Gravity East Village

Great experience with their services! Lena, who helped me out was extremely knowledgable and personable. I will be coming back for sure

Gravity East Village never disappoints! After receiving my colonic therapy session, I felt as if so many toxins had been released. My mind felt clearer and I felt an immense amount of energy! My friends and colleagues have told me that I seem to have a glow! My therapist Lena made me feel very comfortable from start to finish. Every session with her is one that is not only healing for my colon and physical body but for my mind and spiritual self as well. I always leave feeling rejuvenated and refreshed after each session! If you are looking for a truly transformative healing experience, Look no further than Gravity!

Best help for the body. Always in good hands too.

Decided to follow my dreams and get my first colonic. The environment and staff at Gravity were very warm and welcoming (my appointment was with Jennifer – she was great). Would most definitely recommend them!

love this place. I will probably be a life long customer. They truly care about their clients and it shows.

I appreciated that Cynthia used her essential oils up until the point where she went into the sales pitch and said «you seem like the kind of person who likes a natural lifestyle and you’re open to trying new things (I’m getting a colonic-​duh), I distribute these Young Living oils and you can buy them directly through me.»
Please, please, please don’t try and sell me something while I’ve got a tube up my butt. Also… please don’t leave the room while I’ve got a tube up my butt.
Won’t be getting a colonic ever again. Nope.

I have been a client of Gravity East Village for years. Donna and her staff are professional, knowledgable, and personable. Every time I go to Gravity, I feel like I am going to a good friend’s house… the energy is comfortable and inviting. Donna’s sessions are incredible… I feel so light and energized afterwards. Her extensive knowledge of colon health and holistic nutrition add to the experience. Go get the best colonic in NYC, relax in a peaceful environment, and learn a lot about your health!

After so many troubles with my colon and constant pains, my husband suggested I get a colonic followed by a change in diet (obviously). We ended going the 2 of us there– because he probably needed it as bad as I did. It was out first time. I chose gravity based on the reviews and the fact that it went beyond the simple «medical» aspect. If anything, it had to be a whole different experience! Reading the reviews on Unilocal I was aware that this is an apartment– and how charming! — transformed into healing center. I was taken care of by Debbie. I loved how I could relate to her. No, it does not look like a hospital, but honestly it feels great for a beginner! We talked during the whole session, mostly about our lives and how food affected them. She is great fun and relaxing, and radiant! Loved it, can only recommend her. My stomach after the session didn’t feel so different, but I was a bit lightheaded. The green juice that thy recommended us to buy and drink near Thomson Square was fabulous. Sitting on a bench, it was feeling like a new path to redemption. Debbie also recommended me a book to read appropriate to my issues as well as the name of a therapist. It’s a whole program you are in for! Thank you.

Donna is the best colonic giver. She makes a slightly uncomfortable thing, comfortable. She uses a Gravity system which is Soo much better than machines (I know from personal exp.) this system is more comfortable for the client and gives a deeper clean-​out! It is the only way to get the Best colonic. Also, Donna knows So much about G.I. Tract care and will let you know what she sees in your sessions to better your system (nutrition-​wise.) she is also one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I’ve been getting colonics from her for almost 2 years – she’s caring, attentive, personable, approachable, kindhearted and will take time out to answer all questions you have. I travel from Suffolk county, Long Island for Donna bc she honestly is the best and the only person I trust with my colon!

After reading the reviews on Unilocal I thought I was making the best choice by going to Gravity East Village and getting my first colonic ever! WRONG!
Someone mentioned that it was worth the extra money because it is a «nicer» place, WRONG! Gravity East Village is located in an apartment building, which, not only terrified me but I thought it was a scam. Think about it, it’s my first colonic, I was expecting to go somewhere professional, especially for $ 115 a session. I almost ran out the door but they already had my credit card number (a credit card is required in order to book an appointment), so I could not just leave.
Being terrified, I was hoping that Debbie would make me feel better. After reading the reviews on Unilocal,I was convinced that Debbie would make everything better. In some ways she did, she is very personable and warm. However, there was lack of professionalism. Immediately after I sat down, they asked me to just sign my rights. I had to not only ask to discuss my health history but I had to interrupt Debbie speaking to her friend. I felt this was unprofessional. I’m paying $ 115 to be taken care of, right?
After this, I really wanted to run out but once again, they would still process the payment.
The next aspect that disappointed me is the false expectations provided by the receptionist. She assured me Gravity would not be like other places that rush you out the door, my experience would be a full hour and 15 minutes. FALSE. The procedure took 45 minutes MAX.
Did I feel different? Not exactly. I felt pretty much the same except just hungry since I had to starve for a couple hours before the colonic.
Will I ever get a colonic again? I highly doubt it. While Debbie did make the experience comfortable enough, I just did not feel any professionalism. What really scared me was that she didn’t even use gloves during the procedure (I don’t think I even saw a box of gloves anywhere). Also, I’m not very sure how clean or sterile they keep their tools. I’m a clean freak, so I prefer seeing new tools being used.
Finally, if you do decide to go to Gravity East Village, be prepared to enter a basement and you’ll most likley think twice about your decision.
It was not worth $ 115.
Finally, I feel so strongly about this that I’m even creating a Unilocal account to comment.
Highly disappointed because I trusted Unilocal,
Kat

Cynthia is a healer — I can’t say enough good things

I recently went here for my first infrared sauna experience. I can’t say that it felt any different than a regular sauna but I am hoping that it was pulling all the toxins out of my body. I liked that the small sauna was personal and private, but I would have liked to be able to lie down. I first met Donna (the owner?) at a metal toxicity class she taught at Integral Yoga, which was very informative. The staff I interacted with there was very friendly and knowledgeable.

