I can't say enough good things about Lori at Northshore Colonics. From the moment we walked into her office, we felt completely comfortable. The space is warm and inviting, and Lori herself is so knowledgeable and professional. She took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure my son and I understood the process and felt at ease. My son had been struggling with constipation for a while, and after seeing Lori, things have changed for the better. She not only helped him through the procedure but also gave us great advice on diet and lifestyle changes to keep him feeling good. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and wants the best for them. Her prices are very reasonable for the level of care she provides, & honestly, she's worth every penny. If you're on the fence about trying this, don't hesitate... Lori is amazing! read more

Lori was absolutely wonderful in making me feel comfortable as it was my 1st time. She is very knowledgeable and caring. Once my Hydro colon therapy was complete, I felt instant results. Actually, I've already booked my second session! Thanks Lori! read more

I have been getting colonics for over 20 years and thought I was going to the best of the best until I met Lori. She is by far the most amazing colonic therapist I have ever experienced. She is so subtle and skilled and the releases are not to be believed, I am blown away by her skill and expertise and feel so much healthier since I have been seeing her. I am so grateful to have found her and she is an amazing person who really cares which is icing on the cake. Take care of yourself and make sure to use her services because she is one in 1 million. read more

Went in for my first colonic with my daughter. Great selection for a facility. It's so Zen in there. Lori was great at explaining the process. I must say I could have fallen asleep I was so comfortable. Very informative on how the colon works and seeing the extraction. I would definitely recommend this location as a first time. It's personable. read more

Amazing beautiful experience as well as professionalism Lori is such an amazing educator on the colon my Goodness I am such a satisfied customer with a satisfied experience and I will be a regular because she is GREAT read more

Lori is wonderful! She talks you through the whole process and is there the whole time. Once done, you feel like a brand new person. Highly recommend! read more

Unfortunately, I really wanted to give this place a try, but my experience with the poor level of customer service I received caused me to cancel my scheduled appointments and take my business elsewhere. The website is great. It is warm, friendly, and informative. Despite the 1 hour drive I was willing to make to use this clinic, I still chose it because it seemed to be the most personable out of all the clinics I had researched in the area. With this type of procedure, you're certainly looking for warm and fuzzy people/personalities. I emailed Lori and told her of my intentions to schedule an appointment with her clinic. I gave her a brief background and overview of my health history in the email and asked what would be the best way to schedule an appointment. She called me later that day and left a voicemail. I picked up my cell phone and saw that she had called, but I did not have a voicemail notification on my phone, so I called her back right when I saw that I had missed her call. Her first words to me were "Oh, I just left you a detailed voicemail", and it wasn't in the friendliest of tones, almost as if she were irritated that I had called. I apologized, told her I didn't know she had left a message. We continued to talk and I began scheduling my sessions with her. I scheduled the first one for a Friday evening at 6pm. She immediately said, "Are you going to be scheduling ALL of your appointments in the evening?" (Again, the not-so-nice-I'm-irritated tone). I said, well, whatever works best for you, I'm flexible. (I thought I was the CUSTOMER?) So we scheduled the rest for 6am in the morning. As we progressed through the conversation, she seemed a bit snippy and referenced my "lonnnng" email (in her words) as to why we didn't need a consultation upon my first session. She insisted upon taking my credit card information right up front (about 30 seconds into the conversation), which is fine, I get it, maybe they've been burned a couple of times on people not showing up for sessions. But it's kind of a put-off when it's mentioned right away like that. We finished up the conversation, and I told her I would see her soon. For the next several days afterward, I couldn't shake the uncomfortable feeling I had with my first impression of the clinic. I didn't care for her tone, or the way I was made to feel like I was an inconvenience, never was I made to feel like a valued customer. And given the distance I was traveling (which I did share with her), and the fact that we are talking about hundreds of my hard-earned money, I made the decision to cancel my scheduled sessions and take my business elsewhere. She may very well be a great person and a talented therapist, but based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend the clinic to anyone, and I won't ever be going there myself. read more

Where do I even begin!? I cannot say enough good things about Lori (the owner) or have my sessions with her have helped my stomach and "issues" in so many ways! I started seeing Lori a little over 2 years ago and have been so lucky and blessed to not only get to work with her but have developed a great friendship with her as well. I have struggled with digestive issues and stomach problems for many years and whenever I come in for a session I let her know what is happening with me and where my pains/tight spots are and she uses abdominal massage combined with coconut oil (very nourishing and hydrating) to help move things along and work out those tight and tough spots. The amount of relief I feel at the end of my sessions I can't even put into words! There are some sessions where I walk out feeling 10 pounds lighter and don't look pregnant and puffy anymore :) She also incorporates infusions into your sessions (by request and extra small charge) to help get things moving. Every time I do the coffee infusion which has made such a difference in my releases to get more of the stale and stuck crap (no pun intended) out. Her hours are great too. As early as 5AM!!! 7 days a week! She really has love for her clients and is so helpful and willing to accommodate people's busy lives and schedules. She is so fun to talk to and we always have great sessions just chatting and laughing and talking about life. And it's great because you relax and get yourself distracted and aren't paying attention to the fact your stomach is relaxing so much and you end up have a great release because you're not feeling all tight and stressed out. Since let's be real that's basically what each of our lives contains! Too much stress and not enough focus and attention to ourselves. And during your session as things are coming out she can tell by how everything looks, down to the gas bubbles and will know if you are or aren't eating properly, hydrating well etc. Really helps you figure out where you need to make some adjustments and changes. For example, eating slower and chewing your food properly (my biggest issue) avoiding certain foods that don't seem to be digesting or moving out properly, drinking more water, avoiding carbonated drinks just to name a few. There is no hiding bad habits when you're in a session with her! And if you want to continue to feel better then why not take some of her helpful tips and apply them at home? Especially when they are so easy! She also has a location in Grayslake and my devotion to her is real I drive over an hour sometimes when I'm coming from the city to see her just for a session! And I never mind because it's so worth it and makes a difference in how I feel. I promise you will not regret seeing her and starting your journey to better health and happiness! :) read more

