Testimonials

As a DEI leader for many years, I’ve taken a lot of bias trainings. This is the first workshop where I’ve ever been given a model to use and been given the chance to apply that during the workshop. Thank you for creating this material. ~A.B.

I found the sense of teamwork, accountability, and overall gentle communication very meaningful. I learned a lot and was given feedback that was beautifully empowering. I’ve often been scared to try new experiences like this. But with your support I learned how to be more accepting of myself. ~L.N.

Ryder has been a truly inspirational figure in my life and I’m so grateful for being guided through tough moments. It’s really rewarding to know that you’re molding a space where others don’t have to fight as hard to stay alive and feel respected. ~Q. G.

I started working with Ryder after suffering a couple of TIAs and a full stroke. Ryder worked with me to get my cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure to healthier numbers, re-strengthen my right side, and deal with excess body fat. ~P.G.