It’s not a whole lot of fun going for a colonic, but Gravity makes you feel like you’re at home. I’ve done it twice and I used Debbie both times. She is a doll!!! She made you feel comfortable the entire time. She also recommended me to an amazing juice bar that I went to afterwards. Awesome!
Now, when you first pull up to the building, it looks like an abandoned tenament from 1908. I almost left, but I’m so glad I didn’t. It’s beautiful and clean inside (which is what counts). I recommend this place to all!!!

I started coming here a few years ago but sporadically. This past year when I became serious about changing my diet and lifestyle, I started coming for colonics pretty regularly with Debbie Gordon. She’s great and I feel so much lighter and cleaner overall (no pun intended). With the right vegan/​raw diet supplemented with colonics, your skin will glow and you’ll be mentally sharper. Highly recommend doing this And doing it here.

I came here yesterday for my first time. Donna was very sweet and informative and made me feel comfortable throughout. We talked about women’s health and diet.
I would recommend this to any first time users. It is a peaceful and friendly atmosphere with utmost experts!

The place was clean enough, thank god, and Debbie was very nice and comforting as she administered the treatment – but here’s the rub: Colonics don’t actually make you feel any differently afterward. Or mine didn’t anyway. So if you’ve never had a colonic before and you’re expecting to feel better and more healthy afterward (even if it’s just mentally), prepare to potentially be disappointed. It was an interesting, weird experience … but don’t buy into all the hype.

This was my first time getting colon hydro therapy and Debbie was awesome! She explained the entire process to me and made me feel very comfortable. the space is tiny but warm and cozy which what you want as opposed to some super cold sterile place. Not to say the place isnt sterile or clean because it most certainly is but the vibe of the atmosphere is wonderfully warm. Debbie talked to me the entire time which made the 40 minute session fly by. I’m a relatively healthy eater and did a juice cleanse before the colonic which is advised to get the best results. I plan to return again and also try the sauna next time.

The service is excellent! The atmosphere is very relaxing and welcoming!
I am so happy I came across Gravity East!!! Donna’s level of care is unmatched! You just know you are in good hands! She answered all my questions thoroughly and offers great nutrition support as well.
JUST AMAZING!
I strongly recommend her!!!
Thank you Gravity East!!!

I never thought I’d be paying someone to put a tube up my butt, but here I am on Unilocal writing a review about it, haha. I have had friends and co-​workers rave about the benefits of colonics but it literally took me years to muster up the courage to actually go and get one. I did my research online and Gravity East Village was one of the only places with consistently good reviews. They are on the expensive side at $ 110 for a colonic, but I figured paying a little extra money for a positive first time experience would be worth it. My friends have told me about places in the Bronx and Queens that charge $ 60-​$ 80, but were filthy and looked like dungeons. It’s already scary enough to have a stranger come at you with a tube to flush your pipes out, seriously. Paying the little bit of extra money was not a big deal.
It was a positive experience from beginning to end. The girl at the desk who answers the phones and makes appointments is super pleasant and kind and polite. I asked a million questions on the phone and she was patient and took the time to answer everything. Their scheduling is great also because they are also open on the weekends. The place is a little hard to find, especially if you’re not familiar with the area. It’s on the first floor of an apartment building, and there are no signs on the outside except for that little sign above the door buzzer. It looked a little shady at first, but the space is absolutely beautiful and has a very zen interior. I was almost 20 minutes late for my appointment due to crappy trains, but Cynthia was still able to fit me in. She was very understanding and told me to relax and not to stress over it and forget it so that I could concentrate on enjoying the experience. Extra points for the superb customer service!
The colonic itself was not as scary as I thought it would be. I won’t go too much into detail, but it was not painful or uncomfortable in the least bit. The sensation is different more than anything, but certainly not as bad as I thought it would be. Cynthia was calming and sweet and I loved that she used aroma oils during the entire procedure for calmness. She also guided me through breathing and meditation type exercises throughout, which was a nice touch. I don’t get embarrassed easily so it wasn’t an issue for me being half naked in front of a stranger, but I would highly recommend Cynthia for anyone who does have those types of reservations. She very careful at keeping me draped for privacy and it was not awkward or uncomfortable at all. The colonic room was also immaculately clean to boot. For a first time experience, it was close to PERFECT. I went on a tropical vacation the day after my colonic and definitely noticed a flatter abdomen. I loved it so much that I ended up buying a specially priced package of 4 for $ 400 on that same day. I wasn’t pressured at all into buying it, I was just so happy with the entire experience that I felt it was definitely worth coming back. Highly recommend this place, I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews! Thank you Gravity East Village!

Before booking my first appointment at Gravity East Village, I sent Donna a message outlining my medical history, current dietary habits, and mild concerns. She responded promptly, explained colon hydrotherapy in layman’s terms and answered each of my questions about the process IN DETAIL.
When I arrived for my first scheduled appointment, their lovely receptionist greeted me at the door. I met Donna for the first time soon after and was pleased by how comfortable the procedure was and how euphoric I felt afterward.
I will spare you the details, but my initial session went swimmingly. In fact, it went so well that I have been back two times since and would still be seeing Donna regularly if I hadn’t temporarily relocated to Florida. When back in the New York metropolitan area, she will be the only colon hydrotherapist I see!
