GENERAL FAQ
What makes Truly Terrain Clinic different from other wellness clinics?
Truly Terrain combines into one alternative health clinic the main health resources you need using a terrain approach including ozone colonics, hyperbaric oxygen, infrared sauna, live blood analysis and advanced healing protocols. Our healing oasis gives you incredibly high levels of individualized care and expert insight into how to overcome health challenges naturally. Because we spend 90 minutes during each session devoted to your care, you get more care, more education and more results than other places that operate like a "jiffy lube". It is my life's work and I consider it an honor to help each person God brings my way.
What does "terrain-based healing" mean and why is it important?
Truly Terrain Clinic approaches healing from a terrain based approach instead of the artificial allopathic germ theory and symptom chasing approach. I like what Florence Nightengale said about it... "The specific disease doctrine is the grand refuge of weak, uncultured, unstable minds, such as now rule in the medical profession. There are no specific diseases; there are specific disease conditions" Truly Terrain seeks to offer services that bring the body into homeostasis naturally. The "terrain approach" for health care is important because "allopathic care" is for acute life saving measures, but not the most effective care for overcoming chronic environmental or lifestyle related diseases. For that, our terrain approach and natural services are perfect. They are also far more accessible and affordable.
Where is Truly Terrain Clinic located, and how can I schedule a visit?
Truly Terrain Clinic is located in the Historic District of Taos, New Mexico. Our Address is: 216 Paseo del Pueblo Norte, Suite E, Taos NM 87571. We are across from Red Willow Park (aka... Kit Carson Park) and in Yucca Plaza with Moxie and Copy Queen & King. We offer easy free parking. Please schedule ONLINE at trulyterrain.com through our schedule buttons throughout the site. All you need to schedule is to give your name, phone and email. We do ask for a 72 hour notice to change or cancel an appointment since people schedule their appointments a week or more in advance. When you schedule you will be sent an intake form with instructions to best prepare for your session and fill out so I know important information to give you the best personalized care.
Are online consultations available if I can’t visit Taos, NM?
Oh Yes! Truly Terrain Clinic gives online consultations both to those out of the area and in the area. There are many people who just want to stay home these days or have uber busy schedules. You can schedule the service titled Consultation on our website. It is 90 minutes long and we use a zoom link for more personalized online appointment. You will also get a email recapping our session together and available for follow up questions via email or text after it.
What should I expect during my first visit or consultation?
It all depends on your current health situation. Most people leave ozone colonics and and infrared sauna sessions GLOWING! They feel so light and free. All the bloating and gas is gone so they have a flatter belly and noticeably feel more hydrated both internally and with their skin. Just one session can be dramatic but best advised to do 2 days in a row of colonics and if can, do an infrared sauna session after the colonic. For maximum results, choose to do 3 days in a row of colonics and infrared sauna and we offer a 3 day detox package to make it more affordable.
When doing hyperbaric oxygen, that is a total feel good during and after. Everyone LOVES hyperbaric oxygen because you immediately go into parasympathetic nervous system mode of rest and digest and healing. It becomes an escape from high stress world and you feel so nurtured like in your mothers womb. People go in the chamber slowly, often with pain but spring out and notice that their pain is less or even gone. Especially older folks. People also have remarked that they breath and sleep better. Even with just one session most people notice a difference. A highly suggested book to read on Hyperbaric Oxygen to answer the questions about what would happen if I did a series and why, please consider Dr Paul Harch MD book: The Oxygen Revolution: 3rd edition. Therefore we offer packages to make it more affordable of 3 to 10 sessions at a time.
During a consult or live blood analysis session you should expect me to ask you very detailed questions about your health and your medical history including dental and medical procedures, work, home, hobby and lifestyle toxicity exposures, along with asking how you feel about doing detox or changing your diet or exercise. I ask a lot of questions and listen to you and what you have experienced and believe that you are your best doctor. No one knows you better than you. So I use this time to find out about you, what you have gone through and use my 23 years experience and excellent training to help you. During the Live Blood Analysis expect to arrive hungry because you will 5 fast five hours but can bring a meal to eat after I get the sample. I will be pricking your finger for one little drop of blood and placing that blood on the microscope for you to see just how well your blood is functioning which tells you and me so much about your health. This is a highly informative 90 minutes session.
