Marcus Cornelius-White

Marcus Cornelius- White is the founder and Director of the Colon Hydrotherapy Centre. Marcus began his interest in health and fitness as a certified personal trainer at Jubilee Hall, Covert Gardens in London 1999. Feedback from clients in regard to after training care led him to obtain qualifications in massage to support client recovery.

While obtaining skills and qualifications in Reiki, Marcus’ interest in holistic health practices increased through Colon Hydrotherapy at the famous Hale Clinic in London. Marcus moved to Sydney in 2008 and completed Australian qualifications in massage and opened his first Colon Hydrotherapy Centre in Randwick in February 2009, which was later relocated to Darlinghurst in 2010. He currently has planned to open his Bondi Junction Centre on the 29th October 2011.

The philosophy behind the Colon Hydrotherapy Centre was to create a warm, peaceful environment where clients are relaxed and supported by a friendly knowledgeable team of practitioners.

Marcus continues to research best practice in Colon Hydrotherapy including regular training sessions at clinics throughout the United Kingdom and recently completed working with Annette Marshall to further his skills and knowledge. Annette opened the first Colonic Centre in Sydney 27 years ago and continues to practice today.

Marcus is a member of the Australian Colon Health Association Inc.

What Is The Colon ?

The Colon or large intestine is the final section of the human digestive tract. The colon is approximately 1.5 metres long and 7 centimeters in diameter. Its major functions are to eliminate waste and conserve water.

Why Clean The Colon ?

Through healthy daily activities- breathing, eating and drinking and the not so healthy activities - smoking, drinking alcohol, eating junk and processed foods our bodies and in turn our colons stop functioning properly. Lack of regular exercise and a stressful lifestyle will only slow down our proper system processes and our colon will start to collect toxins that can not be removed. Collectively these various unhealthy activities can be responsible for numerous body imbalances.

What is Colon Hydrotherapy ?

Colonic Hydrotherapy aims to rehabilitate, hydrate the body and remove waste matter.

What Occurs During The Treatment ?

Once the client is comfortable on the treatment bed; covered, a small disposable tube (speculum) is gently inserted into the rectum through which warm filtered water passes into the colon. The speculum has separate water and waste lines that are attached to the hydrotherapy machine. The practitioner remains with the client during the procedure detailing and explaining each step of the process. A series of ‘fills’ and releases of water occur through the speculum while the practitioner gently massages the abdomen. During the treatment bewteen 15-20 litres of filtered water is used slowly with a portion of this being absorded internally through your body. This is great for hydrating and maintaining a healthy system.
