Ryan Dorko, a certified Clinical EFT practitioner and the founder of Mystic Balance, is a devoted father to four children. For over three decades, he has channeled his love for music and nature into soulful expressions, from motorcycle adventures across the country to moonlit drum circles. He is a man whose life journey symbolizes resilience, transformation, and the pursuit of true happiness. Ryan's personal journey has been characterized by significant challenges—dealing with the pain of divorce, battling chronic illness, and overcoming addiction. Through these struggles, he found comfort in holistic healing practices such as meditation, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and shamanic healing. His experiences led him to create Mystic Balance, a sanctuary designed to help others break free from emotional limitations and find true healing. Having spent much of his career climbing the corporate ladder, Ryan eventually realized that success, wealth, and accolades were not enough to bring him true contentment. His experience in business management, sales, and mergers and acquisitions now allows him to help others avoid burnout, elevate their careers, and create more harmony within their teams. During his healing journey, Ryan noticed himself clinging to events and beliefs that unwillingly held him in a victim mindset. Even after clearing old trauma, finding forgiveness for himself and others, and true acceptance of people, places, and things outside his control, there still seemed to be a subtle underlying part of him that held onto the painful parts of life. In his book “The Subtle Victim,” Ryan explores these unconscious habits and mindsets that can keep us stuck in victimhood, even after overcoming trauma. Inspired by his own realization that being bound to this mentality was a habit he no longer desired, he wrote this book to offer practical tools and insights to help readers break free from these hidden patterns and live a life of emotional freedom, joy, and inner peace. Ryan's philosophy of mutual healing in relationships and his compassionate approach to personal growth make him an inspiration for those seeking to deal with life's challenges with fortitude and authenticity. Today, through Mystic Balance, he shares his wisdom and healing practices, inspiring others to discover their own path to lasting peace and fulfillment.
