BOTTOMS UP COLONICS
IN PROSERPINE
Did you know the colon is the
“second brain” in our bodies?
It has more neurotransmitters than our spine and
it’s also where we produce and store serotonin (our
happy drug).
This fact alone means that taking care of our colon
is just as important as other health practices such as
keeping fit, eating well and looking after our mental
wellbeing.
Quite often the colon gets overlooked in our general
health regime, most often because it is tucked away
in an area associated with embarrassing bodily
functions such as poo and farts.
Fortunately, as we become more aware of the
importance of overall gut health through mainstream
media; colon cleansing treatments such as colonics
are becoming more popular.
This is great news for local Proserpine
businesswoman, Selena Daly, who has just
celebrated her second year in business at Bottoms
Up Colonics Whitsunday, colonic hydrotherapy clinic.
“Everybody would benefit from a colonic! We
have clients from as young as 5 through to 95,”
said Selena.
The procedure is very discreet, clean and hygienic.
It lasts for 45 minutes to an hour and is performed
while you lie on a massage bed.
A speculum with inlet and outlet tubing attached is
inserted and this allows
a steady and slow
cleansing flush with
continuous water flow.
The water is infused
with herbal or nutrientbased
mixture so your
body gets a boost of
nutrients and during the
flush your therapist will
massage your abdomen
with pure grade
aromatherapy oils.
After your treatment, you can expect to feel clean,
empty, refreshed, energetic, light and clear-headed.
Your tummy will be flat and you may also find that
you lose up to 3 or 4 kilos from a single treatment!
Selena first discovered the power of colonics when
she was 21 years old after a series of health issues
led her to trying colonics, which ultimately changed
her life forever. She became so passionate about
these health benefits that she decided to dedicate her
life to helping others through her business.
When she’s not changing the world, one colonic at a
time, this local Proserpine lady enjoys spending time
with her husband and two children.
“My family and I love going to the beach to feel
the wind in our hair, sand beneath our toes and
salty kisses on our skin. Swimming, fishing and
exploring is where it’s at for us,” said Selena.
WHAT ARE SOME MYTHS
ASSOCIATED WITH COLONICS?
Myth: Colonics strip the gut of good bacteria
Truth: colonics don’t remove anymore good bacteria
than you do through a normal poo on the toilet, in
fact colonics assist in flushing bad bacteria to create
an environment for the food to grow and thrive
Myth: Will I be embarrassed…
Truth: Possibly, but after 10 minutes or so you
should relax. Our therapists often use the treatment
themselves and are very respectful and sympathetic
to how you feel. They do their best to put you at
your ease. You’re covered discreetly, your tummy is
massaged and the warm water is soothing for your
bowel. Faecal matter is removed via the tube so
there is no odour or mess.
