Gabriela is absolutely amazing. She is kind, thorough, and takes her time. She is very knowledgeable about the body and provides individualized care based on your needs. She thoroughly answers my questions and provides suggestions for home routines that have been beneficial in improving my gut functions and working towards my overall goals. The office is clean and private, and most importantly she is punctual. read more

Gabriela is an angel from heaven!!!!!!!!! She has given me so much in my healing journey, not only with my gut health but my mental and spiritual health as well! She is incredibly knowledgeable and a joy to spend time with. I look forward to all of our colonic sessions. I have been seeing her weekly since the beginning of this summer and have made so many improvements with chronic pain, migraine symptoms, fatigue, and stomach issues! Gabriela made me feel comfortable and cared for from the moment I met her and she truly is a very special woman with the gift of healing! She is a great listener and cheerleader who really cares about all of her patients. I cannot thank her enough for all her efforts. 10000% recommend her colonic services to anyone who has been thinking about it! You won't regret it! :) read more

Working with Gabriela has just been outstanding! Gabriela is so in tune with what's going on with my body and how that affects my overall gut health. I just had an appointment with her and walked out feeling and looking better. She is amazing. I see her twice a month, but I would come every week if I could. read more

Gabriela is incredible. I've had many colonics before with different hydrotherapists, but I've never had an experience so gentle. She has not only helped me with my gut, but also underlying lifestyle and stress issues. Her food guidance is also incredible. She is so knowledgeable. Her office is light and calm. I can't say enough about my experience with Gabby. I'm so excited for the rest of the journey! read more

I have been seeing Gabriela for five years now -- so needless to say this review is long overdue. Gabby is the BEST at what she does. She is truly knowledgeable about her work -- and she has helped me so much in my health journey. Honestly, any stomach issues I had are gone. She has a way of making you feel comfortable in what can be an uncomfortable experience -- she provides a very calming clean environment -- and honestly is an incredibly special person. I cannot thank her enough for all that she has done for me these last few years. I without a doubt highly recommend Gabriela's business. read more

This place has really changed my outlook in gut health. Gabriella and Amanda are both so knowledgeable, caring, and do absolute amazing work. They make you feel so comfortable and it's a very warm and inviting environment. My stomach has get so much better after treatments. I highly recommend this business! read more

Gabriela is so deeply gifted at what she does. She provides such a beautiful, clean and safe space which is essential for this kind of intimate experience. I feel so incredibly nurtured in our sessions, and love being in her calming energy. She completely normalizes the experience and makes you feel so comfortable and taken care of. She always tunes into what is going on with my body and knows exactly what it needs in the moment to make the process as easy as possible. My health has completely transformed since I started going regularly to her, and thus she has become an integral part of my health routine. When I leave our sessions, I look younger, healthier, more vibrant, and feel AMAZING. It's no exaggeration to say that working with Gabriela has completely changed my life - I recommend her to everyone I know! read more

First appointment was great. Made a fallow up appointment which I had to cancel the day before because of a medical procedure but was still charged. Not very happy about that so spoke with owner Gabriella and was willing to reschedule which was fine. So that appointment again things happen ended up having to take my daughter to urgent care on my appointment day. Txt Amanda and was told she was booked for the rest of the day and could not accommodate me. Sent both owner and her a picture of where I was and that this was not what I had expected and I would be happy to make another appointment. Never herd back from either of them so they totally ignored me. I work in healthcare and things come up unexpectedly. Would have recommended many of my nurses I work with but not now after this happened. Still waiting for a response about rescheduling..... read more

