Meet Your Therapist
Karen Horn – RICTAT Registered Colonic Hydrotherapist
I’ve spent over 30 years working in clinical practice, supporting people with a wide range of health concerns. For the last 20 years, my focus has been exclusively on colonic hydrotherapy and gut health, helping clients across the East Midlands feel lighter, more comfortable, and better informed about their digestive system.
I trained with ARCH (the Association and Register of Colon Hydrotherapists) and I’m a registered member of RICTAT (The Register of Integrative Colon Hydrotherapy and Training). But beyond qualifications, what I bring to every session is genuine care, clinical experience, and a science-led approach that doesn’t cut corners.
I don’t believe in wellness gimmicks, pushy sales tactics, or making exaggerated claims. I believe in giving people the time, the information, and the support they need to make informed decisions about their health.
Body Works Colonics was created to offer exactly that: a private, purpose-built clinic where you’re treated as an individual, not a number. Where appointments are never rushed. Where you can ask questions, feel heard, and leave with a clear understanding of your gut health and what steps, if any, you might want to take next.
My commitment is simple: integrity, education, and evidence-based care. You deserve nothing less.
Our Story
Body Works Colonics has been serving the East Midlands community for over two decades, establishing itself as the region’s longest-running and most trusted colonic hydrotherapy clinic.
Our founder brings over 30 years of clinical healthcare experience, with the last 20 years dedicated exclusively to gut health and colonic hydrotherapy. This depth of experience allows us to provide care that goes far beyond basic treatment.
We opened our purpose-built clinic in Shepshed, Leicestershire, to create a truly private, professional environment where clients can feel completely at ease. Unlike multi-treatment spas or volume-driven clinics, we focus solely on what we do best: evidence-based colonic hydrotherapy.
Our Purpose-Built Clinic
Every detail has been designed for your comfort, privacy, and peace of mind
Our Philosophy
We believe that effective healthcare requires three essential elements: time, knowledge, and genuine care.
No Sales Pressure
You’ll never be pressured into packages or unnecessary treatments. We recommend only what we believe will genuinely benefit your health, based on your individual circumstances.
No Hype, Just Science
We don’t make exaggerated claims or jump on wellness trends. Our approach is grounded in evidence and decades of clinical observation. We’re honest about what colonic hydrotherapy can and cannot do.
Education First
Understanding your gut health is empowering. We take time to explain the science, answer your questions, and help you make informed decisions about your well-being.
Longer Appointments
Unlike clinics that rush clients through 30-minute sessions, we allow ample time for proper consultation, treatment, and aftercare discussion. Quality cannot be rushed.

What Clients Say
“Karen is super knowledgeable, loves the job and her Studio is absolutely immaculate. The colonic has made me feel refreshed, alert and has decreased my bloating. I’ve experienced no negative side effects whatsoever. Highly recommended.”
“I’ve just had my second great experience with Karen for Colonic Hydrotherapy. It was a bit daunting to start with, but Karen’s excellent explanation of the procedure and how it works soon put my mind at rest. I’ve had great benefit from the procedure, having suffered with a spasmodic colon for the past 5 years. A regular procedure seems to be the way forward, with dietary amendments Karen has suggested. She is very knowledgeable with down to earth advice which works. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“I have been having colonics with Karen for many years which says it all really. Karen is lovely and is excellent at her job, the facilities are really nice and spotlessly clean.”
