Colonic Hydrotherapy: FAQs for First-Time Clients
If you’re considering colonic hydrotherapy for the first time, it’s completely normal to have questions. Many clients arrive feeling curious but a little unsure about what to expect. At The Cleansing Space Cornwall, on the grounds of Scorrier House, our aim is to provide a safe, professional, and relaxing environment where you feel fully informed and at ease from the moment you book.
Common Questions First-Time Clients Ask Before Booking
Here is a quick checklist of questions many first-time clients consider:
- Is colonic hydrotherapy safe for beginners?
- Will it be uncomfortable or painful?
- How do I prepare for my first session?
- What should I eat before and after treatment?
- How long does the appointment take?
- Will I need to use the toilet during the session?
- Is it hygienic?
- How will I feel afterwards?
- How often should I have a colonic?
- Is colonic hydrotherapy suitable for my specific concerns?
Below, I have answered some of the most common questions first-time clients ask before their first colonic hydrotherapy session at The Cleansing Space.
What is colonic hydrotherapy?
Colonic hydrotherapy is a gentle treatment that cleanses the large intestine (colon) using warm, filtered water. The process helps soften and release waste material from the bowel, supporting digestive health and overall wellbeing.
Is colonic hydrotherapy safe?
Yes. When carried out by a trained and experienced practitioner, colonic hydrotherapy is considered a safe and effective therapy. At our Scorrier clinic, we use modern, closed-gravity system equipment and adhere to strict hygiene and professional standards.
What happens during a session?
I will be with you through the treatment and will guid you through the entire process. After a short consultation, you’ll lie comfortably on a treatment couch. A small, disposable single-use speculum is gently inserted into the rectum, allowing warm water to flow in and out of the colon. I will remain with you throughout, ensuring your comfort and privacy at all times.
Does it hurt?
Colonic hydrotherapy should not be painful. Most clients experience a feeling of fullness or mild cramping at times, similar to needing a bowel movement, but this usually passes quickly. The treatment is adjusted to your comfort level throughout.
How long does a session last?
A first session typically lasts up to one hour, including consultation time. I also offer a 1.5hr Initial session and this is for clients who would like more time spent on the consultation and treatment, which is reflected in the price.
How will I feel afterwards?
Many clients report feeling lighter, clearer, and more comfortable after a session. You may feel relaxed or energised. It’s also normal to experience increased bowel activity later in the day as your body continues to adjust.
Do I need to prepare for my first session?
Minimal preparation is required. We generally recommend:
- Avoiding heavy meals for up to two hours before your appointment
- Drinking plenty of water on the day
- Wearing comfortable clothing
- I recommend avoiding strenuous exercise or workout classes post session. Instead take the time to rest post session.
You’ll receive full guidance when you book in the confirmation email.
Is it embarrassing?
This is one of the most common concerns, and completely understandable. I have had many years experience as a Colonic Hydrotherapist, and work both professional and ensure the procedure is discreet and dignified. Most clients find that any initial embarrassment quickly disappears once the session begins.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies from person to person and depends on your individual goals and symptoms as to why you are considering having Colonic treatment. Some clients feel benefits after one session, while others choose a short course. I will discuss this with you during your visit. I generally recommend a 1hr follow up for you to gain the optimum benefits post Initial colonic treatment and having implemented the self care and dietary changes following our consultation.
Who should not have colonic hydrotherapy?
Colonic hydrotherapy may not be suitable for everyone.
Certain medical conditions can be contraindicated. A full health questionnaire and consultation are carried out before treatment to ensure it’s appropriate for you.
If you have any additional questions or would like to speak to us before booking, we’re always happy to help.
Some recent client feedback:
“I had a colonic session here and was pleasantly surprised by how professional and comfortable the entire experience was. From the moment I arrived, the space felt clean, calm, and welcoming. The therapist took time to explain the process clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt at ease throughout.
The session itself was far more comfortable than I expected, and everything was handled with care, discretion, and respect. I appreciated the focus on hygiene and the gentle, unhurried approach, which made a potentially intimidating experience feel relaxed and safe.
Afterward, I felt lighter, refreshed, and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone curious about colon hydrotherapy or looking for a professional, supportive environment for their first (or next) session”
