By trade, Colon Therapists are holistic practitioners and cannot and will not legally evaluate or diagnose medical conditions. Colon therapists will never prescribe medication, however, will work alongside other holistic practitioners who they will refer you to if they believe it may benefit your wellbeing. If you have any questions about the status and condition of your health, please consult with your general practitioner before engaging in any of Flow Colonics' services.

Yes, women can undergo colonic hydrotherapy while they are pregnant as the colon is not filled with water and therefore there are no consequences to the health of the baby. Flow Colonics will continue to see existing clients throughout their entire pregnancy. New clients who are pregnant will only be seen once their first trimester has finished in addition to not having pre-existing health conditions or other complications during their pregnancy.

No, colonics are not only for women, and men are welcomed and encouraged to receive a colonic. Colonic hydrotherapy is a holistic method to enhance overall well-being and is for all genders as well as those who affiliate themselves as non-binary.

Flow Colonics recommends commencing with your initial colonic. Your Flow Colonics Therapist will then discuss a suitable treatment plan for you. To work towards better wellbeing, you must work with your colon hydrotherapist regularly, and other holistic practitioners to ensure the best possible well-being outcomes

You can’t “colonic” your way out of imbalanced lifestyle choices or gut dysbiosis, and therefore we recommend following a very nourishing food protocol and high-quality practitioner supplements. If you need assistance with food and supplementation, we recommend that you consult with our in-house nutritionist, BIOBODY BY BRIDGET KULEVSKI.

Colonics do not interfere with the effectiveness of your prescribed medication by your general medical practitioner.

The Flow Colonics and Wellbeing equipment is suitable for individuals up to 200kgs. While a colonic will not solely assist with weight loss, it will assist with reducing inflammation, old stool, and water retention. It is a wonderful therapy to include as part of your weight loss journey. We also recommend consulting with our in-house functional nutritionist to assist you on this journey.

A colonic is a naturally occurring therapy that releases the bowels through peristalsis. Laxatives are artificial and usually filled with sugar. Laxatives worsen gut dysbiosis, which is the root cause of constipation, and the reason why people turn to laxatives, to begin with. It is imperative to work with your Flow Colonics Wellbeing Therapist and the plan they put in place for you to improve your gut health.

We recommend that you eat nourishing foods that include protein, fats, and carbohydrates. After your colonic, you will be provided with an AFTER-CARE TREATMENT PLAN.

Same-day cancelations will result in the FULL-FEE being taken. Flow Colonics is a busy Colonic Hydrotherapy Clinic with an extensive waitlist. This means same-day cancellations will incur the Flow Colonics Cancellation Policy.
