Providing Colonic Hydrotherapy on the Gold Coast

Before beginning treatment at icolonic, we will discuss your personal detoxing and health goals, health history, explain the treatment and address any concerns or questions you might have.

The session will begin with the insertion while laying on your left side. The speculum is inserted (no-one likes that bit, not painful just a bit whoops), then you will roll onto your back with your knees bent and be completely covered up for privacy. The water is then turned on and we begin the fills and releases with you to slowly and gently loosen the compacted waste matter in your colon and allow your body to release it. You will be able to view everything that comes out of your colon, and I will explain what it means. Once you have finished your treatment, the water will be turned off, the speculum carefully removed, and you will sit on the toilet to let gravity do the rest. Once you are finished, you will get dressed and I will discuss recommendations and a treatment plan.

Colonics should not be painful, however depending on your toxicity and the level of compaction in your colon, your first session may be a bit uncomfortable as all of these toxins are stirred up to be released. Some clients experience nausea which goes away immediately after the toxicity is flushed from the body. Others experience mild to moderate cramping (a bit like a period pain or diarrhoea) which again goes away once the body releases the toxicity. The feeling of release is euphoric and after your first session you should feel lighter, cleaner and refreshed.

Please wear your regular clothes, you will be asked to strip from the waist down but will be given a gown to wear for privacy. You will be covered by a further sheet once the insertion has been done.

Yes! Even if your bowel moves a solid 2-3 times per day with ease.  We are exposed daily to high levels of toxins in the environment—in the food we eat, and, in the products, we put on our skin. That coupled with high levels of stress can put us into toxic overload which can affect us both physically and emotionally. 

Colonics not only cleanse the bowel but also help to detoxify the liver, bloodstream and kidneys while providing a release for the mind, body and soul. They have so much to offer!

Yes, you can. All your release should take place at the clinic. However, if it’s your first colonic, we recommend coming at a time when you can relax afterwards as you may be exhausted with a large toxin release. You may also find the need to go to the loo several more times throughout the day as waste will have shifted around. We also say “never trust a fart just after a colonic” so you may want to keep that in mind for a few hours after your treatment.
