FAQs

What is colonic hydrotherapy?

Colonic hydrotherapy, also known as colon cleansing or colonic irrigation, is a gentle and effective method of flushing built-up waste, toxins, and gas from the large intestine using warm, purified water. The process supports digestion, detoxification, and overall gut health.

How does a colonic session work?

During a session, purified water is introduced into the colon through a small, sterile tube while the therapist monitors the process. The water helps loosen and flush out waste, which is then eliminated through a closed system, ensuring a clean and odor-free experience.

Is a colonic safe?

Yes! When performed by a trained professional using high-quality equipment, colon hydrotherapy is safe and effective. At Colibrí Colonics, we use the Aquanet 2000, the most advanced colonic hydrotherapy equipment available.

How should I prepare for my session?

To get the most out of your colonic:

  • Stay hydrated in the days leading up to your session.

  • Eat light, whole foods and avoid processed foods, alcohol, and caffeine at least 24 hours before your appointment.

  • Avoid eating heavy meals 2-3 hours before your session.

  • Complete the intake form before arriving.

What can I expect after a colonic?

Many clients feel lighter, refreshed, and more energized after a session. Some may experience more frequent bowel movements or slight fatigue as the body continues detoxifying. Be sure to hydrate well and eat nourishing, fiber-rich foods after your session.

Does it hurt?

No, colonic hydrotherapy should not be painful. Some people experience mild cramping or pressure as the water moves through the colon, but the process is gentle and designed to be as comfortable as possible.

How many sessions do I need?

The number of sessions varies based on individual needs. A single session provides a great detox boost, while a three-session package allows for deeper cleansing. For those seeking long-term gut health benefits, we recommend the ten-session package, valid for one year.

Can I book multiple sessions at once?

Yes! If you’d like to purchase a package, please pay in full online before booking your sessions.

What are the payment options?

  • Cash Payment: Pay the full amount in cash upon arrival.

  • 50% Deposit: Secure your session with a 50% down payment, with the balance due at your appointment.

  • Full Online Payment: If you’d like to pay in full for a session or package, complete your payment online before booking.

What is your cancellation policy?

We ask for at least 48 hours' notice for cancellations or reschedules. Late cancellations will result in the loss of the deposit. No-shows may require full payment before rebooking.

Can I get a colonic while cleansing or detoxing?

Yes! Colonics are highly beneficial while doing a cleanse or detox, as they help flush out toxins that are being released. If you are doing a parasite cleanse, colonic hydrotherapy can assist in eliminating parasites and their waste.

Who should NOT get a colonic?

Colonics are not recommended for individuals with severe cardiac disease, uncontrolled hypertension, advanced pregnancy, recent colon surgery, or conditions such as Crohn’s disease, colitis, or severe hemorrhoids. Please check our contraindications list before booking.

What should I eat after my session?

To support your body’s detox process:

  • Drink plenty of water.

  • Eat fiber-rich, whole foods like fruits, vegetables, and lightly cooked grains.

  • Avoid processed, greasy, or heavy foods for the rest of the day.
