"It used to be that when I felt "blah" I would pamper myself with a a soy mocha, by buying something new, or getting a manicure and pedicure.  Those things did make me feel better-for about 20 minutes.  Now, with a greater understanding of what self-care is really all about, I make different choices.  Now, when I feel a bit crooked or off, I drink a shot of wheat grass, go on a hike, or go to Abundant Health for a colonic.   

Colonics is a beauty treatment-from the inside-out.  My skin looks it's most glowing after I've had a colonic.  I feel the most clear, energized and beautiful after a session.  It is because so much gunk that was hanging out inside of me, in now GONE for good.  Colonics is a healthy, easy, fast, effective way to hit the restart button on my whole system.

I have been seeing Shayla for about 4 years now, and after every session I leave raving about her services.  I am a huge fan of colonics.  The details of a colonic may terrify some;  the process may sound uncomfortable, painful, gross or embarrassing.  In my experience, it's none of those things.  The truth is:  we all have bodies, with colons, that eventually house a  buildup of the stuff we feed ourselves.  It makes sense to give ourselves a tune-up once in awhile.  Considering how effective , it seems strange NOT to go & get a colonic!"

"So, you’re trying to decide if colonics are for you?  Should you make the investment?  Could you get past what you THINK will be extremely embarrassing or uncomfortable for you?  Will it help you?

 

Only you can ultimately answer these questions, but perhaps some perspective from someone who regularly uses colonics as part of her wellness program will help you decide...   

I’ve had a lifetime of chronic GI problems, including constipation, bloating, gas, “leaky gut” and food sensitivities.  That said, I can tell you without reservation that, along with “cleaning up” my diet, NOTHING has helped me to improve my health more than colonics... I was a bit uncomfortable when I went to my first colonic appointment (which was many years ago and not at Abundant Health), but I was also desperate for help... That said, I’ve had my share of colonic experiences, and I am her to tell you that they are NOT all the same!

I’ve been seeing Shayla, and recently Camille, at Abundant Health Center for several years now – from our first date, I knew I was committed to a long-term relationship!  Both have excellent “bedside manner” and create a sense of ease.  Both are top-notch professionals who know what they are doing.  Additionally, you will find the atmosphere at Abundant Health aesthetically pleasing and pleasantly relaxing, and you will never feel rushed in the process of getting the service for which you came.

As for the actual experience, if you are constipated, at first, you may experience some mild discomfort (or you may not – it varies by person), BUT that is nothing compared to how you will feel the next day!  Over time, your bowel muscles will get stronger (and you’ll notice that in sessions, as well as in between), and you’ll find yourself chatting away with your colon therapist almost oblivious to the fact that you are having a colonic!

Food for thought.  Your digestive system is at your core – a root system, if you will, running down the center of your body, designed to feed and nourish the rest of you.  When that system is sluggish, clogged and otherwise backed up with toxic matter that should have been excreted long ago:

Your liver and every cell in your body pay the price as that material is absorbed and circulated in your bloodstream to be dealt with again and again.

Critical nutrients are not extracted from your food and absorbed (one reason you may feel hungry all the time)
You are tired, irritable, depressed and/or anxious and experience any number of other symptoms as all your detoxification systems are overloaded.

If you aren’t easily eliminating 1-3 times per day... If you have frequent bloating and gas... If you feel heavy and tired more often than not... If your skin breaks out often... COLONICS ARE WORTH A TRY FOR YOU!  Chances are exceptionally high that, if you give it a fair chance, along with dietary adjustments, your bowel function will dramatically improve.  Once that root system is clean and working, EVERYTHING WORKS BETTER!  More energy, less fatigue, clearer skin, brighter eyes, less depression and anxiety and, generally, a brighter outlook on life.

Also, if you shop locally, you will find price variations.  Keep in mind that you tend to get what you pay for!  I have been to therapists that, if it were my first colonic, would have scared me away forever!  Abundant health is fair and reasonable, and, in my opinion, offers the most value for the cost.
