...I had often wondered what it would be like to have colon hydrotherapy. My friends and I have joked a bit about the idea, asking each other if we'd give it ago. We were all curious and eager to see what it'd be like. So, now I'm writing a testimonial because I've actually taken the next step, had colon hydrotherapy, and it was great. I was kinda nervous at first, but I had a chat with Jess from Brunswick Holistic Health and she showed me exactly how the procedure works. She explained how the colon is filled with water and what happens during the treatment. It's basically just like a bathroom with a lying toilet. I am really happy with the results. After the first session I felt great but the results after the second session are a lot better. During the second session I felt pretty relaxed, my body was familiar with the process and I could tell that the treatment was getting out more stuff that didn't come out the first session. I read magazines and watched what came out of my body through the viewing window. It sounds icky, but it's actually quite fascinating to watch what is expelled. Then afterward you feel cleansed and generally better all around. So if your thinking about colon hydrotherapy, its well worth the fresh after feeling and (I have to use a cliche and say) "you don't know until you try"...

When I went to Brunswick Holistic Health I was experiencing severe intestinal discomfort on a regular basis, I was tired, emotional and mentally very foggy. I had a course of three colonics and took the nutrients that Jess recommended to me. After my first colonic I was very tired, then my 2nd I felt lighter and more motivated to look after myself. After my third colonic my foggy mental state began to clear, I have not had any pain in my gut since then, I have lost the taste for meat, I no longer crave sugar daily, I have lost a bit of weight, I no longer eat wheat or dairy and I FEEL FANTASTIC! Feeling physically clean and mentally clear has helped me to make some very big decisions in my life and I feel as if I have the confidence and strength to see them through.

I would wholeheartedly recommend colonics to anyone considering their health options. Jess at Brunswick Holistic Health is a wellness angel and the experience was surprisingly comfortable and relaxing. I had been suffering an array of ailments such as psoriasis, eczema, irritable bowel, haemorrhoids, bloating, weight gain and food allergies which had been slowly developing over the past two years, becoming quite severe in recent months. I was desperate to find a solution. I really felt my health was spiraling out of control, but after the first treatment I felt like I was in complete ownership of my body again. After each treatment I lost on average a kilo and a half of all the stuff that was making me sick. I recommend preparing a day or two before by only eating easy to digest foods and drinking juice to get the most out of the treatments. You will not be disappointed. It's a fantastic personal reality check about one's own body and has inspired me to get back in the driver's seat of my own health. It's been almost six weeks since my last treatment and all my symptoms of ill health are gone; I've been losing a comfortable amount of toxic waste weight and I feel better than I have in years. I only wish I had have done it long ago.

There is so much focus these days on what goes into the body - "eat this", "don't eat that" but there is very little concern about what comes out. The colon is such a neglected part of the body, yet I believe that its the key to better health and general feelings of wellbeing. I have personally experienced the significant changes that happen after having a series of colon hydrotherapy treatments. They included: losing 2.5kgs, feeling lighter, thinking more clearly, imporved moods, less anxiety, better bowel movements, clearer skin, a decreased craving for carbs, and decreased body aches.

The calm, clean, simple environment that Jess has created at Brunswick Holistic Health allows you to relax and enjoy the experience. I highly recommend anyone with niggling health issues to explore colon hydrotherapy treatment.

After the first of the three sessions, I walked out of the clinic thinking I must be some kind of astronaut. I felt like I was walking on air! An incredible and wonderful experience. By the third session my shoulders and arms felt amazing; much improved joints, a great feeling. I recommend this to anyone on the road to recovering health.

I would like to thank you for solving a problem that I have had for almost 10 years - flatulence! Over the years I couldn't help but notice I farted more than the average person, every five minutes for several hours on a bad day! This inconvienient and, to be frank, stinky problem was something I had come to accept.

I discovered Brunswick Holistic Health via word of mouth and had been in several times to buy vitamins. One day, happened to mention the gas problem to Jess, who recommended colonics and two products to tackle the problem - with much success! I was amazed to find that a problem that I had lived with for so long was resolved within a matter of weeks. Thank-you Jess, for providing a solution for a problem that was both uncomfortable and inconvienient.

I have had IBS symptoms for as long as I can remember, and meals usually have some level of abdominal pain attached. After only one treatment, dinner was a pleasure as I ate a whole plate with absolutely no discomfort afterward. After the second treatment I floated out of the clinic on a real high and proceeded to rave to everyone about its effects. Unless you have it its hard to explain the lightness you feel internally and what an awesome mood it puts you in. I recommend this to anyone who has digestive or bowel issues, (and who like me gets excited by an internal spring clean), and to definitely have more than one session.

Thanks for your professional approach to this confronting experience. I'm glad I followed through with the three treatments; the first was intense, the second terrifying and the third awesome. As I write this a few hours after the third treatment my body feels entirely renewed and inspired through moments of revelation. When I decided to go ahead with Colonics I thought that it would be a physically challenging experience, and approached it pimarily to assist with weight control. What I had no idea about was how emotioally challenging and transformative the experience would be...yes, like therapy. As my body purged physical waste I was surprised and confronted by many intensely personal images and memories from my distant past. There was a sense of releasing distant emotional pain and a tremendous relief as this passed. For example in my final session memories of my mothers death ten years ago resurfaced and there was a real sense of acceptance that came with this. I would recommend Colonics for anyone at a major turning point in their life seeking balance and self-respect. You'll also be pleased to know that over this last week I have been attracted to much better food and lifestyle options... Thanks again.

I found the experience to be extremely well organized, clean and hygienic. The procedure was surprisingly comfortable, I felt lighter and cleansed after the treatment, so I will definitely go back for regular treatments.

I have always been interested in the benefits that are derived through colon hydrotherapy. Juggling university, jobs and relationships often left me feeling stressed and run down and even resulted in skin problems. I decided to try colonic hydrotherapy as it just made sense to me – it seemed like a natural way to cleanse my body of built up toxins and basically just start fresh! The process of hydrotherapy was really unobtrusive and I found the whole experience quite pleasant. In the days following I found that I was more energetic and my mind was clear and focused - I also found that my skin seemed really healthy and even had a radiant glow!

Within minutes of completing a session I felt like I was walking on air. It makes you feel really light and pristine.

For 19 years I suffered from body odour. It started from early school days; I really had to isolate myself from the pain and suffering. After having three treatments of colon hydrotherapy at Brunswick Holistic Health I smell a lot better and I don't need to have a shower twice a day anymore! The colon hydrotherapy also strengthened my will power. Thanks for your service Jess.

I've been to a few different colonics places around Melbourne, and Brunswick Holistic is definitely my favourite clinic of them all. It's got a nice relaxed vibe, and I feel comfortable there. At other clinics the attendants can be a bit insensitive, bursting in the door every ten minutes, or insisting on giving me an abdominal massage, when I feel a lot more relaxed when I'm left in privacy. Jess is sensitive to how you are feeling, and will leave you in privacy. She also gives you flower essences or other remedies to help you feel comfortable and relaxed. Being a naturopath she is also really helpful in the suggestions she makes about your diet and other things that may contibute to your health.
