THE LONG VERSION:

Between women's health, massage, and reiki in the earlier days, and now colon hydrotherapy and food allergy testing since 2001, I've been practicing alternative health care in one form or another since 1989. In 1999 I learned about cleansing and the raw foods lifestyle, and I've been striving to live that way ever since. Because I had my own health issues, and battles with several addictions and disorders, and still managed to forge my way forward on this path (which is not always an easy one), I feel I have a lot to offer in terms of personal experience and support.

I became a Colon Hydrotherapist because, well, I felt like crap. I looked wrong, I felt wrong, I had no energy and it just didn’t make any sense. No matter what I ate my body didn’t seem to be digesting it very well – I had immediate discomfort, distention, gas, chronic constipation and eventually a slamming case of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) was doing me wrong, and the Western, Allopathic Medicine System wouldn’t even believe me - they said it was all in my head, “But here, take these daily forever anyway…they might help…”

So after many years of misery, body discomfort turned body / eating issues, and after being duped by relentless ‘marketing disguised as education’, I stumbled onto (literally) the oldest cure in the book! Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, declared that “All health and sickness begins in the colon.” It is a simple sentence, and one that made and still makes the most sense to me. So I began to educate myself, and experiment on myself. I knew in my ‘gut’ that I needed to begin a cleansing program to undo what I had done with the first part of my life… and then make adjustments to my diet, my lifestyle, my ideas and perspectives. Sounds easy, but not always so! I still struggle with so much of it all – but I do know now what I know now… and I mostly feel great and look great – and when I don’t, I know why! And I learned that, indeed, Cleansing and Detoxifying Your Body Can Change Your Life! It certainly changed mine!

Through search, studies, and many self-experiments, I have come to understand that what you put in your body is important – and equally important is what is or isn’t coming out! I believe that colon, and therefore general, health in America is deteriorating. Low-fiber, high-fat, “junk” fast food diets leave behind a trail of sludge that can lead to constipation, toxicity, obesity, skin conditions, allergies, irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids, diverticulosis, and much worse. By cleansing you give your body a fighting chance to do what it was designed to do – heal itself. It is important to learn what different types of ‘foods’ are doing in your body, to remove the obstacles (toxins, acids, harmful micro-organisms, clogging build up) to your health and wellness – and see how cleansing your body can change your life.

The benefits I have gained through exploring my own health issues have led to my passion for supporting and encouraging health and wellness in others... and what I like to call My Passion for Poop. My goal is to help you to detoxify your whole body system so you can rebuild and regenerate new cells and tissues in a healthy environment. It won’t happen over night — 10, 20, 30, 40 or more years of toxic living can’t be rinsed out in an hour. It’s a process and it takes time and commitment. Only you know if you feel optimally healthy. Only your body can show us what it’s going to take to get you there. If you really think about it, I know you’ll agree this is a great place to start. And if you want to know what else I think and feel about this modality, no one says it better than one of my very best friends – Suki Zoe, Colon Therapist and Raw Foods Goddess in London, England. Please read the ‘Colonics’ page from her website (and while there, please peruse the rest of her site – she really is quite brilliant).
