Colon cleansing has been around as far back as understood as Egyptian times when it was documented as common practice. Closed colonic hydrotherapy (a trained specialist with you, using single use FDA approved hygienic tubing) gently flushes the colon of old wastes and toxins, and assists the body, particularly the liver to detox. I use this as a foundation to my treatment plans as having witnessed the results in my clients for years – it is one the fastest and most effective ways to support the body’s cellular health and detoxification to give more energy and better gut and hormonal health.

The closed system that I use is very gentle and effective. As a Registered Nurse with over 20 years experience I consider every client’s personal health history, and there are not many that cannot safely and comfortably receive colonics, having had experience with colonics from treating 5 year old children right up to adults in their 90s. The main considerations that would not mean you can have a colonic are people who are on fluid restriction (kidney, liver or heart failure), recent colon or rectal surgery within the last 12 weeks. This is explored more in the health history form when booking.

When you first come in we will take time to settle in and go through what your health history has been and identify the areas we need to work on. During the colonic my aim is to keep you as comfortable as possible – there shouldn’t be any pain. The more relaxed the nervous system is the better the colon and the body will release so this is my aim. During the colonic I use herbs and infusions to relax and support the body, you are kept covered at all times and shouldn’t feel vulnerable, uncomfortable or awkward. Most colonics while you are on the table take 45 minutes of water therapy. Following this you can go privatley to the toilet and release any more waste that may not have come out. Afterwards people feel lighter, brighter and less bloated. However colonics are powerful detoxification, so I am always informing my clients that sometimes the first colonic can brin up detoxification effects and I am there to support them, and their systems, this resolves following the following session.

Make sure in the days leading up you have ensured you are hydrated. I always think best prep is avoid gluten and white binding foods for at least 3 days (like breads, pastas, rice). However in saying this people get a colonic for all sorts of reasons particularly digestive congestion and bloating so I can work with anyone where they are at. There is no need to fast the day of, but I would say avoiding food for 2 hours before will mean lying down on a bed you wont feel overly full.

Absolutely, I haven’t found this to be an issue for people.

This is an old dialogue which has really given colonics a bad name and become misleading. I have not found that – as I specialise in gut microbiome testing I have always found giving the microbiome room to flourish has only increased beneficial bacteria and people find a remarkable reduction in digestive health symptoms. It is a powerful way to change the gut microbiome and this is why I use it. As a digestive health specialist I also teach my clients what to eat to build their gut bacteria quickly which is the best way to change your gut bacteria.

Using our system we have never had any incident of this to date and I would not do this work as someone with extensive medical training and understanding of the colon if this was something that was a risk for clients. Most clients that perforate their colon do so without colonics, from severe impaction, disease of the bowel, and thinning and aging of the colon. I will always screen someones medical history and discuss modifying our technique to suit.

Of course you can simply try one colonic, but honestly after working with thousands of clients, many colonic therapists will tell you that you notice the most benefit from a series of colonics. I will always recommend at least 4-6 for my clients and many of my clients have been clients for years, depending on their health goals and what we have been working on. I like clients to take control of their own health, something never taught to me in the medical profession, so I will reccommend a treatment plan and work alongside clients to get the best possible outcome we can together.

Anything comfortable. A t shirt is easy and comfortable to wear, you will remove your underwear and bottoms in a private toilet and I will give you a modesty sheet which you will keep over you comfortably during the session.
