FINDING HEALING, SHARING HOPE
After an unexpected turn in life, Kara Gillbanks-Holman’s path led her to launch Rife Frequency Bio Journey.
Kara’s fork in the road came after an angiogram revealed damage to her heart, caused by a heart attack she hadn’t realised she had suffered. With no medical options available and crippling inflammation in her legs and feet she could barely walk 50 metres without pain or exhaustion. “I was desperate for relief,” she recalls. “A friend suggested I try Rife Frequency therapy, and at that stage, I was open to anything.”
Kara gave it a chance – and what happened next changed her life. After a series of treatments, the inflammation subsided, she regained feeling in her feet, and movement became easier. Encouraged by these results, she travelled regularly to BioDetox in Mangawhai before deciding to invest in her own machine and training. “It helped me so much that I knew I had to help others on their own journey,” she says. From there, Rife Frequency Bio Journey was born – a small local business with a big heart, dedicated to supporting wellness in the community.
So what exactly is Rife Frequency therapy? It’s a non-invasive, drug-free approach that uses carefully selected electromagnetic frequencies to help the body restore balance. Every cell vibrates at a natural frequency, but when stressed or overloaded with toxins, these vibrations can become disrupted. Rife therapy works by “re- tuning” the body, supporting detoxification, circulation, and cell function. Many clients report improved energy, reduced inflammation, and a greater sense of wellbeing. Sessions are safe, painless, and deeply relaxing – like a cellular reset.
Rife Frequency Bio Journey also offers complementary treatments. Clients can experience an Ionic Foot Spa, which draws out toxins through the feet; a PEMF Mat, supporting circulation and healing; and a Frequency Coil Loop, delivering targeted frequencies for specific concerns. These therapies can be used individually or combined, creating what Kara describes as “a powerhouse for healing.” Benefits may include reduced pain, increased mobility, stronger immunity, and enhanced vitality.
What truly sets Kara’s practice apart is her holistic outlook. Alongside treatments, she often connects clients with other local practitioners – from naturopaths to Bowen therapists, walking groups to book clubs. “It’s about helping people find what works for them,” she says. “Everyone’s journey is different.”
What began as Kara’s personal search for healing has grown into a passion for sharing hope, and a reminder that even in life’s hardest moments, new paths can emerge.
