Helping You Grow into the Best Version of Yourself

My approach starts with the belief that YOU are the expert on your life - you already have the answers within you. With my support, you will uncover insights, build self-awareness, and unlock new ways to move forward with confidence and clarity.

If something in your life or leadership feels off, or you are craving change but feel stuck, I can help you uncover fresh insights and new possibilities. I offer virtual or in-person coaching sessions that focus on your personal or professional challenges, rooted in the Core Values of the International Coaching Federation: professionalism, collaboration, humanity, and equity.

Equus Coaching is a three-way partnership for self-discovery and personal growth. With thoughtful questions from your coach and real-time, honest feedback from the horse, you will build deeper self-awareness and learn to live or lead from a more authentic place. I am presently an Equus-Coach-In-Training through the Center for Equus Coaching and offering discounted rates on Equus Coaching.

If your team needs a boost or a project could use some direction, I can help facilitate progress. With years of experience guiding complex projects and workshops, I can engage your team or stakeholders to move you forward. I am a certified SynergyStack® Facilitator and can bring this and other creative methods to improve team dynamics.
I offer a range of packages for a deeper commitment to work together over time or to integrate traditional coaching with Equus Coaching.
In-person sessions and Equus Coaching are available for clients in southcentral Pennsylvania and northern Maryland.

"My session with Ryan and Bear (the horse I had the pleasure of working with) was an incredibly intriguing experience. I didn’t know much of anything about horses before the session, but learning a little bit about their behaviors and their reactions to humans has provided such an interesting and useful perspective on how I’m approaching challenges in my life. I’m very grateful for this memorable and meaningful opportunity to gain insights via feedback from a unique and insightful vantage point."
"Ryan has a passion for helping others to grow and was open to using his talents to help our non-profit pursue team-building strengths-based training for our staff after some organizational hierarchical changes. Using his extensive knowledge base, he was able to craft a staff development session that was tailored to our specific industry and staff dynamics. His interactive training was engaging and helped each team member to understand their natural talents and develop individual action plans to apply these strengths in their daily work supporting adults with special needs. It was wonderful to see staff members communicating and collaborating with each other and building our team cohesion through a renewed shared purpose and connection to our mission and the individuals we serve. Ryan’s strategic and innovative thinking and his professionalism and organizational skills made working with him toward this goal a very positive experience."
My background is in conservation and natural resources. I have spent 25 years guiding and collaborating with teams and partners across the private, public, and nonprofit sectors to protect and improve our planet. I have a consulting firm that builds and adds capacity within the conservation community - Grow Conservation LLC.
Volunteerism guided me down this coaching path. I was helping lead therapeutic horseback riding lessons for children with special needs, and the power of horses to help people started to become readily apparent to me. I enrolled to become an Equus Coach® and dedicate myself to helping others in the way that I have been helped. I am presently an Equus-Coach-In-Training through the Center for Equus Coaching, a program with Level 2 accreditation by the International Coaching Federation.
My conservation career has given me the privilege of leaving one type of legacy already - a legacy of lands protected forever for others to enjoy. I now seek a second type of legacy in the lives I can touch and the people I can help along this path that we share.
