💚 This was a lovely reminder to see this morning.

We often find it so easy to care for everyone else, yet can be incredibly hard on ourselves.

Life can feel busy, demanding and sometimes overwhelming, and it’s easy to keep pushing through without checking in with how we’re doing.

Taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury or something to feel guilty about. It’s part of staying well, staying grounded and being able to keep showing up for the people we love and care about.

Be kind to others, but don’t forget to be kind to yourself too. 💚

Thank you Lauren for sharing this x

Why I’m Proud to Be Part of ARCH Colonic Assoc. ❤️

I’m very proud to have been ARCH trained and a registered member of ARCH since 2008.

Over the years, I’ve met some wonderful practitioners and been part of a professional community that genuinely cares about maintaining high standards, continuing education and, most importantly, supporting clients with compassion and respect.

One of the things I value most about being an ARCH member is the commitment to ongoing learning. No matter how long you’ve been practising, there’s always more to learn, and I believe that investing in our knowledge ultimately benefits the people who trust us with their care.

For me, colonic hydrotherapy has never been just about the bowel. It’s about taking the time to listen, understanding each person’s individual needs and creating a safe, comfortable and supportive environment where they feel heard and cared for.

Nearly 20 years on, I still feel privileged to do the work I do and grateful to be part of an organisation that continues to uphold professionalism, ethics and client-centred care.

Thank you, ARCH, for the support, guidance and community you provide to practitioners like me.

💚

🌿 Did you know the appendix may play a role in supporting gut bacteria and immune health?

For years it was thought to be a “useless” organ, but research is revealing a much more interesting story. The gut microbiome continues to surprise us, and understanding how different parts of the digestive system work together is an important part of supporting overall wellbeing.

A fascinating post from ARCH Colonic Assoc. worth a read 👇

For many years the appendix was considered a “useless” organ”… but research is now revealing it may play a much more supportive role in both the gut microbiome and the immune system.

The appendix is a small finger-like pouch attached to the beginning of the large bowel, yet scientists now believe it may help support the delicate balance of bacteria living within the gut.

✨ A possible “safe house” for beneficial bacteria
The appendix contains protective biofilms where beneficial bacteria may live relatively undisturbed. Following illness, infections, diarrhoea or antibiotic use, the appendix may help support the repopulation of friendly gut bacteria within the bowel.

✨ Supports immune function
The appendix contains lymphoid tissue, which forms part of the body’s immune defences. This tissue helps the body interact with microbes entering the digestive tract and supports communication between the gut microbiome and immune system.

✨ Why can bowel habits sometimes change after appendix removal?
Many people live perfectly healthy lives after having their appendix removed. However, some individuals report temporary or longer-term changes in bowel habits afterwards, including:
• bloating
• constipation
• looser stools
• digestive discomfort
• altered bowel regularity

This may partly relate to temporary disruption within the gut microbiome, post-surgical changes, inflammation, antibiotic use or changes in bowel motility during recovery.

✨ Supporting digestive wellbeing afterwards
Supporting the gut microbiome through hydration, fibre (where appropriate), balanced nutrition, stress management and overall digestive wellbeing may help the body during recovery.

Some people also choose to consult an ARCH registered Colonic Hydrotherapist as part of a broader wellbeing approach to support bowel regularity, hydration and digestive comfort following recovery from surgery.

Thank you Just For Tummies
ARCH Colonic Assoc.

I wanted to share something important about professional standards in colonic hydrotherapy.

As a member of ARCH( the Association and Register of Colon Hydrotherapists), I’m proud to be part of an organisation where all registered therapists are properly trained and follow strict protocols to ensure safe, professional practice — both here in the UK and further afield.

There’s a lot of misinformation out there, and it can sometimes leave people unsure about what’s safe and what isn’t. That’s why clear, honest education is so important. One of our lovely ARCH therapists, Linda, explains beautifully just how safe and carefully delivered colonic hydrotherapy can be when carried out by a properly trained professional 💚

If you ever have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out — reassurance and understanding are always part of the service.

10/02/2026

I wanted to share a little about the professional association I belong to — the Association and Register of Colon Hydrotherapists (ARCH) — because I think it’s important people know there are high standards, proper training and real professionalism within colonic hydrotherapy.

ARCH is the UK’s main professional body for colon hydrotherapy, working to protect the public while supporting therapists to maintain excellent standards of care. It holds the CNHC Quality Mark, which means it meets recognised national benchmarks for complementary healthcare and operates with clear codes of conduct and ongoing professional development.

For me personally, being part of ARCH means accountability, continued learning, peer support and reassurance for my clients that they’re in safe, professional hands.

Raising awareness about professional standards really matters — both for clients seeking safe treatment and for therapists committed to best practice 💛

⭐️The Association of Registered Colon Hydrotherapists (ARCH) is the UK’s main professional body for colonic hydrotherapy.
Think of it as a gold-standard organisation that exists to protect the public and support its therapists.

⭐️ARCH holds the CNHC Quality Mark, meaning it meets recognised national benchmarks for complementary healthcare.

Do you ever feel anxious about leaving the house because your bowels feel unpredictable?
Maybe you plan outings around toilet stops or always need to know where the nearest loo is. If so, please know you’re absolutely not alone.

IBS-type symptoms affect around 10–20% of people in the UK — that’s millions of people quietly managing the same worries every day. And yes, that anxiety around your bowels is very real and very understandable.

Colonic hydrotherapy can be a supportive option as part of a wider wellbeing approach. It’s a gentle treatment using warm, filtered water to cleanse the colon, and many people find it helps support digestive comfort, bowel regularity and confidence in their day-to-day routines.

ARCH Colonic Assoc.

Do you ever feel anxious about leaving the house, or find yourself planning outings around toilet breaks and needing to know where the nearest toilet is — simply because your bowels feel unpredictable?

These are very common IBS-type symptoms. You’re not alone. Around 10–20% of the UK population experience IBS-type symptoms at any given time — that’s approximately 6–13 million people.

For those living with unpredictable bowels, colonic hydrotherapy can be a supportive option as part of a wider wellbeing approach.

This gentle treatment focuses on cleansing the colon with warm, filtered water and may help to support digestive comfort, bowel regularity and the body’s natural elimination processes. Many people find that it helps them feel more in tune with their digestion and more confident in their day-to-day routines.

Contact an ARCH registered colonic therapist near you to see how they can support you and help you take control back over your bowel’s.

🌿The benefits of adding a coffee e***a onto your colonic hydrotherapy treatment…..

When used carefully and under the guidance of a trained registered colonic Hydrotherapist, some clients choose to include a coffee e***a as part of their colonic treatment.

💧So what benefits does it include adding this onto your colonic treatment?

☕️Support for liver detoxification - Coffee e***as stimulate the liver and gallbladder, encouraging the release of bile. This helps the body’s natural detox pathways work more efficiently.

☕️Increased glutathione activity - certain compounds in coffee (such as cafestol and kahweol) support the production of glutathione, one of the body’s key antioxidants involved in detoxification.

💩Encouragement of bowel movement - The warmth and gentle stimulation helps to trigger peristalsis (the bowels natural wave-like movement) supporting the release of retained waste in the large bowel.

🧠Gut - liver connection support - Because the gut and liver work closely together, supporting liver function may help reduce toxic load on the gut, which some clients then report feeling lighter, clearer and more energised after treatment.

Healing is not about doing more, it’s about doing what’s right for the individual so talk to your therapist about the benefits of adding a coffee e***a onto your next colonic treatment session.
