Introduction: I have taken it upon myself to provide a three step approach to wellness. I have achieved an education in massage therapy, personal training, and nutrition. While each one can be done alone it is much more beneficial to apply all three to your lifestyle. Muscles need to be relaxed, strengthened, and nourished appropriately for full range of motion and overall comfort in your daily life to be achieved. We all want to be healthy individuals living as comfortably as possible for as long as possible and I have these three specific avenues of expertise I can apply to your whole body and mind approach to health. Other avenues are also available just by being an attentive listener, caring, offering possible solutions to general life problems, and being supportive of moving forth in a positive direction. I like working with people and the individual approach each person requires. No one person is the same and it keeps my work interesting. I love that I chose to do this profession and am personally motivated by being a positive presence in the field.

I have had years of receiving massage from various people and places, yet I cannot say enough good things about my experience with getting a massage from Ryan. I needed immediate assistance, particularly in my shoulder area before a demanding performance that evening as a orchestra conductor. I had hoped to have at least one, pain free performance that opening weekend. After I was worked on, I was astounded at how quickly my pain left me and how greatly my mobility increased. I conducted an entire musical theater show, 5 separate times that particular weekend, PAIN FREE. His attention to detail, as well as his knowledge of applying appropriate pressure where necessary, combined with easily communicating with me about breathing, allowed my muscles to get the release they needed. Not only have I used Ryan for massage, but I have also gained wonderful nutritional knowledge that I have put to immediate use. Since I am an extremely busy person, my life does not allow the time to research the information that I would like to receive about nutrition and health. I enjoy being able to trust and receive good, solid knowledge that I know is being shared with genuine enthusiasm and care for my well being. I cannot say enough good things about Ryan and his services.

I received a massage from Ryan as a birthday present last year - little did I know what an incredible gift it would be! Ryan came to our home, which was different for me - I'm used to going in to receive a massage - but it was actually so wonderful, convenient, luxurious, and comfortable to have hime in our home, that it started off everything on a fabulous note. The actual massage was wonderful - a perfect mix of relaxation and real bodywork that helped with a pinched nerve and some sciatica I was struggling with. Ryan was responsive, balanced, intuitive, knowledgeable, and passionate about his work, and I could definitely tell that as the recipient of his massage. Afterwards he showed me some exercises I could do with a tennis ball and a few stretches in case the muscle cramps returned, which was great; I really appreciated how much time he took to work with me before the massage to learn my needs, and after the massage to make sure I would be able to enjoy the benefits of his work for weeks and months to come. I highly recommend his services, enjoy!

The one important thing I remember when I worked with Ryan is his dedication to help relieve my pain and work on the source of the pain. Ryan's knowledge of the body is impressive and help me understand how to fix the issues I was having. I look forward to working with Ryan again soon.

Ryan is very knowledgeable in so many areas and has a very relaxing and effective touch! He has a professional and contagious personality! I admire both his eagerness to know more and his consistent care and focus to help people!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Please see above for my pricing in the description of services. For some reason the format didn't work too well down here for listing my prices and such.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes I do all the continuing education requirements that are required within my fields. Every year I need to take continuing education classes to keep getting re-certified. For example, in massage I have taken classes in massage for migraines, energy work, rotator cuff techniques, myofascial release, pregnancy massage, etc. In personal training I have taken suspension training and kettlebell, and in nutrition I am still fresh out of my schooling and haven't had to take additional classes yet.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always lived an intensely active lifestyle. I played sports all throughout my childhood and eventually received a scholarship to play baseball in college. I became a public high school teacher and abroad teacher and a coach for many years out of San Francisco and Philadelphia. Public school employment was not secure, reliable, or good pay. I re-tooled and switched careers to open my new business in wellness. The journey has been amazing to make the switch and empowering as well to prove to myself that it's never too late or too intimidating to change careers or make a switch to improve your life.
