Ryan takes pride in working  with his patients to develop customized treatment plans which focused on their current needs, as well as their long-term rehabilitation goals.  Ryan gained valuable hands-on experience serving the community through the OVCMT college’s in-reach program, during which time he developed a keen interest in treating challenging chronic conditions, building relationships based on trust, while also helping his patients realize their goals of maintaining healthy and active lifestyles.​

After graduation, Ryan and his partner moved from the Okanagan to Vancouver Island in order to pursue their passion for helping others. He excels in treating many common conditions such as headaches, restricted ranges of motion, deep tissue and trigger points, as well as improving the mobility of scar tissue and decreasing stress.

Before beginning his journey to become an RMT, Ryan has worked as a professional chef in many of the high-end kitchens of various boutique hotels, wineries, and resorts all over Canada. As a longtime member of the hospitality world, he has grown to understand the value in developing a client focused relationship and in turn has always operated with the customer’s best interests at heart. It therefore comes as no surprise that Ryan has brought his flair for client centered care into the treatment room as he continues to work diligently at creating individualized and adaptive treatment plans for each and every individual.
