Training Testimonials


Overview

Thank you for considering studying colon hydrotherapy with me. I look forward to working with you.

The lesson plan and lectures at Alder Brooke will cover areas concerning business and office procedures, ethics, health and sanitation, anatomy and physiology focusing on the digestive system, colon hydrotherapy – theory, history and practice including indications for the therapy and contra-indications. Some classes include complementary modalities when time permits and student requirements are completed. All students have the opportunity to practice with a minimum of 30 sessions as required by I-ACT for the professional colon hydrotherapy certification.

You must be a member in good standing with I-ACT in order to gain Professional Colon Hydrotherapy Certification. The application for I-ACT membership and to become certified as a Professional Colon Hydrotherapist may be downloaded here. The same application together with the membership packet may be downloaded here. The current fee for membership is $150.00 a year.

The lesson plan and requirements for all certifications through I-ACT are listed on their web site at
www.i-act.org as well as below.

Remember that I-ACT requirements are different than Alder Brooke Healing Arts lesson assignments. If you want to only attain certification through I-ACT, please let me know. The additional assignments are not I-ACT requirements and are for your learning benefit through Alder Brooke Healing Arts.

I have found that students do well when they come to class prepared. The additional assignments are designed to help you gain a strong foundation of education that you may demonstrate and apply here in the training program.

With diligent home study and practice in the training program you will accelerate your learning process and enjoy the time here as you gain new skills, learn the tricks of the trade and enhance your touch working hands-on with clients.

I am pleased to invite you to the customized courses that I offer. These are professional colon hydrotherapy certification courses. I am certified to teach on both open and closed systems. Students will have an opportunity to learn the open system at Alder Brooke in Eugene, OR. See www.colonic.net to learn about the open system. This system is a unique FDA registered professional colon hydrotherapy device. I-ACT recognizes both open and closed systems, therapist and clients choose their preference. At Alder Brooke we offer training on the LIBBE open system only. We offer both I-ACT professional colon hydrotherapy certification and LIBBE certification. In addition to the open system, I have over 10,000 hours of experience on the closed system. Please contact me if you wish to receive training at your location on your own equipment.

Most classes and sessions are designed from Monday through Friday. Class times are from 8am to 6pm most days.

When you enroll I will send the assignments with instructions. The books need to be purchased separately. Let me know if you have trouble getting any of the books. The "Principals for Colonic Irrigation" is sometimes challenging to find as it is out of print, I could send you a lender of that if necessary. You may try www.amazon.com.

Please begin by printing and filling out the registration form which you can download here.

I will then send you an enrollment agreement. Please fill it out the best you can including the dates and tuition amounts. When you enroll, a non-refundable fee of $1777.00 is required. Payment by credit card or check is acceptable. The remainder of tuition is due three weeks before class begins as is outlined on the agreement.

 

 

Thanks again for your interest. I am excited that you may be joining us. If you need other or additional arrangements please ask. I will do my best to accommodate you.

I look forward to connecting with you more soon!

Blessings,
Tara Alder
Instructor with the International Association of Colon Hydrotherapy
