-
Colonic hydrotherapy, also known as colon hydrotherapy or a colonic, is a gentle treatment that uses warm, filtered water to cleanse the large intestine. Water is introduced into the colon through a small sterile tube while waste is naturally softened and released. The treatment is performed by a trained practitioner in a private and professional setting.
-
After your consultation, you'll get comfortable on the treatment couch.
A small sterile tube is gently inserted, and warm filtered water is introduced into the colon. As the water circulates, the bowel naturally releases waste through a closed system.
Many clients spend the session chatting, relaxing, or simply enjoying the feeling of their abdomen becoming less tight.
-
This is by far the most common question we get.
The good news is that most clients tell us afterwards:
"That was nowhere near as bad as I imagined!"
We'll explain everything before we start, answer any questions you have, and make sure you feel completely comfortable. The treatment is carried out in a private, professional environment and you'll be guided through the whole process.
-
No, a colonic should not be painful.
You may feel some pressure, fullness, or movement in your abdomen as water gently enters the colon and waste is released. Some clients experience occasional mild cramping, particularly if they're very bloated or constipated, but this usually passes quickly.
Most people are surprised by how comfortable and relaxing the treatment feels.
-
Allow around 60 minutes for your first appointment.
This includes your consultation, treatment, and personalised aftercare advice.
We never rush clients, especially if it's your first visit.
Most clients are actually more interested in losing the bloated feeling than losing pounds.
-
This is probably the number one concern for first-time clients.
The reality is that we perform these treatments every day. We understand exactly how you're feeling because almost everyone feels nervous beforehand.
Your dignity is maintained throughout the treatment, and after a few minutes most clients relax completely and wonder why they worried in the first place.
-
That's completely normal.
In fact, we'd say almost every first-time client feels nervous before their appointment.
By the end of the session, the most common thing we hear is:
"I wish I'd done this sooner."
Our job is to make you feel comfortable, informed, and supported from the moment you walk through the door.
-
Not very far at all.
This is another common worry.
The tube sits only a short distance inside the rectum and is much smaller than most people imagine.
The treatment works using the flow of water rather than deep insertion.
-
Everyone is different.
The treatment helps soften and release waste, gas, and water that may have been sitting in the colon.
Many clients are surprised by how much can be released, particularly if they've been struggling with bloating or constipation.

People come to us for many different reasons, but the most common include:
Feeling bloated
Constipation
Sluggish digestion
Feeling heavy or uncomfortable
Starting a health kick or detox programme
Wanting to improve their gut health
Feeling "backed up"
Many clients simply say they want to feel lighter, cleaner, and more comfortable in their own body.
-
Many of our clients book because of bloating.
While everyone is different, it's common for clients to leave feeling noticeably flatter, lighter, and more comfortable.
If bloating has been caused by sluggish bowel movements or retained waste, many people notice an immediate difference.
-
No.
Modern colonic hydrotherapy uses a completely closed system, meaning everything passes through sealed tubing.
There is no mess, no exposure, and no unpleasant smells.

Your safety is our priority.
Before treatment, we carry out a thorough consultation to ensure colonic hydrotherapy is suitable for you. We use professional equipment, strict hygiene standards, and tailor treatment to your individual needs.
If we don't believe treatment is appropriate for you, we'll always tell you.
-
To get the most from your treatment:
Drink plenty of water
Avoid a heavy meal for a few hours beforehand
Reduce alcohol if possible
Arrive relaxed and comfortable
We'll send full preparation instructions before your appointment.
-
That depends entirely on your goals.
Some people feel great after one session.
Others who have struggled with long-term constipation, bloating, or digestive issues may benefit from a course of treatments.
We'll always discuss what's right for you rather than recommending unnecessary appointments.
-
We recommend nourishing your body with:
Plenty of water
Fresh vegetables
Fruit
Lean protein
Whole foods
Many clients use their treatment as a fresh start and find it easier to make healthier choices afterwards.
-

There is no one-size-fits-all answer.
Some clients visit once or twice a year, others book seasonally, and some choose more regular maintenance sessions.
Your practitioner can advise based on your health goals and lifestyle.
