Since the opening in October 2003, the D’Avignon Digestive Health Centre has specialized in colon hydrotherapy and nutritional therapy. Given the enormous amount of information available on these and other holistic healing methods, we take seriously our responsibility to educate and inform our clients with current, reliable and practical information for achieving better health and well-being.
Of all the complementary health modalities, colon hydrotherapy is likely to be the most misunderstood. Given that colon hydrotherapy deals with a body function that many of us find uncomfortable to discuss, this is not surprising. The vast majority of its detractors, however, have no direct experience with colon hydrotherapy, while its strongest proponents are those who can personally attest to its safety and effectiveness.
After my son was born in 2002, I signed on with a personal trainer to return to my previous level of fitness and lose excess pregnancy weight. While I already understood the importance of regular physical activity, I began to learn about nutrition from my trainer. As time progressed, I became more knowledgeable about what constitutes healthy eating and how poor food choices can lead to poor health. My trainer introduced me to the concepts of whole foods, clean eating, and holistic wellness. Motivated to learn more, I enrolled at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, graduating with honors as a Certified Nutritional Practitioner in 2007.
After working at the centre since 2008, it is with great pleasure that I take on the role as director. I absolutely love connecting with people. As the Centre evolves, it is my hope to continue to strive to meet the needs of our clients as both educators and service providers. Each member of our team brings a strong commitment to helping others that is matched by their considerable knowledge and skill. I invite you to meet our dedicated team in the following pages. You may find that their stories bear similarities to your own; the fact that we as practitioners have had to contend with our own health challenges has made us all the more attentive, understanding and focused on helping others restore and maintain optimal digestive health.
