My Story
Who is the Founder?
Founder Joanne Caruso, spent 30 years in the corporate world of Human Resources working across numerous industries from the print media, hospital, transport, to manufacturing to name a few. As a single mum to 3 beautiful daughters, Joanne always felt something was missing in her career. Her passion for HR was long gone but she persisted as the sole provider of her family taking on side hustles and studying many courses to fill that void.
In 2008, whilst working part time in HR she completed a Diploma in Beauty Therapy and when she finished her Diploma, she landed her dream HR job which put Beauty on the side line. After a few years, she picked it up again and rented rooms here and there on weekends, seeing clients for mostly massage and facials. After more studies, Joanne started making her own vegan and chemical free skin care products. She started going to markets to sell her products which she loved - all the while, still working part time in HR.
In 2017, Joanne was introduced to Colonics by her sister, who was using colonics as an alternative to her cancer treatment, to assist in the removal of toxins from her body. Joanne had the recommended three treatments and the seed was planted. Fast forward to a few years later, while in QLD visiting her sister, she met a woman called Anastasia who took Colonics to the next level. Her spiritual gifts were inspiring and seeing how she was helping her sister, Joanne knew that colonics was her calling. In 2020, Joanne picked up the books and began studying Colonics. Shortly after, the world went into lockdown and in May, Joanne lost her father suddenly so her studies took a back seat. In September of 2021, more tragedy as Joanne lost her sister to cancer. Joanne made a promise to her sister to live life to the fullest - she now had two lives to live - and not spend everyday doing something she didn't love.
Joanne completed her theory and practical training in Colonics and shortly after, she was fortunate to be offered work at a Clinic which she absolutely loved. Joanne's mind became a sponge as she wanted to learn everything about Colonics. She purchased every book, watched every you tube video, listened to every podcast and went on to complete further training, this time learning the Rojas Technique. For more than six months Joanne was working both her HR job and Colonics 6 days a week until she finally made the break and left the corporate world for good.
Joanne's passion for colonics runs deep. It is not just a job to her, it is adding value and improving someone's life. Joanne wasn't in a position to save her sister so it is her mission to do what she can to assist others in removing toxins from their being and if that ultimately prolongs or save their lives then it is worth it.
Joanne holds Certification in:
* Traditional Colonics
* Rojas Colonics Technique
* Reiki & Spiritual Healing
* Crystal Light Bed Healing
* Transformation Coaching
* Diploma in Beauty Therapy (including Swedish, Aromatherapy & Hot Stone Massage, Foot Reflexology and Indian Head Massage)
Plus many more certifications gained over the years including those relevant to her corporate career.
Joanne's Temple Colonics & Wellness Centre has been a work in progress and Colonics was the missing link and now her dream is fulfilled.

Colonics is more than just about the poop! It is about hydrating the body, removing toxins, and gently flushing away impacted poop, biofilm and mucoid plaque that are sticking to the colon wall. Colonic Hydrotherapy is gently flushing the colon of any accumulated waste using filtered water via the rectum.
When you think about it, the colon is more than 1 ½ - 2 meters long and we have the capability of holding on to up to 7kg of waste as well as a plethora of toxins. Knowing that, why wouldn’t you want to have a Colonics and rid your body of all those toxins?

During a colonics a speculum is inserted into the rectum. Attached to the speculum is a small tube that allows filtered water into the colon, and a large tube that takes water and waste out. The tubes are attached to the colonics device so there is no smell or mess. There is a viewing screen on the device where you can see what is being released and this will be discussed with you by your therapist. It really is fascinating and for someone who suffers from constipation it is a relief to see what is actually coming out!
There are two different Colonics systems - Open and Closed. Joanne is trained and experienced in the Closed system and this means that Joanne is with her clients during the whole treatment – inserting the speculum for them, massaging their abdomen during the treatment to get things moving and educating her clients on gut and bowel health.

Infusions
What are Infusions?
Infusions are also known as Implants and Enemas.
At Joanne's Temple, you may choose an infusion that will be inserted and held for a period of 10-12 minutes.
Coffee Infusions
Who says coffee is just for drinking?
Coffee infusions or enema as they are commonly called, have been around for years. In fact, the benefits of a coffee enema were discovered by chance in the war years when a nurse “accidently” put coffee instead of water in an enema bag and gave it to sick soldiers. The results were amazing for the soldiers and we have been using coffee enemas since!
A few benefits of a coffee infusion include: it cleans out the colon, helps to eliminates parasites, boosts energy, improves digestion, stimulates bile flow and stimulates the liver.
In a nutshell, the coffee is absorbed into the mesenteric vein, going directly to the liver via the colon to stimulate the natural detoxification process. It does this by increasing the production of a liver enzyme that captures and binds to the toxins in the bloodstream helping the body to eliminate the toxins safely. The toxins are then flushed out during a colonics session.
Contraindications to Colonics include: those with ulcerative colitis, chrons, acute or ongoing diarrhea.
Other Infusions
We also offer other blends such as:
Biotics Infusion - what better way to give the body a boost of good bacteria than with a biotic infusion! This infusion is done at the end of the treatment and held for 10 minutes.
Turmeric Infusion - a gentle infusion that is beneficial to those who have a lot of inflammation as it is gentle and soothing on the body. It also supports liver function.
Gut Greens Infusion - if you're feeling sluggish, have high acidity and want to give your body a boost, this is the infusion for you! It's packed with super greens and definitely beneficial to most bodies.
NB: If you are new to Colonics, it is recommended that you complete at least 1-3 colonics prior to booking an infusion. You are required to "hold" the infusion for 10-12 minutes, which can be difficult for someone who has never had a colonics before.
