master Teacher training under Chanel Durley of 33rd Rising. In 2023, she was attuned as a Karuna Reiki® Master Teacher by Dr. Chris Lipat of Mind-Body Energy Medicine, expanding her ability to guide others through deeper energetic integration.

RST Alchemy is both a personal commitment and a living space for Riana’s offerings, a home for healing sessions, community gatherings, and sensory experiences that invite deeper connection and reflection.

She facilitates monthly community breathwork and energy healing for women at Moon Gate, holding space for intentional rest, release, and emotional clarity. Her group and one-on-one sessions are designed to support people in making grounded shifts, one breath at a time.

Riana also has over a decade of experience in candle ritual. In collaboration with local brand lux+alder, she created a line of candles that blend scent, sound, and intention to support mindfulness and sensory presence.

She is also the founder of QUEEN., a healing-centered community space for queen-identifying individuals rooted in storytelling, connection, and empowerment.

The Intention

Riana’s work is not about fixing or escaping, it’s about creating room for truth, clarity, and movement.
RST Alchemy exists as an intentional space for that process, held with care, shaped by experience, and open to evolution.

Kind feedback.

Riana creates a safe and healing environment that from the moment the session begins you can sense a shift. Afterwards I felt lighter, relaxed, and balanced. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in trying reiki, it was my first time and the energy work was exactly what I needed.
Thank you, Riana! I had never experienced Reiki or energy healing before. Riana came highly recommended and I felt called to see her. The booking process was easy and organized which I appreciated. Riana's space was clean and welcoming, and she was professional yet personal. I would highly recommend!
It can be a very vulnerable thing to have someone witness you at your lowest. In saying that, I was nervous and anxious before session. I wanted to try something else that wasn’t talk therapy. But I can say that I’m glad I was witnessed by Riana and guided by her during our session. She was strong and held space for me while having a nurturing and soft presence (honestly it felt like she was a big sister to me). She was also very present and attentive the whole time. I continue to feel a release of emotions and it’s been 2 days since our session. Her messages during our sessions helped me feel supported, validated, and seen. I know I’ll be thinking about our session whenever I feel the need to ground myself and re-focus. Thank you Riana for sharing your gift with us and for being my first reiki experience.
She was able to tell it like it really is, without any embellishment or sugarcoating, but delivered the messages with grace and compassion. I am appreciative of her gifts, insight, and advice and look forward to booking another healing session in the future.
