While in California last week, I visited two clinics run by past speakers from the International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy annual conference, where I’ll also be presenting virtually this year.
Experiencing treatments firsthand and discussing clinical approaches with other practitioners is one of the most valuable forms of continuing education.
Something many people don’t realize is that colon hydrotherapy as a whole is a largely unregulated industry worldwide. This means practitioners often develop their own techniques, philosophies, and training paths depending on where and how they learned. That reality is exactly why I make a point of visiting other clinics whenever I travel.
Organizations like the International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy have worked to create more structured education in the field, but the profession is still evolving.
As both a nurse and a practitioner, I believe continuing education is essential. Even as an instructor candidate within the International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy, I see tremendous opportunity for our profession to keep growing, improving training, and strengthening standards of care.
During these visits I was able to observe and experience different approaches to:
• intake and assessment
• treatment techniques
• patient comfort during sessions
• open vs closed systems
• post-session education
Every clinic had its own philosophy and strengths.
After giving nearly 2000 colonics at Rewind Wellness, one thing remains true for me:
The best practitioners never stop being students.
Grateful for colleagues who are willing to share knowledge and help push this profession forward.
Looking forward to sharing more when I speak at this year’s International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy conference.
