Industry veteran Kenneth Ryan has formed a new consultancy called Ryan Wellness Group
The global firm is underpinned by Ryan's 30 years' experience in spa, wellness and hospitality
He regularly contributes to Spa Business and is featured in the latest issue for his review of a refurbished Auberge spa in Mexico
Kenneth Ryan, a seasoned leader in luxury wellness, hospitality and experiential development, is launching Ryan Wellness Group, a consultancy firm built on three decades of industry expertise.

Ryan says he has formed the new venture with a view of going “beyond traditional spa consulting” and plans to use an approach that fuses science-backed longevity, elevated services and cutting-edge innovation to create and scale ultra-high-end wellness experiences in hospitality, private membership clubs and residential communities.

His extensive experience includes serving as vice president of global operations for spa, fitness and retail at Marriott International, where he oversaw more than 650 locations and generated annual revenues exceeding US$500 million (€462.6 million, £386.1 million).

Ryan has contributed regularly to Spa Business, sharing insights on trends, best practices and dedicated thought leadership. His latest article explores a luxury spa overhaul at an Auberge property in Mexico, delving into the results.
