Introducing The Lymphatic Reset

Lymphatic Drainage Massage + Colonic Hydrotherapy

A refined, restorative experience designed to support your body's natural rhythm of release and

renewal.

Begin with a gentle, sculpting lymphatic drainage massage, designed to stimulate fluid movement,

reduce inflammation, and encourage deep internal balance.

Followed by a colon hydrotherapy session, this therapeutic pairing invites the body into a state of

clarity-releasing what no longer serves and creating space for optimal function and vitality.

Perfect for those seeking:

- A luxury detox experience
- Relief from bloating and sluggishness
- Immune and digestive support
- Deep, internal recalibration

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, rhythmic technique designed to stimulate the movement of lymph fluids throughout the body. When focused on the abdomen, this treatment supports digestive health, reduces bloating, and encourages detoxification.

You can book this service as a stand alone treatment or couple it with Colon Hydrotherapy, which we highly recommend for an incredible result!

Key Benefits of Abdominal Lymphatic Drainage

Reduces Bloating and Water Retention

Stimulating the lymph nodes in the abdomen helps the body eliminate excess fluids and waste more efficiently. Clients often notice a flatter, lighter tummy post-treatment.

Supports Digestive Health

Gentle manipulation of the abdominal area helps improve intestinal motility, reduce gas, and ease constipation. It’s an ideal complement to colon hydrotherapy and gut-healing protocols.

Promotes Detoxification

Encourages the natural detox process by clearing stagnation in the lymph and enhancing organ function.

Boosts Immune Function

Promoting healthy lymph flow supports the body's ability to fight infections and maintain balance.

Relieves Tension and Stress

The abdomen is a common area for emotional and physical stress to build up. This massage can help soften tension, promoting a deeper state of relaxation.

Enhances Results of Colon Hydrotherapy

When paired with colonics, abdominal lymphatic drainage can help stimulate elimination pathways and speed up the detox process.

Ideal For:

Clients experiencing bloating or sluggish digestion
Post-surgery recovery (with clearance from a medical professional)
People on a detox or gut reset program
Those wanting to improve skin clarity, reduce puffiness, or support immune health

What to Expect:

Gentle, soothing touch focused on the abdominal area
Deep relaxation and a sense of lightness afterward

When booking your services, please choose your massage time slot BEFORE a colonic. You can also choose the massage as a stand alone service but the combine benefits will be unmatched!

How will I feel after a colonic?

The effects of colonics can differ from person to person and can also vary from one colonic session to another. It is best to approach the procedure without preconceived expectations that cannot be guaranteed. However, some people report feeling more energetic, less bloated, mentally clear, and lighter after the procedure. Moreover, colonics can have a cathartic effect. In some cases, a colonic session may be intense and leave the individual feeling fatigued. In such instances, it is advisable to go home and rest. It is important to note that the outcome of each colon hydrotherapy session may vary.
Are colonics dangerous?

There is no need to worry about the safety of colonics. At Colonics Sydney, we take pride in following rigorous regulations set forth by NSW Health. Your safety is our top priority and we always prioritise it. If you feel uneasy during the treatment, please feel free to halt the session at any point.
Will I start to be reliant on colonics to have bowel movements?

At Colonics Sydney, we offer a unique method of Colon Hydrotherapy known as the Woods Gravity method, which does not involve filling the colon with water. Instead, this method relies on activating peristalsis, the natural muscular contractions that occur in the digestive tract. We do not use machines, pumps or pressurised water in this process. By regularly cleansing your colon with our method, you can strengthen and rehabilitate your colon. As a result, you may experience increased bowel movements due to improved peristalsis.
What can I eat after a colonic?

We suggest you wait an hour after your treatment before eating, to allow your body to rejuvenate before undergoing digestion again. Please avoid alcohol, sugar and processed foods as they can cause inflammation. Bone broth, soup, or a simple meal of protein and salad/cooked vegetables is a good choice after a colonic but do listen to your body - eat only if you're hungry. Remember to drink plenty of filtered water too. Aftercare will be provided to you after your session.
Are there different methods of Colon Hydrotherapy?

Yes there are! Woods Gravity - this is the method we use and the main point of difference with this system is that we DO NOT FILL THE COLON with water. Whilst we still use water to facilitate the colonic, it is not filling you up. A Woods-Gravity colonic is facilitated with a tank of water and disposable tubing therefore there are no machines used. A Woods Gravity colonic is facilitated completely by the practitioner. Closed System - this is the most common form of Colon Hydrotherapy using a machine that is facilitated by a practitioner. This system fills the colon with water and the waste exits the body via a speculum and tubing. Open System - this is a self-facilitated colonic that fills the colon with water whilst you are emptying your bowels on a large bed-type facility. Gravity System - this is the same system as Woods-Gravity however the colon is filled. For an explanation of the Woods-Gravity system please see the video at the top of this page.
Are laxatives just as effective?

