Colon Hydrotherapy (and Coffee Additive)
Colon Hydrotherapy, commonly referred to as Colonics, is a therapeutic practice with a rich history that dates back to ancient Egyptian times. While it may initially seem daunting to some, it offers a variety of health benefits and has been utilized for centuries to promote digestive health and overall well-being.
The Process: The colon hydrotherapy process begins with the Client's gentle insertion of a small speculum into the rectum. This speculum is connected to two essential tubes: an intake tube that brings in clean, filtered water and a waste tube that allows for the expulsion of material from the colon. This expelled material can be observed through a viewing tube, providing insight into the effectiveness of the treatment.
Once the speculum is in, a certified Colon Hydrotherapist will gradually introduce a small amount of water into the colon. This infusion of water is intended to stimulate peristaltic muscle contractions, which are natural movements of the colon that help expel waste. As the colon contracts, it releases not only the accumulated waste but also fiber and debris present in the large intestine. Additionally, the liver plays a crucial role, releasing a substance known as bile which aids in the elimination of metabolic waste from the body
Colon Hydrotherapy may provide relief from constipation, reduction of bloating, improved digestion, enhanced hydration, and effective detoxification. The therapy can help cleanse the colon of accumulated waste and toxins, promoting a healthier digestive system. Many clients seek colontherapy on their own, looking for guidance in releasing trapped material from their intestines as well as providing deep, internal hydration.
A colonic is conceptually similar to an enema, as both methods utilize water to facilitate the removal of waste from the intestines, Colonics use a higher volume of water and can reach higher into the Intestine. To further enhance the experience, some practitioners offer the option of adding enema coffee to the water during a session. This addition stimulates the common bile duct, promoting the release of bile from the liver and enriching the overall therapeutic experience.
Lastly, Colon Hydrotherapy addresses issues of motility by strengthening peristalsis, which is vital for maintaining a healthy and functioning digestive system. Overall, Colon Hydrotherapy serves as a valuable tool for those seeking to improve their digestive health and overall well-being.
Lymphatic Drainage using B.E.L.D.
Lymphatic Drainage is a therapeutic approach designed to alleviate excess fluid accumulation in the body, known as Interstitial Fluid. This fluid can become trapped when the Lymphatic Glands are not functioning optimally, leading to various health concerns. Fortunately, there are multiple techniques to address this issue effectively. One popular method is the use of a Bio-Electric Lymphatic Drainage Wand. This innovative tool is placed directly on the gland, where it emits infrared waves that penetrate the skin. This process may assist the body in releasing excess fluid through the renal system.
The B.E.L.D treatment is particularly beneficial as the lymphatic glands are located just beneath the skin's surface, and stimulating them can help facilitate drainage. While lymphatic glands are present throughout the body, the focus is primarily on key areas where fluid tends to accumulate. These include the Thymus Gland located in the center of the chest, the neck region beneath the ears, the drainage points behind the clavicle, the axillary (armpit) area, the entire gut area,, the groin, the back of the knees, and the ankles.
When discussing issues like body fat, it’s important to recognize that weight often reflects the body’s inability to drain properly. This can occur for various reasons, and the holistic approach is to support the body’s drainage system. By doing so, we can prevent the storage of waste in adipose cells and promote a healthy flow towards the organs responsible for elimination. To enhance the effectiveness of this treatment, incorporating lifestyle changes can be beneficial. Consuming anti-inflammatory foods, high-water content foods, and herbs that promote drainage, along with maintaining movement, self-care habits, and deep breathing, can empower clients to manage their fluid retention.
During the Bio-Electric Lymphatic Drainage sessions, clients typically experience a painless sensation, often described as gentle shocks, while the room fills with a distinctive ozone scent. Additionally, it is recommend scheduling a Lymphatic Drainage session before Colon Hydrotherapy to maximize fluid release through the colon, ensuring a holistic approach to wellness.
Ear Coning (Thermal-Auricular Therapy)
Ear coning, also known as ear candling, is an ancient practice that has gained popularity as a holistic method for promoting ear health and wellness. The process involves using a specially designed cone, typically made of beeswax or other natural materials, which is placed in the ear canal and then the far end of the cone is lit. This warm smoke and heat is believed to help drain wax through the Lymph Drain under the ear and helps the Vegas Nerve relax so that the client can move into a Parasympathetic State.
