Kristi Zimmer, Owner, LMP, Massage Therapy & Colon Hydrotherapy
I came to the Pacific NW in the mid-90s from Chapel Hill, NC, looking for cooler, fresher air and a better way to take care of myself and my worsening health. After a lifetime of digestive and elimination issues I found relief with the art of cleansing.

Tim Zimmer, Owner, Business Development, Technology
I have never been happier, more gratified or proud in my career than to be a part of the Tummy Temple. My path to building the Tummy Temple was an unlikely one for which I cherish the people I have met, the knowledge I have learned and the life I have built along the way. Read more... 
Jojie Natividad, LMP, Massage Therapy & Colon Hydrotherapy
I have always lived by the motto to “Trust my gut.” This way of living drew me to Seattle from Cleveland, Ohio (via Slippery Rock University of PA) and literally the moment my feet touched the ground here…I knew I was Home.

Heidi Nebel Oschner, CN, Nutrition & Colon Hydrotherapy
My name is Henrietta Nebel Ochsner, but please call me Heidi like everyone else (nicknames welcome!). I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana, but have lived in Seattle for the last 13 years and love it here! I love food, cooking, gardening, making music with my band and the amazing intricacies of the human body. When I first came to the Tummy Temple I just knew this job was for me. I was literally grilling Suzanna (my colon hydrotherapist) about job openings while I was on the table. I've now been at the Tummy Temple for over 6 years - time flies!

Nedra Goedert, Colon Hydrotherapy
As a colon hydrotherapist and an energy healer, I can see a person from the inside to the outside. This view of people is a reflection of my own journey to health which has led me steadily in the direction of The Tummy Temple. In the warm, safe atmosphere of the Temple, I like to offer information about digestion and colon function while providing self-help guidance. My way is to give the client the tools for health and the support they need along their path. Read more...
Ellen Sims, Client Liason and Intern
Hello, my name is Ellen Sims! I am a student of naturopathic medicine at Bastyr University and I am incredibly excited about interning at the Tummy Temple. I believe that life is a wonderful and meaningful journey. I feel that the best and hardest part of the journey is letting go and “just being”. When I let go and trust wonderful and miraculous things happen in my life; one such thing was being led to the Tummy Temple. Read more...
The Tummy Temple was spawned from a foundation in colon hydrotherapy. It has grown to include naturopathic medicine, massage, nutrition counseling, lymphatic drainage and health care products with the best ingredients we can find in the world.
Our overall focus is on detoxification and cleansing, improving digestive and reproductive fortitude,
and relaxing your body from the tummy out! We are passionate about working as a team to provide you
with unparalleled service and care. We enjoy working with those who are ready to take the bold
and exciting step of truly caring for your tummies.
It is gift that keeps on giving!
The Tummy Temple is considered tied for the #1 position in the national colon hydrotherapy industry in terms of the number of colonics we perform daily. This ranking is based on the use of colon hydrotherapy supplies from the largest supplier in the United States. We are the largest colon hydrotherapy clinic in terms of number of colon hydrotherapists actively on staff.
We make every effort to use organic and wild crafted products and ingredients to support the services we provide and in the products we manufacture. The oils and lotions that are used on your skin are organic.
In support of a healthy environment we use recycled products as much as possible, - glasses instead of paper cups, cotton towels as an alternative to paper towels, adjust air conditioning to shut down outside of business hours and recycle our waste. We are truly a green business.
The Tummy Temple recognizes that the value to our services and products is not limited by the walls of our business. We invest heavily in health care and communication technologies with the intent of improving the natural health care industry in terms of quality of care, growth of professional knowledge, reduction of unnecessary expenses (to keep prices reasonable), education of the public and improved collaboration with our peers around the world.
We are truly grateful for everyone who chooses us to support their health. Without you we would not be in business.
It is our sincerest pleasure to assist you in
DETOXIFYING, ENERGIZING & RELAXING.
May your tummy truly find nirvana.
