This is the first time I have ever had colonic hydrotherapy and went along with a friend of mine so we took advantage of the couples offer on Wahanda.
The first thing to note is that Julia communicated very well before, during and after the appointment and made the experience as relaxed and pleasant as she could. The location is nice, in a purpose built therapy room behind a residential bungalow in a quiet cul-de-sac with some lovely local greenery. The area has plenty of off street parking and generally felt quite safe.
Before the appointment, we completed some forms and had an initial consultation for Julia to understand our bodies. Making the appointment was very easy and Julia was flexible with times and dates. 5 days before the therapy, I followed a mainly juice and soup based diet and did one whole day of complete fast 2 days earlier and drank about 3 litres of water a day in order to get the most of the therapy.
The actual experience of colonic hydrotherapy for me was quite stressful. This is no reflection on Julia and the services that West London Colonic's offer. Unfortunately, my body didn't take as much water and the therapy had to be cut short because all I can say is that I let loose and debris didn't go into the pipe. This caused there to be a bit of a mess and I had to clean myself up in the bathroom. I found the experience embarrassing and a little traumatic but this is purely on a personal and individual basis. I had soiled my underwear and had to clean up and dress back up commando which wasn't ideal. Although there was a shower in the bathroom, you couldn't actually use it. I really needed a shower as I felt unclean. As a suggestion, it would be useful for disposable underwear to be made available in the bathroom and for the shower to be accessible and encouraged. Afterwards, I really just wanted to go home but my friend had her treatment done so I had to wait around.
I paid an extra £15 for a 10 minute abdominal massage before the treatment with some essential oils. Basically it was a tummy massage. I think this was not good value as it should really be included as part of the colonic experience and especially for anyone who is coming for the first time. However, it was a pleasant experience and that was the best bit I found of the treatment.
I paid an extra £10 for some herbs to be used as part of the water being put inside me that I was told would be beneficial as part of the cleanse. It was after this that the accident or incident happened and the treatment had to be cut short. I can't really say whether this is good value as I'm not sure what the herbs actually were. It's not cheap and I am disappointed that my therapy was cut short of time and I didn't really use the herbs as you would in a full treatment but was still charged for them in full.
After the treatment, my recommendations were given and some pro-biotic capsules that would be good for me. I was encouraged to buy some and book another set of treatments. I decided to think about things and take up the offer at a later date.
My friend found the treatment really good and she took up far fluid than I did and her treatment was a lot more of a positive experience than mine. She also commends Julia's lovely nature and how she made you feel at ease during the treatment. My friend bought some pro-biotics for £10, the herbs for £15 but didn't take up the abdominal massage. After the treatment she said she felt really good, very light and better.
During the couples treatment, a screen was offered to be put up and I'm so glad my friend went off for a walk because if she had decided to stay around, then it would have been even more embarrassing for me. When I went out for a walk I walked in the park opposite the bungalow and laid down on a bench at the top of the hill with it being a nice day with the sun out. I could hear some gargles and noises in my stomach and was happy to be able to just lie down. An hour later I went back and I desperately needed to use the bathroom. When I went back, my friend I could see was in the middle of the treatment and I didn't want to disturb or embarrass her. As a result, I had to go and wee in the park and because of the liquid that had been put in me, it released out of my anus. My trackies and being in commando were drenched and felt horrible. Luckily there was no one around to see my second accident. On top of being embarrassed already, I was now even more embarrassed. I had to stay standing up in the park and thankfully with the sun out pray for things to dry off. I texted my friend and asked her to meet me at the car once she had finished as I just wanted to go home. A suggestion, would be where a client goes for a walk, to state that should the need arise to go to the bathroom then the door would be open to do so and this way no one would be disturbed and incidents would be mitigated. When we left and got home, my friend had to go to the bathroom shortly afterwards but luckily for her, she went second and not for a walk like me.
Personally, I'm not going to have this treatment done again as I found the experience too traumatic and embarrassing. However, my friend liked the treatment and might do this again.
As you can see, this is a very very honest and complete review and hope it serves and helps others make an informed decision as to whether its something they want to do.
I visited the clinic recently, it is in a strange location, (at the back of someones house) but very nice and relaxing. I was very satisfied with the treatment and service, my only comment is all the additional extras, herbs, stomach massage etc so worked out quite expensive, but well worth it!

I had a really good experience at West London Colonics. Not having had this treatment before I was a little anxious however all of Julia's helpful information prior to the treatment was great and she made me feel very calm and relaxed during the treatment. I didn't feel too different after the session but Julia did say you sometimes need to build up the treatments. I would recommend a trip to West London Colonics

As most people have reviewed below Julia really makes you feel really at ease pre and during treatment - I was pleased with the colonic and would recommend to anyone to try a colonic at West London colonics
This was my first experience of Colon Therapy and I was really happy with the whole experience.
Julia is welcoming and friendly. Before I even had my appointment I was sent ample information about all aspects of my treatment and the days leading up to and after the treatment itself. I was given clear instructions on how to get the best from my experience. The treatment centre is warm, clean and very modern and I felt at ease the entire time. It helped speaking with Julia on the phone before my treatment as I was able to ask questions and as said was emailed various documents to guide me.
After the treatment itself I was quite tired and slept so well that evening. In the days that followed I found I was much more energised and only noticed a change when I did not follow Julia's advice! I have been taking the pro-biotic supplements that Julia helped me to pick out from the range she sold. The pre therapy massage was very worth while as it really helped to relax me and this led to me having a better experience I believe.
I had specific herbs to enhance the effect also.
I certainly would recommend WLC to others and will definitely be returning myself in the not too distant future.
Thank you Julia for all the help and for a great experience over all with my treatment.
