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.

About Colonics
What is Colonics?
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.

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?
What happens during a Colonics?
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 r
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:
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.

RejuvaNest Sauna Pod
Combines 8 proven treatments for compounding results in a single 30-minute session.
The RejuvaNest Sauna Pod is a premium, multi-sensory wellness pod that stacks PEMF, terahertz, far-infrared heat, vibration massage, photon light, negative ions, tri-colour LED and gemstone therapy into one session. Your head stays cool and comfortable while the body does the work.
It's your gateway to improved health, enhanced energy and a renewed sense of vitality.
- LYMPHATIC FLOW - Activates the body’s lymphatic system to support toxin clearance, reduce fluid retention, and enhance immune function.
- DETOXIFICATION - Encourages elimination of waste and congestion through energetic therapy, heat, and movement.
- INFLAMMATION & PAIN - Relieves chronic discomfort that often signals blocked or sluggish lymph pathways.
- CIRCULATION - Improves blood and lymph flow for faster recovery, cellular nourishment, and overall vitality.
- CELLULAR REPAIR - Rejuvenates cells that play a key role in lymphatic, immune, and nervous system function.
- RELAXATION & SLEEP - Shifts the body into a parasympathetic state to restore balance and allow deeper healing.
- SKIN TONE - Assists in clearing puffiness and congestion beneath the skin for a smoother, more radiant appearance.
- ENERGY & CHAKRA FLOW - Aligns internal energy systems and meridian lines, supporting emotional and energetic harmony.
Every session is customised to your individual needs. If one of the functions is not suitable for you, it can simply be switched off and you can continue to enjoy the other therapies the pod provides.
A detailed description of each of the pods functions can be found below.
PEMF Therapy
PEMF is one of the most well-studied, non-invasive ways to stimulate cellular repair and restore natural energy balance.
By sending pulsed electromagnetic waves deep into tissues, PEMF improves circulation, oxygen delivery, and nutrient absorption at the cellular level. Studies published in Bioelectromagnetics and Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research show PEMF reduces inflammation, accelerates bone healing, and improves recovery from injury.
For wellness use, it’s linked to increased energy, reduced pain, and better sleep quality. Think of it as giving every cell in your body a recharge to improve resilience and recovery from the inside out.
Each frequency within this range of 3Hz-23Hz serves a specific purpose:
- 3 Hz - Encourages deep relaxation and helps the body shift into parasympathetic “rest and repair” mode.
- 7.8 Hz (Schumann Resonance) - The Schumann Resonance, aligning you with the Earth’s natural frequency for grounding and emotional balance.
- 10 Hz - Supports alpha brainwave activity, enhancing focus, calmness, and mental clarity.
- 23 Hz - Promotes microcirculation, recovery, and tissue repair, ideal for relieving muscular tension and fatigue.
By running across the entire 3-23 Hz range, the Pod simultaneously activates all these regenerative effects - supporting energy production (ATP), oxygen uptake, lymphatic movement, and cellular detox.
Terahertz Frequency
Harnessing Nikola Tesla’s pioneering principles, this deep-penetrating technology operates at one trillion vibrations per second (1,000,000,000,000 Hz), aligning with the body’s natural cellular frequency.
Terahertz waves gently penetrate deep into the tissues, identifying areas of imbalance and stimulating targeted regeneration. Healthy cells are energised for peak performance, while damaged cells are encouraged to release toxins and repair. Supported by advanced quantum technology, this therapy works like an internal GPS - helping the body restore balance, strengthen immunity, and promote full-body renewal from within.
Far-Infrared Heating
Far Infrared Heat (FIR) is included in the Pod because it penetrates far deeper than traditional heat, reaching muscles, joints, and even organs.
Unlike surface heat that only warms the skin, FIR waves in the 4–14 micron range resonate with the water molecules inside your cells, gently raising your core temperature and triggering profound physiological effects.
