“Maryke Vogel, Iridology & Natural Medicine graduate, developed an Iridology, Herbal & Naturopathy practice and eventually added Phenomenal Colonics to assist clients wishing to build health. Although we had been in touch, we had not met for some years, so when I was impressed with a recent flyer by the development of her work, I got in touch and decided to experience the colonic myself.
True to her beautiful online information, the colonic was phenomenal, and the result was as well. Taking an hour an one half, with gentle fills: first of water, then herbal teas, then three washes of garlic tea, followed by coffee and then water. I felt renewed, cleansed and very glad to have enjoyed wonderful conversations with Maryke during the sessions. I walked up England Lane to the Cinnamon Deli where I ordered a fresh green juice and salad, and after sitting in the sunshine on this charming street, walked the two miles up to Hampstead. Maryke’s offering is a great support for anyone seeking health and wellness.”

“Dear Maryke,
I’ve found the Vitruvian Clinic by chance, making a search on Google. I have to say, the reviews were absolutely true. Maryke is a truly high professional practitioner with years of experience on her background. She has looked after my mother, 77yo. She has performed a hydrocolontherapy and the whole experience was very pleasant, following gold standards in terms of clinical knowledge, protocols, hygiene and safety. I am a registered RGN Matron Clinical Nurse and I highly recommend Maryke care and service, as well as the stunning Vitruvian clinic asset in the heart of Belsize Park.”

“Dearest Maryke,
First and foremost, thank you so much for last week’s Coffee Cleanse Colonic.My head has not felt this clear and light in an absolute age! The fog has been lifted…
My whole system is finding a new norm: my physical, mental, emotional and life energies are so much more aligned. As a result it has improved my decision-making. Since the colonic I have naturally overcome some blockages in my professional and personal life i.e. because I was so blocked-up inside it meant I did not have the clarity to see what I needed to do. An unexpected benefit and now that I think about it, it makes absolute sense.
You are head and shoulders above other practitioners I have worked with in the past.
Keep making the awesome difference that you do.”
PB COMPANY DIRECTOR
“Dear Maryke, I travel all over the world and try different treatments and therapies in famous spas and clinics, including colonics. But until I was recommended to you by a good friend, I did not know the meaning of a good colonic.
You are the best, and I will always make time in my life and travels to pop in for a session, wherever you are.
I feel refreshed, rejuvenated and full of new energy.”

“I’ve now had two colonic treatments and am going to have a coffee enema within the next couple of weeks. Maryke is very professional but also caring and clearly very knowledgeable about her subject. I was slightly anxious about the treatment but was soon put at ease and didn’t find it embarrassing or uncomfortable. I used to have a very stressful job which I resigned from three years ago following a seizure but have continued to feel very emotional about everything that had occurred. Following my treatment, I actually dreamed about my old boss, all very odd, but when I woke up I didn’t have a sense of panic anymore. I’ve found that I’m now also able to discuss my old life without getting worked up or upset. After hoarding such unhappy and negative emotions for over three years, I don’t know how the colonic helped me to let go, but I’m certain that it did and I feel much, much better for it.”

“I was referred to Maryke last spring by my naturopath, who advised a course of colonic hydrotherapy treatments alongside the herbal preparations, dietary and life-style changes prescribed. Though I was hesitant and more than a little nervous at the beginning of my first session, Maryke’s warmth and gentle, reassuring approach eased me out of any awkwardness or embarrassment; she took great care to answer all my questions and concerns and talked me through every stage of the treatment, remaining by my side throughout the session.
I’ve had five bi-monthly sessions to date and have found in Maryke a skilled and ethical practitioner, sensitive to her clients’ needs and committed to their well-being. Maryke works from a holistic perspective and each session – though essentially the same procedure/treatment – is unique; there are no ‘series of x sessions’ recommended or a treatment frequency recommendation – in fact quite the reverse. Maryke has helped to me become more aware of my body’s cleansing and healing mechanisms and encouraged me to pace treatment according to its needs; her thoughtful advice and considerable knowledge has also supported my quest to become more educated about – and to better understand – the miracle that is my own body.
I have experienced not only a shift in my physical health (weight-loss, more energy) but also in my emotional well-being too – something that I didn’t necessarily anticipate. I’ve noticed that many things – thoughts, feelings, old behaviour patterns and habits – that used to bother me have faded or disappeared all together; I am more grounded, more awake and more emotionally free than I can remember and feel that with the cleansing and elimination of old, unassimilated and toxic material from my system, all the unhealthy emotional debris is also being discarded.
Finding a good practitioner is not always easy and I have been incredibly fortunate to have been referred to an exceptional one; Maryke has synthesised her vast knowledge and experience as a writer/researcher, teacher, herbalist, naturopath and iridologist to create unique treatments that enhance and better support the body’s own healing processes. Maryke is a highly experienced practitioner, with a deep enthusiasm and passion for health, well-being and the healing arts and a caring and dedicated attitude towards her clients; I unreservedly recommend her to you all.”

