The Soma Serenity Center, offering colon hydrotherapy, opened this March, in Lakeville. The center is owned and managed by Phoenix Galban, a colon hydrotherapist, and is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and by appointment on weekends.

Galban has been a certified colon hydrotherapist since 2014. Originally, she became certified by the American Institute of Natural Health, and then followed that with certification from the International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy (I-ACT). She has also received training in massage therapy, energy medicine, first aid and CPR. Since becoming a certified colon hydrotherapist, Galban has practiced in California, Arizona and Minnesota.

“I wanted to create a space that feels like home, where people can experience a safe, warm environment that promotes better lifestyle choices to nourish one’s body, mind and spirit,” Galban says of her new office space.

Colon hydrotherapy removes stagnant waste matter and toxic bacteria along with cellular debris from the body. It can offer relief from unhealthy digestive symptoms and often helps achieve greater immunity, enhanced energy, clearer skin, improved mental clarity and a general elevation in mood.

Galban says she believes in seeing people as a whole and not as something that is broken. She explains that maintaining a healthy balance for the soma and cleansing as needed may help individuals with a variety of health issues, including preparing for a colonoscopy, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), constipation, parasite cleansing, depression, stress and more.

Galban discovered colon hydrotherapy when she was looking for answers to her own health challenges. In discovering this ancient modality that was new to her, she also found her path and calling for being in service to others and sharing her knowledge and skills in the practice of colon hydrotherapy.
