Carla Roter, Director
“Live, Love, Laugh!” This is Carla Roter’s motto—for herself, her family, and everyone she meets. It is impossible not to be affected by Carla’s passionate and compassionate spirit.
Carla dreamt of 'healing the world' ever since she was a child. She followed that path to become a nurse in her native Montreal. There and in her travels to the UK she worked in a number of very difficult roles including in high-risk psychiatric wards (think One Flew over the Cookoo's nest), and with the terminally ill. In spite of a predominant culture of professional distance and superiority, Carla was a favorite among patients for her warmth and human compassion, even in extreme circumstances.
Shifting her career focus, Carla then had two children and moved to Toronto. She began to channel her need to heal the word into creating a musical clown show, which soon became quite successful (playing at the Poor Alex Theater in Toronto). But her path took a dire turn as she fell extremely ill from mercury poisoning and Candida. The silver lining of this sickness was that she was lead to holistic medicine and specifically colon hydrotherapy.
Throughout her illness, Carla had become the object of the style of health care delivery that she had resisted while working as a nurse. She was misdiagnosed, over-prescribed and not listened to. It was only though working with Homeopath Dr. Andre Sain and Dr. Carolyn Dean that Carla began to recover. Here she was introduced to colon hydrotherapy.
Carla's passion as a caregiver once again took the fore as she studied to become a colon hydrotherapist. She quickly became an active advocate for the treatment as well. Carla has tried to bring accountability and recognition to the field ever since she started pursuing it. This has been a hard battle as there is much misinformation, a general mistrust of colon hydrotherapy among health care professionals and many colonic therapists who do not have sufficient medical credentials. In spite of this, Carla tried to create a Colon Hydrotherapy Association. She also trained over 30 nurses at her own Colon Hydrotherapy School of Canada, which was designed to offer nurses a 200 hour practical education in the field.
Alongside Carla's drive to promote Colon Hydrotherapy and bring standards to the field, she has also run her own clinic, delivering an irreplaceable service in over 10 000 treatments. As with every other pursuit, Carla's guiding principle is 'Live, Love Laugh' and she tries to make good on that with each treatment, often becoming much much more then a health care provider to her clients (for proof, read some of her testimonials). Carla opens her arms to the people who walk through her door.
A third dimension to Carla's pursuit of colon hydrotherapy is innovation. She has modified her approach and apparatus many times over the years in a quest to give the most effective and safe colon hydrotherapy treatment possible. With over 25 years of trials she has finally achieved such an optimal process. It is a holistic approach that takes into account many dietary and lifestyle factors. It also ensures that clients maintain proper electrolyte and intestinal flora balance throughout the treatment.
Most recently, Carla has renewed her mission to assist the field of colon hydrotherapy in gaining credibility and standards. She has perfected a process of alternative preparation for colonoscopy and has converted her system into using 100% isotonic solution. She continues to improve the lives of her clients and 'heal the word' one colonic at a time.
