Soul Strength is hosted by Dr. Ryann Donaldson
Dr. Ryann Donaldson practiced as an optometrist in the Houston area for over 20 years before retiring. During a serious health crisis, he was introduced to two metaphysical books that sparked his deep interest in the Edgar Cayce readings. This path drew him deeply into the study of natural healing, culminating in him earning his herbalist degree in 2013 and the profound realization that true healing arises from a living relationship with the Divine. Today, he and his wife enjoy a holistic lifestyle that includes yoga, biking, and other wellness pursuits. A lifetime member of the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.), Dr. Donaldson actively participates in multiple A.R.E. prayer and study groups and is a graduate of the A.R.E. speaker training program.
