RYSE Academy
Become a Certified Professional Colon Hydrotherapist
There Has Never Been a Better Time to Join the Colon Hydrotherapy Profession
Thank you for your interest in becoming a professional colon hydrotherapist. As digestive health concerns continue to rise, more individuals are seeking qualified professionals who understand the important role gut health plays in overall wellness. The need for educated, knowledgeable, and compassionate colon hydrotherapists who are committed to providing safe, ethical, evidence-informed care and advancing the standards of the profession has never been greater.
At Ryse Academy, we are proud to provide education that meets the standards established by the International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy (I-ACT) while preparing students to become confident, compassionate, and highly skilled professionals.
Our goal is not simply to help students earn a certification. Our mission is to develop exceptional therapists who will elevate the profession through integrity, professionalism, excellence, and a genuine commitment to serving others.
A Selective Training Experience
Rise Academy is intentionally different from many training programs.
We believe that becoming a colon hydrotherapist is both a privilege and a responsibility. Because of this, we intentionally keep our classes small so each student receives personalized instruction, mentorship, and hands-on guidance throughout the training process.
Admission is by application and interview. We are looking for individuals who demonstrate professionalism, compassion, maturity, a willingness to learn, and a sincere passion for helping others improve their health.
Not every applicant will be accepted. Our commitment is to protect the integrity of the profession by training individuals who are prepared to uphold the highest standards of client care.
Training with Wendy Sebastian is more than completing a course—it is an opportunity to learn from an experienced clinician, educator, I-ACT Instructor, and leader who is passionate about advancing the colon hydrotherapy profession through education, excellence, and ethical practice.
