Healing Waters Institute

I cannot say enough GREAT things about Annabel! I first came to see her about a year and a half ago, after reading such great reviews of her on here I had to meet her. She was as sweet and amazing as everyone says and then some! I have referred several people to her because she is so knowledgeable and incredible at making people feel comfortable and at ease. I won’t go anywhere else but Healing Waters.

This was the best colon cleanse I have ever had. Wonderful environment and Anabel was a gem. I felt very relax and was not uncomfortable. Great location and parking was very easy. Also there was no pressure to purchase packages or anything. You overall a very wonderful experience and I will be booking again.

If you’re thinking of getting colonics, this is a good spot to go to, in large part because they use Libbe machines. Many colonics places (that use different machines) have customers lay on their sides while an employee sticks something up the rectum that shoots water into it, and then the employee watches and comments on everything that comes out of the person’s rectum. Yes, it can be awkward and uncomfortable (although it is usually a bit cheaper this way). At Healing Waters, it’s very different and much more private and dignified. You go into a private room and lie on the Libbe machine covered up by a blanket, and you pretty much do everything yourself. Annabelle checks on you once in a while (and she’ll come whenever you need if you press the call button) and, like others have said, she has a personality that is great for putting people at ease.
As for the health benefits, I find colonics help me after I’ve spent a period of time abusing my body with junk food, and I’m starting to feel really «yuck» all over. When I decide to turn things around, I will do a juice cleanse with psyllium and bentonite for maybe a week or so, and I’ll add some colonics to really get the bad stuff out. Whenever I do this, I notice my health starts to turn around quickly.

Should be a part of everyone’s health routine (at least a couple times a year)… Annabelle has state or the art equipment and is so professional and nurturing… I wouldn’t want to go to anyone else (because I have and it’s too weird! She makes it comfortable and not weird.)

I have been wanting to do this for about 5 years now, guess I never did because I was to embarrassed. Annabel is amazing she made me feel so comfortable and had me laughing about the whole thing. I found my go to place to get my human oil changes, very nice atmosphere.

I’ve done colonic therapy years ago somewhere else and it was very uncomfortable and even painful. Still, I felt like my digestive system needed some help and I also wanted to get rid of the toxins which I accumulated over last 4 – 5 years, so I decided to do it again.
This time the procedure was much less uncomfortable than I expected it to be. The machine is different here (seems to be new) and it’s a much less invasive procedure. The lady was very knowledgeable and helpful and made me feel ok despite the awkwardness of the situation. It didn’t hurt at all. The faculty was beautiful and super clean. 3 – 5 sessions are needed to get best results. I’m definitely coming back.

I’ve been to Healing Waters three times now within about a month’s time. Annabel is one of the BEST hydrotherapy «technicians» (if you can even call her that, she’s more like a therapist/​masseuse/​earth mother/​guider/​healer/​caretaker all wrapped up into one). Her hydrotherapy beds are the open method kind which make the whole process much easier. You don’t ever have to worry about «holding it in.» When you need to release, you release. You «let it go» as she says. Annabel makes you feel comfortable and even makes funny little jokes along the way. Her energy and her aura is just perfect for this. She was meant to do this. She’s always giving great advice, and teaching, and is just so loving, positive, and helpful. Everything is done right and the place is clean and inviting. The lighting in the room is good too. Low and peaceful. One time she played some nice music during the ‘cleansing’ (as I like to call it) and that was lovely. The location is also great. Right off the 101 on Laurel Canyon. You can’t beat it in the Valley. Parking on the street is always available before 6pm. It’s like a cozy office out of her home so it doesn’t feel «medical» or «hospital» or «corporate» at all. Really holistic and natural. Everything is up to date and totally safe. Water has an automatic shut off if it gets to 106 degrees (which is the highest temp your colon can handle). There’s a vibrating machine (looks like an alien space ship with two balls) that you rub on your stomach/​belly button area to help move stubborn poop. Annabel calls him «Armando.» Haha. My first colonic she gave me a reflexology massage on my feet to help stimulate my colon. It hurt, but in a good way. She just truly cares and knows what she’s doing and is very informative. She also puts in a solid dose of good probiotics (the good bacteria for your digestive system) after you’re done because you push everything out when you do these colonics (the bad stuff and the good stuff) so she puts the good stuff back in and it just makes the whole area feel nice and warm and happy. Haha. I can’t rave enough about it. If you’re seriously considering getting a colonic I highly recommend Healing Waters. Price is standard I believe (though I haven’t looked into many other places because I Unilocaled first and was convinced this was the one for me right away). 5 stars for Annabel and Healing Waters!

