I'm Ryan Penny, a healthcare practitioner and educator with more than 25 years of clinical experience in complementary medicine, therapeutic lifestyle change, and behavioral coaching. I believe that perspective is everything, which is why my approach to my patients, my own life, and all my courses are built around keeping it REAL, keeping it SIMPLE, keeping it THOUGHTFUL, and keeping it GOING. These are at the heart of what it means to "LIVE NOW, WELL!" and are the keys to a better lifestyle. My current courses, which focus on rebuilding relationships, enhancing communication skills, calming a busy mind, and finding the freedom to move on when feeling stuck, are all available in the video course section below.

How to Rescue and Repair Your Relationship
Better Together is a practical, step-by-step course that helps you shift how you show up in relationships, so you can build stronger, more connected, and more caring partnerships over time. It’s for anyone ready to move past old patterns, improve communication, and create relationships rooted in kindness, clarity, and mutual respect. If you’re looking for real tools that lead to lasting change, this is a great place to start.
Develop Great Communication Skills, Fast!
In this course, I’m going to teach you five simple but powerful communication practices. These are things anyone can learn, and when you start using them, they really do make a difference in how your conversations go. The goal is to help you have better conversations, whether that’s with your partner, your kids, your friends, your colleagues, or even those challenging situations where there’s tension or disagreement
Finding the Release Switch when Feeling Stuck!
Life often presents challenges that leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed. In this course, I guide you through understanding why acceptance is crucial for releasing the grip of these struggles. You'll learn practical steps to achieve genuine acceptance, enabling you to move forward with greater freedom and clarity. This journey can lead to transformative changes, helping you navigate life's difficulties with resilience and peace.
I came to Ryan to work on my anger specifically, how I reacted by shouting and losing control. I expected to learn some techniques to manage it, but what I found was much more powerful. In our very first session, something clicked. Ryan helped me understand not just how I was reacting, but why. More importantly, he guided me to a deeper insight: that my reactions are fully my responsibility.
Once I stopped blaming others and accepted that I have the power to choose how I respond, everything shifted. It was like flipping a switch. That realization alone helped me let go of patterns I’d carried for years. Weeks later, I still feel the emotion but I no longer project it in harmful ways. I feel calmer, clearer, and in control for the first time in a long time.
