Ryn Gargulinski (aka Rynski) is an award-winning writer, speaker, artist, dog lover, Reiki master, consultant and certified professional coach who once traded her artwork on the streets of New York City just to eat and get her daily beer. She has since given up drinking and now has enough money to eat—even organic! She has also expanded her art into a successful enterprise, her writing into a thriving business, and her consulting, coaching, Reiki and speaking into a growing practice that has already helped many realize and expand into their true potential. She has 10 published books, two dogs, several writing and presentation awards, an online Etsy art shop and more than 23 years in recovery from alcohol. Her life purpose is to use her creativity, experience and humor to inspire others to live lives filled with freedom and joy. And yes, that includes bringing freedom and joy to dogs.
