I have been here multiple times, and have seen Diane and Philomena. Both are so knowledgeable, warm, and friendly. Amazing experience every single time. Highly recommend! read more

The best preventive treatment for any ailment! Practitioners are wonderfully skilled and knowledgeable! read more

Lovely caring well informed women! The best I've had anywhere in Manhattan. During chemo I had to have two a week so I've tried them all. I've found a home! read more

I have visited Pure Colonics at least 3 times and always enjoy my experience. Philomena has amazing bedside manner and always makes me feel comfortable. This can be a very awkward experience for so many but Philomena has a way of making this feel as normal as any spa or medical service. I recently came to Pure Colonics after coming back from a trip where the water wasn't safe to drink and the food is different from what I normally eat, including cruise ship food. I felt off even after coming back and I knew I needed a colonic. After this visit, I felt so much better and like my usual self. I highly recommend this place to every person who asks and I will continue to come back. Thanks again, Philomena! read more

PURE COLONICS is a super amazing place. Today, I had an appointment last minute and after several colonics in my past my experience today has made it the BEST experience ever. Diane was kind and quite knowledgeable that made me feel at ease. The place is small but quite intimate that helps you relax. I will certainly be back again. read more

Been going to Pure Colonics for years. Great staff.. Very knowledgable in their field. I enjoy talking with them. Always feel great after my appointment. Colonics are a very intimate experience so the therapist is extremely important. read more

For whatever reason, I'd been having a hard time going to the bathroom. Maybe once every other day. For the record, I am an active runner, I walk my dog two hours a day, I'm not overweight, not sedentary, don't smoke or drink. I tried everything you can think of: warm lemon water with honey and ginger, warm prune juice, cold prune juice, room temperature prune juice, prunes (anywhere between 6 and 20 YES TWENTY), ginger, asparagus, apples, bananas, gummy probiotics, smooth move tea, milk of magnesia. Nothing worked except for once when I had TWO smooth move tea bags in one cup I did go quite a bit the next morning, but I really didn't want to have to rely on having two smooth move tea bags every day. So I felt a bit desperate coming to Pure Colonics for the first time, which I honestly just found on Yelp. I was nervous it wouldn't work just like all the other things that hadn't. I met with Gayatri who was so nice, calming, and easy-going. I'd had colonics before where they just leave you in the room alone to fend for yourself but this is not like that. Gayatri was with me the whole time, massaging my stomach and giving me all sorts of great advice on nutrition, diet, mental health, even finance. She gave me book recommendations, acted almost like a therapist (in a good way that was welcoming), and I left there with a bunch of good info. Obviously it's more expensive than smooth move tea, but I think it was a good bang for my buck. In the five days since my colonic, I've gone once OR TWICE (!) a day, which is crazy for me. I'm down two pounds. I feel lighter. The only thing I've changed about my diet is that I've upped my fruit intake during the early part of the day, but other than that, I think it was the colonic that got things moving again. This is a nice, clean, well-run place where I can tell they truly care. And IT WORKS. Thank you Pure Colonics, and thank you everyone for reading this long post about my pooping. read more

My first ever colonic, and these ladies are great. So down to earth, comforting, nice, and skilled. From my first phone call to my last "release" I give them 5 stars. Diane is lovely, a nurse for decades, and great at her job with a fantastic bedside manner. read more

I had never had a colonic and will be returning very soon. I felt very comfortable working with a professional and Diane was talking with me making sure I felt comfortable and understood the process. The physical location made me feel very serene. I had a great experience. read more

Excellent practice. got an appointment right away. have seen both practitioners. both are professional, thorough, fun to talk to during the procedure, really listen; they are truly holistic as they look at the whole person. they are ethical, don't overcharge, don't encourage more treatments than necessary, the place is well run, they return texts right away etc etc. i can't say enough about this practice. if you have problems with elimination, go to pure colonics. frankly if i were a millionaire, i'd go 2x/week forever (it's unfortunately not covered by insurance -- not just this practice but colonics in general) so i go when there's a need. feel great every time! read more