My experience with Gabriella was disappointing. She came across as rude, condescending, and entitled, displaying unprofessional behavior. Her attitude seemed arrogant and insincere, making the interaction unpleasant. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Oh dear...how does one write a review that basically airs out your sh**. Yes, pun intended! I've been seeing Cindy on-and-off for about 8 yrs now and she knows her sh**z (ok ok, I'll stop already!), hence i followed her from Castro Valley to San Leandro, and now, Oakland. Cindy is very patient, non judgemental, complete professional and taught me a lots about what you eat can effect your moods, digestion, etc..etc. I basically started this form of treatment since i was having major digestion problems...was tested for IBS, Crohn's, diverticulitis, celiac and tests were always inconclusive or told i didn't have....later realizing i have a mild gluten allergy...darn, but i love pasta, bread, soy sauce, etc...so instead of taking medication i decided to look into more holistic approach and that's how i started Cultivate Detox... I know after treatment i feel hydrated and euphoric and less 'toxic'....sadly, i'm still a victim of my own doing as i can't seem to wean off gluten-items but am more aware of portions and the triggers...but this is a great jump start to eliminate those bad, bad food as i realize your body craves it because its withdrawing....anyways, definitely worth a try to 'kick (start) in the derriere' to that diet, better eating, or feeling energized. Located in upper Piedmont Avenue in a shared space with Origins Health Center...parking is challenging so just make that appt during non-peak times like morning or after lunch... read more

Just had my first session with Gabriela. She was honestly amazing. I didn't really know what to expect but she made the whole experience so comfortable and relaxing. She spent the first few mins asking about why I decided to come in, my diet and any issues I wanted to address (mind and body). Then went on to explain some things about the treatment and how they are all related. She's such a warm spirit. Very compassionate. I really enjoyed the time - speaking with her before the treatment, during and after. Overall. She was the absolute best person I could've had this first experience with!! Not only was the service itself great so far after the fact but meeting her was amazing. I look forward to my next session!!! Gabriela is truly top notch!!!! read more

This update has been long over due! I have been coming here for about 2 years now, and still learn something new about myself after each session. It has been a pleasure being under Gabriela's care during the treatments. She has a nurturing and intuitive quality that is very pleasant. Every time I come in, she takes into account what's going on in my life, and offers her insights which are always appreciated. She has her methods to help you relax while on the table, which subsequently assists with the purging process. The holistic approach at Cultivate Detox has allowed me to reconnect with myself on a deeper level. I now make my best efforts to prioritize my well-being. I initially came to this clinic hoping to clear my acne, and I was able to do that, and much more. My skin is clear, family and friends have noticed a "glow" on several occasions. I will sometimes do a colonic before going to work, and will feel light and energized throughout the day no matter how stressful the shift. I'm a nurse and tend to work in a high pressure environment with very sick people. It can be very exhausting and depleting. The colonics are always uplifting and healing on so many levels. The colonics are great, but the healers are the ones who create the safe Haven. Gabriela is very professional, attentive and patient during each session. My sessions with her are always delightful. I have grown to love both Cindy and Gabriela for how genuine and authentic they both are. They always make me feel welcome and at home. I'm so grateful to have found a safe, non-judgemental space to cleanse, relax and rejuvenate. read more

I just had the most cleansing and renewing experience with this earth angel, Gabriella. As I first walked in I was taken aback by her luminous beauty. She G L O W S. I thought she must have been in her 20s her skin is flawless and she said it's from the colonics. She took time to ask me about my diet and my "poop history". She said much of the retention has an emotional component and I didn't totally believe that until the actual colonic. She asked me questions and I just felt such a strong emotional release. It was relatively comfortable but towards the end I began to get uncomfortable. However she was deeply empathic, warm, and highly attuned to my experience. She's an incredible human and I left the office feeling revitalized and eager to book my next appointment. I would without a doubt recommend Gabriella to my friends and family, in fact, I have already recommended her to people. She books early (because she's amazing) so make sure to book an appointment right away. read more

This place has worked wonders for me after the second visit. My body did like a 180 and I lost 25 pounds. I followed directions especially with drinking the green juice. Unfortunately, I slipped up into some old eating habits. I gained the weight back. However, I am optimistic in my thinking and I know it will work again and I will not fall off. read more

