Spa Clinic of Sheila Shea and Colon Hydrotherapy

Colon hydrotherapy has had other synonyms or nicknames over the years. You might have heard it called colonics or colon therapy. I use the word colon hydrotherapy throughout. Occasionally, I call it 'colonics' for short.

I hope to take you through a journey of the office and introduce you to the Colon Hydrotherapist. We want your visit to be relaxing, educating and helpful to your health.

I'm sure you have many questions so I give you many resources.

Making An Appointment

I look forward to hearing from you!

All sessions are by appointment. On the first session, you arrive 20 minutes early to fill out the Health Questionnaire and a sheet on Prices, Policies and Disclaimer. For your convenience and to save you the 20 minutes, you are able to download the Health Questionnaire, fill it out at your convenience and bring it to the office completed on your first visit.

Introductory Brochures
Many of you want to know what a colon hydrotherapy session is like. I have two introductory brochures to answer many of your preliminary questions about the process. Click on Basic Info on the Navigation Bar for Sheila's Introductory Brochure. Click Introductory Brochure to read a colleague's information on Colon Hydrotherapy.

How do I prepare for a Colon Hydrotherapy session?
To make your session easier, I have written an article that gives you abundant information on HowTo Prepare. Click on How To Prepare to make your sessions that much better!

What about after the colonic, what can I expect?
Once again, click on the hot text and you can read over What To Expect After your first and subsequent colonics. It's not always the same for everyone however it gives you substantial background to guide you after you have received colon hydrotherapy.

The insertion of the speculum, what's that like?
The insertion of the speculum is the big event that both first time clients and beginning students of colon hydrotherapy all wonder about. The speculum is about 3/4 " in diameter, well lubricated and inserted very gently 2-4 " into the anus by well-trained practitioners. Some states require self-insertion and the therapist guides you in the insertion. In other states, the therapist makes the insertion. In either case, the insertion is done very gently. In some instances, you will be asked to rest on your left side for the insertion. In other instances, you may be asked to bring your knees to your chest, holding your knees lightly with your hands. Breathing deeply and easily into the lower abdomen is a breath we encourage during insertion and during the colonic as it is the basis of relaxation.

After the insertion, the theripist secures the speculum preventing it from slipping out by having you rest on a tie that is wrapped from the speculum to under your buttocks.

This information is about the close-tube system. The open-basin system operates slightly differently and still very gently and simply. To understand the difference between the two systems click on Intestinal Hydrotherapies on the Navigation Bar.

Equipment
I use FDA approved equipment to perform the Colon Hydrotherapy. The instrument is manufactured by Prime Pacific Health Innovations Corporation and is called the Aquanet. It is a closed-tube system with temperature, pressure and gravity control. Each person has his or her own set of disposable tubing and speculum that come in a germicidal pack.
