LocationMap
Before your visitPractical logistics
What to wear
Loose clothes for before and after — you may feel bloated or tender. The studio provides a gown and draping sheets. You will undress from the waist down but remain covered throughout the session.
Diet the day before
Light diet the day before: soups, cooked vegetables, broths. Avoid red meat, alcohol, processed food, and large meals. Stop eating 2 hours before your appointment.
Arrival and intake
Arrive 15 minutes early for a first visit. A certified practitioner (I-ACT or equivalent) will review your health history, medications, and any bowel or digestive conditions. This is mandatory and saves you from serious complications.
The session itself
Duration: 30–60 minutes. The practitioner inserts a small, sterile, single-use speculum and filtered water flows in at body temperature, then out. You are draped throughout — the practitioner sees only what is necessary. No odour escapes because the system is closed.
After the session
You may have one or two natural bowel movements in the hour after. Drink electrolyte water or coconut water, eat a light cooked meal (soup, rice, steamed vegetables), and rest. Avoid raw vegetables, alcohol, and coffee for 24 hours.
Payment and packages
Single sessions run €60–150. Packs of 3 to 6 are typical. Be wary of long protocol sales — 3 sessions is the standard maximum for non-clinical use.
Questions nobody asksHonest answers
Will I fart or have an accident during the session?
The system is closed — nothing leaks out. Any gas or waste flows through a sealed tube into the disposal system. You are fully covered by a sheet throughout. This is one of the most common fears and it is engineered around.
Can the practitioner see my anatomy?
No. The draping protocol covers the perineal area throughout. The practitioner guides the speculum by touch and feel, not by sight. If a practitioner undresses you fully or removes the drape, that is a red flag.
Can I do colonic during my period?
Yes, physically — the colon and the menstrual cycle are separate systems. Many clients prefer to reschedule for comfort, but there is no medical contraindication. Tampon in place is fine.
Does it hurt?
Most clients describe it as strange, not painful. There may be brief cramping as the colon contracts — this is the sign it is working. Sharp pain is a warning sign. Tell the practitioner immediately.
Will I lose my gut flora?
A single session has minimal impact on gut flora. Repeated sessions (weekly for months) may reduce microbiome diversity — which is why clinical protocols limit frequency. Probiotic supplementation after the session is sensible. (Source: PubMed on colonic hydrotherapy and gut flora.)
Is colonic pregnancy-safe?
No. Pregnancy is a contraindication for colonic hydrotherapy in all trimesters. The mechanical and fluid pressure changes are a miscarriage risk factor. (Source: American College of Gastroenterology.)
What about IBS, Crohn's, or ulcerative colitis?
Absolute contraindication for active inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis). For IBS, case-by-case — some clients report relief, others a flare. Always consult your gastroenterologist first.
Does it really “detoxify”?
The concept of “toxin removal” through colonic hydrotherapy is not supported by current medical research. The colon's function is primarily water reabsorption, and toxin elimination is handled by the liver and kidneys. What colonic hydrotherapy can do: soften hard stool, support constipation relief, and provide mechanical flushing. That's real — “detox” is marketing.
Who should wait or get cleared firstContraindications
Absolute contraindications
Pregnancy (any trimester), active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, recent colorectal surgery (under 6 months), diverticulitis flare, bowel obstruction, severe hemorrhoids, recent heart attack or abdominal surgery. (Source: I-ACT — International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy.)
Medical clearance required
History of colorectal cancer, diverticulosis without flare, severe hypertension, chronic kidney disease, anemia. Written physician clearance before booking.
Medications
Blood thinners, recent chemotherapy, high-dose NSAIDs (increased bowel wall fragility). Tell the practitioner what you take.
Disclaimer
This list is informational and not exhaustive. Consult a licensed healthcare professional. See our medical disclaimer.
Red flags before you bookStudio quality signals
No intake form or health history
Colonic hydrotherapy has real contraindications (IBD, pregnancy, recent surgery). A practitioner who does not ask is operating unsafely.
No I-ACT or equivalent certification
I-ACT (International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy) is the primary certification in North America; RICTAT (UK) and equivalents in Europe. A practitioner who cannot name their certification body is not formally trained.
Non-sterile equipment or reused parts
The speculum and tubing must be single-use, sterile, and unwrapped in front of you. Reused equipment is a serious hygiene and infection risk.
Coffee enemas as “add-on”
Coffee enemas are not evidence-based and have documented risks (colitis, electrolyte imbalance). A practitioner pushing them as a premium upgrade is selling risk as luxury.
Unlimited package sales
Serious practitioners limit non-clinical use to 1–3 sessions. Anyone selling you 10+ sessions for “deep detox” is selling a myth and a potential microbiome disruption.
Extraordinary health claims
Claims of curing chronic illness, “reversing aging”, or treating cancer are unsupported. A trained practitioner speaks about bowel function, not miracles.
