A School of Holistic Practices to support deeper, more embodied transformation

Riomattá was created as a space for serious inner work, ethical facilitation, and grounded holistic education.

We begin with trauma-informed breathwork, while holding a wider vision for future trainings, spaces, and practices that support healing, growth, and service.

Why We Exist

Riomattá was born from a simple recognition: transformational work deserves more depth.

In a world where wellness can easily become fast, aesthetic, and surface-level, we believe the practices that touch the breath, the body, the nervous system, and the emotional landscape must be approached with responsibility, maturity, and reverence.

We created Riomattá as a response to that need... a place where deep work is not separated from safety, where spiritual openness is balanced by grounded practice, and where facilitation is treated as a path of embodiment, not performance.

What we stand for

At the heart of Riomattá is a strong commitment to work that is:

- Embodied rather than performative

- Ethical rather than reactive

- Grounded rather than inflated

- Transformational rather than superficial

- Human, relational, and rooted in integrity

We believe that those who guide others should be trained in more than techniques alone.They should develop presence, discernment, nervous system awareness, and the capacity to hold transformation with care.

Our approach

Our approach brings together depth, structure, and lived experience.

We are interested in education that does not simply inform... but transforms.

Education that supports both personal evolution and professional readiness.

Education that honours the complexity of the human experience while giving practitioners clear foundations for the work they are here to do.

This is why our first offering begins with trauma-informed breathwork facilitation: a modality that can be profoundly transformative when held with skill, safety, and integrity.

The vision behind Riomattá

Riomattá is not only a training provider.

It is the beginning of a wider school of holistic practices.

Our vision is to grow a home for deep learning... one that supports practitioners, space holders, and seekers through trainings, immersions, and educational pathways that honour the whole human being.

We are here to help shape a new standard of holistic practice: one that values depth over image, embodiment over performance, and integrity over noise.

About The Founders

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 in integrity rather than performance.

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.

Matthieu Duffy

Matt is Co-Founder of Riomattá, a breathwork facilitator, integration coach, retreat leader, and author of a book on breathwork. He has built and led a large breathwork community across Ireland and online, guiding individuals and groups through transformative work through the breath.

Matt has over a decade of dedicated practice, study, and facilitation in breath as well as having immersed himself in yoga, trauma-informed approaches, sound, bodywork, and ceremonial spaces. His work is shaped not only by training but by lived experience that includes a deep exploration of spirituality, meditation, and plant medicine, all of which inform how he understands healing and transformation.

At the core of his work is a belief in the body’s innate capacity to heal. He uses breathwork as a direct access point to the subconscious, supporting deep emotional, physical, and psychological release, while emphasising the importance of integration and responsibility in the process.

Matt’s approach is grounded, direct, and service-led. He is committed to holding spaces that are both powerful and contained where people are supported to meet themselves honestly, activate their own healing, and build a more embodied relationship with their lives.
