I bought a groupon for a colon hydrotherapy session after a friend had a good experience at this location. Unfortunately, I found out later that she went to a different person for her session.
The consultation for the session started out good. Debi Boyle explained all of the importance of good nutrition and the benefits of colon hydrotherapy. After this it was all downhill. I will break down this dreadful experience in terms of sanitation, privacy, discomfort and tact.
Sanitation: There was no cover on the bed; I had to lay down on the fake leather material that everyone else had been on expelling waste on throughout the day. The tube that is used during the hydrotherapy session did not look to be entirely disposable. I was offered no explanation as to the sanitation of the tube, so I am left to believe that it is wiped off (or not) and reused. Whether this is true or not, I cannot confirm, but what I can confirm is that there was no information provided regarding the sanitary practices of this procedure. The wet wipes placed in the room for after the session were in a plastic container that looked to be dirty. I can only imagine the number of bacteria crawling on the container.
Privacy: Debi Boyle returned to the room during my session no less than 3 times. Each time she would tell me something different about the hydrotherapy whilst I was undergoing something that should have been a very private experience. The muscles in my colon were twisting and contracting while she took her time to explain something that I was absolutely not listening to. She handed me a large vibrator to "massage my colon" during one of her visits to the room. Debi took her time to show me how to speed up and slow down the vibrator and proceeded to explain the benefits of massaging the colon during the hydrotherapy session. Meanwhile, water was backing up in my system and causing me extreme discomfort. I was not given the option for her to not enter the room during the session.
Discomfort: I was told that there should be no pain during the colon hydrotherapy. Perhaps others go through this experience without discomfort, but to explain that there will be no pain during an experience such as this was an absolute misrepresentation of the procedure. If cramping like you are having spastic, parasitic diarrhea is not discomfort, then I don't know what is. Every 30 seconds or less, your colon is contracting and going through spasms that feel far from pleasant. Couple that with Debi returning to the room multiple times, making it near impossible to relax, and you have a nightmare of an experience for 45 plus minutes.
Tact: Debi Boyle was polite prior to the session. Throughout her visits in the room, she maintained a chipper, polite attitude as if I were in there getting a massage and should be enjoying the entire experience. After the session, Debi sat down with me and tried to push me into buying more sessions. When I politely declined, saying that I would like to see how I feel in the days after the session, she changed her demeanor. She then informed me that I would feel no difference at all after the session (which made me question what happened to the benefits she had explained when I first arrived and why one would ever do such a thing without receiving benefits). She attempted to belittle me for not wanted to return and guilt me into purchasing one of the packages offered. I again, politely declined. She went on to attempt to sell me some type of pill that would cleanse my body of toxins. I also declined. Her polite demeanor totally disappeared and I was sent on my way.
Needless to say, I will never return to this place and I would suggest that others avoid it as well. A colon hydrotherapy session may not always be a bad experience, but if you book one with Debi Boyle, you are sure to have one of the worst experiences of your life, with her checking in frequently to see to it that it is indeed as uncomfortable as possible. read more
