All sorts of people. About half my clients come with specific digestive symptoms — bloating, constipation, IBS-type discomfort, sluggish digestion. The other half come for general wellbeing: they want more energy, clearer skin, or to feel lighter and less weighed down. Some come as part of a seasonal cleanse or detox programme.

Common signs that your digestive system could use support include: persistent bloating, constipation, fatigue, brain fog, skin breakouts, bad breath, or a general sense of heaviness. If any of these sound familiar, an initial consultation is a good starting point — we'll discuss your health history and I'll advise honestly whether colonic hydrotherapy is appropriate for you.

Yes — there are some medical conditions where colonic hydrotherapy isn't appropriate, including active inflammatory bowel disease, recent bowel surgery, and certain heart or kidney conditions. This is exactly why I take a full health history before any treatment. My nursing background means I can assess this properly and I'll always tell you honestly if it's not the right option for you.

My 15 years as a registered nurse means I understand your body as a whole system, not just the treatment in isolation. I can read your health questionnaire with clinical eyes, spot potential contraindications, and adapt the treatment to your specific needs. It also means I'm bound by the professional standards of the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and I'm registered with RICTAT — the UK's professional body for colon hydrotherapists.

One session will make a noticeable difference — most clients feel significantly better. But if you've been living with digestive issues for a long time, a single treatment won't clear everything. Waste that's built up over years is often compacted and hard, and it takes a series of gentle sessions to work through it. I'll give you an honest recommendation after your first treatment.

This depends on your goals. For acute digestive issues, I typically recommend two to three sessions over four to six weeks as a starting course. For ongoing maintenance, many clients come monthly or seasonally. I'll always give you a personalised recommendation — I'd rather you come less often and get genuine benefit than sell you sessions you don't need.

No. The goal is to strengthen your colon so it works better on its own. Colonic hydrotherapy exercises the colon muscles, improving the natural contractions that move waste through your system. Some clients notice that bowel movements take a day or two to resume after a treatment — this isn't dependency, it's simply because the colon has been thoroughly emptied and needs time to refill. Over a course of treatments, most clients find their natural bowel function actually improves.