Research in Clinical Rheumatology and JAMA Internal Medicine has linked regular FIR sauna sessions with reduced pain, improved circulation, lower blood pressure, and even reduced risk of cardiovascular events. FIR therapy also stimulates heat-shock proteins, which are associated with cellular repair, resilience, and longevity.
For the user, this translates into faster detoxification through sweat, reduced inflammation and stiffness, and a powerful sense of relaxation. FIR also supports metabolic function, making it an ally for healthy weight management, and it encourages the lymphatic system to flush waste more effectively.
Each session in the RejuvaNest Pod combines this deep, cellular heat with PEMF, terahertz, and photon therapies, amplifying the detox and recovery outcomes beyond what a standalone infrared sauna can deliver.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Individuals with heat sensitivity, skin conditions, or open wounds should exercise caution or consult a healthcare professional before using far infrared therapy. It is also advisable for pregnant women or individuals with certain medical conditions, such as cardiovascular issues, to seek medical advice prior to use.
If this function is not suitable for you it can be turned off and you can enjoy the other therapies the pod provides.
Photon Light Technology
At specific wavelengths, Photon therapy penetrates deep into tissue, triggering mitochondrial repair and energy production.
Clinical studies in Photomedicine and Laser Surgery confirm red and near-infrared light improves skin health, accelerates wound healing, reduces inflammation, and enhances muscle recovery. By vibrating at 289,000 times per second, photon light acts like a cellular reset button.
Users experience smoother skin, less pain, and faster recovery. Benefits once reserved for medical-grade laser clinics, now available in the Pod.
Our RejuvaNest Pod uses a combination of 660nm (Deep Red) and 850nm (Near-Infrared) light because together, they deliver the widest range of benefits for your body - from skin deep to deep tissue.
Why We Use 660nm + 850nm Together
660nm Deep Red Light
This wavelength sits in the visible red spectrum and mainly targets the surface layers of the skin. It helps:
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother skin
- Support wound healing and tissue repair
- Improve circulation and overall skin tone
850nm Near-Infrared Light
This wavelength is invisible to the human eye and penetrates much deeper into the body - reaching muscles, joints, and even bones. It helps:
- Reduce inflammation and pain in muscles and joints
- Accelerate muscle recovery after exercise or injury
- Improve cellular energy (ATP) production to support healing and resilience
The Power of Both
Using both wavelengths at the same time means your body receives a complete treatment - surface-level rejuvenation plus deep-tissue recovery. This dual approach is why athletes, practitioners, and everyday users love our technology.
You’ll feel it working on multiple levels = glowing skin, relaxed muscles, reduced stiffness, and a calm, balanced energy flow throughout your body.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Photon wave therapy is generally safe and well-tolerated. However, individuals with light-sensitive conditions, such as certain types of skin cancer or retinal disorders, should exercise caution and consult with their healthcare provider before undergoing photon wave treatments.
If this function is not suitable for you it can be turned off and you can enjoy the other therapies the pod provides.
Healing Stones
The Pod comes with our Harmonising Mat pre-installed. It is embedded with powerful natural stones, carefully selected to support different aspects of physical and energetic health. These stones work synergistically with PEMF, and red light therapy to amplify the mat’s overall healing impact.
Jade Stone
Jade has been valued for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine for its natural healing and balancing qualities. It is known for helping the body relax, rebalance, and restore flow.
- Detoxification and Cleansing
Jade emits a gentle far infrared frequency that supports circulation and assists the body in clearing waste and toxins. - Cooling and Soothing Energy
Often called a cooling stone, jade helps calm the mind, ease tension, and create a deep sense of relaxation. - Supports Skin and Anti Aging
Jade naturally enhances circulation and skin tone. It helps reduce puffiness, improves elasticity, and encourages a radiant glow. - Balances the Body’s Energy (Qi)
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, jade is believed to harmonise the body’s internal energy, bringing emotional balance and mental clarity.
