A Space with Ryan
Ryan’s work begins with presence — the quiet kind that makes space for truth to emerge.
As a hospice chaplain and former pastor, he has spent decades sitting with people in the sacred ordinary: births, deaths, thresholds, and everything in between. His work isn’t about fixing or advising; it’s about listening so deeply that what’s unspoken can find its voice.
For more than twenty-five years, Ryan has walked alongside others through life’s biggest transitions — from congregations to hospital rooms, from grief to grace. His approach is rooted in contemplative wisdom, spiritual direction, and an unwavering belief in our shared humanity. Whether you’re wrestling with loss, longing, or the mystery of what’s next, Ryan helps you listen for the life still unfolding within you.
How We Might Work Together

Spiritual Mentorship
