She seems to have lost her patience over the years and answering simple questions appears to be a chore. I'm sure she means well, but good customer service really requires more than just knowledge, it requires patience and understanding.

I have been going to Refresh for a couple years now and LOVE Sandra and Krystal. If I could respond…read moreto reviews on here I would absolutely without a doubt call 'Jane G' out on her BS... From the first day I came into the clinic I was treated with respect. I bought a package so each session was less expensive. Nobody pushed it on me.... It just made financial sense to do it that way. I was referred to Refresh by a good friend of mine who is a fitness instructor and has also gotten great results from Refresh. I have since then referred a few more friends that had nothing but positive things to say about the 'mother and daughter' who own the clinic so I don't know what side of the bed you woke up on Jane, but it is very unfortunate you need to attack a small family run business they way that you did. I have never gotten sick from a colonic. Money money money?? YEAH everything has a price tag does it not? LOL.. do you go to the grocery store and complain about the bill when you get your groceries? This is a BUSINESS.. We all pay the same.. There is a difference between constructive criticism and being just absolutely rude. Disgusting. When you say the people on here are all her friends... MAYBE... Because the 'mother daughter' are not these 'rude' people you have suggested they are. I in fact have become friends with Sandra over the last few years and I would never say I got a nasty impression from her or her daughter.... so get a grip woman, maybe you got sick cuz you were off your meds who knows.. I highly recommend Refresh. "Jane's" review is a joke I actually laughed.

Colon therapy from Archer truly saved my life 30 years ago . I woud not have survived to my 84…read moreyears without his care. By the time I learned about colonics and found Archer, my system was very blocked after a lifetime of constipation . For about 10 years I had colonics from Archer two or three times a week. Eventually he retrained my system to function well enough that I could travel the world, but everywhere I went I needed and sought out a colon therapist. No one anywhere ever, even now, can do a treatment for me as he does. No one else knows how to massage, or even realizes they should massage the abdomen to get the stubborn stuff out. I always need about 1and 1/2 hour treatment. Archer tunes into the particular and different body needs of his patients and serves as required. I now live in a hot country where my system functions well after being retrained by Archer. I know i would already be dead if I had not found and accessed Archer's treatment. He is one of the world's special healers.

I started doing colonics for a few years now and I've been to a few different places. The previous place I went to had one practitioner who did a soft massage, which was good but I find the Archer being stronger was able to really get in there and massage your organs. The only thing I didn't like was that you cannot see your releases, which I'm accustomed to. Some people might not care about that, and it's not really necessary just a preference. Overall, it's good to do package deals as you can go further with more sessions.

(See original review: http://www.yelp.ca/biz/natural-health-hydrotherapy-vancouver) One of their competitors, Lavar Spa, is also effective and convenient, but their colonic system doesn't feel as gentle. This is very gentle, while also being effective--I can see the results but don't have to feel them. (There's a mirror positioned above you if you want to enjoy the view.) I chose to mostly close my eyes and rest, as she expertly tended to me with precise massage work on my abdomen. Unlike most other places of this type, you'll never need to be concerned about being prodded with upselling while you've...well, literally already been prodded! This office in the Hycroft Medical Building is just as convenient as their old location, although I wish there was a washroom inside. There's one right around the corner though, as there is on every floor in the building. This is probably the best value for colon cleansing in Vancouver. In addition, they often have promotions via Groupon for new customers. I recommend this service for anyone with gastrointestinal issues or anyone who'd just like to be extra clean afterwards.

I visited Inner Garden Health recently as a practice subject for a new therapist being trained by…read moreSue Wilde. It was a remarkably pleasant experience and one of the best colonic treatments I have received -- and I have received many. The trainee therapist Paul was perfect in his technique. His calm manner would put any new client at ease and he used the equipment perfectly. Sue checked in a couple of times to make sure everything was OK, but her visits were really unnecessary. No one should be embarrassed by the procedure, there is almost total privacy. Clients wear special shorts for the treatment; these shorts have an opening secured by velcro which provide discreet access for inserting the speculum. If there is anything to complain about, it would be the small rooms at the Fir Street location (barely enough space for the bed and the equipment) and the lack of a proper waiting room. I recommend IGH highly, both for first-timers and for more experienced people like myself.
