Meet Ryan

RYAN GALLEN guides clients in transforming the exhausting chase of perfection into a relaxing space of self-acceptance and ease. He has a knack for seeing and welcoming the human hidden by the frantic pursuit of safety and perfection. Ryan gets it - your pressures, unrealistic standards, and silent battles with other people’s rules and expectations. You're not just another client; you're a fellow traveler on a shared journey to embrace the imperfections that make you beautifully, authentically you.
“Why couldn’t this be easy?” - that’s Ryan’s sense of a life worth living, and he grounds his coaching here.
