Cassandra-Mertz
Certified Colon Hydrotherapist

Cassandra Mertz

Desert Therapy is excited to announce the addition of Cassandra Mertz to the Desert Therapy team.

Cassandra is a devoted mother of two children and a passionate advocate for healthy lifestyles. Growing up as a military brat, she has traveled extensively throughout the US and to Japan, finally settling in the warm desert of Tucson. As a military widow, Cassandra understands how our family and life events have a great impact on our mentality and health despite the healthiest diets.

Cassandra began her journey to understand healing after struggling with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s disease. Finding a naturopath who helped her identify her disease after years of misdiagnosis, Cassandra was finally able to heal with the correct treatments and begin to feel great. Cassandra is pursuing her studies in nutrition and is a Certified Health Coach and is extremely knowledgeable in the field of health and nutrition.

Colon hydro therapy was instrumental in helping Cassandra feel her best and help her digestion return to a healthy normal. After being a client of Desert Therapy for years, Cassandra was overjoyed to have the opportunity to study at the American Institute of Natural Health in Phoenix, followed by training under Joyce Elizabeth to become a certified colon hydro therapist and to work at Desert Therapy.

Cassandra is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable therapist who genuinely wants to help others find their own path toward true health and well-being. She is an open-minded and caring person who is eager to help and learn.
