Mother & Daughter

My journey with my amazing daughter started in Alice Springs where I conceived this amazing life force on a camel walk on the edge of the Simpson desert. Once she was born I realized my daughters health and well being was the the most important thing to me. I pondered main stream medicine, and although i believed it absolutely had a place in society it wasn’t gong to be my go to for ongoing health and wellness for my daughter.

I started to investigated how I could provide optimum health for my child. In Alice Springs there wasn’t a choice to study natural medicine so we looked at traveling somewhere where we could. And so my health journey took me to Western Australia. I enrolled in the very first Natural medicine Collage that had just opened up. And I started my studies in Natropathy, and soon realized that massage, touching the tissue in a healing knowledgeable way was my thing.

From wanting to support optimum health for my child, I had now found a new career path. My awesome daughter was growing up and we were cultivating a healthy lifestyle in Fremantle. One that included continual learning and upskilling for me. And also very much being part of a thriving health minded community.

When Rebekah was 16 years old she decided she would like to try her “hands” at massage. I remember her saying- I don’t want to do any of that deep tissue stuff though, just relaxation! And as it turned out Bec became a superstar deep tissue therapist. I was feeling so full inside, to have a life that included working with my daughter. Bec was now part of the business.

We had a some stellar years together working in the biz. Bec got to stage of wanting to travel, and took her massage table and herself off to London for 5 fabulous years. I pined and missed her of course. And then just moved forward adding to my terrific team and expended to a new amazing premise on South terrace. A place finally that had space for a school and a large training room. Also space for other health and wellness practitioners to operate their complimentary health businesses from.

Rebekah finally returned to Australia with a new focus and passion. She had realized she want to offer more to her clients in a different way. This was when Bec started her studies at Murdoch university and after completing a double degree became Dr Rebekah Riches- Chiropractor extraordinaire.

And so it feels like a home coming in some ways. Bec is now operating her thriving chiropractic business from the Bodyriches Wellness center.

Bodyriches Chiropractic is born.

We get to work again together, sort of- separate businesses in the same center, complimenting each others health focus, supporting our clients across the board on all levels. And sharing knowledge, supporting each other in our wellness journey.

We teach and facilitate some amazing Women’s Wellness Workshops together, and have developed an amazing Greek Island wellness Blue zone retreat.

Life is full. And I am so very thankful for all that I do have.
