Our Founders
Niki McGuinness
Niki’s passion has always been to help people. Her first career was as Registered Nurse and she took pride in making sure each person’s sickness experience was one of nurturing and loving care. Being vulnerable in illness is a difficult time.
Over the years, Niki specialised in Critical Care Nursing and after 20 years in the field, she wanted to stop taking care of people at the end of their life cycle and move into the prevention of illness, way back before disease presents itself. This bought her to Chiropractic and the natural and innate caring of the body and mind. Niki has worked in Chiropractic for over 10 years and has opened and run two practices in that time.
Over the years as a Chiropractor, Niki saw a pattern of women coming into her practice who were chronically stressed, tired who couldn’t find the ability to put themselves first, especially those with children. This is often linked to the development of chronic pain syndromes, hormone imbalances and an array of digestive presentations.
“I often felt helpless that my skills could only hone into the mechanical aspects of their care.”This triggered a learning journey into health and wellness coaching, supplemental nutrition and developing a communication style that inspired women to always try and put themselves first in order to take care of others. This started the concept of Bodycode Integrative Wellbeing, and as the concept has grown.
“I am so proud of what Ashley and I have created and I can’t wait to show the world how we can change the lives of others and the health of our children, our future adults”
Ashley Forsyth
The biggest influence in Ashley’s life came from her mother who was a trailblazer in the areas of health and nutrition. When Ashley was young, she did not acknowledge her mother’s gift by appreciating the importance of eating healthy foods. In fact, she discounted it completely. As Ashley grew older, she realized what a HUGE impact nutrition had on her overall health and wellbeing. It dramatically affected the way she functioned; her mental clarity, energy level, hormones, fitness and of course the way that she looked and felt about herself.
In Ashley’s early 20’s she discovered her love of fitness and even became an exercise instructor. Movement and fitness are still some of her greatest joys in life!
As her love for fitness grew, so did her desire to learn all she could about nutrition. Ashley even developed her own nutrition bars which rapidly grew into a highly successful sports nutrition company here in Australia.
When Ashley’s daughter was born, she raised the bar even higher. “I am extremely passionate about raising healthy, well-balanced children; nutritionally, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically. My daughter continues to be my greatest inspiration!”
Ashley’s love of learning alternative health-related modalities such as naturopathy, homeopathy, emotional intelligence, the power of the mind, exercise, food as medicine and the list goes on…. has culminated in the co-creation of Bodycode Integrative Wellbeing Centre.
“I feel so blessed, honoured and thrilled to align with a partner like Niki and team of professionals who are all whole-heartedly dedicated to sharing their knowledge, skills and passion with our clients, both adults and children in order to help them create a way of BEING and feeling…. in the way that they have always imagined!”
