Ryan met Nonie (Specialised Gyrotonic®️ Master Trainer) in Hong Kong through Contact Improvisation. Nonie recognized Ryan’s special gift for healing, and he began working alongside Nonie, further learning the gift to detect and release the location of blockages and negative energy patterns within the body’s energy field. Since then, Ryan has deepened his ability to change negative energy patterns using movement, specific manual techniques, and channelling positive healing energy through his body and out of his hands.

It is Ryan’s desire to help others live their lives fully, pain free and in a way that brings awareness to the whole body. Locating ways to embed information into the nervous system so to prevent unwanted and potentially unknown historical energy patterns from repeating themselves.
