Where Did Colonics Originate? - About Optimal Wellness

Where Did Colonics Originate?

Colonics are not new to the holistic community. Written about in 1500 AD, colon care through water irrigation was often times the first modality used when treating a person with an imbalance in the body. Centuries later we are being pulled back to what is tried and true. Western medicine and the Western paradigm have its limitations, while a holistic viewpoint looks at all the body systems working synergistically together. It is my pleasure to work with open-minded, conscious, truth-seekers ready to take personal responsibility for their good health.

Colonics have been part of holistic health for centuries, dating back to 1500 AD when water irrigation was used to treat body imbalances. Today, we’re rediscovering these effective methods. Unlike Western medicine, which has its limits, holistic approaches see the body as a connected whole. I’m excited to work with open- minded people who are ready to take charge of their health and well-being. The link between gut health, digestion, and brain function is fascinating and increasingly recognised. Think of the gut as a “second brain” that’s bustling with activity. This busy network of gut microbes helps with digestion and produces neurotransmitters like serotonin, which boosts our mood and keeps us feeling sharp. Good digestion ensures we get all the nutrients our brain needs to stay focused and happy. Plus, the gut and brain are constantly chatting with each other, influencing how we feel and respond to stress. So, when our gut is happy and healthy, our mind tends to follow suit, highlighting the amazing connection between what we eat, how we digest, and how we think and feel.

What Is Colon Hydrotherapy?

What Is Colon Hydrotherapy?

Colon hydrotherapy, also known as Colon Irrigation or Colon Cleansing is a gentle internal bath that helps to clean the colon of waste, gas, mucous and toxins. It is a simple and safe treatment that involves the introduction of warm, filtered water into the colon, cleansing the bowel and giving it a soothing internal massage.

The water works in two ways: firstly, it cleans out waste in the colon, and secondly, it stimulates peristalsis which encourages proper bowel function, helping to return your digestive system to a more natural, healthy state.

In recent years, colon hydrotherapy has gained popularity in Ireland and around the world as people recognize the importance of maintaining good gut health. Colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonic irrigation, is a safe and effective way to cleanse the large intestine, helping to remove toxins and improve overall well-being. But what exactly is colon hydrotherapy, and how can it benefit you? 

What Does A Colonic Treatment Involve

Your first appointment will include a colon hydrotherapy treatment which takes approximately 40 – 60 mins including a mini consultation, medical questionnaire and a full explanation of the equipment and procedure before we begin. 

A single-use disposable speculum is gently inserted and warm filtered water is gently introduced into the colon via the rectum. The abdomen is massaged at stages throughout the colonic, which can help loosen impacted waste and mucous which is then drained away discreetly. We also use an array of colonic enhancements to help eradicate bacteria, parasites, help reduce tiredness and increase well being. Herbs may be used to stimulate or relax the bowels depending on your bowels. Coffee or probiotic implants may be used after a colonic should a client request them and the therapist feels the client will benefit from this. This a very comfortable treatment and not painful. We use a closed system machine which means the temperature and pressure is carefully controlled. Clean filtered water is fed gently into the bowel and the water and waste is flushed out through a pipe, ensuring no fuss, no mess and no smells! The therapist will be with you throughout the treatment.

About Optimal Wellness

Registered Colon Hydrotherapist | Nutritional Therapist |Dublin

Erika Doolan BA (Hons), Dip.NT, FPCH, RICTAT

I have always had a strong passion for health, nutrition and helping people feel their best. My own journey into digestive health began in 2001 when I experienced ongoing gut health issues. Seeking a natural solution, I turned to Colon Hydrotherapy and discovered the powerful benefits it can have on digestion, energy and overall wellbeing.

Through this personal experience, I saw how lifestyle changes, nutrition and colonics can work together to transform health. Feeling healthier, lighter and more balanced inspired me to help others achieve the same results. This led me to train as a Nutritional Therapist at the Irish Holistic Medical Centre, the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM), and the Walshe Research Institute.

I am a fully qualified and insured Colon Hydrotherapist, and a proud member of RICTAT and NTOI. Working in the field of digestive health and nutrition is something I truly love. It is an ongoing journey of learning and discovery, and I am continually expanding my knowledge to provide the best possible support for my clients.

Colon Hydrotherapy and Nutrition: A Powerful Combination

Colon Hydrotherapy and Nutritional Therapy complement each other beautifully. Many clients come to me struggling with constipation, bloating, IBS and other digestive issues. After a colonic treatment, they often feel immediate relief, improved comfort and renewed motivation to make positive changes to their diet and lifestyle.

