Condition: ACID REFLUX
"I had Acid Reflux for ten years. I had to take prescription medication whenever it came about, as the pain was so bad I could not sleep or lay down. Immediately after my first series of colon therapy treatments, my acid reflux disappeared. Ten years later I have still not had any symptoms of this horrible problem."

Condition: ACNE
“Before seeing Katherine at Dharma Spirit, I had acne for 12 years and experienced lethargy and poor digestion. As a 27 year old, I did not think I could have a toxic build-up in my body. After several hydrotherapy sessions I was in awe and how much our colons can accumulate! Colon hydrotherapy has eliminated the toxic matter that was contributing to my ongoing skin breakouts, lethargy and poor digestion.
Katherine has a vibrant and comforting presence. She is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of Holistic Health. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from her! After completing the colon hydrotherapy sessions, my skin has cleared up, I have more energy and my digestion has improved greatly. I highly recommend Colon Hydrotherapy at Dharma Spirit for anyone who is interested in improving their well-being!”

Condition: ANAL ITCH
"I had a serious anal itch that was extremely irritating (completely distracting) and painful for almost 30 years. I had been using cortisone cream on this area since the age of 18. I had been to repeated specialists, none with any answers as to why I would have this problem. With complete colon cleansing I have been able to completely get off cortisone cream and no longer have any irritation whatsoever in this area. What a relief!"

Condition: CHRONIC CONSTIPATION
"I had been chronically constipated since I was 12 yrs old, and now I was 40. I went to see Katherine and she explained how the hydrotherapy could help me clean out all the old stuff that is sitting in my large bowels. I wasn't nervous at all with Katherine, as she made me feel very very comfortable, and explained everything that was going on. I had about 16 treatments, and it was amazing, what was released and removed from my bowels. It was a easy and comfortable process. In the past I had used everything you could think of to remove the old stuff and do a really good cleanse on my own, and nothing worked as well as the Hydrotherapy. It was really hard to explain to other people what kind of stuff was released and removed from my body. And many people thought it was disgusting. My body was slowing dying from the toxins seeping into my bloodstream from not being removed fast enough. In my opinion, its more disgusting to keep all that stuff inside of my body, than to remove it and see it for your own eyes. It really works, and I will always be grateful to Katherine."

Condition: ENERGY
"Colon Hydrotherapy with Katherine is amazing. As a professional, she employs the sensitivity and respect expected with any practitioner, but goes beyond that by personalizing her advice and recommendations for each client, which makes the experience so much more valuable. Combined with the nutritional and lifestyle recommendations for maximum effectiveness, the treatments left me feeling lighter, healthier and routinely more energized. I recommend this treatment to anyone."

Condition: FIBROMYALGIA / CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME (CFIDS)
At 28 years of old I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Prior to this diagnosis I had all the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I was tested by a research scientist, Dr. Fluor Henry and the results showed a serious difference in brain function. I was diagnosed by Dr. Duncan Campbell and was told that I probably would not work again. I was bed ridden for well over a year. I witnessed many 'strange' things come out of me through colon therapy that looked nothing like fecal matter. I have been Fibromyalgia symptom free for over 17 years. Other health problems that also 'disappeared' were: palindromic rheumatism, dry eye, constipation, cold hands, cold feet, cold body, bloating, PMS symptoms, constant hunger, fatigue and face boils. I am very faithful now about ensuring I get my yearly colon cleansing done. It is my main illness prevention and health maintenance routine!

Condition: HIVES
I have been plagued with chronic hives for the majority of my life. Over the years I have tried every type of treatment and therapy that I could think of, seen all the specialists that I could get referred to, and spent countless hours doing my own research. The conclusion: there could be a million reasons why I get hives. Never being satisfied with this answer, I have always been open to alternative treatments even if I didn't understand at first exactly how they could help. I was introduced to colon therapy through a friend who was receiving treatments with Katherine. It seemed like an unusual treatment but I was willing to give anything a try...six months later, colon therapy has helped me to become drug free and stop the chronic hives that I have dealt with for almost 20 years. I believe that achieving optimal health is a lifelong quest, but never have I seen such results with one single type of therapy. I believe so strongly in the benefits of colon therapy that I have now taken the course so I too can help others as Katherine has helped me.

Condition: MIGRAINE
I have suffered from regular occurring migraines for over 22 years (since I was about 10 years old). The migraines were often so intense, I would lose my ability to function normally – I would become clumsy, hypersensitive to light and sound, have trouble with my vision, feel foggy and unfocused, and sometimes I would even have difficulty speaking. Over the years, I have seen numerous doctors and specialists in the hopes of controlling them, the symptoms and the pain. I was prescribed powerful medication (with strict dosing and scary side effects) to settle the symptoms, but I was never actually able to avoid getting them altogether.
That was, until I discovered colon hydrotherapy. Katherine guided me through the process of cleansing my colon and my body. I visited her several times a week for colon hydrotherapy and, to the best of my ability, I followed through on her advice to consume the proper food and take the right supplementation. She was an incredible support throughout my journey to health – she was my cheer leader and role model.
What’s most remarkable is in the months just prior to discovering colon hydrotherapy, I was extremely fatigued, lost my drive to be physically active and was getting up to 10 migraines (and many smaller, but equally disruptive headaches) a month. I completed my treatment well over a month ago and I have not had one migraine since! I no longer feel the creeping sense of fatigue I once did and I have regained my energy levels. I believe I owe my current state of health and sense of well-being to Katherine and colon hydrotherapy!

Condition: MIGRAINE
I truly valued colon therapy as a naturalistic way to feel whole. Katherine is truly professional in dealing with the colon therapy as well as very knowledgeable in the field of colon therapy. She made me feel very comfortable and the therapy itself relieved me of my migraine headaches. I would highly recommend the therapy as a means of feeling healthier."

Condition: SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION
"Having waited several years taking antiobiotics that never seemed to truly rid me of my symptoms, I saw my sexual verility increase and my overall energy increase. I have regained health, spirits, and confidence. This is something I have battled for the better part of my life that is now gone. Please accept my sincere thanks Katherine. Your colon hydrotherapy work has helped a young man feel young again."

The Foundation Colon Hydrotherapy IACT certification training taught by Katherine Labonte was an enlightening and interesting course of self discovery. I feel that I have learned invaluable skills both in colon hydrotherapy and communication. It has motivated me to learn as much as I can about holistic health care, and especially the colon. The excellent training was thorough and stimulating. Katherine is brilliant, knowledgeable and passionate about the colon. Her passion is so infectious you can’t help but become excited with her. She has great interpersonal skills and this training is one of my all time top learning experiences of my life. The energy of the learning environment was both soothing and stimulating. I look forward to more courses with Katherine This course is more than worth the investment, and will benefit anyone who takes it both personally and professionally. I highly recommend Dharma Spirit School of Holistic Health.

I took the foundation level colon hydrotherapy with Katherine Labonte at Dharma Spirit School of Holistic Health in October 2009. I had been practicing colon hydrotherapy prior to getting my certification, and the information that I learned from Katherine was invaluable to enhancing my knowledge as a professional colon therapist. I found the clinical portion of the program particularly useful to learn “hands on” how to expand my own practice. Katherine is extremely knowledgeable in this field due to her many years of experience, which makes her a very engaging teacher. I valued her approach to colon therapy, not only as a clinical practice, but more importantly…an emotional and spiritual one. I look forward to doing the intermediate course with her.
