Review from Brian R.
7/6/2011 1 Check-in Here
A colonic irrigation is not something one would usually brag about, but I had a good experience at the Tummy Temple and thought I should express my opinion.
Their office is in a residential neighborhood, a little off the beaten path. The hydrotherapist I met with, Heidi, was very friendly and seemed well informed on the topic of digestive health. For those who haven't done one of these, come'on, you pretty much know what to expect. And it did not miss its mark. So while the procedure itself was not that pleasant, Heidi had a soothing voice, and soft music played in the background, so it was about as relaxing as getting pumped full of water can be.
Afterwards, I was surprised at how little discomfort I felt. She informed me that some people feel a bit exhausted but I felt fine.Comment from Tim Z. of The Tummy Temple 8/30/2011

Usually I wouldn't discuss such matters of another human being sticking a tube up my butt and flushing me out, but I have to say, my recent colonic at Tummy Temple was pretty awesome.
I've been to this place before a couple years ago and I had a not-so-great experience. I didn't quite gel with the Therapist and, well, it just didn't go quite right. Fast forward to 2011 and I kicked off the year with a new raw vegan diet and attitude to boot. The only thing holding me back was this lead brick in my stomach I just couldn't seem to get rid of as well as a few other digestive disorders. Being the highest rated place to get your inners hosed out, I decided to try Tummy Temple again, but this time, I went with one of the senior staff. I could go into detail, but I want you to enjoy your lunch, so all I will say is that Heidi Nebel Oschner rocks. Not only is she a great hydrotherapist, but she is REAL. I like her sense of humor, viewpoint on the whole world of naturapathy and her thoroughness in her job. And best of all, I feel so light and ready to conquer the world. THANKS HEIDI!!!!!Comment from Tim Z. of The Tummy Temple 8/30/2011

I hadn't realized that I never reviewed the Tummy Temple!
Let's start this off by being blunt - if you are a reader of my Yelps - we have immediately become close friends after you read this review. You suddenly know intimate details about me that the average person doesn't. I will now consider whether or not to delete my photo from my profile :)
So -- COLONICS. Yes. A tube in the rear. How the heck did I get here?!
I had heard a long time ago that colonics were a great way to rid excess "matter" from your body. It's a good cleansing method, a way to drop a few lbs (of stuff you don't need up there anyway) and let's face it - I'm up for new adventures all the time! I thought at the very least my experience would be an amusing story.
I had just moved to Seattle at the time and was feeling comfortable enough to discuss the possibility of the procedure with a co-worker/friend of mine. She was thrilled that I was curious about the procedure because she was too. We decided that not only we would go, we would encourage our significant others to come along for the fun too. What's funnier than 4 people sharing their hydrotherapy experiences on a car ride home?
I do some on-line research about colonics and I'm intrigued. Then I Google around for places in Seattle and find the Tummy Temple. Little did I know that just 6 miles from where I live lies one of the BEST hydrotherapy offices in the country. Their website is EXTREMELY informative on the procedure, what to expect, what you can gain from the experience, etc. It's totally pushed me over the edge and I call and make an appointment.
COLONIC DAY: I admit - I'm nervous. I find that the exact body part that I'll have to expose during this appointment is quite literally my most private part. I couldn't stop laughing at the thought of a complete stranger poking and prodding down there. When it came time for my appointment I expressed some concerns and joked with the hydro therapist about how bizarre this experience was going to be. She put it bluntly and said, "Look - I've seen so many butts I don't even have to look anymore!" She was professional and really great at dealing with me as a nervous and insecure patient. Once all of the tubes and gadgets were in place, it was much less awkward. (It also didn't hurt!)
Now we get to the colonic itself. WOW - it feels terrible! I was warned ahead of time that it would feel like that feeling you get every once in a while where you need to be totally alone with a book of matches and a stack of magazines. The hydro therapist talked me through it and kept chatting with me about current events, her job, all sorts of interesting things that were keeping my mind occupied as I felt like I was going to explode. (and yes - they're with you the WHOLE time. They're even examining what you expell.. really crazy but really interesting.)
POST COLONIC: After we were done, I felt SO much better. The procedure itself isn't terrible but it's no walk in the park! I was told that later I'd feel elated and light and energized, etc. I felt all of those things. In fact, I felt great for days!
I haven't gone back for a second visit but if I'm ever in the mood for a colonic again - I'd never go anywhere else. My experience here was as pleasant as it could have been...considering the circumstances. :)Listed in: Doctors/Healthcare in Seattle