My approach is focused on education, guidance and empowerment. I support clients step by step to improve their digestive health, understand their body and develop habits that lead to long-term wellbeing. Through personalised nutrition advice, practical lifestyle strategies and professional colon hydrotherapy treatments, I help people restore healthy bowel function and feel better from the inside out.

Whether you are dealing with ongoing gut health issues or simply want to feel lighter, healthier and more energised, I am here to support you on your journey.

If you are new to colon hydrotherapy – welcome to a whole new experience of radiant health and self-care.

My mam had told me how amazing Erika was and how great she felt after getting colon hydrotherapy. I was so nervous to try it for myself but I decided I would give it a try and I am so happy I did! Erika really put me at ease during my sessions, not only did I leave Erika feeling great and re-energised, I received a better understanding of my gut and how to help with the discomfort I was feeling. I would urge anybody who is nervous to try colon hydrotherapy just give it a try, you will feel so much better and I really couldn’t recommend Erika enough she is so lovely. I have not stopped telling everyone of the great experience I had with Erika and I will most definitely be back in the future.
Erika is an exceptional professional who truly accommodates each patient's individual needs, especially given my previous experience with colonics. Her attentive approach made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The treatment was highly effective, and I achieved the results I was looking for. Highly recommend!

Absolutely rejuvenating experience! I recently had a colonic hydrotherapy session with Erica, and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. Erica's professionalism and warm demeanor immediately put my nerves to rest. She took the time to explain the entire process, ensuring I felt comfortable every step of the way.

The session itself was incredibly effective. Erica's expertise shone through, and I appreciated her gentle approach, making the experience both relaxing and cleansing. I left feeling lighter, more energized, and with a newfound sense of well-being.

The ambiance of the clinic was calming, with soothing music and a clean environment, which added to the overall positive experience. If you're considering colonic hydrotherapy, I highly recommend booking a session with Erica. She truly is the best in the business! Five stars all the way! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 oh and on my second treatment we did the liver cleanse and she gave me a lovely castor oil massage.

I’ve struggled with bowel issues for years and knew I had a blockage for at least eight months due to all the symptoms I was experiencing. One night, I decided to try colonic hydrotherapy and came across Erika, who was conveniently local to me. After doing thorough research on her experience and reading reviews, I booked a session for just two days later.

Upon arrival, I was quite nervous since I had never had this type of treatment before. However, within five minutes, Erika made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She walked me through everything in detail, and the treatment room was immaculately clean and thoughtfully decorated to promote relaxation. There were also plenty of informative signs about gut health, vitamins, and related topics, which I found helpful.

During the treatment, Erika ensured I was warm and comfortable and was very gentle in starting the process. She guided me through every step, which made the entire experience stress-free.

I’ve since returned for a second session to help address a few lingering blockages. The results have been amazing—my extreme bloating has significantly reduced, going from looking six months pregnant to having a nearly flat stomach. Additionally, I feel calmer and less anxious overall.

I highly recommend this treatment and, without hesitation, would recommend Erika as the perfect therapist for the procedure. Thank you, Erika, for transforming my health and confidence! See you again soon.

I recently visited Optimal Wellness for a colon hydrotherapy session, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed with the treatment I received from Erica. As an older woman who had never had this treatment before, I was a little nervous initially, but Erica walked me through the process every step of the way. She was incredibly pleasant and extremely helpful, which put me completely at ease. I ended up really enjoying the experience and felt great afterward. I left feeling very satisfied and would highly recommend her treatment to any woman. I’m already looking forward to my next session as soon as Erica recommends I return.

I’ve had tummy pains and constipation for a long time, and as a celiac, it’s been tough to find anything that really helps. I decided to try colon hydrotherapy at Optimal Wellness, and I’m so glad I did.
Erika was fantastic she’s really knowledgeable and gave me some great nutritional advice that works for my condition. I felt completely comfortable and in safe hands the whole time. Since starting, I’ve noticed a big improvement with my digestion, and my stomach feels so much better. I also feel way more confident about managing my diet now. If you’re thinking about trying colon hydrotherapy, I’d definitely recommend Erika….she’s brilliant!
I recently had colon hydrotherapy at Optimal Wellness, and I can’t recommend Erika enough. I was pretty nervous before my first session, but she made me feel so at ease. She’s super professional, explained everything really clearly, and the treatment room was cosy and relaxing, which helped me feel comfortable straight away.

After just one session, I felt less bloated, my migraines stopped, and my head felt so much clearer. By the time I finished three sessions, I felt like a completely new person. I even lost some weight, which was a great bonus!

Erika is amazing at what she does, and the whole experience was so much better than I expected. If you’re thinking about trying colon hydrotherapy, I’d definitely recommend giving Optimal Wellness a go!
