Riley Eliza, the hands behind RE. Studio of Wellness

At RE.Studio of Wellness, skin is treated as a living, breathing reflection of everything that moves through us — emotion, environment, energy. Founded by holistic skin therapist Riley Pennington, the studio is where science meets intuition, and facial therapy becomes far more than surface care.

Riley’s journey began over 15 years ago in New Zealand’s holistic spa world, later taking her to Australia to refine her craft within Aesop’s renowned facial spaces, lead global education programs, and manage The Facialist in New Zealand before creating her own studio. Her foundation includes CIDESCO and CIBTAC qualifications — the international gold standard in aesthetics — alongside postgraduate studies in holistic spa therapies and advanced massage training focused on buccal and TMJ release.

Her practice draws on a global lineage of touch — the sculptural precision of Eastern European facial massage, the rhythmic flow of Japanese Kobido, Ayurvedic head massage, and Danish-inspired lymphatic drainage. These techniques form her signature: a tension-melting, sculpt-centric experience that re-educates the facial muscles, promotes lymphatic flow, and restores energetic harmony.

Each treatment is bespoke — a blend of rhythm, breath, and considered formulation. It’s a moment to slow down, reconnect, and feel a shift that lingers long after leaving the treatment bed.

This isn’t about perfect skin. It’s about balance, vitality, and the quiet confidence that comes from truly feeling well in your own skin x
