about the therapist

I received my initial certification at the School of Shiatsu & Massage in 1999. Later, I graduated from the National Holistic Institute with a Massage Therapist & Health Educator Certificate. I currently work at a luxury resort in the city of Sonoma full-time and operate Massage Sonoma on my off hours, so I apologize in advance if availability is limited. I'm a long-time Sonoma County native, and enjoy spending time in nature and listening to live music in my free time. As a single father raising two young children, I greatly appreciate all the support I've gotten over the years from the community. A special thanks to the my regular clients who kept encouraging me to transition out of the Spa setting into starting my own private practice. I hope to some day have an established client base large enough to warrant the use of a private studio to accommodate my guests. Until then, I'll settle for being Sonoma's 1st choice for onsite therapeutic massage...  Please check out the rest of my recent 5-star reviews;  go google and search:  the Spa at the Lodge Sonoma "Ryan",  or click on the "google reviews" button on the listing, and scroll down. 

I invite you to become part of a growing list of happy clients that have made massage therapy a regular part of their lives. My goal is to help bring more balance and less stress into your life, by incorporating bodywork and self-care techniques into your monthly regimen. Scheduling regular appointments with a well-trained therapist who is familiar with your body's individual needs and issues greatly benefits you in the long-term and adds value to your massage session. Being able to maintain optimal health is much easier when you have a knowledgeable Massage Therapist that can help keep track of your progress and is able to provide you with measurable positive results...
