Anyone qualified?

Hi,

I noticed elsewhere you have just qualified as a reflexologist. Congratulations! It will be far too soon to be considering another therapy. You need to concentrate and develop your skills in a therapy until you move on. This can take time depending on your clients and the quality of your training.

I get the feeling, from your previous posts, that you are wanting to add as many therapies as you can. Personally, I would not go to a therapist who was offering more than three or four therapies as I would feel they would be 'spreading themselves too thin'. Remember the saying 'Jack of all trades, Master of none'.

I don't know very much about colonic hydrotherapy (it scares me a bit) but I am sure there are many on this forum who may be able to give you the information you want.

Take care

Hi Jh

I am a trained Holistic and Colon Hydrotherapist.

I run a holistic treatment room in Ratoath, Co Meath, and also work from 2 Dublin Clinics offering Colon Hyrotherapy.

I am interested in many aspects of Holistic Health, Fitness and Wellbeing.
I am a student of life, with a passion for knowledge.

Hopefully this makes me a better therapist and not a "jack of all trades"

In answer to the original question. I find colon hydrotherapy very rewarding.

Hi Candy,

I'm so sorry you seem to have taken offense at my comments.

What I said was that if someone train in too many therapies too quickly then they will not have given themselves time to develop their skills and master each therapy.

Thanks Mog,:)

No offense taken. I agree.

To train as a Colon Hydrotherapist in this country you need to have either a medical/nursing backround or at least 2 full years experience as a body therapist with a recognised A&P Qualification.

Like Candy I am also a holistic therapist (massage, reflexology, reiki) but in April qualified in colonic hydrotherapy. I am also a registered nurse.

I can say that since the end of April I have made enough to cover the cost of the course and also obtaining the equipment.

However, much as we need to make money to live I wouldn't necessarily pick a treatment based on ho much I would earn from it. I chose to do colonics due to my nursing background and because I am in my 3rd year of a Dip in Nutrition at ION and felt the two would go well together.
