Why Every Mum Needs A Colonic

Being a mum is no small feat. It’s deeply rewarding, yes, but let’s be honest, it’s also one of the hardest jobs in the world. Between juggling family, work, and the countless daily demands, taking care of yourself often ends up at the very bottom of the list.

But here’s the thing: when you’re constantly giving to others, it’s easy to forget just how much it takes out of you. Many mums pour everything they have into raising strong, healthy, resilient kids, but too often, it comes at the cost of their own well-being. There’s a reason flight attendants always tell you to put your own oxygen mask on first: you can’t fully care for anyone else if you’re running on empty yourself.

We see so many mums coming into the clinic, and it’s no coincidence. One of the biggest contributors to constipation is stress, and let’s face it, motherhood, as beautiful as it is, can be incredibly stressful. That’s why taking time to care for your body isn’t a luxury - it’s a necessity.

What’s a colonic?

A colonic, also known as colon hydrotherapy or colon irrigation, is a gentle, refreshing way to cleanse your colon using warm water.

During a closed system colonic, a trained therapist inserts a small tube into the rectum, and warm water flows in and out to help flush out built-up waste and toxins. It’s all super clean, comfortable, and done in a private setting.

When you arrive, your friendly colon hydrotherapist will walk you through the process, chat about your wellness goals, and go over your lifestyle and diet. The whole thing takes about 45 minutes, and you’ll leave feeling lighter and more energised!

Why every mum needs a colonic

You’ll have more energy. The more energy your child has, the less it feels like you have. It’s totally normal to feel drained. Add stress, irregular meals, and lack of sleep into the mix, and your digestive system can easily become sluggish. When your colon isn’t functioning properly, your body must work overtime to do something as basic as eliminating waste. That zaps your energy. A colonic helps clear out what’s been stuck, allowing your body to operate more efficiently and freeing up energy for the things that really matter - like chasing after your toddler or remembering where you left your coffee.

Your digestion will be better. Most mums don’t exactly get the luxury of mindful eating. Grabbing a bite between errands or finishing off your kid’s leftovers becomes the norm. Over time, that kind of eating, paired with stress, can wreak havoc on your gut. Poor digestion can show up in all kinds of ways: bloating, constipation, fatigue, inflammation, even headaches. Colonics help restore your colon’s natural rhythm and support your digestive system so it can do what it was designed to do: break down food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste with ease.

You’ll feel more focused. There’s a strong link between your gut and your brain, and if your gut health is off, it can affect everything from your mood to your memory. Many mums dealing with constipation or poor digestion also report feeling foggy, anxious, or emotionally drained. By supporting your digestive health with a colonic, you're also supporting your mental clarity, emotional balance and overall wellbeing.

Help your hormones, naturally. Pregnancy, birth, postpartum, sleepless nights and breastfeeding can all wreak havoc on your hormones. Our hormones directly impact our gut microbiome and vis vera. When we are not eliminating properly due to hormonal imbalances, we are absorbing the toxic material our body needs to eliminate. This can have a detrimental impact on our overall wellbeing. In addition, toxins present in today's world are causing more pronounced hormonal imbalances in women, supporting your body's detox pathways with colonics can make a huge difference.

Looking after yourself isn’t selfish. It’s essential! A colonic supports your body so that you can feel your best for both you and your children! Pooping is one of our most basic functions, so common it’s often overlooked. A colonic can help clear the build up, ensure gut microbiome health and leave you feeling refreshed and cleansed from the inside out.
