Methodologies and Approach

My work is grounded in the body and connected to the soul, facilitating a holistic experience that integrates physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of human growth. I employ a diverse yet complementary set of frameworks:

• Enneagram personality system
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) for working with sub-personalities/ parts
• Integral theory and spiral dynamics
• Family Constellations for addressing intergenerational patterns
• Tiny Habits for building lasting change

By integrating these modalities, I create a tailored approach that addresses each client’s unique needs. For instance, I might use the Enneagram to identify core motivations, IFS to resolve internal conflicts, and Tiny Habits to implement sustainable changes.

Coaching Philosophy

I believe in creating a safe environment for exploration, learning, and transformation. My approach facilitates lasting change by addressing the whole person, not just surface-level behaviours. I help clients identify and transform limiting patterns while building practical strategies for meaningful growth.

As one client shared, “Ryan’s sharing of the Enneagram had such a profound impact on the way I understand and relate to people, and has really helped me live more compassionately in the world. I really grasped, in a very concrete way, how completely differently other people see and experience the world and their place within it. And it’s enabled me to really let go of my expectations of how interactions should go.” Isabel
