"As a U.S. resident, I was concerned about losing value from not seeing a coach in person. From the first FaceTime session, I realized how wrong I was. Ricky is one of the most empathetic and genuinely caring individuals I've ever "met", period."

Since 2002, Ricky has dedicated his life to coaching, therapy and training, helping to positively shape the lives of thousands of people from all over the world. His professional life is richly diverse. Much of that experience is testament to his willingness to use his skills in challenging environments. As such, he has been equally instrumental in rehabilitation centres, the boardroom, the family home and the arena of professional sport.