The place is good, very unusual, warm and welcoming. Anabelle is amazing, makes you feel welcomed and very comfortable. Sometimes it’s not easy to get hold of her at the office, so you might want to try to call back, but overall experience is amazing, I really highly recommend this place. Going for hydrocolonics again soon.

Anabelle is such a sweety, she makes you feel at ease the minute you set your foot in the door. This was my first time trying a colonic and I don’t think it could have been any better. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, her place was super clean. Overall is great and Anabelle is just the nicest person.

Where do I start??? As soon as I walked into the door I could feel the warmth and felt completely at ease. Annabelle walked me through the process and made me feel like I’ve known her for years! This was a long time coming… Thank you, thank you, thank you, Annabelle for all your words of wisdom, your words of encouragement, and listening. I recommend Healing Waters Institute for anyone who wants to get their health in order and feel better. Annabelle is the bomb! I feel better already!

I just started Unilocaling and could not wait to write about this place! I went there a few months ago and Annabelle was such a pro! She made you feel comfortable from the moment you walked in the door. It is a lil apt converted into a colonic space with a couple treatment rooms and a clean bathroom. She could tell I was a little nervous and just was so warm and welcoming. Once you get all plugged in it is a very clean and comfortable ride. She did a great job of creating a therapeutic experience. I had a major natural high after. My body digested so amazing and still is doing well. I look forward to going back not just for the cleansing but to see Annabelle. I HIGHLY recommend this place.

It was my first time going to get a colonic, and I was very nervous on the phone when I called her. She was very calm, and helped answer questions on the phone, and when I showed up I felt VERY nervous which she QUICKLY calmed me down, and I could not of been happier when I left there. Annabelle is the only person in the business I have visited, and I would not go see anyone else. I HIGHLY recommend her and give her more than 5 stars…

Annabelle is the best, I fell in love with her soul. She is really one with you. I felt comfortable. Aside from that I lost 5.4 # and had a fantastic experience on many levels.
Any fears of intimacy I may have had are now relieved of duty.
The place was cozy, clean and smelled great

I enjoyed Annabelle’s therapy for the first time last Friday 07÷26÷13 … I am looking FORWARD to visiting again for more healing. Annabelle is an angelic soul with a generous spirit. I am grateful that she uses the LIBBE open system because a year ago I had 3 colonics with a specialist who uses a closed system. If someone has a very clean digestive system, I surmise the closed system works fine … but I have been eating the standard American diet for decades and it was painful because the closed system doesn’t allow one to «release» until the therapist flips a switch and allows it. Even then everything didn’t come out until I got off the table. The LIBBE system allows the body to release as it needs to. My experience was amazingly different …
My body is toxic, and for years I’ve been suffering from allergies, back aches (lower/​upper), headaches, fatigue, and more, so much so that all I wanted to do was sit at home on my comfy couch wishing I felt well enough to go outside and play. Almost 8 months ago, I changed my eating habits and have enjoyed immediate relief … but sometimes, my lymph system gets «stopped up» and it causes me pain … Recently my right arm had become somewhat «useless»… I felt tingling sensations, and it had a dull ache ²⁴⁄₇ — I felt significant pain under my armpit area. I asked my massage therapist to massage that area, which helped somewhat, but not enough. This went on for 2 months … I mention it here because following the colonic, voila, no pain and my arm feels normal. Whatever toxins were sitting there my body was able to finally release. Following the colonic, I went home very tired, but felt peaceful. I tried eating but was full after chewing a few bites. I crashed into a deep sleep. I woke up Saturday morning feeling wonderful …
I believe colonics are absolutely essential, and I’m grateful that I was led to Annabelle for healing … I encourage anyone reading to get this for themselves.
Shalom