COLONIC FAQ
What is a colonic?
A colonic, also known as colon hydrotherapy, is a gentle cleansing of the large intestine using warm, filtered water. The process helps remove accumulated waste and supports the body’s natural detox pathways. At Truly Terrain Clinic in Taos, New Mexico, colonics are offered in a calm, supportive environment as part of a terrain‑based approach to wellness.
What is an ozone colonic and how is it different from a regular colonic?
An ozone colonic combines traditional colon hydrotherapy with medical‑grade ozone introduced into the water. Ozone is a highly oxygenated form of oxygen that is commonly used to support detoxification and microbial balance. Ozone colonics at Truly Terrain Clinic are designed to support deeper cleansing while remaining gentle and controlled.
Who may benefit from ozone colonics?
Ozone colonics are often chosen by individuals seeking digestive support, detoxification, immune support, or relief from feeling sluggish or inflamed. Often for mold, chemical and heavy metal toxicity or parasitic /yeast overgrowth and constipation or even in cases of diahrea. Clients visiting Taos for wellness retreats or cleanses often incorporate ozone colonics as part of a comprehensive detox program.
What should I expect during an ozone colonic session?
Sessions are private and typically last about 60-90 minutes. We are not by the clock, but by the colon. Clients are guided through the process and encouraged to relax while the colon gently releases waste. Many people report feeling lighter, clearer, and more energized afterward.
How often should ozone colonics be done?
Frequency varies based on individual goals. Some clients choose a single session for general support, while others include multiple sessions during a cleanse or retreat. Personalized recommendations are provided at Truly Terrain Clinic based on overall wellness objectives.
INFRARED SAUNA FAQ
What is infrared sauna therapy?
Infrared sauna therapy uses radiant heat to warm the body directly rather than heating the surrounding air. This allows for a deeper, more comfortable experience compared to traditional saunas. At Truly Terrain Clinic in Taos, infrared sauna sessions are used to support relaxation, circulation, and detox through gentle sweating.
What are the benefits of infrared sauna therapy?
Infrared sauna therapy is commonly used to support detox pathways, muscle relaxation, circulation, and nervous system calming. Many clients also use sauna sessions to unwind, reduce stress, and support overall wellness while living at or visiting high altitude.
Frequency varies based on individual goals. Some clients choose a single session for general support, while others include multiple sessions during a cleanse or retreat. Personalized recommendations are provided at Truly Terrain Clinic based on overall wellness objectives.
How is infrared sauna different from a traditional sauna?
Traditional saunas heat the air, which can feel intense for some individuals. Infrared saunas use light waves that penetrate the body more deeply at lower temperatures, making sessions more tolerable while still promoting effective sweating.
How long is a typical infrared sauna session?
At Truly Terrain you are given a full hour to relax and detox in our new Relax Sauna Detox Room. Most infrared sauna sessions in the cabin / wood box infrared saunas last between 30 and 45 minutes. HOWEVER, we use the unique Relax Sauna where a typical session is only 20-30 minutes in the sauna because it is far more powerful penetrating 3 inches into the body for a deeper detox. Clients are encouraged to hydrate before and after sessions and to listen to their body’s signals.
Is infrared sauna therapy safe?
Infrared sauna therapy is generally considered safe when used appropriately. At Truly Terrain Clinic, sessions are designed to be supportive and restorative. Clients with specific health concerns are encouraged to discuss them before beginning sauna therapy.
HYPERBARIC OXYGEN FAQ
What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing concentrated oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This process increases the amount of oxygen delivered to tissues throughout the body. At Truly Terrain Clinic in Taos, NM, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used to support recovery, circulation, inflammation balance, and overall terrain health. You will also benefit inside the chamber from the Red Light Therapy Pad used.
