Colon hydrotherapy is a means to administer pressure regulated and temperature controlled water into the lumen to eliminate the contents of the bowel. Simply stated, it is the gentle infusion of water into the large intestine.

As a certified colon hydrotherapist, I use an FDA-registered medical device with its own sanitation system, water filtration system, pressure and temperature controls. A small, sterile and disposable speculum is gently inserted into the rectum. Two disposable lengths of hose are connected to the speculum and the device- one for filtered water to go in and one for waste to go out. This creates a closed system. Small amounts of filtered water slowly cycle in and out of the colon. No chemicals or drugs are used. The movement of water into the colon stimulates its natural peristaltic action to release softened waste. Sessions last 45-60 minutes and include abdominal massage and bodywork as needed. During a session, the client’s modesty and comfort are the highest importance.
 
As with many healing practices, colonics are most effective when paired with balanced lifestyle choices. As a practitioner, my primary focus is on colon health, hydrating the body, beneficial elimination, and calming the nervous system. The colon, also referred to as “the gut,” is connected to our immune system, nervous system, nutrient absorption, and so on. Beyond that, emotions and life-force energies can become stagnant in our tissues. This practice may help move or reveal things on an emotional and energetic level.

I encourage clients to come as they are. I don't ask you to change your diet or routine before coming to a session. If you feel inspired to eat lighter or less before your colonic, that is up to you. During a session, I do encourage clients to tune into their bodies as much as possible. Belly breathing, quieting the sympathetic nervous system, and softening tension in the body (and the mind) are great ways to help the releasing process.
