As regular readers of my blog would be aware, I have a passion for mind-body medicine and self-development – having taken myself from being a pretty messed up and traumatised teenager, to the happy, well-balanced (mostly!), person that I am today.

Ok everybody – this is it! On the topic of detoxification, one of the questions I get asked about the most is anything and everything to do with colonics.
