not find some time every day for health “Health is as
infectious as a disease, given the right conditions for its spread!”

Colonic Hydrotherapy in a beautiful private new clinic in Glastonbury Felicity has had many years of experience as a therapist. Starting out in nursing she entered the world of complementary medicine through her own ill health when allopathic medicine didn’t have the answers. She has studied, qualified, practiced and taught in several methods over the years, in massage and bodywork techniques. She is a Reiki Master and Clinical Ecologist, working with allergies and nutrition, runs detox retreats both here in the UK and abroad. Felicity not only offers her own unique way of working with clients, but also has a wonderful network of therapists and practitioners whom she refers her clients to if she feels they would benefit from such a referral. Felicity is committed to her own healing journey and that of her clients; she has clinics in London and Somerset.

The colon Otherwise known as the bowel or large intestine, is the last part of the digestive tract and is responsible for the absorption of water soluble nutrients and the synthesis of certain vitamins as well as excretion of toxins and undigested food. It is about 5 feet in length and is about 2.5 inches wide and has muscles that run vertically and horizontally creating a peristaltic movement. The colon has reflexes as do the feet, hands and ears so keeping a healthy colon keeps the other organs healthy too! In order for the colon to function properly, it needs to have the correct balance of friendly bacteria. Sadly, over 90% of people have more unfriendly bacteria in their gut which inhibits the function and growth of friendly bacteria (which usually makes up 70% of the dry weight of faecal waste)…this imbalance can lead to constipation, diarrhoea, IBS, bloating, autointoxication, diverticular disease, fissures, colitis, Candida, leaky gut syndrome or bowel cancer. A lot of these diseases are asymptomatic for a while, but will manifest in other parts of the body such as migraines or regular headaches, eczema, acne, allergies, weight gain / loss and degenerative diseases amongst others…

In Somerset… £60 plus any supplements or implants In London …..£75 plus any supplements or implants Cash or cheque payments accepted Gift vouchers are available *I require at least 48 hours notice of cancellation otherwise full fees will be charged |
 |
Colonics…preparation Usually I like to discuss your needs on the phone or by email prior to an appointment and often I will send you out some herbs to take for a week before your visit, this will start the cleansing process. However, it is not necessary to do any preparation prior to your visit.
How long is a session and how many sessions are needed? The procedure itself can take between 30-50 minutes and there is time at the beginning and end to take a history and discuss the next step. Sometimes it is necessary to have a series of sessions for maximum benefit. Often between 4-6 sessions fairly close together. Sometimes just 2-4 a year as maintenance is appropriate. |
 |
Is it safe? The equipment is either disposable or sterilised using the most modern, hospital approved sterilising solutions which kill 100% of viruses, bacteria and fungus. With the gentle low gravity pressure of the water there is no risk of bowel perforation. Colonics are not habit forming (unlike laxatives .... quite the opposite). They encourage colon tone and function. |