I was putting this off for a long time. The last one I had from another place didn't seem efficacious. I sit here now and couldn't feel lighter and better. This was the best experience I could ask for. Don't hesitate and get The impurities out. I'm motivated to eat better too. Ask for Philomina. Also she has a great energy. Her presence is healing within itself. read more

Best colonic experience I've ever had. Philomena is wonderful and a true healer. I felt deeply comfortable during our session. Her knowledge is amazing and her energy is amazing. I have never felt more at ease before, during and after a colonic than with Philomena. I can't wait to go back. Magic! read more

This place is amazing I left my experience feeling enlightened vibrant and my spirit and body felt cleansed she's a wonderful human being it shines thru and there's no pain during her colonic she's great at what she does I honestly left this place wanting to cry and not knowing why and it's because I was so damn happy you have to come here and I'm definitely going to come back read more

Oh my goodness !!! I am SO very grateful I found this wonderful jewel of a health oasis in the upper west side!! Colonic Hydrotherapy is one of the best things we can do for our health and I left feeling that Philomena Papirnik was put on this earth to help us realize our goal. Philomena is a gentle, loving spirit with a terrific 'in the moment presence' . If you go in feeling serious and intense you will go out dancing, taking life lighter as you feel so much lighter & happier. Do yourself a favor, pick up the phone to make an appointment. You'll be very glad you did. Jill W read more

Philomena is like no other. Here you will be met with kindness, warmth and humor. I would not go anywhere else.

I just had my first appointment at PURE Colonics and it changed me. Finding out I was lactose intolerant lead me to change my eating habits, but I felt like there was a lot of... um... "baggage" that I could get rid of. Philomena, who expertly and gingerly conducted my session, made it such a personal experience. She is a wonderfully understanding and down-to-earth person who was very sensitive to my needs the whole time. The procedure was about 45 minutes with time before and after to comfortably prepare. The immediate effects are staggering, I notice I feel less bloated and my stomach is actually flatter! What a bonus! Philomena - thank you for doing what you do. So many people can benefit from this procedure and your expertise in dietary health. I will be putting the lessons you taught me into practice, and of course, I will be back! read more

Philomena is one of the most amazing women I've ever met. I have had 3 colonics with her so far and each one has helped me feel closer to healing. She has a lot of insight yet understands that everyone's body is different and does not impose one specific lifestyle, but instead encourages you to listen to your body's needs. She gives great suggestions, advice, and support. I have done at-home enemas before, so the process of the colonic wasn't completely foreign to me. However, these colonics have been much more effective in helping me relieve constipation. You will be given a gown to change into and you will lay on your left side to have the tube put into your rectum. You will then lay on your back while Philomena starts the water. Completely pain-free and quite soothing once you get used to the idea of what is happening. Philomena has no problem stopping if you feel uncomfortable for some reason or like you have to sit on the toilet. I recommended my mom visit Philomena as well and my mom says she feels so much lighter in her body. I highly recommend Pure Colonics. read more

I've been going for colonics for over 15 years, and this is the best I've ever received. Philomena knows how to manipulate and unblock my body. I buy a package every few months to keep things balanced. I was going through chemotherapy for 4 months from Dec-April, and Philomena and her team helped me emotionally and physically through it. Not only did it speed the recovery from the hideous toxins every 2 weeks, but her genuine support through it all, and her continuing support, is what makes this place so special and totally unique. read more

I had an intuition to look for colonic hydrotherapists in NYC when I couldn't find anyone in my area. I booked an appointment with Philomena purely based on her Yelp reviews, and it was great! I felt completely safe and secure with her. She made me laugh many times during our session. Now I try to come back for an appointment with her whenever I'm in town for something else. I recommend her to anyone looking for a very experienced, welcoming practitioner with a great sense of humor, who will really put you at ease while she clears years of old shit from your body! read more

Wonderful experience. Very clean space, warm and knowledgeable staff. Simple process.

