Ryan (he/they) grew up in the Portland area. After spending a decade living in the Rockies and Southwest, they returned home and completed their massage therapy studies at East West College of the Healing Arts.

As a bodywork practitioner, Ryan enjoys the gratification of working with people to find new depth, ease, and empowerment in their experience of their bodies. He takes a collaborative, educational approach, informed and inspired by deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and other forms of manual therapy. Ryan can also incorporate cupping into their sessions which opens up connective tissues and stimulates blood flow.

Outside of the clinic, Ryan enjoys exploring sensation and movement in their own body, engaging in community organizing, playing soccer, trail running, learning to surf, reading, listening to music, and relaxing outdoors. They can often be found spending time with their family and friends or sopping up information about humans, history, geography, culture, and ecology.
