Spaces For Healing

Ms. Ria Arnold is a multi-hyphenated creative, Virginia native, and the founder of Spaces for Healing. She is a graduate of Norfolk State University and holds a Master’s degree in Public Administration. As a birth and postpartum doula, she is an usher of souls. Through the lens of photography, she visually expresses captivating and memorable stories. As a certified yoga instructor, herbalism student, yoni steaming practitioner, placenta encapsulation specialist, and accountability partner; she utilizes various somatic healing techniques to aid in providing a safe space for individuals and families to reclaim and write their own narratives centered around physical and mental wellness. She also enjoys facilitating Blessing Way ceremonies to foster a smooth transition into motherhood. When she’s not aiding in providing spaces for healing, you can find her coloring with her daughter, rooting for her son at his football games, or wandering in a bookstore near you.