What a great experience! I have seen Lori a number of times now and she is very professional and informative...I have learned so much about myself since seeing her.... ....I feel so much better after each session and Lori does a great job to make me feel comfortable.... ....highly recommended! read more

Excellent care. Lori listens to your concerns and take care of everything. The scheduling is easy and the office is located very conveniently. If you are looking for a great colonics experience, that's the place. read more

Great service, great detox. Feel like a new person. 10 years younger. Lori the best. read more

Recently experiencing a bout of IBD I went searching for a local colon therapist. After reading YELP reviews I felt comfortable making an appointment with Lori. Her professionalism and skill were at a very high level. From the begining Lori made me feel relaxed and at ease. Her equipment and surroundings are top notch. Having experienced many colonics and owning a home unit, I will say with much authority....Go see Lori...You will feel lighter, energized, and leave with a big Smile read more

Lori is knowledge about colonics. I believe she could answer any question about how the process works. She could however use some training in customer service. She comes across as stern and irritated. The visit was sort of like being sent to the principal's office with her trying to help you with a most personal matter while holding a ruler in one hand ready to spank. That was the feeling I got. Very uncomfortable. The office was very uncomfortable overall. Similar to a house built in the 70's that's never been updated and not cleaned much. Cobwebs, dusty old objects, a trash bag in the middle of the lobby floor with something in it, and overall things in disarray. It was also uncomfortable to be told to leave shoes at the door and walk around in socks while she and another person wore shoes. Not very sanitary. Suggestions: Nice salons offer disposal slippers where no shoes are permitted. White robes would be a plus. The office could use about $5K in updates to bring it up to date so it's not like someone's basement. Update the interior doors, trims, floor boards, paint, and remove all clutter. The office only has 4 rooms. Cleaning service in the area runs for only ~$30 per labor hour. The small square footage could be cleaned weekly for ~1-2 labor hours. Use bottled water vs old glasses for customers. Change to a customer-focus: make the environment comfortable to relax. Change the attitude to more friendly and comforting for such an intimate process. Try reading something funny or try smiling before seeing each client. With proper updates she could also upsell products from companies she partners with as part of exit advice to customers regarding detoxing, etc. But the décor needs to be pleasant for anyone to want to look around and consider. I believe Lori has knowledge in the area needed to be very successful. She just needs to improve the things mentioned. read more

I had a somewhat okay experience for my initial appointment so I decided to give her another try. So I schedule my appointment for the following week for my second and third appointment. Little to my surprise I got sick 2 days before the appointment. I had a really bad cold (I had congestion and I couldn't stop coughing). I informed her that I didn't want to get her sick or her clients and if I can reschedule my first appointment she said it was fine. She gave me a hard time after I wanted to reschedule my second appointment (The appointment were back to back appmts). Per her exact words "I understand 1 or 2 times to switch or reschedule but this has been quite a bit of rearranging...." Mind you that I gave her more than 24hr notice about the rescheduling and she knew I was sick. She doesn't care about my wellbeing or her own clients. Here I thought I was the "customer/client". Well I cancel all my appointments all together but I already paid for 3 sessions that I didn't receive. Lori didn't apologize, she didn't response back nor did she refund my money. This is not the first time Lori has done this read "Eboni W" review because I wish I would have read it before I went to this place. I wish I could rate this place 0 star. Don't waste your time or money at this place. read more

Felt very comfortable with Lori especially having this my first time there and first time having a colonic. Highly recommend to try a colonic if you have not yet done so and if Northbrook is convenient location Lori makes you feel comfortable and it's a great place with respect of your privacy. read more

I am brand new to colon hydrotherapy and am so grateful to have started my journey with someone as talented and gifted as Lori. Lori's personality is full of humor & wit and she will put anyone at ease quickly. I never thought I would use the term "relaxing" to describe a colonic experience, but I can genuinely say Lori made that a reality. I was so at ease and relaxed during the entire hour solely because of Lori's gentle technique and clear expertise. I was quite apprehensive during my first visit, as I had never had any type of treatment before, but Lori spent extra time carefully explaining every single step with me to make sure I was comfortable before we began. You can tell immediately upon meeting her that she possess a natural gift to heal and help those suffering - and truly connects with each person that walks through the door. Thanks Lori for making such a big difference in my overall health! read more

Lori is an outstanding Colon Hydrotherapist! She's funny, personable, competent and extremely knowledgeable. Whenever I visit her, I feel healthier and squeaky clean. She motivates me to improve my diet and take care of my Billion dollar body not just on the outside but on the INSIDE as well. Sometimes we feed our pets a better diet than ourselves - which one is more valuable?? From the start Lori has been organized and focused. I've yet to do business with someone so enthusiastic about her customers so that she can schedule you as early as 5AM so that you can still make it to work and go about your day! I wish you the best in all aspects of your life/business! read more

I have had awesome results! My energy level has improved. I am sleeping better threw the night. I'm more dedicated now than ever to eating healthy.