The most Selfless person I've encountered in this life time. May an abundance of good health and wellness fall upon you, simply for all the health and wellness you promote in the life of strangers like myself. read more

Amazing ,great there's no words to explain her ...book an appointment and you'll understand

I am so happy I found this place. I never had a colonic that was this easy, Philomena is a sweet lady that will make you feel comfortable - I felt as I If I went to see catch up with a friend or something. Colonics should be done carefully and I have gotten sick at other places because the techniques they use. I find this place to be the best and safest. read more

First time visit and Diane was great. Very personable and friendly. We had good conversation which helped me be more comfortable and relaxed and I actually much better and significantly lighter when it was done. She didn't try to sell me anything or pressure me to come back. Just told me to see how I feel and determine if I want to do it again. I'd definitely go back to her and recommend d her to anyone looking for a reputable place for a colonic. It was $150 and as part of my self care I think it was worth it. read more

you know that feeling when you take an amazing poop and it feels like you completely emptied out the colon? most likely beer shits from the night before? THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER. this was my first colonic and i was a little anxious at first, but walked away so happy. Philomena is the best. she has a great personality and instantly makes you feel comfortable. she explains the process to you and then gets right down to business. there's no pain at all, just a slight pressure when the speculum is inserted but then you quickly forget that it's even there. i strongly recommend that you watch and see what is coming out. i was coming off a six day juice fast, so i knew that everything coming out is shit that had been in there for awhile. i don't even want to for how long (but let's be honest, i really really do). she also worked on me for close to the entire hour long session, which i think is different from other places that say the actual procedure only takes 30 minutes despite the hour appointment. Philomena also does not pressure you to schedule your next appointment or buy any packages, which is fantastic and unexpected. nobody likes getting pressured into buying things. i walked out of there feeling great and with a big ol grin on my face, not because i felt "lighter" or "detoxified" or "cleansed" but because i saw what came out and just knowing it wasn't in my body anymore was good enough for me. it's a bit pricey at $130, but you pay for her experience, knowledge and professionalism. totally worth it. read more

Simply the best colonic in NYC! Very thorough process with colon massage to ensure a deep, rejuvenating cleanse. I really recommend coming here instead of the Angel of Water System. Will be back for sure! read more

I found Philomenia on Yelp and am so grateful I did! She is a truly magical woman who radiates warmth and compassion... I was a bit nervous to have my first colonic but Philomenia made me feel at ease immediately. The colonic was even better than I expected---I had just come off a three day juice cleanse and was left feeling a bit underwhelmed by it (I'll take my cocktails and steak regime anyday over that nonsense) But thankfully I ended it with the colonic and it truly was the highlight of the whole experience. I finally got that "aaaaah pure and clean" feeling that my friends all raved about. Can't say enough positive things about the experience and especially Philomenia. Book your appt now---you will be so happy you did! Hooray! read more

Philomena is great. Her humor, care and professionalism made for a painless, relaxing session for what otherwise could be an awkward experience. There is no pressure to buy supplements and book multiple sessions. After three sessions myself I am feeling much better and plan to return in the future. read more

I have a medical condition which requires me to rely on weekly colonics in order to avoid constantly trying to control my digestive system with alternating medications. My Gastroenterologist recommended i try colonics, I tried a few different practitioners before finding Philomena. She is by far in a different league than any other person I tried.Philomena has a gift for knowing what my body needs on any given day. She also has been more successful in recommending dietary guidance than any doctor or dietician i have been to. Philomena has a great personality and great sense of humor. Colonics is an art, and it you want the best, try Philomena. read more

Philomena was fantastic! She made me feel very comfortable in what is an uncomfortable situation. I felt so great afterwards, just like she said I would. I will definitely be back! read more