Who can benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is often used by individuals recovering from physical stress, athletes, people living at high altitude, and visitors adjusting to Taos 7000 plus elevation. It is over 9000 feet up at the mountain and in Red River and Angels Fire Ski Resorts. Clients also use HBOT as part of detox programs and wellness retreats.
Can hyperbaric oxygen therapy help with high‑altitude adaptation?
Yes, absolutely. Hence Hyperbaric Oxygen in offered at most of the top ski resorts around the world. Many clients use hyperbaric oxygen therapy to support oxygenation and recovery while living in or visiting Taos, New Mexico. Increasing oxygen availability can help the body adapt more comfortably to elevation. Hyperbaric Oxygen is oxygen under pressure which is known for being completely different than just breathing oxygen without the pressure. If offering an oxygen bar could do what Hyperbaric Oxygen could do, I would offer it.
How long is a hyperbaric oxygen session?
Sessions typically last between 60 and 90 minutes. Clients relax comfortably inside the chamber while breathing oxygen and they can read a book or take their phone and set into the chamber. We provide wifi so they can access what they want to watch online to occupy their time in the Hyperbaric Oxygen chamber. However, many people will just meditate or sleep in the chamber.
Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy safe?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has a long history of use and is generally considered safe when properly administered. At Truly Terrain Clinic, sessions are conducted in a controlled environment with attention to client comfort and safety. Suggest reading the book by Dr Paul Harch MD The Oxygen Revolution 3rd edition on the safety and efficacy of Hyperbaric Oxygen and what it can do for you. There has NEVER been harm caused by a MILD Hyperbaric Chamber such as we use at Truly Terrain. They are the SAFEST chambers in the world and used in more doctors offices than any other chamber due to their effectiveness and safety.
LIVE BLOOD ANALYSIS FAQ
What is live blood analysis?
Live blood analysis involves observing a small sample of fresh blood under a microscope to assess patterns related to terrain health. This process offers educational insight into factors such as circulation, oxidative stress, and overall balance. At Truly Terrain Clinic in Taos, live blood analysis is used as a wellness assessment tool, not a diagnostic test.
What is dry blood analysis?
Dry blood analysis examines a dried blood sample to observe clotting patterns and markers related to systemic balance. It provides complementary information to live blood analysis and is often used to guide wellness and detox strategies.
What can blood analysis tell me?
Blood analysis can offer insight into terrain factors such as inflammation patterns, oxidative stress, and circulation tendencies. Clients often find it helpful for understanding how lifestyle, nutrition, and detox support may impact overall wellness.
Is live blood analysis diagnostic?
No. Live and dry blood analysis at Truly Terrain Clinic are educational tools and are not intended to diagnose disease or replace medical testing. They are used to support awareness and informed wellness planning.
SERIES OF SESSIONS FAQ
Why do people choose a series of sessions instead of a single visit?
Many clients experience deeper benefits when services are combined or repeated over time. A series of sessions allows the body to progressively support detox pathways, oxygenation, and nervous system balance.
What is included in a 3‑day cleanse or extended retreat?
Cleanses and retreat programs at Truly Terrain Clinic may include combinations of ozone colonics, infrared sauna therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, blood analysis, and personalized detox support. Programs are designed to be immersive while remaining supportive and restorative.
Who are retreats and cleanse programs best suited for?
Programs are suitable for individuals seeking a focused reset, detox support, or deeper wellness experience. Clients often travel to Taos specifically for these offerings due to the area’s high‑altitude and natural environment.
How are programs personalized?
Each series or retreat is tailored based on individual goals, tolerance, and wellness priorities. Recommendations are guided by consultation, blood analysis insights, and overall terrain considerations. Please schedule the Live Blood Analysis session in office or an online consultation to answer your questions about personalizing a program for you. I will need information obtained during that session in order to individualize a program.
How do I prepare for a series or retreat program?
Preparation guidance is provided before arrival and may include hydration, dietary adjustments, and rest recommendations. During a series if you can, it is best not to work but to spend the 3-10 days focused on your healing. The goal is to help clients arrive ready to receive the full benefit of their wellness experience in Taos, New Mexico.
