Q:
Do they use the Libby system for Colonics?
A:
No, we use the Aquanet 2000 from Prime Pacific Health. It is a closed system that allows for the use of gravity or pressure during a colonic. A practitioner is always in the room with you professionally facilitating the session. Thank you for the… more

Nicole is an incredible massage practitioner, and I always look forward to our appointments. Grateful for the tummy temples role in our community providing great alternative care services. My health insurance reimbursement requests end up refunding more than adjustments at competitors, and the services are such a great quality.

Nicole was great as she prepared me for a colonic cleansing prep getting ready for a colonoscopy. She made my original appointments and was the first specialist I saw in the 3 scheduled appointments. Reception lovely and calm. Parking is not wonderful through no fault of Tummy Temple--just allow time to scope it out and park carefully. Traffic is dicey. If you can, park on side street and walk.

I recently visited Tummy Temple and saw Dr. Egan. I am very grateful for the positive impact on my health! Dr. Egan's expertise and care were evident throughout, and I've experienced improvements in various aspects of my well-being. The entire experience at Tummy Temple was excellent, and I totally recommend their services. Thank you to Dr. Egan and the team for making a real difference in my health journey.

If you're not white I say do not go to this place because you are not welcome there. My dollar is worth the same as everyone else but I was treated poorly and told my name wasn't found under the list of people that was scheduled to do hydroclonic that day even if I showed them an email confirmation that was sent by them I was still turned away. It's not that my name wasn't on the list it was that I am a brown skin girl. They were surprised to see a girl like me there like they haven't seen anyone like me there before.

UPDATE April 18, 2019:
SHOUT OUTS FOR CATHERINE + LAUREN
Here is my promised update on certain information re: the Tummy Temple. As stated in my original review, I could not remember the names of those who performed my ELT (Electro Lymphatic Therapy). Their names are Catherine and Lauren. As reported before, both were great people to work with!
ELT IS NOW DLT
But now, ELT has been renamed "Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy" (DLT), since I was last there in December 2017. Thank you Sheila for providing me this updated information today over the phone.
"STEP N' GO" IMPROVES BUSINESS!
I said in the end of the original review that basically it was unclear how helpful the therapy sessions at the clinic were. But I'm happy to report that the "Step 'n Go" stool (see photo) that they sold me in 2017 for $25 does indeed help me to empty my excrement better. And anything that helps me to do my business better can only be a good thing! In fact, when I'm in a public restroom, I put my feet on top of the trash can to act as a makeshift "Step n' Go" to help eliminate better.
BETTER BUSINESS BIDET?
Speaking of "better business", I had a new toilet installed last year, with a fixed bidet(as opposed to the "spray gun" type bidet) added onto it (see photo). This allows me to be able to spray myself after doing my business, instead of having to use toilet paper. The jury is still out on that one. But I understand that in many other countries in the world, bidets are used in public restrooms instead of toilet paper. I know that this is true at least in Asia and in the Middle East. The feeling is that using toilet paper is insanitary. One thing I do know is that toilet paper can clog up toilets. This was part of the reason I replaced my toilet. The Tummy Temple also told me that they still have no official opinion re: the use of bidets vs toilet paper, which is kind of surprising.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jul 25, 2018Previous reviewI came here for several hydrocolonic therapies (HCT) and electrolymphatic therapies (ELT) in the fall of 2017. Dana was the specialist who did my HCTs. She was friendly and knowledgeable about her work. I cannot remember the names of the two specialists who did my ELTs (I will add them in a revised review later). But I will say that they were especially friendly, as well as knowledgeable about their work.
The HCTs are supposed to cleanse your colon by pumping water into it and then releasing it repeatedly. The ELTs are to clear out your "meridians"(?) so that your "qi" can flow unobstructed, by using a special handheld device.
They are all very professional and very willing to make conversation while administering therapy. They even made conversation with "Geneva", my alter ego, whom I brought along to my sessions. I also came here in prior years for HCTs. But this is my first time with ELTs.
Tummy Temple also sells an array of products to aid in healing. The atmosphere is superb, especially with the soft music playing while you wait for your session, and also during treatment.
Finding parking in the Ravenna neighborhood of Seattle can be a challenge. But I have found it to be surprisingly easy. Nevertheless, I would recommend that you be dropped off, or take a bus to get here if you can. Re: cost, they do not accept insurance. Therefore payment is out-of-pocket.
To tell you the truth, I really cannot say how effectively these naturopathic therapies work. But contrary to what my allopathic MD told me recently, they at least do not do any harm. Though even he was not certain re: harmful effects. But I at least seem to feel that they do me good. But to be fair, I am not well disciplined in being able to follow through with their prescribed regimens. So I cannot judge as well as I could, if I were more disciplined. - Adam B.Marysville, WA1651696May 3, 2021
My wife had an appointment and had to reschedule. No reminder, but the front desk called the day before the appointment. No problem. Never received the confirmation, no email or phone call.
They charged her $140.00 for a no show appointment. Called to complain and they say her email returned their reminders and that calling is a courtesy? But taking my money is also a courtesy I guess. They also lied and said that my wife cancelled her appointment three times.
Times are hard with covid. But that just means customer services should be that much more of a focus. Tummy Temple has lost a client. I'm sorry that taking our money is more than being professional and understanding in a difficult time for us all. Enjoy the money, he'll buy the team lunch?
If you decide to go to this place, be careful. Maybe they are good? Maybe they are even great at what they do. We will never know because due to their lack of professionalism we will never get the chance to answer that question.
I would not recommend going to this place due to their unprofessional business practices. Maybe they have great services, but this was the experience we had and I won't recommend them.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Shelly L.Redmond, WA95104Oct 25, 2021
My experience here with Dr D have been nothing short of a headache. Dr D was late to both my appointments, ended one early so she could do paperwork, forgot to fill my prescription and when I called a WHOLE month later to see where it was she filled it for the wrong amount! Dr D's complete lack of professionalism makes the clinic as a whole look bad.

I had been meaning to get in here for years but all of the sudden I needed to get in. I called and they got me in right away. I have had a recurring blockage in my digestive system that has bothered me off and on for years and none of my health care providers could help me with. Long story, short....Juliette was able to help me out and really went the extra mile in making sure that my issues were resolved and then gave me some great education on how to get ahead of these issues in the future.
Thank you so much Juliette and Tummy Temple!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

When you pay for a procedure.
You would expect to get the procedure done.
...
I certainly did not expect for the 'doctor' to take up most of the time interviewing me. Followed by failing to perform the procedure TWICE. For which I was still billed.
I was informed that we were out of time.
Then she tried to sell me supplements for which there was no test indicating I needed them. (She seemed to have lots of time for sales- not so much time for the booked procedure.) I was quite clear in the beginning- I would not buy pills from her without a test.
Not only did she fail to overcome my objections- she tried to get me to come back in a week so she could financially gouge me again.
-Practice- I had no idea I was paying for her to practice with a machine which she seems to need more training to use effectively.
-
I would like a full refund. Imitatedly.
!Allison- probably needs more training on the hydro colonic system.
!Allison- probably needs to take a morals and ethics class.
!Allison- probably needs a Better Business Bureau complaint.
!Allison- probably needs a State Attorney General call for consumer protection.
