"My whole life I've suffered from chronic stomach pain, rampant food allergies, and an overall stressful relationship with my digestive tract. I found a cloud of irritation and lethargy looming over most of what I did on a day to day basis regardless of the remedies I'd tried.
Though colonics had been something many people I'd talked to had less than desirable experiences with, I had exhausted so many other avenues that I was determined to try it out for myself. It was through Yelp.com and customer reviews that first helped me see that Chakra 17 offered a much more unique and effective service than what is widely offered. Considering I've been back to see Alec every month ever since my first session more than 2 years ago, I feel strongly that my initial impression was exactly on point.
What strikes me most impressive about Chakra 17 is their ability to blend a pristinely clean, professional and knowledgeable practice with a personable, kind, and uniquely nurturing intention.
Because this gem of a service, and its most lovely Alec and Kristen, my life has been on a constant evolution back to the center-point of my truest, most radiant self. My earlier digestive stresses have sloughed off and I experience a more clear and joyful experience of my life. I'm more thankful than any amount of praise, online or otherwise, is capable of conveying.
A visit to their oasis is one that I recommend with all of my heart to everyone... Especially those in need, or in search of, discovering their truest gift of finding true self."

"In August 2010 I did the 3 day juice cleanse from Blue Print Cleanse and they recommend a colonic in order to help rid the body of toxins brought out by the cleanse. Having never considered a colonic before or even knew what that process was even about, I did some research. There was a lot of information out there, however, I still found the idea to be a bit intimidating. When I called Chakra 17, Alec was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my embarrassing questions in a caring manner. Likewise, on my first visit I was welcomed in a comfortable, clean environment and Alec clearly explained the process ensuring that the my first colonic was beneficial yet not uncomfortable or awkward as I had originally imagined.
My first visit left me feeling like a whole new person- I felt lighter, less bloated, and most importantly, more connected to my body. You don't realize how amazing you can feel when you aren't so bloated! Since then I've been going regularly and every session has been great. I'm not only ridding my body of toxic waste, I'm learning so much about how my diet impacts my mood and thoughts. I've also left with a better understanding of how stress and emotions play a role on the digestive system. This information is invaluable and has seriously changed the way I think about food and stress.
Kristen is an extremely talented practitioner and I'm so grateful to have been introduced to the wonderful world of colonics at Chakra 17. Kristen is a loving and compassionate person who enjoys helping her clients get on the path to feeling fabulous and her work is clearly evident of that. If you are thinking about colon hydrotherapy, give her a call, she will take great care of you. Here's to your health!"

"As I approached middle age, I found myself with two very specific health issues that were becoming more and more problematic in my day to day life: Attention Deficit Disorder and high cholesterol. The problem ceased to become the actual conditions, but rather, the two medications that I had been on for years to keep the conditions in check: Ritalin and Lipitor. The Ritalin made me feel edgy all day and then always followed with a depressing crash at night, and the Lipitor was negatively affecting my liver numbers over time. I wanted to get off of these very powerful prescription meds. Also, to add fuel to the fire, I'm a recovering alcoholic with an addict's genetic and mental code (read: massive sweet tooth and strong cravings for everything bad). I started seeing a naturopath doctor, who, based upon my blood work, recommended to me a radically different diet than I was currently eating. It was a strict anti-inflammation diet, and I had a list of pretty much everything that I couldn't eat, and very little that I could along with the recommendation of "maybe" pursuing colonic hydrotherapy and cleansing to kick-start my metabolism in the right direction. Through some internet research, I found a couple of trendy "cleanse" products, purchased one, and found Chakra 17 online along with a number of great recommendations for it.
I did a couple of cleanses, and always put off colonic hydrotherapy for all the common reasons that people put off good decisions. The cleanses (usually expensive things in many jars that tasted like crap along with handfuls supplements) were all really hard to follow, and seemed to me more like fad diets that didn't offer any long-term lessons for living rather than anything that would stick. I'd stick to the cleanse while it lasted, then I'd yo-yo back into my old habits a while after I'd completed it. I decided to give Chakra 17 a try.
Comfortable and friendly combined with state of the art hygienic practices were
"I have been a client at Chakra 17 for more than seven years. Colonic hydrotherapy can be a life-changing experience that can help you to restore and maintain optimal health. It cleans and detoxifies your colon, liver, kidney, and lymphatic systems and is helpful in the prevention and treatment of many common ailments. If you have digestive problems, constipation, low energy and vitality, irritability, skin problems or fatigue, you may benefit from cleansing your elimination system.
Chakra 17 provides an oasis of rest and renewal in my very busy life. I have had colonics with each of the Chakra 17 colonic hygienists, Alec and Kristen. I have found them to be caring, trustworthy and respectful healing professionals. Regular colonics have helped me to let go of many things in my life that no longer served me, both physically and emotionally. I highly recommend Chakra 17 to you if you want to achieve better health on all levels."

