Chantal David  CT

Chantal is a Clinic Director and co-founder of the Arbour Wellness Centre.  Through her own journey in healing (specifically digestive issues) Chantal discovered the benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy.  It was from that point on that she was committed to alternative health.  In 2002, Chantal took her certification for colon hydrotherapy at the Natural Health Outreach Centre in Penticton, BC.  After working for three years as a colon hydrotherapist, Chantal wanted to expand her knowledge and have more to offer her clients.  She continued to work as a colon therapist while going to school to receive her Spa Therapy Certification in 2005.  She now works full time practising both colonics and massage and has also completed additional training in LaStone Therapy, advanced chair massage, and lymphatic drainage. 

Outside of work, Chantal is passionate about a wide variety of outdoor activities and leading a healthy lifestyle.  Future goals are to build awareness about preserving ourselves and the environment.

School of Colon Hydrotherapy and began her studies that would bring her closer to her goals. Shari is now a certified Colon Hydrotherapist and a member of the International Association of Colon Hydrotherapy (I-ACT). Shari aspires to continuously expand her knowledge in alternative health, reach as many people as possible, and provide a therapeutic and healing environment.
