Proud to be registered with both ARCH and the General Naturopathic Council 💚

I’ve been an ARCH Registered Colon Hydrotherapist since 2008, and I’m incredibly proud to belong to an association that places such importance on professional standards, ongoing training, safety and ethical practice.

I’m sharing this not only because I’m GNC registered myself, but also to help raise awareness of the professionalism and commitment found across our wonderful community of ARCH therapists.

When choosing a colon hydrotherapist, professional registration really does matter. It provides reassurance that your therapist is appropriately trained, works within clear professional standards and is committed to providing safe, responsible care.

Proud to support ARCH and all of its dedicated members 💚

💚 WHY ARE MANY ARCH THERAPISTS ALSO REGISTERED WITH THE GNC?

You may notice that many ARCH Registered Colon Hydrotherapists also display the GNC logo—but what does this mean for you?

The General Naturopathic Council (GNC) is a professional standards body for naturopathic practice in the UK. ARCH is one of its recognised professional associations, allowing eligible ARCH members to register as Associate Naturopaths.

GNC registration provides an additional layer of professional accountability. Registrants are expected to:

✅ Follow professional and ethical standards
✅ Practise safely and within their training
✅ Complete ongoing professional development
✅ Appear on a public practitioner register
✅ Be accountable through a formal complaints procedure

For the public, this offers added reassurance that their therapist is committed to high standards, transparency and professional conduct.

GNC registration does not mean that a therapist is a medical doctor or replace conventional medical care. It represents a voluntary commitment to additional professional oversight.

💙 Professional standards
🧡 Public reassurance
💙 Greater accountability

Three products I find myself reaching for time and time again in clinic… 🌿

Every client is different, so there’s never a one-size-fits-all approach, but these are three products I use most often to support digestive health.

🌿 CO-TON’A 00 – A traditional herbal formula used to help support bowel regularity.

🌿 ASP – An anti-spasmodic herbal blend to help support digestive comfort and ease abdominal cramping or bowel spasms.

🌿 COTON A 00 with turmeric . One of my other clinic favourites for supporting gut health and overall wellbeing.

The supplements I recommend are always tailored to the individual and used alongside a full consultation, diet and lifestyle advice.

If you’re struggling with your digestion and aren’t sure where to start, feel free to get in touch – I’m always happy to point you in the right direction. 💚

It all started by accident…

Over the past couple of years, more and more clients have been coming into clinic talking about peptides. They’d tell me what they were researching, share studies they’d found or simply tell me about the conversations they were having.

The more I listened, the more curious I became.

If you know me, you’ll know that’s usually how it starts! 😊

That curiosity has turned into hours of reading, learning and asking questions. The science is fascinating, and I’m continually amazed by the range of research exploring how peptides interact with different biological systems.

One thing I’ve realised is that the word “peptide” gets used a lot, but many people don’t actually know what one is.

So I’ve started creating simple educational posts over on Max Peptides UK | Research Supply, beginning right at the beginning.

If you’ve ever wondered “What is a peptide?”, I’ve tried to explain it in plain English.

I’d love you to take a look, and if there are any peptide topics you’d like me to explore next, let me know in the comments.

🧬 Education first. Always learning. Always curious.

💚 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.
