After living in Kelowna for 3 years, Ryan has recently made the exciting move to Victoria, bringing with him over 21 years of experience in massage therapy. With a deep love for the west coast, Ryan is thrilled to be residing in this beautiful city.
Ryan’s journey in massage therapy began at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy, where he graduated in April 2002. In 2005, he opened Spruce Body Lab, a full service, multi-practice clinic in Yaletown, Vancouver. For many years, he successfully owned and operated the practice before eventually selling it in 2017. For the past 6 years, Ryan has been working in Physiotherapy clinics, collaborating closely with physiotherapists to develop concurrent treatment plans for optimal therapeutic results. Committed to continuous growth, Ryan has pursued further education to enhance his skills and expand his understanding of human anatomy.
Ryan believes that the core foundation of every good, safe and effective massage is a thorough assessment process coupled with active listening skills, ensuring that each client receives the most appropriate treatment plan. He values building a foundation of trust and open communication, believing that it is crucial for a successful therapeutic experience. Ryan’s massage style is a harmonious blend of traditional Swedish techniques with modalities such as myofascial release, deep tissue, joint mobilizations, and trigger point therapy.
While not at the clinic, Ryan enjoys immersing himself in the beauty of nature. You can often find him hiking or taking long walks with his husband throughout the year, as well as skiing down mountains during the winter months. He also dedicates time to his own well-being through fitness and mobility exercises. In his downtime, Ryan enjoys cooking, watching movies, listening to music, and cherishing moments with family, good friends and his beloved cats.
