Comment by Mike Hinkle on November 28, 2009 at 9:22pm: Thanks, I had seven rooms and a therapist break room. I had washer/dryer, micowaves, double-sided refrigerator. Each room had their own theme. Tiki Hut, Rain Forest, Light House, Garden, Oriental, Angel and Teddy Bear!!

Comment by Crystal Dawn Suovanen on November 28, 2009 at 8:59pm: Mike, that room is so majestic! I saved the picture in a folder on my computer called "Business Inspiration".

Very nice.

Comment by Mike Hinkle on November 28, 2009 at 7:57pm: This was my room at the center. It was called the Tiki Hut! The sauna is off to the right. I did the massage under the Tiki Hut! There was a flat screen TV that I played videos on of seascapes. The customers said they felt they were at the beach.

Comment by Marissa on November 28, 2009 at 6:40pm: Oh yes! I am most definitely going to get one. I'm saving my pennies, although I like Crystal's plan on how to make one..... We shall see! Given the fact that I rent a room and am not looking to get a larger space until next year, the Steamy Wonder seems to be the most logical steam apparatus.

Comment by Crystal Dawn Suovanen on November 28, 2009 at 6:23pm: I want one so bad, but am going to make my own. We'll see how it turns out... :P

Comment by Mike Hinkle on November 28, 2009 at 4:53pm: Marissa, did you decide to get the Steamy Wonder?

Comment by Marissa on November 28, 2009 at 4:37pm: Just fueling my fire to get my very own steam tent for my treatment room!

Comment by Mike Hinkle on November 28, 2009 at 4:15pm: The methods I learned were from the Biotone Team. They travel around the country and present a two day program that teaches you to do mudding with no shower facilities. I was lucky, I had the sauna and shower with Rainfall Sprinkler.

Comment by Crystal Dawn Suovanen on November 28, 2009 at 2:58pm: Would love to learn how to do it. It's one thing to read about a modality, but another to successfully perform it.

Comment by Mike Hinkle on November 28, 2009 at 2:50pm: I don't know about the enema part but you are close on the other parts. Dr. Christopher, a world renown herbalist, believed in it and has passed it down to followers that use this method to even fight cancers.

My steam machine at the Center in Pensacola was a sauna. I would use it during the four hour sessions and prior to muddings. My clients loved it.
