Teresa Ducoffe – Owner of Atlanta Colonic & Massage Spa
I’m a wife, mother, Certified Colon Hydrotherapist, prior Massage Therapist and owner of
Atlanta Colonic & Massage Spa. I am excited to share more about myself, my staff, and the
services Atlanta Colonic and Massage offers to support your personal journey to health and
wellness.
Getting “into” this business…
Clients often ask me how I got into the field of health and wellness. My alternative health and wellness journey began in the early 1990’s when my young daughter developed severe Candida, and traditional medical therapy was not effective.
Around that time, I had also started an independent therapeutic massage practice called
Wellbeing’s, but had to discontinue after 8 years, due to tendonitis. I still wanted to stay in
service of people and in the alternative health field, but in what capacity I was unsure.
As time passed, I found myself dealing with ulcers, fatigue, depression, and finally I was
diagnosed and treated for stage 3 melanoma (skin cancer). That’s when my journey towards
alternative health, nutrition and supplementation really began.
I began to investigate alternative approaches to health and wellness, with the goal of finding
the root causes of my illness, not simply just treating the symptoms. I began therapy with a
holistic chiropractor, explored various nutritional supplements, and made lifestyle adjustments,
thereby taking control of my own health. Changes in diet, lifestyle and nutritional supplements
turned out to be a big part of the solution.
In the late 1990’s, I developed a hard, sore area in my abdomen, and as I was a cancer survivor,
sought help from the traditional medical community. After extensive tests, much to my relief,
the doctors found nothing. I returned to the alternative health world where, with research,
much like you are doing now, came across Colonics also known as Colon Hydrotherapy. I did
not realize our bodies should typically have a bowel movement after each meal. Looking back
on the bowel habits of my children as babies, they often moved their bowels after every meal
and this healthy habit should continue throughout our lives.
I located a Colonic provider and experienced a series of 12 treatments, over a 4-week period.
The experience was amazing! On my 8th cleanse, with a bit of nausea and mild cramps, the
hard, sore area I felt seemed to dissolve, releasing as a black sludge-like bowel. The soreness
decreased and the tender area in my abdomen was almost gone. It was then I knew Colon
Hydrotherapy was an incredibly effective wellness therapy (modality) and would become my
chosen profession in the field of alternative health and wellness. The traditional medical
community seemed unaware or dismissive about the potential benefits of about this incredible
modality.
Winning The War In Our Gut!
Understanding The Human Microbiome
In my research, I found the practice of Colon Hydrotherapy was used in ancient Egypt as early as 1500 BC in! Later, I learned that the medical profession had removed Colon Hydrotherapyfrom hospitals and nursing homes by the early 1970’s as traditional medicine had transitioned to prescribing drugs and surgery. I wanted to learn more about this “lost art of cleansing” so I continued my education and went on to become a Certified Colon Hydrotherapist under the International Association of Colon Hydrotherapy (I-ACT). During the next 6 years, I had the opportunity to visit several Colon Therapists, trying different methods and devices. I found the LIBBE open colonic system was my top choice as it provided the best results and the most privacy. My ultimate desire was to be able offer my future clients the most comfortable and effective colonic experience, with the best equipment and the most professional and knowledgeable Colon Therapists. It’s important that a client has a basic understanding of the digestive system, which helps them to making smart lifestyle, food and supplementation choices.
There’s an “old” computer expression that also holds true for our bodies: “Garbage in, Garbage out”. I found the as I cleansed, I also wanted to eat a balanced diet, exercise, control my stress and get adequate rest. These experiences gave me an incredible passion to share this “Lost Art of Cleansing” with others.
I opened Atlanta Colonic & Massage Spa at the start of the 2009 recession, with my mom and daughter and we continue to share our story with clients. What a blessing for me, my family and staff to have been in service of Atlanta and surrounding areas from as far north as the Carolina’s and South to Florida. Many of our clients have been returning to cleanse with us for almost 15 years sharing their results with friends and family helping us to grow into one of the most visited colonic centers in the southeast!
We offer Colonics, Massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Infrared Saunas, and Ionic Foot Spas. Now, with additional therapies like the FlowPresso, Quantum Energy Wellness Bed and Ozone therapies, we have created the best wellness spa experience in the southeast. Over our years in business, my daughter, mom and I have received numerous compliments from clients concerning our healthy, youthful appearance which we believe is largely due to Colonics, and associated alternative wellness therapies. I have experienced the benefits of cleansing but now that I have combined it with iS Clinical and OBAGI skin care, my skin glows!
As I look back, it all began with receiving my first 12 Colonics along with our clients, for we could not do it without their patronage. How incredible is Atlanta Colonic & Massage Spa? It is life-changing!
We are now exposed to the greatest toxic load in the history of our planet! Environmental
pollutants along with artificial, chemically filled processed foods continually impact our health
on multiple fronts. Have you ever REALLY listened to all the drug advertisements? They are filled with “a pill for every ill” message, leaving our health in the hands of the traditional medical and pharmaceutical industry. In many cases a pill only covers up your body’s natural alarm system. This is why cleansing is no longer just an option – it’s a necessity.
Atlanta Colonic & Massage Spa can help you recover and maintain your health and wellness from your first visit creating your own “inner and outer beauty”. Don’t put it off, make an appointment today. You’ll love how you look and feel!
Blessings and Namaste
Teresa Ducoffe, Owner
