Every great sauna experience starts with great people — meet Ryan.
Ryan is an only child who somehow ended up with the big, loud, warm family he always dreamed of (he swears he would’ve had 10 kids if they weren’t so expensive 😅). First came Miles, followed shortly by Max — and along the way they lived in Edmonton and Saskatoon, where Isla was born under the Aurora Borealis.
Ryan has worked and travelled through the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, picked up a bit of Arabic, and developed a deep respect for culture, nature, and the ways people connect across differences. Losing his father too early shaped how he sees time, presence, and what really matters.
He’s a BBQ fanatic, loves lifting heavy things, and is always up for getting outdoors. He’s got a serious sweet tooth, and is endlessly fascinated by mushrooms, animals, and the vastness of the universe — believing nature keeps us humble and grounded. Originally from Victoria, he loves to explore new places, but the Cowichan Valley is where he feels most at home.
