T-R PHOTO BY ROBERT MAHARRY Nourish Health Owner Rhonda Spellman is now running the business out of her home at 2560 Reed Ave. after nearly 10 years in Marshalltown, first on South Center Street and then on 13th Street.

For the last decade, Rhonda Spellman has run Nourish, her holistic wellness and pain relief clinic, out of two different locations in Marshalltown — one on South Center Street near Applebee’s and then on 13th Street until last August. As of this year, she has moved the operation to the basement of her home at 2560 Reed Ave. just south of town and embraced the next chapter in her ongoing journey.

As she dealt with the loss of 10 friends and family members over a three-month period between October and the end of 2025, Spellman began to welcome patients to the new location with most of the same services but none of her old roommates as the 13th Street storefront was shared with several other businesses.

“Two of them had moved on. One had outgrown me and got his own place, and another one moved back to Colorado. So it was time. I mean, it was really time, and it was a perfect move for Lillie Mae (Chocolates) to move out (to the old Nourish building). It was a perfect move for me because this is just perfect. I don’t really have to oversee everybody. It’s simple,” she said. “I have all these certifications and all these things, and I don’t need to oversee what everybody else is doing.”

She’s also gone from working five, six and even seven day weeks down to just Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and appointments can be scheduled online at https://nourishhealth.net/.

“It’s a lot more calm. It’s a lot more manageable,” Spellman said.

She still remembers the first time she visited the business under previous ownership back in 2016 and had a “profound experience” that eventually led to her coming onboard and buying it the following year. Her goal remains to help people no one else can help — testimonials spread along the walls vouch for that — and she offers a wide range of services including red light therapy, allergy antidotes, lipo lasers, cold laser therapy and brain tap, just to name a few.

“I’m an allergy antidote practitioner, and with that training and that certification, I can use energy frequencies to determine what is going on with somebody,” Spellman said. “And that’s the really weird stuff that sound waves and light waves can stabilize and eliminate. There’s very few things that I can’t help… Every once in a while there’s somebody that’s got something just so bizarre like a genetic thing that nothing is gonna help.”

These days, Spellman is as busy as she wants to be, and that’s OK with her. Nourish can be reached at (641) 752-9260.
