This is a great service in our community. Darlene is professional and deeply caring. She explains…read morethe process very well and is kind, gentle and encouraging. Her studio is quiet, calming and spotlessly clean. The equipment she uses is top of the line and the entire process is comfortable and soothing. Darlene is a true healer, she tunes in to what her clients needs are, both physically and emotionally. A doctor at the hospital sent me home with a completely impacted and blocked colon, advising me to take more laxatives. I was in acute distress for two more days, unable to eat, drink, or eliminate. Darlene truly saved my life and helped me more than I can say. I'm very grateful.

Darlene does an amazing job overseeing and holding the space for such a sensitive and intimate…read moretreatment. I have had over 20 colonics with her now over the course of 4 years, including a 10-day program that included an herbal cleansing kit and a suggested liver flush. All I can say is, WOW! And, thank god I did it! Not only did I see stuff I knew was not good to have inside of me, but her support, education and her wisdom really helped me tie whole-body health together. She really helped me be at ease with myself throughout the process, without any pushiness or overdoing. She held the space and really coached me along the way to better health. I recommend this to anyone who wants to really see and feel a difference in their health, regardless of whatever else is going on. I know that during my detoxing efforts, it was the colon hydrotherapy that took away the headaches, nausea, fatigue when my body needed it most. I WOULD NEVER do a cleanse without this kind of work. A 15-day fast couldn't of happened so smoothly without her help and guidance. I recommend this to anyone, since everyone has stuck stuff in the colon from years of dietary choices and/or stress that makes the colon hold on to crummy junk! When you start to clear out the junk, you really become aware of what is causing a lot of health problems and depleting your vitality. I really do believe Darlene is right about "the colon being the root cause or a main contributor to all health problems"... I keep verifying that for myself in my own body... so should anyone else :) THANK YOU, THANK YOU, DARLENE!

What an amazing experience! I visited Rae for a session with…read morethe Hocatt Ozone machine and I was not disappointed! First she ran a biofeedback / energetic diagnostic test and gave me so much insight about the current working of my physical body. Then I sat in the Ozone machine for about 30 minutes while she kept me company and shared great conversation. Finally she put me on her bio-mat with vibrations, heat, crystals and meditation on headphones. It was blissful! I will be back and continue to utilize her services.. Can't wait to check out the other offerings in future opportunities. Thank you dear Rae!

Great experience today with Desiree. My mom and I had the Ionic Foot Bath (Detox/Cleansing)…read more According to Internal Wisdom this technology uses alternating negative and positive ion technology to remove waste byproducts through the feet. This system has been reported to alleviate pain, stiffness, congestion, and headaches and improve sleep and mental clarity. My end results revealed very low sodium levels in my body but also possible lymphatic issues; just things to be aware of. Internal Wisdom offers a variety of services including but not limited to coaching, stress relief, body work, colon hydrotherapy, energy work, detox, cleanse and more. The facility is beautiful, very clean and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes and calming to the soul. Friendly, personable, welcoming staff members whose goal is your good health. The detox foot bath was a seated process with an electronic probe attached to my wrist at the pulse point, my feet soaking in a tub of clear water, with a device in the water. What an relaxing experience. Water started out clear, was a rusty color by the end. The outcome was different for my mom and I but the experience good. I'll be anxious to see how well I sleep tonight. I participated in Somatic Breath Workshop at this location in early May 2022. That facilitator was Troy Fontana of Primitive Connection from Reno Nevada. That was an amazing experience at Internal Wisdom with some of the staff members, where I initially met Desiree and the shop's owner Rachael. Different experience but the same positive, relaxing, comfortable aesthetics, friendly staff members and a truly healing experience. I look forward to returning for more healthy services.

A truly beautiful and peaceful retreat …read more I did Panchakarma here and had a wonderful experience. I came in with some health issues, and now I feel so much better--lighter, more energized, and balanced. Ragaia and Pema are both incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and caring. Over the course of seven days, I not only received deep healing but also gained valuable insights into how to shift my lifestyle to maintain good energy and long-term health. I highly recommend this place for anyone considering Panchakarma. I'm already planning to return every year.

Ragaia and his talented, attentive staff are powerful and exquisitely trained healers, plain and simple. In both trips, spaced 10 years apart, my health had deteriorated substantially from stress, and I was unable to work. The combination of Ayurvedic modalities, yoga, meditation, herbs, diet and spiritual focus is just the alchemy you need. The place itself: honestly, I have never been to a more inspiring place, and sublime environment in which to heal: the area is a mind-boggling garden of eden of gorgeous plants, trees, bushes and views to die for. Since I have been there twice, and because I have been entirely healed both times, I can recommend with 100% confidence that Blue Sage is truly extraordinary, even holy. Yes, holy ground. God's lives in heaven, but he keeps a second home at Blue Sage.

The nurses and PTs we have had (for hip and knee replacements) have mostly been very good - but…read morescheduling is a nightmare. The office staff is not at all helpful and they will not schedule visits until the night before. Once you have been assigned someone, you can communicate directly with them - but until then dealing with the office staff is just awful. For the knee replacement, they sent a PT to do both PT and nursing duties. This individual was not qualified for wound assessment/care, and removed the staples too soon resulting in the wound opening - and now we are facing another month of wound treatment. We have had three different "case managers" and the communication has been dreadful. Very disappointing - I would not recommend them.

The staff is wonderful, beyond helpful. My husband had an ultrasound done at the office and then a CT was ordered by his primary and his primary referred us back to Maldanado to get results from the CT scan. While the CT scan results did indicate that there were masses, Maldanado didn't go over the results with us, instead he said "You have Cancer there's nothing I can do. God Bless you and Good Luck" and walked out. It was shocking and hurtful. We left baffled and confused. Luckily, my husband's primary was more forthcoming and compassionate.

I was referred to Dr. Maldonado for the specific problem of swelling, inflammation, and pain in my lower left leg and ankle, which I made very clear to him in my first appointment. After an ultrasound, he told me I needed 5 procedures of foam injections into the veins of my legs. We were standing at the reception desk and I asked him a direct question about cost of the procedures. His response was "we have a special relationship with Medicare" and my cost would be nothing. The receptionist chimed in that office visits cost me nothing. Being on a fixed income I agreed to the treatments. After 5, 40 minute, in office, very painful and traumatic experiences, my legs look worse than they ever have. These injections had zero effect on my original problem of swelling, inflammation, and pain in my lower left leg and ankle. Dr. Maldonado's response to that? "Not everything is a vein problem". Really?! Then why did I just go through 5 apparently unnecessary procedures? And the cost? Medicare was billed $12,000 per 40 minute procedure ($300 per minute) for a total of $60,000 and no cost to me? I was billed and am out of pocket $1,800. Zero stars.
