The Shea Way
Over the past 25 years of practicing colon hydrotherapy, we have developed what we call the "SLO-FIL" technique. Once a person begins to take water into their body, the autonomic nervous system becomes activated. We can moderate this activity by turning the water off intermittently, creating comfort and slowing down the process. Resting is good. This allows the client to integrate the information without becoming traumatized. It also gives them the sense of control over the process. Often the water moves higher into the colon for a more effective cleanse. We are documenting some great results! My colleague in Ireland, Bernadette Murphy, says it perfectly: “SLOWLY IS HOLY!”

What you can do
I am a firm believer in networking. It is much more effective than paper advertising. I have given free treatments to several health care providers in my community and they in turn have sent me clients. Several gastroenterologists in our area are referring clients to us for colonoscopy preparation. This is definitive progress and we're delighted! Its going to happen in a big way as more and more people get tired of "taking" drugs and begin "doing" something instead.
Several of our graduates secured funding from the Small Business Administration, grants from family and friends, benefactors. You can create barter with clients in exchange for treatments. Be creative, it’s unlimited! If your heart is in this, the openings will appear. For FREE business support visit www.sba.gov and www.business.gov.
Other Creative Ideas
The other possibility is to approach your own personal colon hydrotherapist about a partnership. Many of them haven't had a vacation in years! This is working well for several reasons. It becomes an apprenticeship as you begin your new career and you have a coach. We've paid graduates $20 per treatment for the first year and then offer them a percentage of the income for the second year. All they do is show up for work and we provide the office, instrument, supplies, etc. As this profession builds, there will be a growing need. There will ALWAYS be more people who need our service than there will be practitioners!
You can donate time and offer a series of presentations in the local schools, chambers of commerce, health food stores, hospital wellness programs, bookstores, etc. This is a wonderful way to educate people and build a practice. These organizations are always looking for guest speakers. This has been my greatest form of advertising! Also, remember the Yellow Pages and local papers that are distributed freely. Don't be shy. We are offering a wonderful healing experience that could prevent many disease processes. Tell the world about your own progress with colonics!
Tuition: $4800 per student, includes: housing, meals, welcome massage, 3 personal colonic sessions, study materials; phone and email contact with the instructor before and after graduation.

Of course, there are expenses related to advertising, renting a space, utilities, local occupational licenses, computer, staff, etc. which will vary with each person's goal. It may be helpful to rent space in an office with other professionals, i.e. chiropractors, massage therapists, etc.
REMEMBER, YOU WILL NEED A SEPARATE BATHROOM DEDICATED EXCLUSIVELY TO YOUR CLIENTS!
