Well like many others, I started the year with a raging hangover. I'm not one for making resolutions but thought why not give my body a bit of a break. I've never tried to detox and recently had a relapse of eczema. I'm currently on a course of Chinese herbs where I get teas to help detox and liver function as well as reduce "heat" in my body... none of this is explained of course but its worked for me in the past and beats applying bucket loads of hydrocortisone on my skin. The theory being that the skin is irritated as the body struggles to clear out toxins normally and comes through the skin. Whilst it may not be accepted by the scientific community at large I believe it does hold some merit. So thus I embark on a bit of a homegrown "detox" plan to supplement my course in Chinese herbs. After a bit of internet research I'm vowing to cut out alcohol, red meats, deep fried foods, artificial preservatives and additives and eat lots of healthy things and drink plenty of water. Mentally I give myself a month so as to keep it realistic. So far so good... after reading a bit more there I find other therapies that will help me along too such as sauna, massage, some exercise and COLON CLEANSING. Which in a nutshell is what brought me here!
You probably don't care about the above but the point is more to highlight my journey here to put my review into context. I initially set out to do one colonic during my month of healthy living and really had no intention of taking it further. However I have just finished the second and have signed up for 2 more. I initially had pretty much zero idea of what to expect and kind of didn't want to know as to not put myself off of it. Julia is very professional and good with calming any anxieties you may have. It's not exactly what I'd describe as a comfortable experience but a few minutes in its all fine, within the context of what's happening. The whole session is very informative on a subject which is generally not talked about (at least in my circles). I'm amazed at what your stools can reveal about the quality of your health and give you ideas of how to improve it. At the end of the session you'll have the option to try a herbal or coffee enema which takes it to a whole new level.
I find myself generally more concerned with what I'm eating and what effect that has on my body. I'm more concerned with the importance of hydration and drink around 2 litres of water daily (normally my liquid intake would be in the form of coffee and alcohol). As to the condition of my skin, the problem persists but I'm only 3 weeks in. Am confident I'm on the right track and my have inadvertently changed my lifestyle for the better. Do give it a try... I guarantee you'll be in good hands with Julia.
I have been wanting to do this for years but always put it to the back burner but decided to go for it through Wahanda. I did compare West London Colonics to other colonics and I was happy with her reviews.
Julie is very calm, friendly, reassuring and gentle. She guided me step by step through the procedure and she was very gentle and I felt at ease as its not a pleasant thing to be doing personally but I felt that I needed to do it for my well being. I also topped up my treatment with herbs and even a massage for the tummy and the massage was lovely.
I have been here twice now and Julie has been very pleasant on both occasions.
So if anyone is contemplating, go for it, you wouldn't be disappointed with Julie.
I went here for my first ever colonic and was pleasently surprised by the whole experience. Julia was lovely and very reassuring throughout the whole process which really helped as it is quite a personal process. The clinic is clean which instilled much confidence in the work that they do and all stages of the treatment were explained well before the treatment had started as well as during. I was also very pleased with the aftercare advice that was given to me. I was so pleased with the whole process that I booked and paid for another one there and then and would highly reccommend West London Colonics to anyone.
I went to West London Colonics just after new year's day along with my boyfriend, to give us a kick start for 2014. Julia was very thorough with her consultation, taking time to find out about both our goals and tailoring the treatment for each of us individually. The setting was perfect, with the clinic set away from the road and no public access. Inside was spotless and the room filled with the smell of essential oils. Julia managed to put us both at ease and explained how the treatment would work. The treatment itself was painless and comfortable. Julia paid attention to us throughout the colonic, making sure we got the best result possible. Since going to West London Colonics, we have both noticed improvements to our systems, even from just the one treatment, and Julia followed us both up with recommendations for our diets. We wouldn't hesitate to go back to the see Julia again next time we decide to have colonics done.
