Colonic Irrigation
You are what you eat. Yes, absolutely. You are also what you don’t eliminate. That’s an interesting thought.
The average healthy-weight adult on a typical western diet carries between 2-12kg of impacted faecal matter stuck to their bowel wall (for eg, they used to make wall-paper glue from white flour and water…!). This little-known fact is a reason why so many of us struggle with weight, with energy, with immune vitality, with skin blemishes, headaches, bloating and gut discomfort, sinus problems and body odour (to name but a few!).
Colonic Irrigation, or lavage, high enema or colonic hydrotherapy, is a safe, simple and intelligent approach to supporting the function of the body’s bowel. The bowel, (also colon or large intestine), is the last 5-6 foot of the body’s digestive tract. It’s your body’s garbage bin, or sewerage system. The bowel’s job, along with the obvious, is to host a range of bacteria responsible for approximately 80% of our immune system, recycle water and electrolytes (mineral salts), and make a few vitamins (some B’s and K).
Unfortunately, along with resorbing water and minerals, the bowel walls also absorb the by-products of whatever’s sitting in it. If matter sits in the bowel for too long, it produces some rather nasty results. Think what happens if you leave leftover food out in a warm moist environment for any length of time. It’s not a pretty picture, and it’s entirely preventable.
Colonic Irrigation removes old faecal matter, tones the bowel walls, and enhances overall bowel function.
Far Infra-red Sauna
A session in the medical grade Signature 1 Far Infrared Sauna at Flushed with Health leaves you incredibly relaxed, deeply warm, and feeling wonderful. Used as a stand-alone treatment, in conjunction with massage or colonic irrigation, or with their intelligent and effective detoxification support kits, FIR is an easy and pleasant way to recharge.
All sweat is a medium for removing body ‘toxins’. Sweat from a FIR experience, however, has been shown to consist of about 80% water and 20% toxins (herbicides and pesticides, heavy metals, and metabolic waste), whilst sweat from steam saunas and exercise contains about 97% water and 3% toxins. In addition, the FIR frequency that induces sweat triggers the release of natural endorphins (the body’s natural “happy hormones”).
Unlike other saunas, a FIR session heats you directly, not the air around you. This results in a relatively comfortable ambient temperature, meaning you can still breathe easily whilst sweating freely, without sitting in an overbearingly hot environment.
I believe this to be one of the most effective, whilst still safe and gentle, detoxification agents for hard-to-shift ‘nasties’ like mercury, cadmium, aluminium, lead, arsenic, agricultural chemicals, plastic derivatives, organochlorides, food additives etc.
Nutritional Supplements
Over 50% of Australian adults take some form of nutritional supplement. For many of them, it’s a bit ‘hit ‘n miss’ in terms of what they swallow. As the industry is only partially regulated, there are no standard guidelines about what manufacturers can claim, and misinformation is rife.
There is a huge spectrum in terms of quality and potency of nutritionals on the market. Kate Cooke has done the homework, and stocks only potency guaranteed, pharmaceutical-grade manufactured multivitamins and minerals. They have a high bioavailability (meaning your body can break down and absorb them), are in the correct ratios to work synergistically (ie not compete for absorption, and ‘boost’ each other’s function), and have been independently assessed by experts in the field to be absolutely top of the range.

Remedial Massage
Nothing compares to the sheer indulgent bliss of lying comfortably in a warm, lightly scented, peaceful room, and having a great massage. Therapeutic hands glide knowledgably across your body, kneading tight shoulders, releasing tension, relaxing your body and nurturing your soul.
Remedial massage with Kate can be as deeply therapeutic or as gently pampering as you like.