The introduction of ear coning can be traced back to various cultures, including the ancient Egyptians and Native Americans, who utilized it for its purported health benefits. While the scientific community remains divided on its effectiveness, many individuals swear by the soothing and relaxing experience it provides. The process begins with the client lying comfortably on one side, with a towel or protective covering around the ear. A hollow candle is then inserted into the ear canal, making sure it fits securely and comfortably. The candle is then lit at the opposite end, it to burn slowly.
Many people find the warmth and gentle crackling sounds of the candle to be calming and meditative. It’s important to note that while practitioners claim that ear coning can alleviate issues such as sinus pressure, headaches, and ear infections, anyone considering this treatment should consult with a healthcare professional beforehand.
Many individuals report feeling a sense of relief and clarity following the treatment, with a heightened sense of well-being. In conclusion, ear coning is a holistic practice that has roots in ancient traditions, offering individuals a unique approach to ear health. While its effectiveness may be debated, the calming experience and potential benefits have made it a popular choice for those seeking alternative wellness therapies. As with any health treatment, it's essential to approach ear coning with an open mind and ensuring that it aligns with your personal health goals.
Infrared Sauna
Infrared saunas are becoming increasingly popular for their numerous health benefits. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas use infrared light to directly warm your body. This method of heating allows for a deeper penetration of heat, promoting relaxation and rejuvenation.
One of the key benefits of using an infrared sauna is improved circulation. The heat helps to dilate blood vessels, which can enhance blood flow and oxygen delivery to your muscles and organs. can be particularly beneficial for those recovering from injuries or looking to boost their athletic performance. Infrared saunas can aid in detoxification. Sweating is one of the body's natural ways to eliminate toxins, and the deep heat from an infrared sauna can promote a more intense sweat, to rid the body of harmful substances. Moreover, regular use of an infrared sauna may help with weight loss. The increase in heart rate and metabolic rate while in the sauna can lead to burning calories, making it a great to a healthy lifestyle. Overall, incorporating infrared sauna sessions into your routine can lead to improved health, relaxation, and well-being.
We advise using the Sauna after a session of Colon Hydrotherapy in order to create further and deeper detoxification.

PEMF Mat
Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field (PEMF) therapy utilizes pulsing electromagnetic fields to invigorate and activate cells by generating small micro voltages within them. These micro-voltages assist cells in regaining their optimal function and enhancing overall wellness. Nobel Prize laureate Otto Warburg discovered that healthy cells maintain a Trans Membrane Potential (TMP of approximately -70 to -90 millivolts. In contrast, unhealthy cells experience a decline in TMP, where levels dropping below 50 millivolts can contribute to chronic fatigue syndrome and other health issues. Inflammation can elevate TMP to values exceeding -120 millivolts. PEMF therapy can aid in restoring cells to their healthy range. The four key factors in PEMF therapy are Intensity, Frequency, Wave Form, and Duration.
The process involves having a client lay on a PEMF Mat for a specific period of time (we use 30 minute increments), We can program a relaxing or Vital Wave frequency and use mild, intermediate or Intense pulses. A client may not feel anything while on the Mat, but ideally feels a sense of wellness after the treatment.
Virtual or In-Person Gut Consultation
I offer a comprehensive "Gut Consultation" for clients who are looking for an in-depth discussion about their gut health. This session begins with an intake form, allowing me to gather essential information about your health background. During our Video Chat, we will review your answers together, paving the way to uncover the root causes of your gut-related issues. Although conditions such as Candida, heavy metal exposure, parasites, or mold can have a direct impact on the colon, my expertise lies in understanding how stress influences the enteric system through the adrenal glands, amygdala, and the vagus nerve.
From my experience, diet and exercise often play a minimal role in our overall health. Instead, I focus on what I call "secondary" nutrition— such as romantic and family relationships, workplace toxicity, internal dialogues, sleep quality, and various external circumstances that significantly affect our physical well-being. By piecing together these different aspects of your life, we can create a targeted game plan that promotes healing and balance in your mind, body, and spirit. It's often more about addressing the underlying issues that are neglected rather than just focusing on eating well and exercising regularly. It's essential to think beyond traditional definitions of health and explore what truly contributes to your well-being. Together, we can redefine your understanding of health and create a personalized approach that resonates with your unique situation.