"It is difficult to fully convey what awaits you at Chakra 17 because the experience is completely centered around you as an individual and therefore, I'd imagine, unique to each person's experience. However, I can list a few things that I know for sure:
1)You, your body, your dreams and your soul will be treated with the utmost respect and dignity...(let's be honest, they will probably offer you more respect and dignity than you offer yourself.)
2) You will feel safer than you've ever felt in your life. And listened to. And healed.
3) You will be able to ask questions about the process and will be given thoughtful, informative answers.
4) You will be able to ask questions after you've left, too.
5) You and your body will be able to set the pace of your healing.
6) You will experience an exchange of all that harms you for acceptance, cheerfulness, and freedom.
7) You will be shocked, and I mean shocked, to discover afterward how many of your day to day experiences were actually being affected by the issues addressed at Chakra 17.
Go and be blessed!"

"I have been going to Chakra 17 for the past 3 years for colonics and it has been the best colonic experience I have ever had!
First of all, getting colonics seasonally or more frequently during cleanses or detox periods is in itself one of the BEST things I have found to support my health and well being.
Secondly, going to Chakra 17 colonics is as sweet as it can be, and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. Their gravity style colonic system I find to be gentler, more effective and overall superior to other styles of colon hydrotherapy and other colon hydro-therapists. Alec and Kristen are gentle, knowledgeable and genuinely kind and loving people.
I have a health coaching practice, and excitedly recommend Chakra 17 to my clients, and to anyone who is ready to take their health and well being to the next level!
It really is a wonderful experience and I always leave feeling like I just did something really great for myself!"

"For those of you who have already taken the first steps towards self empowerment by striving for better health and wellness on your own terms, Chakra 17 should and must be a part of your program! To be truly healthy we must detoxify and nowhere can you be more supported and assisted with this deep and intimate process than at Chakra 17. I have been using colon hydrotherapy for many years from Alaska to Texas, and Chakra 17 is the gold standard of cleansing and support beyond the initial hydrotherapy. This is a family of healers who take their work to such a high level of professionalism and personal care. Alec and Kristin are deeply committed to helping people on their healing journey. They make a potentially unpleasant experience incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating, which allows for the release of toxic materials, thoughts, and emotions. This is the difference between a good colonic and a GREAT colonic.
At Chakra 17 the words great and gratitude are what comes to mind instantly for me. The setting is welcoming, warm, comfortable and immaculately clean. I can't say enough good things about this place! If you are at all considering a colonic I say look no further, this is where you want to go."

"I have been a client of Chakra 17 for approximately 12 years. I initially came to Chakra 17 with many digestive issues. I had tried one prescription medication and many herbs and diet suggestions from a Naturopath. I ultimately chose not to take prescription medication for the rest of my life to manage symptoms of digestive unrest.
Instead, it was important to me to find the root cause of the symptoms and to cure or heal myself. I started out doing colonics weekly and did so for a year. I then moved to twice a month and am now doing them once a month as maintenance. I have learned much about how food affects our overall system and utilize colonics as a way to help keep things unobstructed. Diet changes and colonics have changed my life. I am now much more healthy and am more in tune with the states of my physical health and how to support it.
The hydrotherapists are compassionate, intuitive, and skilled. I always know that I will have a smooth and thorough experience. The room is comfortable and clean. The atmosphere is calm and healing. I look forward to going each month. I recommend their facility for anyone who is looking to learn more about their digestive and overall health, and who is looking to get on, or augment a path of overall health."
