The vision behind Riomattá
About The Founders
“ MULTI STYLE BREATHWORK COACH, SOUND ALCHEMIST, DJ & PRODUCER
LEAD MENTOR ”
Rio Williams
Rio is the Co-Founder of Riomattá, a Certified Multi-Style Breathwork facilitator, Cold Water Coach, Sound Alchemist, DJ, Producer & Space Holder.
With over two decades behind the decks as an international DJ, her work is rooted in a refined understanding of rhythm, frequency, and the emotional language of sound. She crafts immersive sonic environments that move beyond listening, shaping breath experiences that support nervous system regulation, presence, and release.
Her approach is grounded in lived experience. Walking a path through ADHD and sobriety, she brings a level of depth, sensitivity, and precision to the spaces she holds, creating environments that are inclusive, steady, and anchored.
At the core of her work is the relationship between sound, breath, and the body. Using these as entry points, she guides people into a deeper awareness of their internal landscape, building the capacity to stay with sensation and meet themselves with more honesty and resilience.
