Maria B. BorjaMaria B. Borja

As a child and teenager I suffered from severe allergies and sinus problems. In my early 20’s, I discovered herbal supplements and vitamins which in turn built my immune system. This caused the allergies to disappear and my sinus problems to diminish by 90%. In my 30’s, I was having trouble with my memory and felt dizzy at different times of the day. An alternative doctor tested me for heavy metal poisoning, and treated me for mercury poisoning. This treatment restored my memory very quickly, and the dizzy spells went away. In my 40’s, I had a brush with cancer. I decided to seek and be treated with alternative and holistic methods resulting in complete and successful healing. And, in my early 50’s, I was diagnosed with parasites which affected my skin, digestive system, and caused muscle and joint pain. As an alternative treatment for this condition and with great success to my health, I was introduced to colon cleansing.

Based on the above personal experiences, I found myself interested and curious about other medical and holistic practices, which also led me to pursue my life’s work and purpose. I am now working as a Certified Colon Hydrotherapist, Energy Work/Reiki Master and Reflexology/Ion Foot Spa practitioner. I have also created, developed and led seminars and workshops related to Body, Mind and Spirit topics. These are based on my own personal experiences with the desire to inspire others to seek alternative and holistic healing.

I invite and encourage you to experience the treatments and services that I provide through Holistic Fitness.

Yo hablo Espanol.

Karen GelbKaren Gelb

After years of poor health, with conventional medications not improving my ailments, I sought alternative treatments through colon hydrotherapy. Three months after receiving my first colonic I decided to become a Hydrotherapist. For the last two and a half years I have improved my life, and the lives of others, by practicing as an Advanced Certified Colon Hydrotherapist, I-ACT. Obtaining my certification is the best thing I have ever done for myself.

I enjoy helping people realize that a higher quality of life is possible. I am also of the few colon hydrotherapists in the country, that specializes in cancer and addiction treatment. If you are challenged with cancer, I will work closely with your doctor to be sure that you get the best care possible. If you are letting go of an addiction, whether alcohol, drugs, prescription drugs, sugar or other allergens, colonics can help you detox.

I believe laughter is the best cure and I live by my favorite quote, "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of treatment". I welcome new clients and guarantee you will have a great time!

Sharon PetersonSharon Peterson

My name is Sharon Peterson, and I have been working at Holistic Fitness as a Colon Hydrotherapist since March of 2006. I became interested in colonics after this cleansing process rid me of migraines.

In my practice I also include Essential Oils. I have learned that they can increase the good effects of colonics, when used in conjunction with abdominal massage. Among many other uses, Essential Oils can help relieve gas, decrease digestive distress, and aid in the release process when used in a colonic. I continue to be amazed by the effects of these oils and their ancient method of healing. When combined with colonics, they are an unstoppable solution to many health challenges.

I look forward to seeing you at Holistic Fitness so we can help you on the road to health and well being.

Lauren ZychLauren Zych

Hi! My name is Lauren Zych. I am a trained Colon Hydrotherapist, and a Nationally Certified Massage therapist. I made the decision to become a Colon Hydrotherapist after the colonic process dramatically improved the condition of my skin and my health.

For almost 10 years of my life, I was prescribed numerous medications to help with my skin but they never seemed to make a long term difference. After a series of colonic treatments not only did my skin look clear, but I felt great. Ridding my body of the harmful toxins gave me more energy and I have not been on medication in over 2 years!

For those of you who do not know me, my colonic treatments for my clients include the use of Therapeutic Grade Pure Essential oils.  I generally do an abdominal manipulation with the oils. Many old emotional patterns are stuffed deep in our colons (unconscious).  It is where we store those parts of ourselves and our past that we do not like. These emotions, memories, hurts, etc., are as toxic to your body as the undigested food, mucous buildup, parasites and yeast overgrowths that are stored in your colon.  The oils, affirmations and the work we will do in your session will aid the release of these toxins.

If you are experiencing any form of toxicity, hydrotherapy can make a difference. Come visit the staff at Holistic Fitness and continue on your path to wellness!

Rae ArrowsmithRae Arrowsmith

After being interested in Massage Therapy for many years, approximately two years ago I made a “Leap of Faith” and enrolled in Missouri College in the Massage Therapy program. The result of this “Leap” is that I am now a Licensed Massage Therapist and I really love the job of providing therapies that enable people to enhance their body and minds.

I offer the following massage therapies: Swedish, Deep-Tissue, Thai-Yoga massage. While Swedish and Deep-Tissue massage are typically relaxing and muscle soothing massages; Thai-Yoga massage is a fully-clothed massage emphasizing flexibility and energy.

I joined Holistic Fitness in June 2009 because I deeply believe Holistic Fitness and I share the same goals and beliefs – holistic therapies not only benefit the body but the overall well-being of the person as well.

I would like the opportunity to help you on your journey to a healthier body through my training as a massage therapist. I look forward to working with you.

Jo Ann DrakeJo Ann Drake

My name is Jo Ann Drake and I have been in the health and healing field my whole life. Growing up on a farm I cared sick and injured animals, nurturing them back to health. I worked as a nurse's aide for 25 years helping to care for elderly patients and at the same time certified myself in massage therapy.

For the last 14 years I have focused my energy practicing as a Touch For Health Instructor (TFH). I have utilized my unique talents and training to guide clients in finding their personal path towards improvement and empowerment. Currently, I am developing a somatic modality that combines multiple techniques with the work of Popov's book "The Virtues Guide". The goal is to remember our soul's connection to the physical here and now. By resetting the connection to your "true" self, I facilitate your personal journey of growth and inner healing.

My clients come from all across the United States, four continents as well as local seekers to experience my unique services. I have been a featured expert on local radio, in the Post Dispatch business section and on PBS with Greg Freeman.

I look forward to meeting you, you may contact me at 314-580-6676.

FOOD CHANGES EVERYTHING. It can make you happy, sad, irritable, anxious, light and airy, or wound-up and cranky. It can contribute to toxicity and illness, or health and balance. You really ARE what you eat, so if you’re not feeling your best, it’s time to reexamine your diet!

That’s exactly what I do as Certified Holistic Health Counselor. I empower my clients to look at their food, and everything else that ‘feeds them’ (relationships, careers, money) to reclaim their true health and weight. The bottom line is that we are truly a product of everything we consume on a daily basis. Our bodies absorb everything, so it’s our job to be sure we are nurturing it in the most gentle and effective way possible.

Colonics and nutrition are a powerful combination. By first detoxing the body, then ‘filling it back up’ with natural, nutrient-packed, health-promoting foods—drastic healing and weight loss can occur. I act as personal advocate to my clients, guiding them to improve their eating habits, understand their body better, feel confident in choosing and preparing better food, and to experience an increase in overall happiness in life.

Best of all, I do it with a simple, step-by-step approach that allows you to ease into a beautiful, healthy new life. I provide my clients real tools and steps to make this work in their daily life. I have seen profound and humbling changes in my clients, making me feel like I have the best job in the entire world…helping people heal with food.

I would love to support you in reaching your health, wellness, and life goals. Email me at Melissa@foxhealthcoaching.com  or give me ca call at 314-753-5148 for your FREE Health Breakthrough Consultation today.
