Founder of Refresh Your Soul & RYSE Nutrition Program
Wendy Sebastian is a functional nutritionist, certified Colon Hydrotherapy practitioner and instructor, author, and founder of Refresh Your Soul, a gut health and functional nutrition wellness center in Sacramento.

Clinical Focus & Approach
Wendy’s work centers on functional and integrative gut health, supporting clients with concerns such as constipation, bloating, sluggish digestion, food sensitivities, gut imbalance, candida, IBS/IBD, metabolic dysfunction, and hormone-related digestive issues.
Her clinical approach integrates:
- Functional nutrition and dietary therapy
- Education-based lifestyle guidance
- Clinical assessment and pattern recognition
- Therapeutic tools such as colon hydrotherapy
- Consideration of the brain–gut axis and HPA axis
- Support for detoxification and methylation pathways
Colon hydrotherapy is one of the tools Wendy uses within a broader gut health framework. As a clinician and instructor, she emphasizes intentional, phased care that supports the body’s natural processes rather than quick fixes or one-size-fits-all protocols.