Cindy is awesome !! I booked online and he process was quite simple our answer a few health questions and she also follows up with you in person. This was my first colonics and won't be my last ! I felt very light and energized after words . She made the whole process comfortable and she has so much valuable information about the whole procedure , if you have any questions she doesn't hesitate to answer them . The office is very cute as well they have a small waiting room and a few offices in the building . There is paid parking in the street . If you are looking for alternatives for you health I would HIGHLY recommend Cultivate Detox ! read more

Words can't begin to describe my experience with Cindy. She's amazing on every level possible. From the moment we met, she greeted me in a friendly manner. We chatted about my health history and why I feel I may need the colon hydrotherapy. She eased my mind in regards to the actual procedure and the after effects. She's hilarious. I'm crazy and she matched my craziness. During the actual procedure, she was gentle and she answered all 500 of my questions with great detail. Let's talk about the Poop Cam. Man, I was so excited to see what was literally coming out of my body. She took the time to explain things to me as she seen them. The overall experience wasn't bad at all. No pain, no discomfort. It's definitely something to get use to. I'm looking forward to my next appt. I HIGHLY recommend Cindy. She's the SH*T!!! (Literally and figuratively speaking)... read more

Cindy is by far and away the best in her business. The very pioneer of gravity colonics in the Bay Area! I've had other colonics....I started with a closed system that uses pressure- And that therapist was burnt out and uninformed- which makes it a bigger miracle I found myself in Cindy's care! My first 3 experiences were in supportive, I had serious pain and bloating and felt terrible- I pushed on because I KNEW I needed this therapy. I'd fooled around for a year before getting the nerve to put a tube up my tush! lol!!! It was for nothing, all that futzing around- it was a no-thing!! Easy peasy. And when I finally landed at Cindys capable hands my life CHANGED forever. I'm serious, it really did. I have a very severe impaction from birth and was on the brink of a serious disease. And she held space and provided excellent support! It's been many years and now I'm clean! Thx so much my dear Cindy read more

NOTE: I originally wrote the below a year ago: Cindy is a powerful, strong, and real woman. She is compassionate. And very open. Sometimes people cannot handle her directness, her capacity to have boundaries. I am inspired by her ability to not take on other people's s**t -- as she helps them to let it go, if they are willing to let it go. (Metaphor is apt.) Her office is clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I have had three treatments with her so far. My experience of colonic detox was exactly as promised. I am not yet out of the woods with my health issues. I am continuing to work with her as part of my healing. +++ And then a year went by - I forgot to hit the button at bottom that said "Post Review." +++ This week, I went back to Cindy again. I had stopped for a while, as another doctor I was consulting had me on a protocol that she did not recommend doing while also having colonics. I went back this week. The results were amazing. I felt so good!!! Cindy always recommends doing a healthy-eating or juice cleanse of some kind before your session. I had tried, but wasn't able to really do what she suggested. I didn't have the energy/stamina/commitment at that time. Coming back to her this time, after over two months on a new clean-eating diet (no grains, dairy, sugar, soy), my body was in the perfect place to work with this modality. So, Cindy is awesome, and you can't just get a colonic and eat...crap. The gut has needs, people! read more

Cindy Paiva is rude, uncompassionate and provides poor customer service. She does not have a real desire to help people and there is a reason she cannot retain any additional staff or front desk support. Do not patronize this person. read more

After my Colon Cleanse with Cindy, I felt that I needed to do the yelp comminuty and anyone thinking about getting a colon cleanse a huge favor by writing a review. I came into the session excited and ready to let go =). Having a colon cleanse is not just getting rid of the gunk that has been stuck in your intestines and refreshing your digestive system, its a lifestyle. I have been watching documentaries on Netflix and becoming more aware that my body is its own self healer given the right resources. With that, it has brought me to realize that, although I am A young healthy individual, I need to take of my body and self so I can maintain my health status. For me, it's not about the crazy diets or hours at the gym. Its about changing my mental view on food. Cindy was the push I needed with this new lease on life. Not only did she make the session comfortable, she was so personable and made the entire process effortless. I love Cindy for who she is and what she does. She is such a great person with a huge heart and deserve great praise for the work she is doing. I definitely recommend her to anyone thinking about getting a Colon cleanse as I will definitely be seeing her again soon. read more

