Colon Hydrotherapy

Overview

Colon Hydrotherapy of St. Petersburg, FL is a holistic wellness center specializing in colon hydrotherapy (colonics) and complementary detoxification therapies, including a Far Infrared Sauna. While primarily focused on gentle colon cleansing and internal purification, the facility integrates sauna sessions as a key component for deep detoxification, pain relief, and overall rejuvenation. The sauna uses far-infrared radiant heat, a natural energy form that penetrates up to 3 inches into the body without UV exposure, promoting toxin elimination, improved circulation, and cellular activation.

The overall atmosphere is calming, professional, and nurturing, with clients describing a peaceful environment, soothing music, relaxing essential oils, and personalized care. Testimonials highlight feeling energized, at peace, and renewed post-sessions, with excellent customer service from owner Kim Russo (licensed Colon Therapist and Massage Therapist) and staff like Kalyn, creating a home-like, non-rushed experience.
