- Most often clients experience a sense of increased energy after a session.
- However, you may experience additional bowel movements directly after treatment or later that evening. These movements may contain solid stool or be mostly water, there may be mucous filaments or segments. This is perfectly natural as water has softened and loosened stools that may have remained in the colon for sometime. Don’t be alarmed!
- Occasionally a client may experience light headedness directly after the treatment. We won’t let you go until you feel right again!
- Rarely, a client may feel nauseated or even vomit. Again, we won’t let you go until you feel right!
- This is especially true for those who have been chronically constipated for sometime or are ill.
- You may also experience gas and some cramping. Your colon got a work-out! Don’t be alarmed!
- Herbal teas, chamomile and ginger will help alleviate the gas symptoms. A warm water bottle or heated rice or buckwheat pillow on the belly will help as well. We love our Cosmic Bessie Rice bag, available for purchase at the office! A warm bath can help as well.
- It may take more than 24 hours for a natural bowel movements to resume, due to the amount of feces removed from the colon during the treatment. Don’t be alarmed!
- If you have had a history of hemorrhoids, or if the speculum irritated you during insertion, you may have a bit of pink blood upon wiping. Don’t be alarmed!

Colonics Client Testimonials:
Nicole H: When I came to Vanessa I was in the middle of treatment for Lyme disease, in a really difficult phase of the protocol and in need of so much healing. My first encounter with Vanessa was amazing. Her positivity and healing energy was apparent from the warm hug she greeted me with on my first visit. It only got better from there. As a Wellness Practitioner she is so much more than a colon hydrotherapist. Her skills are stellar but her knowledge is second to none. She was with me every step of the way to gaining my health back. She always knew exactly what my body needed even as it evolved and changed. I am a true believer in the importance of colon hydrotherapy. It maximized all of my medical treatments and unloaded all the toxic burden in my body. Vanessa is a true blessing! Anyone who gets to experience a session with her will know exactly what I’m speaking of when I say she is a true gift!
Jackie P: It was my good fortune to find Vanessa! I can’t wait to see how we can heal my boy's colon. I have been running on adrenaline, coffee, and stress to the point of exhaustion. With my son's constant "pooo" issues !!! For years we have been dealing with medical providers and getting nowhere! I really learned a lot about myself as a mother through this all. I know both my husband and I feel so lucky to have you guiding us through this! (Mother of autistic child who came to me severely impacted. Medical providers told her there was nothing they could do!)
Jean S: I would like to keep moving forward with the colonics. I had another amazing response to my session and feel so much better! I saw a friend that I hadn't seen for a couple of months and she said that I looked like I had, "much more vitality" than the last time she saw me. I am also experience less pain overall in my body. :)