I was recommended to Cindy by my former housemate who is also a detox specialist. Cindy has great "bedside" manners--is very kind, compassionate, and funny. I love learning more about my body and how it works so it was fun to get to chat with Cindy about my sh**, literally and figuratively. Cindy makes you feel comfortable and is very knowledgeable and experienced. I did a 6 month subscription with her to go deeper in detoxing my body and getting healthier. I also ended up doing a liver cleanse with a pre- and post- liver flush colonic. If you don't think that what you put in your body or what you put your body through doesn't show up in your sh**, think again. As a result of Cindy's care, I try to eat slower--very hard for me, and I try to "listen" to my stomach (generally, my entire tummy, not just the organ) more now--if it feels weird after eating something, or where I'm feeling it when I'm angry, happy, sad, stressed, etc. I've come to respect my digestive system more as a highly intelligent and sensitive second brain in my body. I also love the fresh green drink she has for me after each session. They're tasty and healthy. Tips: 1) Sign up for Cindy's e-newsletter. She has 6 month subscriptions that are a great deal if you're serious about doing a deeper cleanse or regular "maintenance." She only offers this twice a year--in the spring and fall. 2) Before an appointment eat lightly--fruits or juices. Same for afterwards. Cindy gives these instructions with your appointment confirmation but I'll reiterate it. Your digestive system is sensitive--treat it respectfully! 3) Hydration is important. I always try to drink more fluids a week before my appointments. 4) I don't recommend doing anything physically strenuous after a session. Or being far from a bathroom just in case! 5) Relax and enjoy learning more about yourself as you clean your colon for better health! read more

Yesssss I've done it. Yes it can seem weird, and it is...at first. At Cultivate they really put you at ease, explain thoroughly the health benefits, and provide you with dietary guidance to avoid future digestion issues. The procedure itself, quite relaxing, therapeutic, eye-opening and mind opening. It's less invasive than any other medical procedure you can think of. There's no pain involved. And the benefits so far have made a difference. If you're moody, touchy, grouchy... this may be your solution :) read more

This was a really great experience. My husband and I went because we saw a Living Social deal available, and he had be saying for a while that he would like to try colon therapy. I won't lie, I was very nervous, but thought I would give it a shot. I can't tell you how happy I am about this experience. We arrived very early and just expected to wait in their waiting room till it was out turn. Instead of having to wait Cindy brought us back early and we got to have a long chat with her about the process and why the process is important. She is very knowledgeable and makes you feel very comfortable. I really appreciate the time she spent with us, you can tell she really cares about people and wants to help people. The entire experience was calming and relaxing, much the opposite of what I expected. Cindy also spent time with us afterward, recommended books and supplements that might help with some issues we are having (to buy on Amazon). She didn't hard sell for another session or force us to buy any of the products she has available for purchase, like some other places might. In fact she offered to let me borrow a book but unfortunately it was loaned out to another one of her clients. Anyhow, I just wanted to take the time to say how great this place is, how wonderful Cindy and Jill are and that I highly recommend this place. I will certainly go back int he future and I have already told a few of my friends they should go too! read more

