Our Philosophy

At Riya Studios, skin health goes beyond the surface.

We integrate Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern modalities, seeing skin care as a reflection of internal balance. Our treatments honour the body as an interconnected system, where the skin, nervous system, and hormonal health are intrinsically linked.

Through bespoke facials and acupuncture, we offer a multidimensional approach where we work at the root to treat the whole person and achieve a visionary approach to skin health

Meet Your Guide

Our practice is founded and led by your guide, Mariya Makas.

Mariya is devoted to creating a space where skin health goes beyond the surface. Her tailored treatments are shaped by over a decade of experience treating the skin, alongside her degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine. 

Rooted in beauty and grounded in wellness, Mariya works with the body’s meridians, energy and nervous system to restore balance and awaken inner radiance. 

Her approach is an intentional balance of science and wisdom, all within a space where time slows, and you’re guided back to yourself.

Step Into The Riya Experience

booking your appointment

Your journey begins long before you step inside the studio. From the moment you book, the experience shifts into a gentle invitation to slow down. We encourage you to arrive early, allowing space for the mind to soften and the body to prepare.

arrival to the space

On arrival, you’re welcomed into a sanctuary of textures, shapes and scents, thoughtfully curated to elevate every part of your experience. You’re invited to unwind with infused water and curated reading, while choosing your post-treatment tea becomes the first gesture in a ritual of nourishment.

Your consultation begins a thoughtful collaboration with Mariya. Through listening deeply to your history, concerns and goals, she draws from Eastern frameworks and modern insight to offer a clear, professional approach to treatment options and expectations.

treatment solution

Your treatment is shaped through intuition, knowledge and deep intention. Drawing on Traditional Chinese Medicine and advanced facial therapies, each treatment is tailored to restore harmony across skin, body and mind. Every gesture is purposeful, supporting the skin as an expression of overall health.

post-treatment care

As you return to reception, your chosen tea awaits, offering a warm, grounding ritual to ease your transition from the treatment space. Alongside it, you’ll receive a curated treatment plan, personalised home care guidance, and any post-treatment instructions to support your results.
