The therapist
Ryan Holbert is a licensed massage therapist and bodyworker with a deep passion for helping others feel better in their bodies because he knows firsthand what it means to rebuild from the ground up.
With over a decade of experience in massage and bodywork, Ryan draws from a diverse background that blends clinical knowledge with intuitive touch. His approach is deeply informed by both science and personal transformation. Years ago, Ryan faced a life-altering diagnosis: a brain tumor that left him relearning how to walk, move, and reconnect with his own body. That journey, filled with physical therapy, resilience, and self-discovery, reshaped not only his life but also his philosophy as a healer.
Ryan specializes in therapeutic massage, neuromuscular techniques, and advanced bodywork for pain relief, injury recovery, and performance optimization. He’s particularly skilled at working with athletes, chronic pain clients, and those navigating post-surgical or neurological recovery.
Clients often say Ryan brings a rare combination of strength, sensitivity, and presence to the table - someone who truly listens to the body and meets it where it is. Whether you’re in need of deep restorative work or focused therapeutic care, Ryan’s work is rooted in empathy, precision, and purpose.