First experience ever with colonics. Had some high anxiety going into my appointmnet, almost canceled, but am exceedingly happy that I didn't! Kristina was just wonderful, and made the entire experience very pleasant for me. Just now booked my second appointment and the first for my wife. UPDATE: Have now completed 3 colonic appointments. Additionally, my wife, as well, has had 3 appointments. The entire staff at Cultivate Detox are kind, professional and genuine. I find Cindy, the owner, a genuine pleasure to interact with. My wife had all appointments with her, and used only positive words to describe both her experience, as well as Cindy as a person. Kristina, whom I spent my appointments with, is someone I'd gladly share a cup of tea with on a personal level. As well, her professionalism is top tier. And last, but not least, the gal at the front desk (I don't know her name), I've enjoyed chatting with the last two visits. I find her to be charming, and a delightful welcome into the business. Cultivate Deteox - still, highly recommended. read more

I love how much I learned during my first colonic! Cindy spent a lot of time with me, served a delicious veggie juice afterwards and provided a healing, comforting environment. It was so relaxing. And how convenient, she is located near a BART station! read more

I am absolutely thrilled to have discovered Cindy and her services...I have been to a few other colon hydrotherapy clinics, and unfortunately felt they were sterile, uncomfortable, and made me think the process was perhaps not the right thing for me. However, after a particularly difficult experience on a cleanse that caused my digestive system to literally shut down, I knew I needed to see a professional. Cindy is everything I've been searching for - I feel like a totally new person! ;-) She is incredibly knowledgeable, nurturing, professional, and makes a somewhat uncomfortable experience totally safe and wonderfully healing. She totally prepares you for what to expect, what you are experiencing, and how to take care of yourself after the treatment. Her spa is warm, comfortable, smells like essential oils, and makes you feel totally at home...I can't recommend Cindy and the Institute of Colon Hygiene enough - if you are looking for a true healer, go see her! read more

Cindy is amazing. I came into cultivate detox not knowing what to expect and quite nervous. Cindy immediately made me feel comfortable and as relaxed as I could feel under the circumstances. I work in customer service and I have to say this woman is great and her job, you can tell she loves it and really tries to make the situation as comfortable as possible. My problems I went for have vanished and I felt amazing after leaving. The price is very reasonable, the room is clean and I will definitely go back if I need to. I really can not express how pleased I am/was with the whole experience - I wish I would have went sooner. Thank you. read more

Cindy is what makes this place. It seems like it would be awkward but nope - aside from being great at what she does, she's funny and a great listener. Fascinating to be in the presence of someone who loves the mystery of understanding health on a person-by-person basis. Clean, cozy, and love the essential oil treatment. The office has a welcoming environment. read more

Everyone should have Colon Hydrotherapy with Cindy!!! If we love ourselves and believe in self care, then we should also incorporate colon hydrotherapy to our daily hygiene routine. Cindy is warm, knowledgeable, and makes the process very comfortable. It is a very gentle experience and you feel so light and healthier as time progresses. I highly recommend seeing Cindy and get clean and healthier with her colonics. It is affordable and well worth it!! read more

Gabriela is a gem. Colon hydrotherapy helped my body detox & rebuild and shed a few pounds too! Gabriela is so knowledgeable and nurturing. She makes the treatment easeful and adds a little massage to it as well. I look forward to going to learn from her and be pampered during it. Highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed read more

Such an amazing experience! Gabriella was absolutely incredible. This was my first time and I didn't know what to expect but she made me feel comfortable and created space for me to just be. I booked my next appointment as soon as I left my first one. I felt the healing energy & the presence of positive vibrations throughout this experience. I was open to release and address some parts of myself that need healing. I am full of gratitude for this experience and am looking forward to my next appointment. read more

Felt good after first, better after 2nd and wonderful after third session. Jill was very patient with me in all my sessions since this is my first try at colonic hydrotherapy. After second session my sore knees felt better (perhaps I was dehydrated?) By the third session, I felt that that my health was finally going in the right direction. My joints moved more freely and I didn't feel so bloated. Jill inspired me to eat a cleaner diet which in turn brought about the more youthful and healthier feeling that I was looking for when I tried hydrotherapy. I feel really comfortable at Cultivate Detox, and I love seeing and feeling my body respond positively to the treatments. I have recommended Cultivate Detox to my friends and highly recommend them to anyone considering colonic hydrotherapy. read more

Cindy is a joy to work with. She is incredibly warm, welcoming and knowledgeable and instantly put me at ease. It was my first time doing this procedure & Cindy was extremely accommodating and did everything she could to make me feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for this service. read more

Gabriela is very pleasant and kind. She made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I will definitely go back.

