About the School

The London School of Colonic Hydrotherapy has grown out of a successful colonic hydrotherapy practice founded by Pamela D’Alberto BSc (Hons). Pamela has employed numerous colonic hydrotherapists over the past few years and often found they had been inadequately trained so it was only natural that she soon thought about offering her own training courses with her extensive experience in colonic hydrotherapy as well as drawing upon her knowledge as a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

All of the lectures and clinical work will be undertaken in a real clinical environment using both open and closed systems on real patients.

The Course

The colonic hydrotherapy course is divided into 2 parts:

1. Anatomy and Physiology (unless already completed). This will be sent to you on a memory stick upon receipt of your deposit and includes the anatomy and physiology course notes with a workbook to assess your knowledge as you go along. At the end are 2 short assignments which need to be successfully completed in order to progress to Stage 2. Please allow a minimum of 6 weeks from the start of your practical week in order to complete this section.
2. Practical and seminars. These will be held onsite over a 5 day period (Monday-Friday 9.30am-5pm). Each day will consist of a half day each of practical work and relevant seminars.

On satisfactory completion of the course certificates are presented to you before you leave which will allow you to obtain insurance to go on and practice colonic hydrotherapy.

A non-refundable deposit of £500 is payable on booking your place on the colonic hydrotherapy course. Once this has been received then your course notes, workbook and assignments will be sent in an electronic format for you to complete if you are doing the anatomy and physiology. If you have provided proof of prior completion of anatomy and physiology then your course notes for the practical week will be emailed to you 2 weeks beforehand.

This deposit will entitle you to feedback and assistance in completing your assignments. Once these have been submitted electronically they will be checked and if satisfactory you will be allowed to progress to the practical week.

The balance of £1299 needs to be paid at least 2 months before the beginning of the practical week and is only fully refundable 2 months before the start of the practical week (minus a £49 administrative charge). No cancellations are allowed after this.
