Colon Hydrotherapy – What is it and who would need colon irrigation?

Colon Hydrotherapy is referred as to colonic irrigation, colonics, colon therapy, or high enemas.

How it works

You will complete a questionnaire that will ask a series of health questions and it will also require your signature consenting to treatment before the session begins. This will be completed before your session begins. You will then have a detailed consultation with your trained colon therapist. It is completely normal to feel nervous, but rest assured we will make you feel safe and relaxed.

• The session takes place in a relaxed and private room with ambient music, soft lights and essential oils.  There will be a designated area for your belongings. It is best to go to the toilet before your session, so you do not have a full bladder. You will then lay on the bed with nothing on from waist down, with a towel draped over you leaving you always feeling covered and comfortable.
• There is water connected to the machine and your colon hydrotherapist will be with you at all time to guide you through the treatment session.
• The instrument used in your treatment is called a speculum (disposable single use), which is lubricated and gently inserted into the rectum and should be pain free.
• Surgical A grade tubing conveys water into the body and the water and waste such as hard stools, gas, toxic matter come out of the body directly into the plumbing. As the water enters your body it will then simultaneously exit back throughout the tubing and all waste is contained in a closed tube. This leaves no mess or smell. If clients are wanting to view what is releasing from the body, they can view from the machine screen.
• A trained colon therapist will be by your side the entire session guiding you on the process with what is leaving your body, massaging the colon and lower pressure point on the back. Any questions you have about the session will be answered and guidance will be given on exercise, food choices, wellness and goal setting to help you on your health journey.
• The session will take anywhere between 45/60 minutes. Please allow 60 minutes time frame for a session start to finish.
• After the session is complete the therapist will leave the room and let you sit on the toilet for as long as needed. You will then be given a drink of probiotics *please note this is optional.
• The treatment is relaxing and pain free but please keep in mind each session is individual and at times might be uncomfortable due to gas or extreme compaction and hard stools that need to be released. At all times the therapist will help you feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible. We pride ourselves at Kaya Colonics Centre on making every single client feel relaxed and provide a safe space to heal.