Colon hydrotherapy is one of the best investments I've made in my health. Friend referred me to Cindy and knew immediately she was the professional that would assist in moving what acupuncture, chiropractic, naturopathic and others unable to energetically release. After multiple colon hydro sessions and two deep deep herbal cleanses (also recommended by Cindy) the combo not only cleaned the colon of sticky plague from decades of life eventually moved what was the clump of "crap" that was causing stress on spleen along with mid and lower back issues never experienced in past. In future will go to Cindy for maintenance and periodic cleansing to keep colon healthy. HIGHLY recommend Cindy. If you are committed to restoring your health Cindy is for You. read more

Cindy is just wonderful! I almost do not want to write a review out of fear she will get too busy! First of all, Cindy is genuinely warm, knowledgable and very professional. I know the concept of a colonic can cause some trepidation, or some might possibly think that this is an invasive or uncomfortable way of healing, BUT if you are looking to understand what is causing you to not feel well; and desire to turn your health around for the best, in a supportive and safe environment, then Cindy and this place is for you. Secondly, this is a professional healing clinic, dedicated to people who might be like me, and have tried a lot of things, and finally found this place, which is life changing. You will find Cindy is an excellent listener and practitioner, she demonstrates a wide breadth of expertise with herbs, diet and nutrition, colon health, detox and juice coaching. I love that she integrates her personal journey to wellness with her holistic healing modalities. I trust Cindy immensely, and it speaks volumes to me, that she never pushes me, or pushes products on me. For an example, while her knowledge, herbs and services are all there, she really let's me explore and decide when I am ready to do or try something. I love that, and appreciate that, since a ton of other practitioners I have gone to are the opposite, they want to sell you a whole bunch of stuff right up front and before you know it you've sunk so much into something and then you are not getting better, it can get frustrating. As her client I feel like she really is a partner in my path to wellness and for those who really want to get well mind, body spirit wise, run, do not walk to Cindy. read more

This review is solely based on their customer service. I had purchased a living social deal and had an appt for Tuesday. Unexpectedly, my dad was rushed to the emergency room a few hours before my appt. I called multiple times to try to reschedule but a message came up stating the office did not have a receptionist and to leave messages. Later that evening, I receive an email from Cindy saying that they have a very strict cancellation policy and we are to inform them of our cancellation within 24 hours. She also mentioned that she did not have a choice but to redeem my coupon as it is not fair for people who were on the waiting list. I emailed her back with what happened and did not hear back. What could I have done to avoid this? I tried calling multiples times to no avail. Your message says " we do not have a receptionist, pls leave your message we will return your call within 36-48 hours. I did mention in my voicemail that I would love to reschedule but that wasn't even an option. Emergencies DO happen and as healthcare professionals, you should be very well aware of that. But no, you chose to redeem a few bucks to make this worth your time. Maybe you should hire a receptionist to avoid situations like this from occurring and losing more customers. For this reason, I am returning other living social "deals" for this place that I had purchased for other people and I refuse to be serviced by "professionals" who are more worried about making a few dollars than someone else's well being. If you guys want more details, feel free to shoot me message and I will send you a copy of our emails. Thanks. read more

