My name is Louise, and I am a Rictat Qualified Colonic Hydrotherapist.
My journey into colonic hydrotherapy began at age 20, when I started experiencing a range of digestive issues—what would now be described as IBS. The experience was life-changing and opened my eyes to just how important gut health is. It’s a vital yet often overlooked part of our overall metabolic wellbeing.
The large intestine is home to trillions of bacteria, known collectively as the microbiome, which play an essential role in keeping our digestive and metabolic systems in balance. When symptoms such as bloating, strong-smelling gas, constipation, or loose stools appear, they can be signs that the gut environment is out of balance and needs attention.
We now also offer advanced testing, including Gut Microbiome Analysis and Food Sensitivity Testing through Your Gut Map. These tools give us a deeper look into what may be happening within your gut, including potential sources of inflammation or microbial imbalance, helping to guide a more personalised approach to your wellbeing

The Procedure
Colon Hydrotherapy is a gentle treatment, which involves the slow introduction of warm, filtered water into the colon via the rectum. The water is introduced at a very low and carefully controlled pressure. The water, combined with gentle abdominal massage helps to soften faecal matter and hardened deposits so that they can be expelled naturally by your colon and piped away with the waste water. The treatment is completely hygienic as all equipment is disposable and sterile. A gown and pants will be supplied to preserve your modesty at all times.
After Treatment
Following treatment it is advisable not to engage in any strenuous activities. To eat light with the bulk of nutrients coming from vegetables or fruit, avoid spicy or rich foods for a couple of days. It is advisable to avoid alcohol for up to 48 hours.
