'Sensuality, Cycles & Organs: Creative Ways to Get In Touch' - Ryan Simmons
After many years of working within the confines of the broken medical system, Ryan started her independent Physical Therapy practice. In doing so, she was free to distance herself from the conventional, allopathic medical model and treat patients in the way that came naturally, with more integrative and holistic techniques. With the principles of Functional Medicine as her foundation, she uses her further education in Women’s Health, Nutrition, and Medical Therapeutic Yoga to help women, through all decades of life, navigate their ever-evolving health needs. Ryan is founder of The Well Woman Way, which she developed to offer a responsible alternative to care, based on science, service, and trust in a woman’s ability to heal. Ryan earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Southern California. She has 10+ years of orthopedic patient care experience and extensive additional training in integrative healthcare modalities including internal pelvic assessment and treatment, postpartum care, visceral mobilization, nutrition and gut healing protocols, medical therapeutic yoga, meditation, somatics, breath work, vaginal steaming and sexual health. In her early years, Ryan had an independent clinical massage therapy practice and hands-on techniques are still a large part of her treatment programs. Ryan is an empath who is described by others as a bold, multidimensional, free spirit. Together, with her husband and 2 children, she travels between the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest and those of Nayarit, Mexico delivering high quality functional medicine. She cherishes the awe-inspiring natural beauty of these two disparate locations and feels an overwhelming sense of gratitude to be able to move between them, nurturing creative flow and fresh perspective in her practice.