Where should I begin...let's start with...if I could give Cultivate Detox 10 stars I would. My healing journey with Cindy started nearly 10 years ago when I was experiencing a health crisis. My body was overladen with the Standard American Diet and I was in great "dis-ease". Doctors had no idea what was wrong with me and just wanted to throw prescriptions at me. I realized I needed to do something progressive. Serendipitously, I discovered an article on Colon Hygiene and my body immediately knew it was what I needed. Even still, it took me months to make an appointment because I was so shy about the process...right?!? I knew my body needed it, but like so many others I was apprehensive. I finally mustered the courage to make an appointment. When I arrived Cindy was relaxed and inviting and immediately put me at ease with a couple offhanded jokes. I was able to relax and receive the live-giving message that would change the course of my life forever. Yes...it is that serious! Over the years, it has been a long and winding road. Cindy has taught me more about my path to spiritual healing than any one person I know. She is intuitive and encouraging, and she has a quiet way of downloading the necessary information. Because of this, I was able to open myself to the process and be willing to take the necessary steps. On her table, I have shed so many layers of anger, grief, depression, resentment, fear, and self doubt. Doing that opened me up to my truest form and the exponential magic of life. A few words about Jill: Given my experience with Cindy, I never thought I could find another therapist that could be as in tune with my body as Cindy. She really sets the bar quite high. Luckily, I decided to give Jill a spin around the block and I immediately fell in love. Jill has been an AMAZING addition to Cultivate. She is sweet and intuitive and very open. She works well with Cindy and that does my heart good. Jill has a true talent that I never thought could be duplicated, but happily I was proven wrong. It has been such an uplifting experience getting to know her and watching her transform into a healer in her own right. These two ladies are nothing short of a miracle, and I am honored to have them in my life. I truly wouldn't be the woman I am today if I hadn't taken that leap of faith, so many years ago and showed up for ME. Since that fateful day, I have transformed into a beacon of love and light, and I am proud to say it is all because I was willing to lay down EGO and trust in the healing process. Without the women at Cultivate Detox, I would have never tapped into my full potential. Thank you, Cindy and Jill! A few closing words about negative reviews: Over the years, I have known a few folks to have a negative reaction to Cindy. However, it is quite evident that they were merely playing out their own "story", true to form. Cindy is a very savvy business woman and understands that, as a healer, boundaries are vitally important. This is one of my favorite things about her...with Cindy, what you see is what you get. She is very upfront about what the clinic is, and what it isn't. This is not her first rodeo; she's been there, done that. My experience has been, that folks who struggle with this, are struggling with something much deeper within themselves...and to them I say...Namaste, may you find your peace. Cindy holds no resentments. She sees these moments as an opportunity for growth and moves on. There are far too many folks out there who are in need of her healing energy and if you're not there...she's cool with that too. If you are concerned about negative reviews, open your heart and breathe. If you are looking for this service, your body is trying to tell you something and you couldn't find a better clinic, in my humble opinion. Just relax and let the magic happen. Open yourself to vibrant health and reclaim your most awesome you. Best of luck on your healing journey...Namaste! :) read more

I've been to many colon hydrotherapists here in the Bay Area, Seattle, and LA. Cindy is the REAL deal - she is a rare find in the "detox" world - a true healer who holds a safe space for you to release, and uses gravity colonics which are far gentler, and in my opinion more effective than pressurized systems. She knows the ins and out of raw food / whole foods detox and spiritual healing & detox better than pretty much anyone you'll ever meet and has overcome some serious illnesses completely naturally and helped many others do the same. If you've been diagnosed with something bad (the C-word?) and are in need of an alternative opinion that could save your life, please run don't walk to her! She is an invaluable and rare resource in the community. Note: she is a one-woman business and has a strict 24-hour cancellation policy. Clients who work with her know that sometimes you feel ill during detox and can't make it in, and I have had to pay for appointments I couldn't make if I didn't manage to cancel in time. I did so gladly, because Cindy offers great discounts for her services if you buy a package / series, so honestly I don't think I've ever really lost money compared to the costs of expensive, inferior colonics at other clinics, with far less skillful practitioners... even when I missed some of my appointments. I would drive several hours to see Cindy - a good gravity colonic is hard to come by, and she really is that good. read more