Philomena is amazing. Her technique is simple and genuine...No contraptions, no fancy lights or Netflix. This is an intimate process and I feel you need a practioner there to facilitate a effective and comfortable session. I will definitely be returning to PURE Colonics. read more

Pure Colonics is an excellent stop if you are new to the world of colon irrigation. I have worked with Philomena twice. In both meetings, she has made me feel extremely comfortable. All in all, great experience! read more

It was my first colonic ever and I'm so happy I went to Pure Colonics. Philomena's energy is very inviting and I instantly felt comfortable and at ease with her right away. I really like her holistic approach to cleansing the colon (refraining from using pressured water) and allows the water to fill the colon naturally. We spoke for a few minutes about my issues and then began the colonic which was about 45 mins. During she fills the colon continuously and massages your stomach to get things moving. I appreciated her sense of humor, it makes talking about your bowls much easier! She also told me how much waste I had accumulated and was releasing which I was happy to hear because it's nice to know I'm getting it out! She was very insightful with suggestions for better digestion and changes to make to my diet. She told me to make some dietary changes before coming back and seeing how I feel. Pure Colonics isn't some glossy place that resembles a doctors office or an examination room with lots of marketing and packages and plans. It's very down to earth and cozy and clean. The room has posters with information about our Chakras, books on natural healing and soft music playing. It's very grounding. If these kinds of things resonate with you then Pure Colonics is for you! I will definitely be back :) Thanks Philomena! read more

This was my first colonic and a pretty great experience thanks to Philomena. She made sure I was relaxed and the experience was pleasant. I found myself talking her ear off the whole time! I would definitely come back again. read more

Philomena literally saved my 16 year old daughter. My daughter has always had constipation but it was fairly manageable. Over the past year she wouldn't go for over a week at a time. Of course we tried every OTC aid, including traditional and homeopathic laxatives, enemas, dietary changes, etc. She had a myriad of tests done and was diagnosed with colonic inertia. After visiting a G.I. motility specialist, he basically said we could try a drug that hasn't been used in the under 18 age group and potentially has serious side effects, or she would have to have her colon removed. After a suggestion on a G.I. motility blog to try a colonic for at least temporary relief, I found Philomena. As a traditional physician myself, I was skeptical, but we were desperate. Over the course of the year Philomena was able to provide relief, even though temporary for my daughter. Eventually, my daughter's colon somewhat "awakened" and although she still has issues, her colonic motility has improved and is manageable. Philomena was gentle, calming, and I believe God put her on this earth to do what she does. There is no one like her--my daughter has tried other therapists when she's come home from school and have had ineffective, unpleasant experiences. We are so very thankful for her. read more

Dr Quinn made sure I was great and made me feel comfortable as well. I also learned a lot while there talking to her. Definitely would be back. read more

This was an amazing experience. Philomena made everything amazing. She was kind, care and funny as you know what. After everything was fine I feel a lot lighter and had more energy. I will be coming back again. It's worth every bit of money. read more

Philomena is absolutely a wonderful person, she is a wealth of knowledge and experience, and if she can't make you laugh... well no one can! Very Professional, clean and kind environment. PURE Colonics... for a better You! read more

I am CURED! Thanks to a mix of the pill, diet, and poor life choices, I had been terribly backed up and made me so uncomfortable for two whole months! A friend recommended that I try colon hydrotherapy. Philomena is my angel! She kept me calm (distracted) and fully informed of everything that was happening - all good stuff! She is hysterical and caring at the same time! This was my first visit and I will be back. I feel 100000000 times better/lighter/happier! Very comfortable atmosphere and clean setting! I was texting and recommending this place to all my friends the second the tube was removed! read more

Iv been to Philamena twice and both times Iv been to here she's made me feel comfortable and very at ease while doing the process. Shes very helpful even gave me recommendations to other professionals and went out her way to make sure I was able to contact them. She's great and I recommended her to all read more
