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 skills and experiences I gained along the way. They have all been applied in some form or fashion here in the Tummy Temple. In business my focus was more international and technology oriented. In health I was doing the best I could with exercise and popular nutrition trends, surprisingly a superficial approach that was heading me in the direction of a lot of unnecessary problems in the coming years.

When I first met Kristi, I did not even know what colon hydrotherapy was nor had I invested much in body therapies, such as massage. It was through Kristi that I became keenly aware of abdominal pain and suffering that my mind had blocked out as "normal" and gained a newfound respect and appreciation for body therapies. At first I was nervous and didn't highly value colon hydrotherapy or massage as many of the benefits are cumulative; granted I always felt better after a session. As time and action has proven I am a living example of their value. The results I experience are beyond what I imagined possible.

It has always been a commitment of mine to build a business that directly helps people improve the quality of their lives. I joined forces with Kristi because we wanted to unify our energy, time and expertise in doing something we both loved and felt our community would appreciate. I believe so much in what we are doing and in providing the best service to you that, though I don't personally offer colon hydrotherapy, I have been trained and certified in it. I continue to develop my understanding and knowledge in what we offer by receiving the services myself and learning the actual skills directly from the experts. When I write "In joyful service of sacred tummies everywhere," at the end of my emails I mean it.
