If there’s one treatment that quietly changed the trajectory of my health this year — mentally, emotionally, hormonally, energetically — it was colonic hydrotherapy. Not in the glam, Instagrammable way. Not in a green-juice-and-crystals way. In a deep reset, nervous-system-unclenching, “oh wow, I can breathe again” kind of way.
I went to The Treatment Rooms in Skelmersdale Lancashire — the place run by the angelic powerhouse that is Tracy Johnson — and it ended up becoming a turning point for me.
A quiet revolution in my gut, but also in my mind.
And honestly? I think colonic hydrotherapy is going to be a major wellness trend in 2026, especially for women with neurodivergence, stress, hormone imbalance, and gut issues.
It’s grounding. It’s clarifying.
It’s like clearing the static from the frequency so you can finally tune back into yourself.
Let’s get into it.
What Is Colonic Hydrotherapy (and Why Has It Been Around Forever)?
At its core, colonic hydrotherapy is a safe, gentle cleansing of the colon using warm, filtered water.
It supports:
- sluggish digestion
- bloating
- constipation
- toxin buildup
- brain fog
- skin issues
- stress and emotional stagnation
It’s an ancient practice for a reason — nearly every culture has some variation of gut cleansing and detoxifying rituals. We’ve just forgotten because the modern world shoved convenience foods, stress hormones, and endless screens in front of us.
At The Treatment Rooms, the experience is extremely professional, non-invasive, and shockingly calming. Tracy is one of those practitioners who makes you feel held, not judged.
The Unexpected Benefits I Felt (Mind, Body, and Mood)
I didn’t expect it to change my mental health. But it did.
Here’s the real, lived experience version…
1. My mind stopped feeling so “stuck”
I didn’t realise how much physical stagnation amplifies emotional stagnation.
After my treatment I felt like someone had opened a window in my brain. Clearer thinking. More focus. Less heaviness.
2. My anxiety went down
The vagus nerve (the queen of our nervous system) runs through the gut.
When your digestion is inflamed, sluggish, or overstressed, the vagus nerve sends SOS signals straight to your brain.
No wonder so many people feel anxious without knowing why. After my session, I felt regulated. Like my body finally got a moment to reset.
3. My skin looked brighter
When your liver and colon aren’t overwhelmed, it shows. Glow starts in the gut — not Sephora.
4. My hormones felt calmer
As someone deep in the world of estrogen balance, DHT sensitivity, and metabolic regulation, supporting digestion plays a huge part in how your hormones behave.
Better elimination = better hormone clearance = better skin, mood, and energy.
5. A sense of “I’m starting again”
This was the biggest shift. It felt symbolic — like letting go of stored stress and stagnant energy.
A physical reset that trickled into an emotional one. It set me on a clearer path this year. One that I genuinely want to carry with me into 2026.
Why I Think Colonic Hydrotherapy Will Be a 2026 Wellness Trend
Here’s my take, based on everything I’ve seen happening in the wellness space:
1. People are craving clarity
Mental clarity. Emotional clarity. Physical clarity.
Colonics give you a literal and symbolic detox moment.
2. Gut health is becoming mainstream
Everyone is learning about the gut-brain axis.
Creators, celebs, doctors — all talking about the microbiome, inflammation, and detox.
3. The rise of functional medicine thinking
People are done masking symptoms.
They want root causes, deep resets, and personalised treatments.
4. It fits the ritual-based living that’s trending
Cold plunges. Red light. Sauna culture.
Colonics slot naturally into that “reset ritual” category.
And honestly… it just works.
Why I Recommend The Treatment Rooms (and Tracy) Specifically
Tracy is one of the safest, warmest, most knowledgeable practitioners I’ve ever met.
Her approach is:
- gut-health focused
- science-based
- non-judgemental
She blends years of experience with the gentlest energy. Having won Manchesters Prestige Awards spotlighting Tracy as the best colonic hydrotherapist in Lancashire.
You feel looked after, not lectured.