It's important to note that laxatives are not a solution to constipation. In fact, they can worsen the problem by not addressing the root cause of gut issues. Laxatives require water to work, which can lead to dehydration and further constipation. It's crucial to find ways to improve gut health and promote regularity without relying on laxatives to avoid exacerbating the issue.
Will my gut be 'reset' after a colonic?

No. Whilst highly beneficial, your first and/or one colonic does not fully clean the colon or 'reset' the gut. Rehabilitating the gut is a multi factorial process that often requires multiple sessions.
What is a woods-gravity colonic and why do people need them?

If you are experiencing digestive issues like constipation, bloating, food intolerances, IBS, Candida Overgrowth, SIBO, and Leaky Gut, colonics are not only beneficial but essential. In addition, they can help alleviate inflammation, migraines, headaches, fatigue, autoimmune conditions, and problematic skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and thrush. Colonics are also helpful for hormone imbalances, food intolerances, weakened immune systems, bad breath, body odour, and brain fog. In the short term, colonics can relieve acute constipation, gas and gas pain, reduce bloating, help with mental and emotional release, and decrease inflammation of the gut and skin. Colonics are a great addition to your health, wellness and detoxification journey and can benefit people at various stages of their life and health path. When it comes to colonic systems, there are various types available, however, the most commonly accepted approach involves filling the colon with water to expel waste. At Colonics Sydney, we opt for a different approach. Instead of filling the colon with water, we use an effective method that involves activating peristalsis - the muscular contractions of the digestive system - to stimulate a natural bowel movement and release waste. Our method uses filtered gravity-fed water that doesn't create enough pressure to fill your entire colon, which sets us apart from other colonic systems. We use the Woods Gravity method, which is gentle, safe, and comfortable, and helps to stimulate muscle memory of the colon while keeping the delicate mucosal lining intact.
How do I prepare for a colonic? And Aftercare?

If it is your first time at the clinic please arrive 10-15 minutes before your appointment to fill out a New Client Form. Preparation before a colonic is relatively simple! Please refrain from eating for 3 hours before your appointment. If you want to drink any liquids such as hot drinks, juices, smoothies etc. please do so 1 hour beforehand. Water is fine right up until your appointment but we ask that you don't consume/scull large amounts just prior. A deposit has been paid to secure your booking. You can pay the remainder of your colonic with cash, bank transfer or EFT upon completion of your treatment. The way you feel after undergoing Colon Hydrotherapy can differ and is dependent on your individual health journey. You may experience a sense of lightness and vitality, fatigue, weariness, or simply feel indifferent. Colon Hydrotherapy (colonic) is a detoxification process that may or may not cause some discomfort afterwards. We will provide you with Aftercare information which includes detailed solutions if you are to experience any after effects. We will also provide dietary suggestions post colonic. It is wise to avoid processed foods, alcohol and soft drinks after your colonic and instead consume bone broth, soup, good quality protein and stay well hydrated.
How much does it cost?

We charge $150 per session
I'm pregnant, can I get a colonic?

Though Woods Gravity Colonics are safe and effective, we do not introduce colonics during pregnancy. Existing clients may be seen at our discretion.
I have daily bowel movements, will I still benefit from having a colonic?

There is a misconception that having daily bowel movements means you do not need a colonic. However, this is not necessarily true as even a daily bowel movement does not guarantee a healthy stool. We are exposed to toxins on a daily basis, and our colon may have remaining waste that cannot be eliminated naturally. It's like a toothpaste tube that still has paste left inside even after squeezing it out. This waste can harden and cause various issues. Colonics are not just beneficial for bowel health but also for mental health, reducing gas and toxins, and improving skin inflammation. The benefits are endless!
Will I see what comes out during the colonic?

During your colonic session, your therapist will be able to observe the results, but you will not. If you're curious, we can arrange to have parts of the session filmed. However, please keep in mind that while we strive for ideal results, every colonic may not yield the same outcome. Additionally, filming during a session may not always be possible.
I am constipated, will this fix it?

Colon Hydrotherapy is a common, extremely effective solution for constipation, and we believe that Woods Gravity Colonics offers the most effective treatment. We can attest from years of clinical experience that colonics are the best way to relieve fecal impaction caused by hardened stools and are more effective than laxatives. If you are suffering from constipation, we can also provide you with our Constipation protocol to address your needs.
Do colonics reduce bloating?

It is possible for Woods Gravity Colonics to effectively eliminate solid waste and gas, ultimately reducing uncomfortable bloating. If persistent bloating is an issue, we offer valuable guidance to identify potential causes and suggest lifestyle adjustments that can alleviate discomfort.
Can I use this to lose weight?

Colonics can help reduce inflammation, but they shouldn't be relied on as a quick-fix weight loss treatment or gimmick. Consistent treatments can promote a balanced microbiome, leading to a healthier metabolism. However, those looking for immediate weight loss results may be disappointed.
Can colonics help with IBS?

If you have been diagnosed with or suspect you have IBS, colonics can be highly beneficial. Our specialty is discussing and addressing IBS during your session.
Will 'kilos of waste' be removed from my body?

