Rhibuild Bodywork

Pilates has changed my life, I have so much more stability and mobility, I can run and my knees and hips don't hurt. I have tone, I have strength in areas I've never had strength. I am a self confessed pilates princess, and because of this I can be a better Remedial Massage Therapist, a better trainer, a better mum and a better wife. I can lift my 12kg boy and it feels weightless, I can do things I never thought possible and I believe it's the missing key for a lot of people!

My pilates instructors believe this as much as I do, and that brings me to the reason for this plug. Men, this one is for you.

I know it's got a reputation as being a "girls thing" but I reckon that's about to change. More and more male athletes and trainers are catching on to what pilates does for strength and performance, and as a Remedial Massage Therapist and trainer myself, I see it constantly, the guys who struggle most with tight hip flexors, backs that seize up, glutes that won't fire and stability or mobility issues are exactly the ones who'd benefit most from this. It's not about being bendy, it's about building real strength from the inside out, the kind that actually holds up when you're lifting weights, playing sport or just trying to get through your day without your back locking up.

Think about it like this, all that time you spend in the gym chasing strength and size, pilates is what makes sure your body can actually use it properly. It fixes the imbalances, it wakes up the muscles that aren't pulling their weight, and it takes the load off your joints so you can keep training harder for longer. It's the missing piece that takes your gym results to a whole other level.

There are only a few slots left so don't delay, book it today. I guarantee it will change your life and take your training to a whole other level!

This is a re-share by
-Keysha Stewart License Massage Therapist
15 years | Missouri
Co-Owner K&A Massage Therapy but it resonates so hard with where I've come from till now.

Massage therapy ain’t soft.

It’s not spa music and lavender dreams.
It’s not some “cute little job” where we rub lotion and float through the day.
It’s blood.
It’s sweat.
It’s silence so loud it rattles your teeth.

Nine hours in a dark ass room, hunched over a table, grinding through your own pain just so someone else can finally breathe again.

We do it with backs that spasm mid session.
With wrists held together by KT tape and sheer willpower.
With sleep deprived brains and coffee on an empty stomach.

Same damn playlist.
Same deep breath before the next body walks in.
Client after client
trauma we didn’t ask for but end up carrying anyway.
Because it doesn’t just stay on the table.
It follows us home.
Crawls into our joints.
Sits heavy in our chest.

We came from the franchises.
Yeah…those places.
Where you’re nothing but a name in a time slot.
Booked back to back like cattle.
No time to stretch. No time to eat. No time to breathe.
“Upsell.”
“Smile more.”
“Be thankful,”
“Do more deep work”
Because hey at least you’re doing what you “love,” right?

Crying in your car on your lunch break?
Yeah, been there.
Not because the work was too hard
but because the paycheck didn’t even cover the bills.
Because you just did five back-to-back deep tissues
for less than what they charge for one.
Because your body’s wrecked, your soul’s wrung out,
and you’re still choosing between gas or groceries.

And they had the nerve to call it a “gifted career.”
Nah.
That s**t was exploitation in a polo shirt.

No benefits.
No sick days.
No safety net.
Sick? Show up.
Injured? Work around it.
Burnt out? Doesn’t matter. There’s another body waiting.

You couldn’t be tired.
You couldn’t say no due to needing to pay bills
You couldn’t be human.

Because in that system, you’re not a healer.
You’re a machine.
A number.
A revenue stream.

So we left.

We walked out
middle fingers up
and built something that didn’t kill us from the inside out.

But the grind?
It didn’t disappear.
It just changed outfits.

Now we’re everything.
Front desk.
Janitor.
Therapist.
Marketing team.
Bookkeeper.
Therapy. Payroll. Taxes. Laundry. DMs.

All while praying the rent clears, the table holds up, and the body doesn’t give out.

We carry every last minute cancel.
Every ghosted appointment.
Every “must be nice to make your own hours” from someone who’s never worked 10 hours straight without sitting down.

No PTO.
No HR.
No backup plan.
Just you and a body you’re begging not to fall apart.

Freedom?
Yeah, we fought for it.
But don’t kid yourself
freedom hurts.
Freedom bleeds.

And still… we show up.

Because here’s the truth:
We do love this work.
With everything we’ve got.
We love the stillness.
The stories we feel through skin.
The way someone walks out lighter than they came in.
We love the power of safe touch in a world that takes too much.
We love being the quiet in someone’s chaos.
The exhale they didn’t know they were holding.

And in this loud, numb, over-medicated, touch-starved, burned-out, anxiety-fueled world?

This work isn’t extra.
It’s essential.

People need us.
Not just to relax.
To heal.
To release.
To come back to their damn selves.

We’re not asking for applause.
We don’t need a stage.
But don’t you dare call this easy.
Don’t you dare call it indulgent.

Because what we do?

It saves people.
Quietly.
Fiercely.
Every damn day.

So no massage therapy ain’t soft.
It’s savage.
It’s soul deep.
It’s strength with cracked knuckles, locked jaws, and blood under the fingernails.

And the day we stop showing up?

Everyone. Will. Feel. It.

-I wouldn't have it any other way though I value every single one of my clients you've all shaped me into the RMT I have become and I will continue showing up for you 🤍🤍

If anyone wants massages this Monday let me know.

Peace and Love,
-Rhibuild Bodywork

Rhibuild Bodywork is Back!
I’m excited to announce that I’m back from maternity leave, and bookings are now open! I’ve truly missed massaging you all and feel fully refreshed, ready to get back to doing what I love.

💆 Massage Prices Update – Due to rising costs of materials and expenses, there has been a small price adjustment. Massages will now be:

$100 for 1 hour
$150 for 1.5 hours
After-hours (5 PM onwards) & weekend appointments: $110 per hour (available until footy season starts!)

👶 Balancing Work & Motherhood – My husband is busy working on the farm, so during the day, I’m mostly single parenting. This means my little one will always be my priority, and I may need to attend to him at times. Rest assured, you will still receive your full massage time. I truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this transition.

✨ Upgraded Massage Room! – My husband and I have made some improvements to the space, and I can’t wait to hear what you think of the new setup!

Thank you all so much for your ongoing support—it means the world to me. I can’t wait to see you soon!

Bookings are now open!

Peace & love,
💙 Rhibuild Bodywork

Please join me at Valley Groove for a unique experience before we welcome our baby boy into the world! I will be offering massages for $20 for 15 minutes, with the option to extend if needed.

This year, due to being in my third trimester, I will be there for a half day. I am thrilled to be joined by my talented friend (Mandie) from The Bodywork Practice a skilled Remedial Massage Therapist from Perth. You can find us at our usual camping spot, with clear signage to guide you.

I am grateful to Sweet Orange Productions and Nukara Farm for this wonderful opportunity.

Hello everyone,

I would like to inform you that my husband Mark and I are expecting our baby in October (For all of those people that don't already know). Due to this joyous event, I have made the decision to close my books and will no longer be taking on new clients until early 2025.

However, any clients with vouchers that have yet to be used will still be honoured.

I will also be significantly reducing my working hours to prepare for this significant change in our lives, as we are now in the third trimester.

I appreciate your continued love and support during this exciting time.

Love and Peace
