              Nutrition and lifestyle choices can dramatically influence your mental and physical well being.
Colon hydrotherapy is a completely natural treatment that is enjoyed by thousands of people every day; from celebrities to ordinary people of all ages. The idea that gut bacteria can affect a person's health is not revolutionary. A vast amount of Scientific Research has proven that gut microbes influence digestion, mood, weight and a multitude of other health complaints. Colon hydrotherapy is essential, simple, safe and effective as a complimentary treatment when dealing with bowel health and digestive problems. Toxins, wastes and irritants are removed. This helps to re-balance gut bacteria. It will Re-hydrate the colon. It will Rebuild the essential connection between your brain and guts. This will help Restore healthy motility and repair the colon wall.  The balance of intestinal bacteria is crucial for good health and vitality throughout life.
 Trained Therapists are Professional Therapists & do not make claims about curing digestive problems , however, experience shows us that colonics can provide relief from many symptoms of a wide range of digestive disorders, including IBS, constipation, bloating & wind. Many of our clients find that colonics offer help where modern medicine has failed, especially when symptoms have been dismissed under the catch-all diagnosis of IBS. However , colon hydrotherapy isn't just for digestive problems, and many clients find it works to keep their bowels healthy same as that visiting a gym helps them keep fit.
 Each session is individual to your needs. Please allow around 90 minutes for treatment and consultation.
The following are JUST SUGGESTIONS ONLY… Drinking as much water as you can comfortably is important- do NOT over-compensate by guzzling a gallon of water. Eat healthy and nourishing foods the day of your session unless you are fasting or on a specific Detox Program. Eating a meal two to four hours before your colonic is ideal, but no heavy foods or beverage should be consumed in the two hours before your appointment. You are in the process of taking very good care of yourself so allow for the time and space you need to be in a calm state of mind. Your body responds best to treatment when it is relaxed.

“For excellent service, with a very personal touch, you need to try Ali. I go for Colonics and get so much good advice about my “gut” so you don’t just go for the procedure ….
you start doing life changes .all for your wellbeing. Ali is wonderful at making you feel so relaxed and ensures you are never embarrassed. 
I also get waxing and massage which are both expertly done. 

Gill, L. Dundee.

I have been a client of Alison's for nigh on 20 years, and in all that time I have never been disappointed with any of the treatments I have had. The staff are all very professional and friendly, they put you at ease straight away so you feel comfortable and therefore get the best out of the treatments.

I have recommended Alison to friends and family over the years and I can safely say no one was disappointed, in fact many of them are regular clients.

I wish you well and am sure you will go from strength to strength well into the future.

Gwenda Cochrane.
