The difference between colon hydrotherapy and a colonoscopy
As well as April being IBS awareness month, this is also bowel cancer awareness month, but the two conditions are not related. There is no evidence to suggest that IBS increases the risk of developing bowel cancer. The only way IBS and bowel cancer are related is that they can both cause bowel symptoms. People […]
My wellness retreat to the Viva-Mayr Clinic
Illness is a drama in 10 acts: I first heard about the Viva-Mayr Clinic in Austria back in 2009. Dr. Harald Stossier, the Clinic’s Medical Director used to visit London and give talks on the Mayr ‘cure’, which is based on the principles of the now renowned Mayr method. Developed by Dr. F.X Mayr over […]
Let Live Bacteria lift your winter blues!
A healthy inner self creates a happy and glowing outer self. Many of you will know by now that I am a strong advocate of kick-starting the year, or any healthier, long-lasting, clean living regime, not with a fad diet, but with a good inner ‘clean out’ – a colon hydrotherapy treatment – the very […]
Breath, bowls and bowels!
In over three decades working as a natural health practitioner, I have built up a wide network, and am lucky enough to know many highly skilled and knowledgeable complementary health therapists, trained in a broad range of disciplines. One of these people is the fabulous Helen O’Brien, an ARCH-registered colon hydrotherapist, like I am. I […]

I always love hosting our Facebook Live events, and the most recent discussion about colon hydrotherapy was no different. It is after all one of my favourite subjects – the 90 minutes just flew by!

10 top tips for detoxing and cleansing after Christmas
First, lighten up your toxin load. Eliminate alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars, and saturated fats, all of which act as toxins in the body and are obstacles to your healing process. Also, minimise the use of chemical-based household cleaners and personal health care products (cleansers, shampoos, deodorants and toothpastes), and substitute natural alternatives. Eat plenty […]
Colonoscopy – It’s only your bum – don’t be dumb, go and get tested!
My most recent Facebook Live event featured a very special guest – my husband, Kevin. Earlier this year, following a 7-month delay due to Covid, Kevin’s bowel cancer screening test came back positive. Kevin had to have a colonoscopy, followed by a procedure to have several polyps removed. We wanted to highlight the importance of […]

Is an enema the same as a colonic?
Over the years, I’ve often been asked this question and the answer is no. An enema only empties the very lower part of the large bowel, the rectal area, and a colonic empties the whole length of the large bowel. What is an enema? An enema involves putting warm water or sometimes a raw coffee […]
Laxatives – how can they improve bowel function?
What is a laxative? The Oxford English Dictionary defines a laxative as “a medicine, food, or drink that makes someone empty their bowels easily”. Used to relieve constipation, a laxative is generally regarded as something that stimulates the bowel, and is often perceived as being aggressive, with many people believing that taking a laxative is detrimental to […]

Fast-forward to today, and colon hydrotherapy is being practised all over the world as part of our global quest […]
Colon Hydrotherapy – so simple yet so powerful
Colon hydrotherapy. Whenever it gets mentioned, more often than not, it elicits a reaction akin to the way we feel about Marmite – love it or hate it! What’s more, it’s rare to read anything in the press or a magazine displaying a positive stance on colon hydrotherapy. Such a shame, when it can make […]
Cleansing the colon – a little history, and a lot of benefits
Many of you will have an intention – after the indulgences of the festive season – to clean up your diets, start exercising and get back on the road to health. Some of you will perhaps be kicking off next year with some kind of detox or cleanse. For millennia, cultures and religions across […]
A day in the life of a colon hydrotherapist
Who was it that said, “Choose a job you love, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life”? I don’t know, but it certainly applies to me. When I began my training in colonic hydrotherapy just over 10 years ago now, on that first day, I knew that I was in the […]
