Massage Style & Techniques

Ryan is trained in Deep Tissue and Swedish Massage, offering sessions that are both therapeutic and restorative.

Earlier in his career, a wrist injury led him to develop a unique approach to bodywork using primarily his forearms. This technique — often referred to as the Auth Method — allows him to work deeply and effectively while maintaining a smooth, flowing rhythm that many clients find especially relaxing.

The result is a massage that feels grounding, consistent, and intentional, rather than overly aggressive or rushed.

What Clients See Ryan For

Ryan works primarily with clients who want to fully relax while still addressing areas of chronic tension. Clients often book with Ryan for:

✨ Neck and shoulder tension
✨ Hip discomfort and tightness
✨ Stress-related muscle holding
✨ Nervous system calming and deep relaxation

His sessions are ideal for those who want to leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more balanced.

Energy Work & Holistic Approach

Ryan has been practicing Reiki for over 25 years and recently completed advanced training in CranioSacral Therapy, which he now gently incorporates into every massage session.

While you may not always notice it consciously, Ryan works with the understanding that massage affects the body on an energetic level as well as a physical one. Each session is approached with care for the full person — not just isolated muscles.

“Whether someone is aware of it or not, massage impacts the whole system. I do my best to honor the body as a connected whole — mind, body, and spirit.”

Note: Dedicated CranioSacral and CranioSacral/Reiki sessions will be offered soon.
