BIO
Hi there! I’m Ryan. I welcome you to Find Your Breath, with me, today.
My journey into health and wellness began at the age of 19 when I became a certified Personal Trainer. During my sophomore year of college, my roommate and I launched a small training business right out of our dorm room. Our mission was simple but powerful: To impact and improve the physical and mental well-being of my clients, friends, and family. Helping others feel stronger—both physically and mentally—was my passion from the start.
After about a decade in the fitness industry, I shifted gears and became a Physician Assistant, specializing in Orthopedic Surgery. Though my career path had evolved, my core mission remained the same. Now, I was expanding my reach beyond clients to include patients as well. But as time went on, working in a high-volume orthopedic practice took its toll. Like many healthcare professionals, I found myself facing burnout. Eventually, I was prescribed antidepressants and benzodiazepines—an all-too-common scenario in modern medicine. That was my wake-up call. Something needed to change.
Over the past three years, I’ve dedicated myself to the practice of breathwork as a tool for managing stress, anxiety, and insomnia—the very challenges that had built up over years in my career. At first, I didn’t fully understand why it was working, but I could feel the shift. It wasn’t until I took a deeper dive into the science of breathwork that everything clicked.
I realized that breath is the key to modulating the nervous system—specifically, the autonomic nervous system, which I had been taught was beyond our conscious control. But ancient traditions had known this for thousands of years. Tibetan monks, Hindu yogis, and countless other cultures have long used breath as a gateway to healing and self-regulation. Science is only now catching up to what these traditions have understood all along.
Breath is the foundation of holistic wellness. It has the power to calm the mind, regulate the body, and unlock deep inner healing. My mission now is to help others discover this profound tool for themselves.
I invite you to explore the transformative power of breathwork and experience its benefits firsthand. Watch the video below for a deeper dive into this ancient yet cutting-edge practice.
