Anne was a competitive athlete throughout childhood and college. She competed in Division I and II for springboard diving at the University of New Hampshire and graduated with a BA in English Literature. Anne put her English degree to work in Japan where she lived and taught ESL for 4 years. While living in Kyoto, she studied Japanese language, history, and cooking.
Leaving Japan in 1992, Anne traveled to several Southeast Asian countries. During this journey, her interests in Eastern religion and culture grew. She especially became interested in meditation and Tibetan Buddhism while trekking in Nepal. Following her travels, Anne moved to San Francisco in the fall of 1992 and began a more rigorous study of yoga and meditation.
From 1993-1999 she studied Kundalini Yoga Meditation and Hatha yoga with James Burgardt. During that time, she became certified in Shiatsu Massage and Colon Hydrotherapy. In 1997 Anne attended The Anne Wigmore Institute in Puerto Rico where she learned the basics for living foods and healing holistically through body, mind, and spirit. She went on to receive a certificate in Living Foods Lifestyle from The Optimum Health Institute.
Anne lives with her husband and son in San Francisco.

Jenny Kuenz
Certified Massage Therapist
Certified Colon Hydrotherapist
Jenny graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Biology. Her intention at the time was to study allopathic medicine of some sort, but she never deeply felt as though it was the right direction for her. Feeling unguided, she then spent about 5 years in the biotech/pharmaceutical industry. At the time of her first colonic she was ready for a career change. One year later she became a certified Zen Shiatsu massage therapist followed by training with Anne and an apprenticeship at Body Harmony. She has been certified since early 2006.
Jenny takes a compassionate approach to her work as a colon hydrotherapist. She wants her clients to be comfortable with where they are in their healing process, as lifestyle habits can be difficult to change and patience with oneself is imperative. If necessary, she may give gentle encouragement to make positive changes in diet and health. She likes to integrate shiatsu (finger-pressure) into her sessions, and does a very thorough massage of the belly to get things moving.
