Learn Hyrotherapy on the affordable
Woods Gravity System rather than any other!
The Original Woods Gravity Method of Colon HydroTherapy
by Dr Wood
The Woods Gravity Method has been used since the 1950s. It was the first method to be used in clinics and still used decades later. Dr Wood from the USA was the original teacher who taught therapists across USA and Canada. Joanne's teacher was trained by Dr Wood, who then started a school in Toronto and Halifax. It is a gentle therapy that is equal to any other method used today, such as the expensive Hydro Therapy Machine and the Angel DIY device.
The Woods Gravity System is a cost effective set-up to get you started in your practice without going into serious debt. Other expensive Hydro Therapy machine set-ups cost $12,000. The Woods Gravity System costs a couple hundred dollars. Once you are solidly and economically settled into your business, you might want to purchase a machine. A generous discount is offered from the Academy, if you decide at any time to purchase an Aquanet machine with free online training. Contact the Academy for further information.

Testimonial
​
Taking this course and being hosted at a retreat house was more than I could have asked for. Becoming a Certified Professional Colon Hydrotherapist at the Academy was excellent. I didn't realize that I needed a break from living in the city, and to unwind in the country. It was refreshing and nourishing to stay at the retreat house. This course was informative beyond my expectations. Colon cleansing is such a a seldom discussed health matter. This course enlightened my already insistent journey of health and wellness. Joanne's years of experience and mentorship is so impressive. If you are considering taking this course, do not hesitate, as I highly recommend it.

Testimonial
​
When I spoke with Joanne about the Colon Hydro Therapy course, I knew that she was unique. She sincerely desires to impart her wisdom to the next generation of Colon Hydro Therapists to ensure clients receive education and not just a service. Even though I had the expense of flying in from British Columbia and renting a car, I knew that this would be well worth it. I was welcomed into her home and clinic with good food and stories from her 40 years experience. Staying in an elegant bedroom was so enjoyable for the duration of the training. All included! Not only did I glean the knowledge about the therapy technique, but I left the training having experienced some of her other modalities of healing. This was no ordinary training! It was thorough and effective. I highly, highly recommend her academy. Joanne gives tremendous value that you will not find anywhere else.

Learning from Joanne has been a wonderful experience! With her 30+ years experience in clinical practise and her school from 1997, she has a wealth of knowledge to so willingly share. She has taught me how to confidently start my own Colon Therapy practise. If you want the same, this course is for you. With Joanne's years of dedication and patient care in this field makes her the best to learn from in her small, personal class. She gives you follow-up support that is so very valuable. The training environment is professional. She gives you everything you need to set up your own successful clinic. When you have a challenging issue with any client health issue in your practise, Joanne will be there for support. This is a course with practical details on becoming a confident, professional therapist. I highly recommend this course.
