For
first-time colon hydrotherapy clients, please make sure to review
the material in the Suggested Reading section
and complete the Client forms. Print
out: Client intake, Contraindication
and the Cancellation policy
to bring with you to your initial visit.
Please
note: Women in their monthly
cycle can still benefit greatly from having a colonic treatment.
In fact, because the body is already in a natural state of cleansing
during that time of the month, the session can prove to be even
more beneficial. Many of our clients have noticed a decrease in
cramping, bloating, moodiness and fatigue afterwards.
In the 24-48 hours prior to your Colon Hydrotherapy session, we
suggest that you eat primarily seasonal and organic vegetables,
fruits, juices and whole grains. Drinking a minimum of 6-8 glasses
of purified or distilled water daily will assist in the cleansing
process. The only thing that we require of you on day of your
appointment is that you limit your fluid intake and DO NOT eat in
the 2 hours immediately prior to your appointment. Once you
arrive at our office, we will ask you to prepare your self for the
session by emptying your bladder, undressing from the waist down
and covering yourself with a gown to assure your modesty. Soothing
music, essential oils, color therapy glasses, and a heated blanket
all help to create an atmosphere of relaxation and safety.

Please remember the better you nourish your body with clean, green,
organic and healthy food, the greater and more beneficial your treatment
