Marina Ortega is the founder of Scottsdale Hydrotherapy, Arizona’s premier colon hydrotherapy and wellness center. After struggling for years with chronic constipation, mold illness, and immune challenges, Marina discovered the power of colon hydrotherapy and natural detoxification. Her personal healing journey inspired her to create a space where others could share these therapies in a safe and supportive wellness center.
Through her work, Marina integrates colon hydrotherapy, advanced detox modalities, and her signature product line Trust Your Gut, designed to support detox and digestion while traveling or on the go. She is passionate about educating others on the intelligence of the gut, the importance of open detox pathways, and reconnecting people to their vitality through nervous system awareness and gut health.
