Colon Hydrotherapy:
Colon Hydrotherapy, is a safe and effective method of removing waste from the colon. The process takes about 45-55 minutes is odorless and comfortable. You will lie comfortably draped as your practitioner administers your colonic. Purified water will be gently introduced into the colon with seperate "fills" and released as an "empty”. The purified water is not constantly entering the colon. The client does not strain to eliminate, but the water is evacuated by the natural peristaltic motion of the colon and aided with massage techniques. This process enables the water to travel easily around the entire colon with as little discomfort as possible. Massive amounts of waste can be eliminated in one session although to guarantee a truly thorough cleanse its often recommended to have a small series of 3 colonics. Enjoy receiving Lymphatic drainage massage, abdominal massage, reflexology and Reiki healing during the session
Vanessa uses only FDA certified disposables and state of the art “Hydro-San” (closed system) equipment. Vanessa’s goal is to create a safe and nurturing experience whilst you cleanse
Please note: People often report that they have "lost weight" after a colonic. This is not a weight loss program. But, it doesn't take long to figure out what exactly they have lost!
"Colon Health is the Key a to Vibrant Life" Norman Walker
Dating back to the 14th century B.C, the Ebers Papyrus notes that the removal of impacted and putrefactive fecal matter may have contributed to general health benefits, such as increased vitality, clarity of mind and clearer skin. The Greeks believed that cleansing the body internally released demonic forces that had entered whilst eating rich food
In 1894, E.H Dewey wrote in the True Science of Living that "every disease that afflicts mankind [develops from] more or less habitual eating in excess of the supply of gastric juice". Dr. Kellogg reported in the 1917 Journal of American Medicine that in the treatment of intestinal diseases in over 40,000 cases he had used surgery in only 20, the rest were helped with colon cleansing, diet and exercise
Pre-Colonoscopy preparation.
At last you have an alternative option to the original, perhaps less enjoyable, pre-Colonoscopy procedure.
A simple three to four day regime of a simplified diet, mild laxative and one Colon Hydrotherapy session on the morning of your Colonoscopy is what many people are doing these days. Vanessa recommends an additional colonic about 1 week prior to the procedure but that is a decision for the client to make themselves.
Working in conjunction with Bellingham NW Gastroenterology Clinic, designed by the Doctors at the Clinic, this option has proven to be a very effective, less stressful and overall a more comfortable and healthier experience for you. Please call Vanessa if you have questions and she can direct you to the Clinic and helpful doctors.
Vanessa Haycock NTS,LMP,CCHT is in no way, professionally affiliated, associated (or otherwise) with the NW Gastroenterology Clinic. Patients must consult with their primary care physician before proceeding. Patients must book their own appointments with the separate offices.
Colonic Questions answered:
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: Vanessa doesn’t have a strict protocol. Instead she invites you to come in and try one Colonic. From here together you will figure out what will work for you depending on your goals and what is in your highest interest. Often a series of three colonics is recommended for which Vanessa offers a package deal
Does it hurt?
No. You should not experience any pain during the colonic If there is you must tell Vanessa immediately. Sometimes there can be some intestinal gas cramping during the session but this usually passes quickly
Can I have a colonic during my monthly cycle?
Yes. The body is already naturally cleansing itself. You may experience an easier less crampy “Period” than normal. Many women have reported that with regular colonics their “Periods” have improved dramatically with considerable less PMS
What preparation do I have to do prior to my Colonic?
There is no mandatory preparation necessary prior to your colonic session.
However, to make the most of your investment Vanessa recommends that you pay attention to your diet and eat as healthy as you can for about three days before your appointment (e.g. as little processed food as possible, little or no gluten, dairy and be hydrated) and possibly take a teaspoon of psyllium husk fiber in a16oz glass of water as part of the preparation too. Regular clients may choose to go on e.g. a simple juice cleanse, drink some Detox tea or partake in a Liver cleanse before their colonic appointment
It is recommended not to eat about two hours before your appointment
If you have concerns or questions please call Vanessa to check in with her before your appointment especially if you have allergies, digestive or elimination challenges that you need to have addressed
Do I have to take the day off?
NO. The session will last around 45 – 55 minutes. You should be able to go back to work after your appointment. Some people come in for their appointment in their lunch breaks
Do I have to wear any special clothes?
No. But, for your comfort it is recommended that you either bring or wear a shirt or t-shirt. Vanessa will provide you with a gown/drape
What happens if I don’t like it?
We stop
Do you do Implants?
There are many articles and studies about the benefits of implanting certain natural / herbal ingredients during or after a colonic. If you, the client is interested and wishes to bring in e.g. organic coffee, wheatgrass or probiotics Vanessa will be happy to be of service to administer an implant at no extra cost but only if she feels that it is in your highest and best interest and could not possibly cause any harm or discomfort. Vanessa is not a doctor and cannot diagnose. She can only offer suggestions for the clients own education
Do you give Colonics to children?
No. Vanessa prefers to educate the parents on diet and other means of home remedies to help the health needs of the child. For very unusual / acute health concerns there must be a referral from a doctor and parental consent form signed. If the child is a young teenager then after an in depth conversation it is possible that a session by be conducted with the parent remaining in the office during the session.

Vanessa offers the combination of a massage and colonic back-to-back session. This is known as “Revive, Renew, Restore”. The massage can be a combination of moderate massage depth or Lymphatic Drainage massage (LDM) immediately before the colonic hydrotherapy session. LDM would be an excellent choice prior to your colonic session as a "pre-flush/circulation" modality. Vanessa does not offer the LDM as a separate modality only combined with a colonic.
In addition - you can add Far Infra red Bio Mat to you “order” as an activation for the best all round cleansing, supportive and relaxing experience to get a deeper cleansing of toxins and heavy metals. Please see the scheduling page for more information!
Lymphatic congestion may show up as (e.g) swollen tonsils or enlarged nodes in the armpit or groin that can be tender or swollen. In some cases it can be painful to the touch. Persistent coughs and colds and a general "under the weather" feeling of low energy and lethargy can sometimes mean the lymph has become sluggish or stagnant. Often when we are sick we do not exercise and this facilitates a slower circulation of lymph that does not support getting well again! LDM is very gentle and is used to increase the movement of lymph and interstitial fluid. Our lymphatic systems can become overtaxed due to a variety of different causes and edema may develop. The purpose of lymphatic massage is to reduce edema by assisting the lymphatic system in circulating lymph fluid throughout the body or past areas where lymph nodes may be compromised due to lymph node removal, scar tissue or radiation.
Some examples of conditions that may benefit from lymphatic massage are:
Sprains, Whiplash, Hematoma, Post-Surgical Edema, Oncology, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Anxiety, PTSD, , Stress, General Detoxification and Enhanced Immune Function, Migraine, Pregnancy Edema, Diabetes. Please note that Vanessa is trained to treat only mild and medically uncomplicated forms of primary and secondary lymphedema.