How It Works in the Harmonising Mat
Jade stones are embedded throughout the Harmonising Mat and work together with its light and infrared therapy. This combination helps amplify circulation, relaxation, and overall energetic balance, leaving the body calm, clear, and rejuvenated.
White Needle Stone
White Needle Stone is a rare, highly conductive mineral known for its ability to support the body’s natural energy flow and promote deep relaxation. It helps bring balance back to the body’s bioelectric field, encouraging calmness, clarity, and renewal.
- Amplifies Bioelectric Energy
White Needle Stone helps strengthen the body’s natural electric field, supporting smooth and efficient energy communication between cells. - Supports the Nervous System
This stone is believed to assist in easing tension, calming nerve discomfort, and reducing fatigue by helping the body maintain its natural electric balance. - Encourages Deep Relaxation
By gently influencing brain wave activity, White Needle Stone can help settle the mind and body, creating a calm state that supports rest and stress release.
How It Works in the Harmonising Mat
White Needle Stone is layered within the Harmonising Mat where it works together with PEMF and infrared light therapy. This synergy helps optimise the body’s bioelectric field, enhancing energy flow, relaxation, and recovery from the inside out.
Black Tourmaline Stone
Black Tourmaline is a powerful grounding crystal known for its ability to protect, cleanse, and stabilise the body’s energy. It helps remove stagnant energy, supports circulation, and promotes a sense of calm and balance.
- Supports Detoxification
Black Tourmaline helps the body clear built-up waste and toxins, supporting natural cleansing pathways and helping you feel lighter and more energised. - Improves Circulation and Oxygen Flow
Its natural mineral structure stimulates microcirculation, encouraging healthy blood flow and helping deliver oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. - Grounding and Protection
Known for its protective qualities, Black Tourmaline helps neutralise electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) from everyday devices and restores energetic stability. - Enhances Physical Recovery
This stone is especially helpful after exercise or long days on your feet, supporting faster muscle recovery and easing tension throughout the body.
How It Works in the Harmonising Mat
Black Tourmaline is woven into the Harmonising Mat and works in harmony with PEMF and infrared light therapy. Together, they help amplify detoxification, circulation, and overall recovery, grounding your body while restoring flow and balance.
Vibration Therapy
Vibration physically stimulates lymphatic flow, muscle activation, and circulation.
Research in Journal of Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions shows whole-body vibration reduces pain, improves balance, and speeds muscle recovery.
In the Pod, vibration massage supports detoxification by moving lymph fluid, clears lactic acid after exercise, and induces deep relaxation. Customers describe the sensation as a “full body reset,” leaving them calm yet energized.
Tri-colour LED Light
Tri-LED is included because each wavelength has distinct biological benefits:
- Red light stimulates collagen, circulation, and recovery.
- Blue light reduces acne by killing bacteria and calming inflammation.
- Green light targets pigmentation, reduces redness, and supports mood balance.
Research in Dermatologic Surgery and Lasers in Surgery and Medicine confirms the effectiveness of LED in skin repair, wound healing, and anti-aging. In the Pod, Tri-LED elevates both cosmetic and wellness outcomes, users often notice clearer, brighter skin alongside reduced stress and improved mood.
Negative Ions
Negative ions have the ability to enhance oxygen uptake and regulate the nervous system.
Studies from International Journal of Molecular Sciences suggest negative ions improve serotonin levels, reduce symptoms of depression, and improve sleep. They also help the lungs absorb oxygen more efficiently, making every breath more energizing.
In the Pod, this translates to improved breathing, better cardiovascular health, and faster muscle recovery. Many customers report leaving sessions with clearer thinking and an uplifted mood.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Negative ion therapy is generally safe for most individuals. However, those with respiratory conditions, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), should consult their healthcare provider before using negative ion generators or devices.
If this function is not suitable for you it can be turned off and you can enjoy the other therapies the pod provides.