It's possible that you may have a significant amount of waste in your colon based on your personal circumstances. However, it's important to note that it may take more than one colonic for it to be released. Constipation can have several causes and typically requires lifestyle modifications and several cleansing sessions for accumulated waste to dislodge and pass during a colon cleanse.
How many colonics will I need?

One of the most commonly asked questions is about the number of colonics one needs. While there is no set answer, it's important to understand that colonics are not a one-time solution and that we don't provide treatment plans until after your first colonic, but expect to book another session soon after as advised by your therapist. Regular colon cleansing is recommended for your health and well-being, and it should be tailored to your budget and lifestyle. For optimal health and relief from issues like constipation, bloating, and digestive problems, a series of colonics or ongoing treatment is recommended, possibly every two weeks.
I take medication, can I have a colonic?

Colonics typically do not interfere with any medication nor are there contraindications. This includes antibiotics.
Can I resume normal activities after a colonic?

Absolutely! You are scheduled for a 45min time slot, which gives you plenty of time to fully release and return to your day as normal.
Can children have colonics?

No. We do not treat children at Colonics Sydney. You must be over 18 years of age.
How long does a session take?

The duration of the appointment is usually around 45-60 minutes but may vary. Kindly allocate 60 minutes for your booking.
How do I book?

All bookings are made via the website on the 'Bookings' page. Our booking system allows you to see all of the availability and is super simple to use! If you prefer, you can text us on 0404300765 (best to text rather than call) but please note that a deposit will need to be made via bank transfer to be able to secure the appointment.
Who CAN'T get a colonic?

If you have had recent abdominal and pelvic surgery including a C-Section birth or weight loss surgery, it is advised to wait 12 weeks until you can have a colonic. We regrettably and unfortunately can not treat anyone with Crohn's disease, Diverticulitis, Ulcerative colitis, kidney problems, Heart problems, active chemotherapy, colon cancer, colectomy, bowel perforation, bowel re-sectioning and if you're pregnant and have not had colonics previous to falling pregnant. Our treatment bed is fixed and does not move up or down therefore anyone requiring assistance to get onto the bed, and to the toilet may have difficulties also. We DO NOT treat children or very elderly people (over the age of 90). If you have a specific illness or injury it is best to call beforehand to discuss.
What is the process?

We ask you fast from eating food for 3 hours and liquids 1 hour before your treatment. Upon arrival you will fill out a New Client Form and your Therapist will then analyse and consult with you. You will then be taken into the treatment room and thoroughly explained the procedure so you understand how the system works (there is a video explanation to the left, also). The Therapist will leave the room and you will be asked to remove your clothing from the waist down (however you will be fully covered with disposable towelling). You will then lie on the bed. Once you are ready your Therapist will enter the room to begin the treatment, the therapist has clean hands and will wear disposable gloves and a disposable apron and will prepare the workspace. An instrument called a speculum is lubricated and gently inserted into the rectum - THIS DOES NOT, AND SHOULD NOT HURT. At Colonics Sydney we use single-use (disposable), TGA-approved equipment which is collected and disposed of by an outsourced waste disposal service as per NSW Health requirements. Once inserted, the water and waste tubes connect to the speculum. You are then covered up again completely - this process takes SECONDS. The water is then released down the water tube which does not generate enough pressure to travel into the colon, instead making it only to the rectum where it simultaneously exits through the waste tube and, through clever technique by the Therapist, the muscular contractions of the colon (called Peristalsis) are activated. The Therapist will gently massage your abdominal area when necessary and facilitate and control the entire process so you can relax and trust you are being well looked after. The treatment is approximately 45 minutes and during that time you can converse about lifestyle, health and gut issues. It is imperative to mention that the colonic will not hurt though some discomfort in the gut may arise (which is a good thing - that means you are detoxing!). A highly experienced and qualified Therapist fully facilitates the treatment and we take pride in our extremely high hygiene standards. Though Colonics are considered an alternative health treatment, we give you a professional clinical experience with the comfort of a holistic setting.
Are colonics covered by private healthcare?

Unfortunately not!
Do you remove all of my good bacteria during a colonic?

It is exaggerated to claim that all of your good bacteria are removed during a colonic. In fact, friendly bacteria tend to reside within the mucous lining of the colon and are not easily removed. However, it is important to eliminate overgrowth of harmful bacteria to maintain a healthy balance. We recommend incorporating probiotics and fermented foods such as kefir, sauerkraut, kvass, and occasionally kombucha into your diet to promote good bacterial growth and maintain overall health.
Can I do the massage without having a colonic?

Of course! We highly suggest both treatments together but the massage will still be beneficial on it's own.
How does it work?

Through light, rhythmic strokes, the massage encourages the flow of lymphatic fluid, helping to remove waste and toxins from the tissues and support immune function.
Is it painful?

No. The technique is very gentle and non-invasive. Most clients find it relaxing and soothing.
Can it help with constipation or IBS?

Yes. This massage can support bowel motility and help reduce symptoms related to digestive disorders like IBS, gas, and constipation.