“I highly recommend Maryke Vogel. She is the person to consult if you want to improve your health and be the best you can be. It all starts with the state of your digestive system. If it’s not working properly, everything else will let you down. Invest in yourself and make an appointment with Maryke for a colonic.”

YVONNE MOORE
“I’ve been coming to Belsize Health for several years to have colonic treatments with Maryke.
Having had colonics all over the world I’m happy to say that Maryke is one of best practitioners that I’ve come across. She ensures that each treatment is effective and relevant to my condition at the time, and ,in particular, her use of garlic seems to have a very positive effect on me.I have no hesitation in recommending her, and thought that she deserves a testimony for the great work that she does.”
M.O.
“Maryke’s friendly and professional manner put me instantly at ease the first time I saw her. She uses her extensive knowledge about the digestive system, her years of experience and her own herbal mixutres to make the treatment as comfortable and as effective as possible. I wouldn’t even consider going to anyone else!”

“I first saw Maryke for a colonic treatment due to the fact I had terrible bloating around my stomach and a stabbing pain around my liver and gallbladder area for over 3 years. I was told by a practioner whom I was seeing that the nutrients from the food I was eating was not being absored by my system properly hence the tiredness I was also experiencing. I had also developed a terrible red inflammed rash around & under my nose called perioral dermatitis. I saw a dermatologist about this problem and was told that 3 months of antibiotics would sort out the rash.
Rash before my colonic treatments with Maryke
I was against taking antibiotics and was determined to sort out my problems an alternate natural way. I had just finished reading Maryke’s brilliant book called ‘The Earth on which we live’, of which many experiences I could relate to from her book so I was very excited to then meet & book my colonic with Maryke. I had already had a colonic a few years prior so sort of knew what it was about.
My colonic with Maryke was wonderful, compared to my first experience with another practitioner which I thought was a waste. Maryke spoke with me during the entire colonic about my diet and went into great detail about what I should be cutting out and adding in on my diet. She spoke to me about specific supplements and herbs that would help me feel a lot more energized and help clear up my inflammed rash.
Maryke’s abundance of knowledge and care as a practioner certainly helped me feel very comfortable during my treatments i had with her. After my colonics I had contacted Maryke on various occassions by email regarding help with my nutrition & help on other health issues.
My rash completely disappeared after my natural treatments with Maryke Vogel
I can only say one thing and that is Maryke’s passion and knowledge of her work is outstanding and she has helped me massively with my health issues. For this I’m so grateful and can’t believe after 3 years of trips back and forth to my GP and various blood tests I’ve finally got rid of my stomach pain, liver/gallbladder pain and even better my inflammed rash around my nose 🙂 My energy levels are amazing and I feel normal again which is the best part of it!
I would only ever recommend Maryke to anyone of my family or friends. Maryke was so kind to me and took care of my needs and taught me how to care for my body. She did not just meet my needs physically but mentally and emotionally. Thank you Maryke for superb and professional care.”
GENINE ECKHOUT
“Due to chronic health problems, I have been having regular colonic hydrotherapy for the past 9 years, during which time I’ve tried out various colonic hydrotherapists in London.
Colonic hydrotherapy is not a mechanical procedure but an art and science that depends entirely upon the individual skill of the practitioner. It requires an enormous degree of skill and experience to achieve good results, particularly where there are difficult bowel problems.
Although there are many practitioners in London, it is rare to find someone like yourself who can provide such a consistently high degree of excellence in all situations and I hope to be able to continue seeing you at Belsize Health.”
ALICIA
“My wife and I go to Maryke Vogel regularly for colonic cleansing. Cleansing is not just a matter of pumping water in and out but recognising succeeding problems as the session progresses such as fecal blockages, gas, toxicity caused by foods you’ve been eating and so on. Marike tracks each problem as it comes up and supplements the water with the appropriate herbs. She works really hard to bring you to cleanliness; and what’s more gives you a free diagnosis of your general condition. By the end, we feel marvellous and fortunate to have been in such competent hands. Worthy every penny, a real treat.”
DANIEL AND LEAH MAKOVER
“I had several hydrotherapy sessions with Maryke which helped my skin condition and bowel movements. The treatment also left me feeling more energetic.”
A.P.
“Dear Maryke, thanks for a great session. Every time I get a treatment from you I feel so much better. It’s really noticeable. I now have more energy, less bulk and feel great. It also helps me to keep my eating habits on track in the wake of a very busy work life. I now don’t feel like eating poor quality, unhealthy food anymore. Everyone should have such treatments from time to time. I also value your knowledge and advice, it really makes a difference to work with someone I can trust.”
