Guest guest Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I got this from my friend, I have been to this place before. -- Tummy Temple Legal News Flash - The New Face of Colon Hydrotherapy Legal News Flash: The New Face of Colon Hydrotherapy Tummy Temple Times Special Report The winds of change are upon us. The face of Colon Hydrotherapy at the Tummy Temple and in the health industry are about to change. As many of our informed clients may know, there was a recent court case (WA State DOH vs. Dirk Yow, 12/08) and a DOH panel review that resulted in their determination that Colon Hydrotherapy is the “practice of medicine.” They feel that only licensed physicians (or nurses directly supervised by them) should provide colon hydrotherapy and that it is a medical procedure. The Tummy Temple, State Rep. Tami Green and leading members of the DOH have been leading the effort to pass a law to trump the original finding that Colon Hydrotherapy is the “Practice of medicine” and return it to independent, wellness therapy status. Although we have done a great job developing relationships within the DOH, educating the legislators, and avoiding an industry shut down, we are still vulnerable to malicious attacks with no legal protection. Someone filed complaints to the DOH that 6 members of the Tummy Temple staff are “Practicing Medicine without a License” by doing Colon Hydrotherapy. The DOH has expressed their regret but is obligated to prohibit us from doing Colon Hydrotherapy. Of course, this is devastating to this group of practitioners that have invested so heavily in their craft. However, the healing never ends. Healing is not limited to a modality. Healers will naturally provide healing in everything they do. So we ask you to support us during this time of transition. Support the new Naturopathic Physician staff that is about to flood the Tummy Temple with their expertise and eagerness to serve the public with natural medicine. They will be the ones providing Colon Hydrotherapy at the Tummy Temple. Support the therapists who carried the torch for Colon Hydrotherapy. These practitioners practice other healing modalities that will blossom as a result of this shift. Experience the transformation of their work. (NDs click here for job applicant information.) Do not fall prey to anger over this transition. Channel your feelings into action and find yourself renewed in political participation. Talk to your legislators about what wellness therapies are, which ones you want to see in your neighborhood and who you want to provide them. Don’t let this situation fool you into thinking that we don’t have that much power. We just need to use it! And, thank you, thank you, thank you for your heartfelt support and belief in natural wellness therapies! We will continue to bring you the best value in natural health care for detoxification, digestive and reproductive wellness. Many Blessings, Kristi Zimmer Co-Owner of Tummy Temple Proud Colon Hydrotherapy expert With great honor and gratitude we reflect upon the Colon Hydrotherapy work of the following practitioners… Kristi McKinney Zimmer, LMP Kristi is the founder of the Tummy Temple, Tummy Technical Institute (IACT certified school for Colon Hydrotherapy), and WAACH (Washington Association for Colon Hydrotherapy). She has been instrumental in establishing a positive, professional reputation for Colon Hydrotherapy in WA State and nationally. She has committed the last 12+ years of her life to establishing standards of excellence in the industry. Kristi is committed to the continued access of Colon Hydrotherapy to the public and preserving the healing art form of Colon Hydrotherapy as we now know it. Kristi will continue to manage and operate the Tummy Temple, provide guidance to the new Naturopathic team, be available for wellness consultations and provide healing massage. Jojie Natividad, LMP Jojie is an elder at the Tummy Temple and had been practicing Colon Hydrotherapy for over 10 years in many natural health clinics throughout the Seattle area. She is known for her calming sense of humor, deep commitment to clients (showing up at 5am to provide sessions), and releasing emotional turmoil that causes digestive issues. She is a foundational member of the Tummy Temple and has been very active politically in protecting our right to practice. Jojie will continue at the Tummy Temple providing management support, advanced massage and spiritual healing, and mentoring the new Naturopathic Physicians providing Colon Hydrotherapy. Heidi Nebel, MS CN Heidi worked her way through years of nutrition school at the prestigious Bastyr University by providing Colon Hydrotherapy. She is our resident “encyclopedia brain” on all things related to wellness. She loves to research health and nutrition issues and educate clients on food choices. Heidi is known for her energetic, “can do” attitude, intelligence, honesty, and ever exciting, eco-vintage style. Heidi will continue to provide her nutrition consultation services at the Tummy Temple specializing in detoxification, IBS, food allergies and fertility optimization. Michelle Wallar Martin, LMP Michelle is our resident sweetheart. Her gentle soul has touched many lives at the Tummy Temple and provided a safe place to receive healing. Michelle is guided by her awareness of social and environmental issues and a deep belief in working towards a healthier planet for all. She has been active in the political effort to legalize Colon Hydrotherapy for unlicensed practitioners and a dependable member of the Tummy Temple staff. Michelle will continue to provide massage at her private practice in Wallingford. She specializes in massage cupping which greatly enhances detoxification and reducing scar tissue. She also provides shiatsu, belly massage and Swedish massage. Contact her at SABA at (206)-816-5897. Logan Che, LMP Logan is known for putting his clients at ease. Someone once described his sessions as like, “having a latte at a Paris café.” We’re not sure exactly what that means, but we do know that Logan uses humor as a healing tool and relaxation as his religion; all with incredible style. Many female and male clients healed “male issues” with Logan, and he welcomed the challenge of extreme health conditions. Logan is an accomplished martial artist and brings the skill of focus to the table with each session. He creates deep levels of relaxation that renew the body and spirit. Danielle Biechner, LMP Danielle is a talented healing artist that provided much inspiration for expanding the healing boundaries of Colon Hydrotherapy. Her sessions are magically intuitive and encompass release of the entire body. Danielle’s personal experience with intense detoxification gave her deep insight into the sensitivity of the body during healing crises. Danielle is continuing her healing arts studies; this time in . She hopes to start Acupuncture school later this year and add needling to her repertoire. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please support these therapists in their various healing art forms. Thank you! Tummy Templers “ENCORE” Amber Warren (AKA Sydni Deveraux) As well, we would like to thank our administrative manager and client liaison, Amber Warren, for taking care of the Tummy Temple with efficiency and flare. Her position is another casualty of this event. Amber’s organizational skills kept us all on track and her reliability made it easier for the boss to sleep at night. In her life outside the Tummy Temple, Amber will continue to dazzle the public with her world class burlesque talent. You will find her performing in Seattle and abroad amongst famous international Burlesque stars. She will be deeply missed at the Tummy Temple. home | store | appointments | Colon Hydrotherapy Physican Job Posting This message was sent from Tummy Temple Times to suzanhome_1.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Catherine, Thanks for sharing this. I haven't been to the temple but know of it. I'm a trained Hydrotherapist and the gal that trained me was working on these issues before she took her practice out of state.
