Owner

Dixie, a long-time resident of beautiful Durango, Colorado, has forever been passionate about living well and helping others. Being a proponent of Eastern medicine and philosophy, Dixie has studied various cultural traditions like Traditional Chinese Medicine and Reiki. In 1995, Dixie started her profession as a Colon Hydrotherapist under the direction of Dr. James Forleo. After training with Dr. Forleo for two years, Dixie bought the Colon Health Center and has grown and maintained the practice for over 22 years. In that time, Dixie has developed a stellar rapport with the Durango community, has helped countless individuals regain control over their health and wellbeing, and is in high demand for her extensive knowledge in optimizing gastrointestinal health. In recent years, Dixie was introduced to the power of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), and has since attended many educational LLLT seminars and lectures, and has received training and subsequent certification demonstrating her competent use with the highest quality medical lasers available. Dixie works very close with Dr. Michelle Hemingway to ensure the very best care is delivered to patients of Animas Laser Therapy.

When Dixie is not working with patients, she enjoys gardening, golfing, and spending time with her children and grandchildren. Dixie is an amazing person whose number one goal is to help others. She is entirely selfless and will do anything in her power to help those around her. You literally cannot find a kinder, more gentle soul.