I just love Annabelle!!! Annabelle makes you feel warm and cozy and most importantly safe. Her energy is upbeat ad positive. Isn’ t that what you want from someone cleaning out your intestines? I sure as apples do.
She is the best for people who have never experienced a colonic, as she is very informative and very patient with any questions you may have. She is amazing for people who have already had colonics, because her services are far exceeding other facilities. You don’t feel like your in a doctors office, so the process doesn’t feel clinical. Its more like a holistic, healing home in which you come for therapy sessions. Everything is clean, and has all of the proper hygienic requirements, leaving you free to relax and release. At the same time giving you the comfort of a place that seems familiar, easy and happy, all while assuring you are getting the health you are there to receive. I’ve been coming here for a little bit now and I will never go to anyone else.
Annabelle is amazing. She just makes you happy to poop. In a situation that may embarrass some folks, make some folks nervous, or just frighten them, Annabelle will take all your worries away. She is a wonderful person. And wonderful people can do wonderful healing on you. Thank You Annabelle, for Being Wonderful.

Annabel is absolutely amazing. I tried a colonic before and had the worst experience and figured Id give it one more shot based off her reviews and I couldn’t have been more grateful I did it.
Not only was the experience was so awesome because there was no discomfort at all, Annabel’s radiant positive energy, humor, patience made what you would normally not think of pleasant very enjoyable. She is one of those people that you can tell from the second she isn’t an average person. Her vibe shows through and leaves you feeling clear minded, encouraged, and energized.
She is absolutely amazing and I will be continuing to go see her for many years to come and recommend her to anyone.

Thanku so Anabelle! I LOve You!!! Best colonic eVer! So lucky to have found Healing Waters Institute., even my ex-​boyfriend gets a colon cleanse here!

I just finished my first hydrotherapy with Anabell. She is awesome! She is very friendly, funny, and welcoming. She isn’t pushy, either, which I appreciate since a lot of health spas try to upsell customers. She makes you feel at ease in a really WEIRD situation.
The colonic itself is not as scary as you might be thinking it is. You lie on the equivalent of gynecologists table with a toilet strapped to it. You put a little tube in your butt and it puts water in you. You don’t really feel the water going in until you get a sudden «omg must poo» feeling. Then you just — you know — «release». Its not painful, just strange. I definitely freaked out that nothing came out of me, at first. It takes a little bit for stuff to start coming out but you’ll be amazing what crap — literally — you have stuck inside you.
I feel pretty good after my session. I’m definitely willing to give it a go again and see if it can help with my digestive problems.

Let’s start from the beginning… a good friend of mine was telling me all about the cleanses and holistic treatments she had done in the past and was just raving about colonics… I know, I couldn’t believe it either.
After gaining enough courage to decide to get one done, I called Anabelle to ask questions and she recommended I do a cleanse first and colonic immediately following. Without so much as my first name, I was on the phone with her for 30 minutes jotting down notes and taking her advice.
I ended up doing a liver cleanse at her suggestion and followed it with 3 colonics. Let me tell you that if you are going to get a colonic, you want to be as comfortable as humanly possible. My comfort level and immediate trust for Anabelle was unparalleled of that to what I really expected.
My first time, I was extremely nervous and shy if you will while she was massaging my stomach. Without skipping a beat or hesitating a word in conversation she quickly noticed me turning white or green with nausea at one point and put some peppermint oil on a tissue under my chin to which I immediately felt better. She also noticed that I preferred to relax and be alone in the room with a massager on my stomach and left me alone most of the time. This was amazing, I really was able to relax tremendously and do my thing!
I highly recommend her and colonics, my senses were all extremely heightened after this and I felt like a million bucks!

Anabelle is absolutely, hands down, the best person to walk you through this experience. Very gentle and informative as she massages your colon during hte process. Her energy really helps you to «let go». Pardon the pun.
Have fun with it and remember we all take our cars in for oil changes, system flushes, etc. because we want it to run optimally, and not break down.
Well, why do you care about your car more than your life?
Get on it!
Yours in health
AB see you soon, and i’m bringin my uncle this time too.
