Flow & Flourish

Tomorrow I will be at Honey Fair in Callington! 🍯🐝

Please come and say hello if you see me! (I’m in the Pannier market area). I’ll be there to chat everything gut health so if you have any questions come and find me! 😊

See you there! x

IBS can make you feel like your toilet habits are something you should be embarrassed about… but trust me, I’ve heard it ALL. 😂

The bloating.
The constipation.
The urgency.
The wind.
The “I haven’t been for days…”
The “I’ve been 6 times today…”
The stomach noises.
The awkward stories.

And honestly? Nothing is TMI in my treatment room.
As someone who has experienced IBS myself, I know how frustrating, uncomfortable and sometimes downright embarrassing gut problems can feel.
So when you come in for colonic hydrotherapy, there is zero judgement.
You don’t need to apologise.
You don’t need to feel embarrassed.
And you definitely don’t need to worry about saying the “wrong” thing.
My job is to listen, make you feel comfortable and create a space where you can talk openly about what’s going on with your gut.
Because when it comes to bowel habits…
I promise you — I’ve heard worse. 😂

So if you’ve been putting off talking about your gut because you’re worried it’s “too much information”, consider this your sign 😉

Ladies and Gentlemen…. I bring you “The p**p stool”, and yes I have posted a picture of me sat on a toilet but it’s for a good cause!

Did you know that using a small footstool under your feet can make bowel movements easier for some people?

When your knees are raised above your hips, it puts your body into more of a squat-like position.

This can:

Straighten the anorectal angle, making the passage of stool easier.
Relax the pelvic floor, rather than requiring you to strain/push.
(Especially helpful for those who struggle with constipation)
Make bowel movements feel more complete for some people.
Potentially reduce time spent sitting on the toilet and repeated attempts to go.

🚽 So what’s the ideal position?

Put your feet on a low, stable stool, roughly so your knees are higher than your hips. Lean forward slightly, rest your elbows on your thighs, relax your belly and breathe rather than holding your breath and straining.

I always recommend these to my clients (and friends, family 😅) and the ones that try it really do notice a difference! It’s such a small and simple change.

Seriously! I’m not sure how else to get this point across so here it is 🤣

I really don’t see much at all, I promise!

Inserting the speculum takes all of 5 seconds and even then I really don’t see much AND you’re covered with a blanket.

Also it’s my job, it’s what I’m trained to do professionally and no offence, but your bottom is just another bottom to me! 🍑

Fully booked!

My first fully booked day since opening - also very nearly a fully booked week!

Thank you to every client who has trusted me to help them with their gut health and to anyone who’s liked, commented, shared posts, recommended my services down the pub or taken leaflets for me!

I am truly thankful! Thank you from the bottom of my….gut. 😉

Sometimes things don’t go as you’d expect… sometimes there’s a few surprises! Sometimes they are good surprises! Sometimes there’s extra benefits you weren’t expecting! ☺️