The Tummy Temple is indeed a temple. I always feel well-cared for when I visit. I've worked with Michelle, who is great.
As the other reviewers have noted, being able to book appointments online is so convenient. The website is full of good information - the bios on the staff are very helpful. The online shopping is great, too. Good product description. Since I don't live close by (about 30 miles south), it's not convenient to drop in when I need something so I've ordered a few times online. Everything shows up on time, well-packed to avoid breakage, with excellent directions for use.
I recently got one of their newsletters, and didn't realize how close colon hydrotherapy was to being removed as a service in the state of Washington by the Washington State Legislature. TT was instrumental in educating and keeping colon hydrotherapy as a much needed service in these stress-filled times. Yay! -

The Tummy Temple is the place to go for some cleansing...mind and body. They do other things than colonics like massage, nutritional counseling and acupuncture.
I come her once a year and everyone is very helpful and informative. I learn so much every time I step foot in here and I think everyone should try this at least once. You will feel Awesome!! -

Today I started down a new path in life, one in which will begin with a 21 day detox to rid myself of 30 years of bad habits and hard living. To jump start my detox I wanted my colon to be working at maximum efficiency, to help expel toxins quicker and easier. Also, it came highly recommended to me by the doctor who created the detox and several friends and family who have done it as well. Here in lies the Tummy Temple and their expertise on the matter.
To help my colon work more efficiently, the Tummy Temple offers up some colon hydrotherapy - in lamans terms - colonics. I have to admit, I was mildly to seriously concerned about what I was getting myself into when I first set the appointment several weeks ago on-line. It seemed so far away that my level of apprehension didn't seem cause for concern, that is until this morning, mere hours until I'd be lying on my side being poked and prodded in ways no man should be.
Now that I've gone through with my first colon hydrotherapy, I have to admit, it wasn't bad at all. The staff here at Tummy Temple was so accommodating and pleasant, and especially my specific therapist, Janet, she was great. She explained to me every step of the way what exactly I should be doing and expecting, no surprises thrown at me in any way. Really, the whole experience didn't seem bad at all, barely any discomfort which surprised me considering the area in which we were working on. The hour just seemed to fly by. Afterwards, we sat down and discussed what had happened and what, if any, reactions I might encounter. She offered up some suggestions to help out with my detox that would make it a more successful experience.
All in all, Janet was great, the Tummy Temple was great, and I'll be back for my next colonic before you know it, clean colon and all.

Let me start by saying that this was the most... interesting experience of my life. I anxiously walked up two flights of stairs to enter a room with a "total zen" feel. I laid down on the table, had Faie work her magic with the aid of deep breathing, and the hydrotherapy began...... Water runs in and out of you, and you get to see what comes out for "your viewing pleasure" (Faie's words, not mine)... I think it was mostly there for her to take note of though. She seemed to examine what exactly was coming out, and took notes while massaging my stomach with nice oils to loosen up whatever was stuck on the walls of the colon.....When my hour of hydrotherapy ended, Faie said that it was " a powerful first time". I guess I'll take her word for it. The whole experience is $85, tip is not REQUIRED, but it's a nice gesture; considering what they do....... I would probably schedule your hydrotherapy at the end of the day, as your energy seems to completely drain out along with other things..... I might consider doing this again in about 3-6 months to see if I can manage another "powerful" session....
