I’m so Excited to Introduce: ANNETTE ☀️
Send me a DM or Book Online!

My name is Annette, and I am a certified colonic hydrotherapist. I believe in the powerful transformation and positive effects of colon cleansing on overall well-being. My goal is to empower my clients to achieve optimal health through the art and science of colonic hydrotherapy.

My journey with colon hydrotherapy began when I personally experienced its benefits in alleviating my digestion issues. This positive experience inspired me to learn more about colon hydrotherapy and eventually become a certified practitioner. After undergoing several treatments, my symptoms improved, and I felt renewed after every session.

I am passionate about sharing the benefits of colon hydrotherapy with others and helping them embark on their journey to wellness. I believe that true healing starts from within, and I am committed to guiding my clients towards optimal health.

🌞 I need Vitamin D, please 🌱🦩

Does anyone else miss the sunshine as much as I do?!

🤍❄️ Winter blues 🥺⛸ — fatigue & depression can be signs of Vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency.

Facts:
• Did you know that windows can block UVB rays which we need for Vitamin D synthesis to occur in our bodies?
• Windows don’t block UVA rays so remember to wear your sunscreen even when you’re staying indoors!

Vitamin D3 is a very accessible supplement and you can safely take D3 drops daily. 1000IU is the recommended adult dose but I have found that I need a lot more than that (especially through our winters).

I would recommend getting your levels 🩸 checked and working with a healthcare professional before mega-dosing on your own!

🥰 this is wonderful!

There is no evidence that it protects against Covid-19 but it could boost the health of the vulnerable.

💜🐝🍯
Did you know that it takes 12 honey bees to make 1 teaspoon of honey?!
Let’s slow down.
We don’t always need to be getting stuff done. There’s a saying about stopping to smell the roses. 🌹🤍
What they don’t mention about hanging out in the flowers is all the bees!! 🐝🖤
You can’t see them in this photo but the lavender was actually buzzing with the song of all kinds of bees and other pollinators busy working hard.
They were gentle and did not mind sharing the company of all the visitors who wanted to enjoy the blooms.
Today I’m opening up a jar of honey 🍯 made from pollen collected on these beautiful lavender fields.
🌸
I’m going to drink in every drop of sunshine on this sunny summer day (even if it’s just from the parking lot as I walk into the clinic.)
☀️
I’m going to indulge in a spoonful of honey and give gratitude to those 12 bees whose life’s work made it possible for me to slow down and enjoy this moment.
🙏🏽

I love nature but I’m not outdoorsy.
I love the earth and the water but I am uncomfortable when I am dirty and I am scared of drowning. (I am not a strong swimmer.)
Or even worse than dirt or drowning, ⚠️ touching something slimy in the dark water. Ew! 😆🙈
💛
I try to spend as much time in the sun as possible during our (too) short Ontario summers. One of my favourite activities has been to paddle board on the Nottawasaga River; it is a beautiful, calm, and quiet space.
💙
Yesterday, a cormorant, the sea raven, swam together with us for almost the entire trip! It was pretty special. He even flew ahead at one point and greeted us around the river bend.
🖤
Cormorant is asking you to dive deep to catch your desires....
Cormorants bravely choose to experience heavy challenges because they understand that doing uncomfortable things is necessary in order to achieve their goals. Cormorant is telling you that hard times are actually gifts that are leading you to your soul’s needs. {tanyacasteel.com}
🤍
This is exactly the message I needed to receive.
Some of us only experience our biggest growth spurts after it feels like our world has fallen apart.
Some of us won’t make big moves until we realize we can absolutely no longer stay where we are.
But once we are growing and moving, there is no stopping us until we are done ✨🦋
💗
2020 has been a year to test our mettle.
What are your priorities?
What are you made of?
What change do you want to live?
I am going to dig deep and work hard, like the cormorant, and get everything that is for me!
💜
Thank you for sharing this adventure with me and taking this pic while we were both ravished by mosquitos. 🥺😍😂
📷
(Additional thanks 🙏🏽 for rescuing my dog with your lightning fast mom reflexes when she decided to walk off the edge of the paddle board! You are her hero and bestie for life! 💞 and mine too.)

It’s been a Wild 2020 so far!
🦋🙌💓🔥
I’ve learned and grown so much in the past few months 🌱 I was forced (like many others) to spend time with myself and within myself. 🧘🏻‍♀️☯️
I closed my doors alongside most other businesses in March. I have been fortunate enough to be able to welcome clients (and friends) back into the therapy room for almost 8 weeks now.
✨🌸 Thank You Everyone!! 🙏🏽
Thank you for your support and patience. I appreciate every message, referral, appointment, and review! 💜🥰
You have made reopening joyful.
☀️🌙
I went in for a COVID-19 test last week.
I did not have any symptoms.
I did not travel.
I did not knowingly come into contact with anyone who is ill.
I have eaten on patios 🍽🥂
I have gone to hot yoga ( 🔥🧡)
I even had my hair done! ( 🦄💜)
I’ve participated in outdoor activities with close friends ❤️⭕️ and a couple indoor ones too.
I’ve felt very safe.
I wash my hands and sneeze/cough into my elbows.
I sanitize everything. 😆
After a lot of deliberation, I decided to go in to get tested even though I am healthy and have been following protocols.
Not gonna lie, the swab was pretty awful. 😰
but I’ll do it again.
Why?
I come into contact with vulnerable people daily.
I trust that each person I share a circle with and that each person who comes into my therapy room is honest and doing their best to care for themselves, and in turn, those around them.
🙌
I trust you.
Do you trust me?
✨
💛
Big smiles,
Carol
