About Your Therapist

Welcome to Stourbridge Colonic Hydrotherapy Clinic. We want you to enjoy your treatment with us, and obtain the optimum benefit from it. We offer a variety of treatments and it is important to us that our clients are reassured as to our qualifications and ethos.

Proprietor and therapist Gillian Edwards trained at Sandwell College studying a variety of courses over a number of years. Other therapies available include Deep Tissue Massage, Swedish Body Massage, Indian Head Massage, Sports Massage, and Reflexology.

People often ask me what made me get into colonic hydrotherapy. The short answer is that after having a colonic hydrotherapy treatment, I felt that the treatment had been so extremely beneficial to me personally, that I investigated the possibility of training to enable me to practise.

The longer answer is that at college I enjoyed anatomy and physiology. I am also interested in psychology and how the two are so interrelated.

The colon is often called the second brain. It gives us the sixth sense we call the gut instinct, and the nervous sensation of butterflies in the stomach, when we are excited or frightened.

Our body acts as a vessel for carrying our brain around and our digestive system is the feeding tube for our body and brain. Obviously every body system is equal in importance but they all depend on good nutrients being delivered and waste products being removed efficiently.

I trained at the Midland School of Colonic Hydrotherapy, under the tutelage of Clare Davies. Clare runs one of the few schools in the country that achieve the standards set by the Association of Registered Colonic Hydrotherapists (ARCH)

The post-graduate course of training (which requires pre-requisite qualifications) involves in depth further study of Anatomy & Physiology, along with the principles and practical application of Colonic Hydrotherapy.

With so many benefits this treatment offers, including help and relief of numerous bowel conditions, including Constipation, Diarrhoea, Irritable Bowel Syndrome & Diverticulitis, I decided to open my own clinic.

With an emphasis on quality and hygiene, I have taken no shortcuts. I have the best Dotolo Hydrotherapy Equipment. Each treatment includes an individual sterile set of tubes and speculum. For further reassurance, the pack is opened in front of our client.

After passing through a series of filters, highly purified water is warmed before it passes into the bowel. The machine is sterilised between each treatment, according to the manufacturers’ instructions, and the sterilising solution eradicates all bacterial and viral infections including Hepatitis and HIV.

Client care is second to none. As a professional therapist, I enjoy what I do, and want you to relax in order to achieve the best results possible from your treatment. As part of this all treatments include a thorough consultation and a full medical history will be taken to ensure your treatment is appropriate. If there is any doubt about your treatment you will be asked to obtain permission from your G.P.

Everyone has different reasons for having a colonic treatment and during your treatment I will give you my best advice along with information on how your body works, where things can go wrong, and what you can do to make things better.
Advice is free and you won’t be pressured into having a treatment if you don’t feel it is going to be for you so if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me to ask for no obligation advice.

Since I qualified I have served as an ARCH committee member for several years, in various roles. I was honoured to be proposed and accepted as Chairman in June 2011.
