Ahhhhh January. The start of the New Year. Resolutions are being made left, right and centre and I can practically guarantee a good 80% of them are to lose weight, tone up and get the body of Cheryl Cole, Kim Kardashian or Ruth Jones (the woman has lost four and a half stone!)
The January diet is torture for all of us. The week between Christmas and New Year was MADE to desperately cram a mixture of Celebrations, cheese, selection boxes and turkey korma down your neck in the vain hope come New Year's Day you won't want to look at food again.
Doesn't work like that, does it?! I'd say there was a 50/50 split - with half of the population carrying on in a 'we don't go on holiday for SIX MONTHS' fashion and the other half crying whilst chewing on Ryveta, only to give in and eat a whole packet of digestives whilst watching the Biggest Loser.
Either way, the phrases bloated, heavy and down right exhausted spring to mind.
If the feeling is mutual, I would like to suggest the answer. Sarah Brookes of Holistic Ascentuals is an absolute life saver.
A colon massage may sound terrifying. Honestly, tell your friends you are having one and their expression will say 'you are mental and no longer my friend' ..... but just get them to hang in long enough to explain what happens and they will be queuing up to have the same procedure.
First of all, do not panic. A colon massage IS NOT colonic irrigation. No underwear is removed and no embarrassing scenes occur.
Sarah's website says a colon massage can help your colon to work more effectively leaving you feeling less sluggish, improved skin condition, toned can also help with stretch marks and cellulite. - as far as I'm concerned, EVERYBODY wants this!
It can help with a kick start to a Detox (yes please), constipation, bloating, IBS, stomach pains and much more.
When you arrive for your appointment with Sarah, she will immediately put you at ease. Whilst you sit on her sofas and have a drink, she will chat to you about your lifestyle and eating habits and really determine why you are feeling the way you are to guarantee you have picked the correct procedure.
She talks you through exactly what will happen and makes sure you are comfortable with the massage you have chosen. You will then be asked to remove jeans/trousers etc. and lay on the bed with a towel covering your bottom half.
Take it from me, the bed is seriously comfortable! With calming music on in the background and Sarah continuing to chat and explain the massage, you couldn't feel more relaxed.
Sarah explains that Colon Massage aims to help you to relax and promote the body's natural ability to heal itself by cleansing the colon of toxin build up. - as she is massaging you, she will explain exactly what is going on inside you. Although, possibly not for the faint hearted, it's nice to know the massage is working!
The results are instant and highly noticeable. I went for one of my first treatments with my mum, who couldn't believe how my bloating had disappeared.
Sarah advises on how to keep your diet healthy after the massage - and encourages you to drink plenty of water to avoid any side effects such as headaches.
She explains how regular massages can help - however, the regularity of the massage will be different for everybody.
I cannot recommend Sarah enough. She genuinely cares about her clients and wants to make sure the procedure they have chosen is right for them. If she doesn't think it is, she will suggest the correct alternative.
I recently enquired about the much hyped up Virtual gastric band, to which i was told 'absolutely not' (Sarah can do this type of therapy, but told me it wouldn't suit me)- and an alternative was suggested.
If you have over indulged and don't quite know how to kick start January, give Sarah a call.
