A Life of Purpose, Service, and Healing: Meet Dr. Richelle Knowles

Published on May 20, 2025

At the heart of Network Wellness Center in Boulder, Colorado, are two visionary chiropractors: Dr. Richelle Knowles and her husband, Dr. Daniel Knowles. Widely recognized as the leading-edge experts in NetworkSpinal chiropractic care, the Knowleses are transforming lives every day—locally and around the world.

As co-founders of Lifetime Wellness Practice, they also mentor chiropractors globally, teaching the advanced techniques and systems behind their thriving practice. Their dedication to excellence and leadership in the field was recently honored when both were named Chiropractors of the Year by Sherman College of Chiropractic, their alma mater.

What Is NetworkSpinal—and What Drew You to It?

NetworkSpinal is a unique, cutting-edge form of chiropractic care that uses gentle touches along the spine to help the nervous system reorganize and heal from within. It supports greater adaptability, less stress, and more ease in the body and mind.

Dr. Richelle shares:

“I was called to this work through a deep desire to help people. Early on, I saw how disconnected and stressed so many lives had become, and I knew I wanted to be part of the solution. Chiropractic, especially the gentle and powerful work of NetworkSpinal, resonated with me because it addresses the root of that disconnection.”

That calling eventually grew into a greater mission—mentoring other chiropractors and creating a ripple effect of healing in communities across the globe.

Business Advice for a Heart-Centered Practice

When asked about the best business advice she received early on, Dr. Richelle is quick to answer:

“Focus on serving. That mindset laid the foundation for everything we’ve built. When you genuinely care about helping others—your clients, your team, your community—growth follows naturally.”

This simple but powerful perspective has guided Network Wellness Center’s evolution into a hub of healing and transformation.

Resources for New Wellness Entrepreneurs

If you’re starting your own journey in chiropractic or wellness entrepreneurship, Dr. Richelle recommends three essentials:

Find a mentor and community – Learn from those who’ve been where you want to go.
Invest in personal development – Resources like Start With Why by Simon Sinek and Let Them by Mel Robbins are incredibly valuable. So is the work of Tony Robbins.
Prioritize your own wellness – “Taking care of yourself allows you to better serve others.”

And always, she emphasizes, surround yourself with people who remind you of your why—especially when challenges arise.

Top 3 Things to Consider Before Starting a Business

According to Dr. Richelle, these are the key elements to consider before launching a wellness business:

Your “Why” – Passion and purpose are your fuel.
Who You Serve – Know your ideal client and build real relationships.
Support Systems – You don’t have to (and shouldn’t) do it alone.

These foundations help create not only a successful business, but a sustainable and fulfilling one.

A Motto to Live By

One of Dr. Richelle’s guiding life mottos is:

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storms to pass—it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

For her, that means choosing joy, standing in faith, and practicing gratitude—no matter the circumstances.

Life Outside the Office

After a full day of serving others, what brings Dr. Richelle joy?

“My favorite thing to come home to is the peace that only home can bring—whether it’s sitting on the porch, hiking with our mini Goldendoodle Maple, gardening, or talking with family. It’s in those simple, present moments that I recharge.”

It’s clear that for Dr. Richelle Knowles, chiropractic is more than a profession—it’s a calling. Through her work at Network Wellness Center and Lifetime Wellness Practice, she continues to inspire healing, connection, and transformation for individuals and practitioners alike.
