Meet Ryan Ann
Hi! I’m so happy you’re here. I’m the founder of Natura Bodywork Collective and I’ve been a professional licensed massage therapist since 2013. I went to The Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy in Colorado Springs. I received an extensive certification in Neuromuscular Therapy. After graduating that program, I worked for a Neuromuscular Therapy specific office and learned all I could over a span of several years. I then continued my love for education and dove deep into several forms of myofascial release, including barefoot massage (Ashiatsu).
I fell hard for Ashiatsu for its fascial engagement capabilities. I practiced for six years, leading me to create what is now our In Motion Mat session. With my constant need to learn more, I became certified in instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, and myofascial cupping.
I love all things movement and gait patterns which encouraged me to be a Certified Personal Trainer as well to get a better understanding of how the body moves. I’ve completed my Corrective Exercise Specialist certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, Dr. Sarah Duvall’s Pregnancy & Postpartum CES, and most recently her Pelvis Pro certification. All of which have lead me to a deeper understanding of optimal function.
In the last year, I’ve found RAPID NeuroFascial Reset and have started my journey into this effective modality. I’m really excited to add these skills into my practice and provide the best care for my clients who are looking for quick results.
When I’m not doing what I love at Natura, I’m most certainly outside doing something with my family and two huskies. Hiking, biking, kayaking, horseback riding, it’s our self care. I’m also constantly working at my own mobility and how I can better my overall function. I’m a big believer in practicing what I preach to my clients.
