First & foremost, clients are treated with dignity & respect. Most clothing can be left on & a cloth is draped around the lower body, or a gown may be worn to ensure modesty. We strive to maintain a calm, relaxing environment with meditation music, aromatherapy diffusers, oils & lotions. A session is a tranquil experience for most, as the pace is controlled by the client’s holding & releasing of water.

The LIBBE is registered with the FDA as a Class II medical device. LIBBE’s are manufactured in compliance with strict FDA guidelines that dictate rigorous accountability. Features include temperature controlled water mixing & back flow prevention valves, pressure & temperature sensors, water purification, & disinfecting standards. Each client has a new single-use nozzle. The device is thoroughly cleaned in accordance with standards from the FDA, I-ACT & Tiller Mind Body (LIBBE manufacturer).

An enema only reaches the rectum & the lower part of the colon. Colon hydrotherapy is much more effective as the entire length of the colon, 5-6 feet, is reached.

The colon is distressed with all the burdens from our daily consumption habits. These burdens include excess consumption of animal proteins, processed food, fat, & sugar. Moreover, toxic material & waste products reduce the body’s capacity to function at an optimum level. That’s why colonics can help detoxify your body by flushing your colon of wastes and toxins.

It is extremely safe when performed by a qualified colonic hygienist with expertise in the area. We use the end of the line technological colon therapy machines with filtered water. The room & the device itself is thoroughly sterilized after each application. Our clinic team meets the highest professional & ethical standards.

Laxatives are very dangerous for the body. Laxatives interfere with other digestive processes higher up in the Alimentary Tract & are not only irritants to the body, but the colon can become rather dependent upon them; when used, a thin, watery substance is produced that goes through the colon leaving behind impacted toxins &  waste.

Everyone has different needs. After your initial visit, you can discuss with the therapist’s guidance as to how many & how often you might want to schedule sessions.We generally recommend at least doing a series of 3 colonics to appreciate what colonics can do for your body. Some people initially need a series or more to get the colon functioning well. Regular clients may have maintenance colonics from once a month

It isn’t necessary. If you are familiar with fasting you may know it is a good thing to do in conjunction with colonics. If you’ve never fasted before, we recommend having a colonic first & learning more about your body’s needs before jumping into a fast. Body Harmony has fasting guidelines which we can share with you once you have your initial visit.

No it isn’t! Many people say the sessions are easier & more relaxing than they thought they might be.

Clients generally report a feeling of lightness and sometimes even increased mental clarity.

Yes. Your body is in cleansing mode already so it is a fine time to have a colonic. We are prepared to accommodate women on their period & we do Not recommend wearing a tampon during the colonic.

Yes, if you are between 3-6 months pregnant. The chances of miscarriage are highest during the first trimester, so it is best to play it safe. As the pregnancy progresses, increased progesterone may slow peristalsis so constipation may ensue. Colonics may help with this. However, after 6 months, colonics may induce premature labor & too much fluid in the membranes surrounding the fetus may put pressure on the diaphragm & cause extreme discomfort. Please discuss this with your doctor if you have any concerns!

Wait at least 6 weeks to heal & recover from childbirth before having a colonic. while you are nursing. If you are coming in because of constipation, a colonic is much better than a laxative. You don’t want your baby to feel the effects of a laxative, & everything you consume orally will pass through the breast milk.

You will lose waste. Ridding the body of excess waste helps your body to metabolize more efficiently. You will become more conscious of what foods you are putting into your body & how your body processes those foods. I have seen many clients improve their diet & exercise regime when they start having colonics. The therapists at Body harmony will encourage you to make healthy dietary choices & support you in your weight loss goals.

If you have a concern about your health or the appropriateness of colon hydrotherapy for you, you should consult your physician or licensed healthcare practitioner. Contraindications include, but are not limited to: recent (within 6 months) colon, rectal or abdominal surgery, congestive heart failure, intestinal perforations, carcinoma of the rectum, fissures or fistula, severe hemorrhoids, abdominal hernia, renal insufficiency, first or last trimester of pregnancy & cirrhosis of the liver

Unfortunately, colonics are not covered by medical insurance.

The colon hydrotherapy session is fairly low maintenance with little required preparation. It is recommended that you avoid eating two hours prior to the appointment time. This allows for the majority of previously consumed food to pass from the stomach to the small intestines, where the excess pressure on the abdomen will no longer create nausea or discomfort.

The one time use, sterile, self-inserted rectal nozzle is approximately the size of a pencil. Each client is given specific instructions on methods to insert the nozzle gently and effectively. With the ergonomic design of the nozzle, it is only necessary to insert approximately 1″ to 1.5″ to complete the session.
