I had been thinking about a colonic for a very long time, and the more I learned about how much waste remains in your intestines and builds up over the years, the more I wanted to do it. The perfect opportunity just arose during preparation for a wedding, in conjunction with the healthy lifestyle choices I've been making too. So, I searched "colonics near Tucker", the area I live in, and I found Green Herbs Wellness Center.
This was my progression for choosing them:
Megan is super friendly and professional, and the whole clinic has a very nice vibe. The paperwork was basic and minimal, the pre-cleanse discussion was easy, and the room where the cleanse happens is very comforting with dim light and peaceful music playing. Getting yourself "situated" is done by yourself, and you cover yourself with a sheet, so everything is discreet. For a first-timer, like myself, you just need to get past the awkwardness of what you're doing and the position you're in (which ends up being physically comfortable, I promise!), and before you know it, the process is in motion! And honestly, once you get the hang of it, it's soothing, also kind of amusing :) and obviously very cleansing.
I didn't lose weight immediatley after the 1st session, but I probably did after I later got rid of some of the excess water from the process. However, I did go back 5 days later for session #2, and I did a 2-day juice cleanse from Arden's Garden leading up to it. It was even better the second time! I had already lost almost 2lbs through the week , including the juice cleanse. Then when I was done with my 2nd colonic, I lost another 1.2lbs over the 1-hour session!
My quick-and-dirty suggestions for the day before and after: Before - Drink a lot of water, don't drink caffeine/alcohol/diuretics, eat light, and don't eat or drink 2 hours prior to the actual colonic. After - The 6 hours after the session, eat chicken soup, drink Biolyte (for electrolytes), eat baked chicken/fish, and steamed veggies. No red meat, pork, or raw vegetables, and avoid bread/processed food.
It's a great relief to know I flushed so much waste and toxins from my system. I will definitely come back for another round in the future. ...

Despite rescheduling twice due to lingering symptoms and the potential risk of exposing others, I did not receive any information regarding a cancellation policy on both occasions.
Furthermore, when I needed to reschedule again due to a medical condition (external hemorrhoids), I was informed that I would incur an additional $20 charge because the request was made within 24 hours of the appointment. While I understood the policy, I was surprised to discover that my Groupon was redeemed on the rescheduled date, even though I had not yet utilized the service.
Today, when I attempted to honor my appointment, I encountered an unexpected delay due to a traffic accident—a common occurrence in Atlanta. I called to inquire about a grace period, only to be met with extreme rudeness from a person named Megan, presumably the owner. Megan not only displayed a lack of empathy but also made unwarranted complaints about my rescheduling history, making me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.
The level of customer service and professionalism exhibited by Megan was unacceptable and tarnished my experience with Green Herbs Wellness Center. As a result, I feel that I have wasted $124 on a service I was unable to utilize due to circumstances...
Read moreThis was by far the best colonic I've ever received! (And I've had many more traditional colonics.) Megan is a wonderfully knowledgeable and caring guide who is doing this work because she truly believes in it's importance and benefits to maintaining health and preventing and avoiding serious health issues that many people think they have no control over ... The LIBBE system was excellent, it allows you to actually be in control of the process, and to manage it in a way that really works for YOUR body. I feel it was able to clear so much more stagnancy out of me than I have ever had cleared in a session before. Plus Omigosh there was no smell!! I felt amazing after leaving - not just light and energized like any colonic will make you feel, I actually felt CLEAN! I am so glad to have found this place... in the past, I have only used colonics when I felt issues… but given my experience here, today, I can see starting to use it as a regular tool in keeping my (super sensitive!) digestion calm, and my body as light and clear as possible. Thank you Megan,...
