What to look for in a Colonic Center?

New Year, New to Colonics? At Colonics by Anna Bella, we are proud to be a Colonic (colon hydrotherapy) Center that makes our clients’ safety and a professional experience essential. When choosing a Colonic Center, these are your most important considerations.  

Below is a clear checklist of how we provide our clients with the best possible experience.

✔️ Our practitioners have additional healthcare education (e.g., naturopathy, nutrition, etc).

✅ Thorough Pre-Treatment Screening

✔️ All of our new clients complete a detailed health history before any session. Regular clients are required to update their history annually. This helps identify contraindications and ensures your safety.

• What happens during the session
• What sensations or side effects to expect
