From stuck to flow.

Let's connect

I've spent the last 8 years learning by doing — consulting for global brands, building my own startup, working in venture, and leading wellness retreats on the side because my curiosity has never been contained to one lane.

I think through a visionary lens with an operator's instincts. I see what people miss. I connect dots across a business that aren't obvious from the inside. And I'm at my best at the beginning of things — when the idea is still becoming real and every decision matters.

My point of view is multifaceted by design. And there's nothing I love more than the moment something just... comes together.

That's what I'm excited to help you build.

How we can work together

What this can look like:

  • Space to think out loud, pressure-test ideas, and work through what's keeping you up at night
  • Strategy and mindset in the same conversation — because they're deeply connected when you're building
  • Topics range from hiring and positioning to ideation, the emotional weight of building, and everything in between
  • Available as a one-time office hour or ongoing monthly support

What this can look like:

Discovery

  • Honest audit of where you are across the full business — gaps, blocks, and untapped opportunities
  • Competitive landscape review to sharpen positioning and identify white space
  • Customer clarity work to define exactly who you're for, who you're not, and how to reach them
  • Pricing and packaging review to ensure your offer is structured for growth

Strategy

  • Marketing channel strategy to identify where to focus and where to stop
  • Content strategy to build awareness, trust, and organic reach
  • Partnership, event, and community activation opportunities to expand reach and deepen loyalty
  • Retention and engagement strategy to keep the customers you work hard to acquire
  • Data and reporting framework so you always know what's working

Presence

  • Founder personal brand development across platforms, content pillars, and systems
  • Product and UX review with prioritized recommendations and a clear roadmap
  • Lifecycle email assessment covering segmentation, strategy, and what to fix first
  • Website and SEO recommendations tied to conversion, not just traffic

What this can look like:

  • Discovery session to understand your vision, traction, and what makes you win
  • Slide-by-slide review with recorded feedback on narrative, positioning, and flow
  • Storytelling guidance to sharpen the arc and make investors lean in
  • Strategy session on fundraising approach and pitch delivery as a handoff
  • Note: requires a deck draft at minimum — we're refining and elevating, not starting from scratch

What this can look like:

  • Discovery to uncover where time is being spent, what's repeatable today, and what can be reimagined with AI to enable scale (you don't need to know AI — you need to know your business; we translate operations into automation opportunities)
  • Post-discovery: proposal of workflows or agents tailored to the needs and goals of your business
  • Build-out and delivery of workflows and agents
  • Note: timeline and investment vary based on scope. This work is co-led with a specialist partner who handles the AI development

What clients say

“Working with Ryan was honestly such a grounding force during a really important phase of building Retreat. She has this ability to zoom out and see the bigger picture, while also being incredibly on it when it comes to execution. What I appreciated most was how much ownership she took—she didn't just give input, she actually moved things forward in a meaningful way. It made a huge difference. I trusted her with key parts of the business, and that trust was very well placed. I'm really grateful for the time we worked together and would absolutely recommend her to any founder or team.”

“Ryan brings a rare combination of intuitive understanding and sharp business acumen to the wellness space. What sets her apart is her ability to translate lived, anecdotal experience into grounded, strategic guidance that actually works in the real world. She supported me with pricing and competitive market analysis, and the level of clarity she provided was incredibly valuable. Her insights are not only thoughtful, but actionable, rooted in both data and a deep understanding of the industry. If you are looking for someone who can bridge the gap between wellness and business with precision, Ryan is an exceptional resource.”
