So, picture this: I hear about colonics and think, "Oh joy, sticking a tube where the sun don't shine, what a treat!" But then my pal Emma, the hydrotherapy pro at Bottoms Up Colonics, convinces me to take the plunge. After a couple of sessions 3 Years ago (boy that’s gone fast!) that didn't quite unclog my "gut issues" (pun intended!), I'm back for round two this year, ready to dive in—literally—and give my gut a good ol' cleanse.
After dabbling in functional medicine and other health fads, I realized the real healing I need starts in my gut, dealing with all that pesky inflammation.
The Initial Consultation: Let's Get Personal (But Not Too Personal!)
Before my first session, I had to spill all the beans about my health, diet, and lifestyle. Emma uses this intel to customize your colonic experience, which I found oddly endearing. Stepping into her cozy clinic, greeted by her warm smile, I felt surprisingly chill. The place is like a zen den, with comfy rooms to prep for the tube extravaganza. Emma's bubbly vibes can calm even the most tube-phobic soul!
The room smells like a spa, with a hint of mystery in the air. There's a bed, a TV to watch the "show," and the colonic contraption waiting for action. Emma's the pro here—she guides you through the process like a colon whisperer.
Let’s Talk Tubes (Because, Yes, It’s Part of the Process!)
I won't sugarcoat it. The tube down under scenario had me a tad on edge. Would it be a pain in the... you know where? But Emma's got it all under control. There's lube galore (phew!), and before you know it, you're chilling on your back, ready for the watery adventure.
Emma lets you play DJ with the water flow, so you're always in the driver's seat. A bit of pressure as the H2O flows in, nothing painful—just... different. You might feel a twinge or two as things get moving, but Emma's there with the belly rubs and peppermint magic. It's oddly... relaxing?
What to Expect (and Why You Shouldn’t Be Afraid!)
If you're fretting about discomfort, fear not! Emma's your guide through this aquatic journey. Yes, there's pressure, but it's a breeze. The session lasts around 40 - 45 minutes, with some cramping as the water does its thing, but nothing to write home about. Plus, Emma's banter game is on point, making the time fly!
You call the shots during the session—adjust the flow, speak up if you need to. As the water works its magic, you might feel some pressure and cramps, but Emma's got your back (and front!).
Emma's got the whole cozy setup with peppermint rubs, gentle massages, and toasty pads to keep you snug.
She checks in regularly to make sure you're feeling zen. It's a personal and pro experience, soothing those pre-tube jitters.
After the session, Emma gives you some alone time in the loo—trust me, you'll need it! Then, you're off, feeling lighter in body and spirit.
It’s a Process, Not a Miracle Cure
I'll admit, I was low-key hoping for a dramatic reveal after my first session. A magic worm, perhaps? But alas, gut healing is a slow burn, like unclogging a stubborn drain.
Think about it: Your pipes gather gunk over time, silently causing chaos. One day, the water won't flow, and you're stuck. Gut issues are like that—SIBO, leaky gut, the works—they sneak up on you. Clearing them out takes time, layer by layer.
The Skin Flare (It’s Temporary!)
Heads up: If your skin's touchy like mine, expect a mini freak-out post-session. My skin went wild, but Emma warned me it's part of the detox dance. It calmed down quick, and my redness improved. So, if your skin acts up, don't stress—it's all part of the glow-up!
The Takeaway: Cleansing Takes Time, But It’s Worth It!
Your gut's a wild ride, and Emma's the captain steering you toward health. She breaks down the gut game as you go, showing you it's a marathon, not a sprint.
I'm pumped for more colonic adventures with Emma. Stay tuned for the gory details as I purge my way to gut greatness with Bottoms Up!
If colonics tickles your curiosity (or fear), take the plunge! It's not as scary as it sounds, and the inside-out glow-up is real.
