THRIVING ISN'T JUST A CONCEPT OR A FLEETING FEELING; IT'S A PROFOUND STATE OF BEING THAT ENCOMPASSES HAVING WHAT YOU WANT, FEELING FULFILLED, FINDING JOY IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS AND EXPERIENCING DEEP PEACE AND CONTENTMENT.
It's about living a life that aligns with your values and aspirations, where you feel empowered and inspired to pursue your dreams and overcome challenges with resilience.
​
When you pause to reflect on what thriving means to you, it's an invitation to delve into the core of your being and explore what truly brings you fulfillment and happiness. It's about acknowledging both your strengths and areas for growth, understanding that the journey of thriving is dynamic and ever-evolving.
​
Thriving is not a one-size-fits-all journey; it's a deeply personal and unique path that unfolds differently for each individual. It's about honoring your authentic self, embracing your passions, and cultivating resilience in the face of adversity.
​
Together, let's embark on a journey of exploration and empowerment, unraveling what thriving means for you and charting a course towards a life where you not only survive but truly thrive.

My approach is a unique blend of relational and integrative techniques, drawing deeply from psycho-dynamic mindfulness and a wealth of personal development practices.

Together, we co-create an environment that not only nurtures your growth but also cultivates a profound sense of self-love, empowering you to authentically embrace who you are.
By seamlessly integrating my personal life experiences with extensive professional training, I guide you in harmoniously blending your unique life experiences into our sessions. This inclusive approach creates a comfortable and expansive space where you are welcome to bring your beliefs, experiences, and challenges without fear of judgment. It's an invitation to embark on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance, where every aspect of your being is embraced with empathy and understanding.

WALK & TALK SESSIONS
See pricing for Individual and Couples Sessions
Step into the casual nature of Walk and Talk therapy. These sessions often make people feel more relaxed, fostering a deeper connection and greater comfort in discussing personal issues. The presence of natural light, fresh air, movement, and the serene beauty of the outdoors contributes to a calming and positive atmosphere, promoting relaxation and well-being. Available on my property outside of Ymir with access to beautiful, private forest, or in the Nelson/Salmo area in a location of your choice
ABOUT RYAN
A compassionate therapist with a passion for empowering others on their journey towards healing and self-discovery
My path as a therapist unfolded naturally as I noticed a recurring pattern in my interactions with others—they often sought me out in times of need, being drawn to my empathetic ear and genuine listening skills.
​
My interest in hypnotherapy was sparked in the late 90's by a book, The Journey of Souls by Dr. Michael Newton, which ignited a fascination with the power of the mind and the potential for healing through altered states of consciousness.
​
I have overcome my own personal struggles and challenges, which has been largely facilitated by peoples help. I feel genuinely fortunate that I have been able to turn around what could have been a disastrous, addiction and depression filled life, to a healthy fulfilling life of abundance. It is time for me to give back, which I believe is my life's purpose.
​
Inspired by my innate ability to connect with others and fueled by my passion for hypnotherapy and the power of the mind, I've dedicated myself to providing a safe and nurturing space for clients to explore their inner world, break free from limiting beliefs, and thrive authentically.
My practice is guided by my unwavering commitment to my clients well-being and fueled by my genuine desire to help others. I believe in the transformative power of therapy and I am here to support people on their journey towards greater self-understanding and fulfillment.
