Founder, Chiropractor Ella Smith Ritual Health

  • Founder, Chiropractor
    BHSci., BApp.Sci. (Chiropractic)

    Ella began her own journey with Chiropractic at just 8 years old. Since then, she has always known she's wanted to help others discover its vast benefits.

    As a child, she had the privilege of seeing this approach help each member of her family in ways unique to each person. As an active child, regular adjustments were pivotal in keeping her performing well, and they offered a perspective on health and function that just made sense. She continued this active lifestyle into adulthood, qualifying as a personal trainer and Lagree Pilates instructor while completing her Chiropractic degrees.

    Fast forward to today: after spending 3 years practising abroad in the UK and having the privilege of caring for a vast number of patients, Ella is ready to care for the community in Black Rock and surrounds. She has a special interest in women's health, pregnancy, professional and corporate, sport, and paediatrics.

    Her motto is simple: Health shouldn’t have to mean hard. It's her life's mission to find ways to reverse the impact this modern world is having on our bodies, so her patients can live an active life that is truly loved.
