About
I'm Ryan, owner of Good Vibes Remedial Massage.
Born and bred in Port Stephens, driven by a lifelong passion for health, fitness and helping people move better.
My story
From the sporting field to the treatment table.
I'm Ryan McDonald, a Port Stephens local who has played competitive sport most of my life. For years I was just another statistic, stuck in a job I wasn't passionate about, chasing revenue to support my young family.
After years of feeling unfulfilled, I made the call to follow my passion and pursue a career in healthcare. Three years of study later, I qualified with my Diploma of Remedial Massage and opened Good Vibes Remedial Massage in Salamander Bay in 2019.
The clinic is built on one principle, delivering high-quality healthcare to our community, grounded in knowledge, education and a genuine love for the craft.
