She has been working at the Hendrickson Clinic since late 2007 and has a private practice in Oakland’s Dimond District.

Ryn loves doing bodywork as it has been deeply effective in her own life since 1984, and she is grateful to now be able to offer it to others. Ryn says, “It brings me pleasure and purpose to contribute to the health of those I touch and offer relief from pain.” She began practicing bodywork for fun, health, and connection as an avocation in 1986 practicing first Polarity Therapy combined with Lomi Deep Tissue work, and then studying 3 years of Rosen Method bodywork and movement. She's been training and studying with Dr. Hendrickson since 2006 practicing his incredible and highly effective Orthopedic Massage and Manual Therapy. She first came across his work in 1993 when she had her own soft tissue injury in her upper body and found great relief. She's also completed over 1000 hours of study in Traditional Asian Medicine and Acupressure does continuing education coursework in both modalities, in addition to maintaining active Qi Gong and meditation practices.
