What our students are saying

“Inner Garden School of Colon Hydrotherapy is a well established, well organized school. From the thorough communication beforehand with administration, to the 8 days of practicum and closing celebration dinner, my whole experience as a student of colon hydrotherapy was 5 stars! The teachers were exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate. Working with colon hydrotherapists Sue and Bijou gave me a new found confidence in my practice and inspiration to starting my own clinic.”     

~ Heidi, 2024 Fall Cohort

“I loved it and I am very grateful to have learned about colon hydrotherapy in this way. I am leaving feeling well educated and confident.  I thoroughly enjoyed being a student in this program – from start to finish, the knowledge, skills, and experience I have gained has been invaluable. For the first time in a long time I feel confident and optimistic about my future career, and I have overcome any apprehension I had around working with clients. The program was well structured, thorough, interesting, and eye-opening. Sue was a wonderful mentor who brought the perfect combination of respect, passion, and good humour to the overall learning experience. Thank you!”
