DON'T BE AFRAID OF HAVING A COLONIC

I came across Karen Horn's clinic by chance and thank goodness I did.

My sister had been having problems with IBS, irritable bowel syndrome, bloating and weight gain and in spite of working really hard to control her diet to relieve symptoms it hadn't worked and was completely miserable.

I suggested trying colonic irrigation and found Karen's clinic online.

When we booked in we didn't really know what to expect and were quite apprehensive but Karen was extremely knowledgeable, caring and kind and completely put us at ease during her consultation process where she thoroughly discussed concerns and symptoms, explaining why things weren't working and how she could improve things post treatment.

The treatment itself is completely painless, pretty unobtrusive and there was no embarrassment factor. What happens is 60 litres of water is gently passed into the colon for cleansing and re hydration.

After the treatment which cost 50 pounds you do feel fresher and lighter and following you are motivated to restrict your diet to the recommendations for your own individual goals. It was interesting how some foods like bananas my sister was told to avoid but for me, with different concerns, bananas were on the menu.

I couldn't have been more impressed by Karen, her knowledge and professionalism and her advice has helped my sister lose the weight and the bloating. We both learned so much about our habits and how our bodies try to balance them.
