If you are a retreat facilitator or enjoy introducing people to the wonderful world of wellness, then ensuring your guests have the ultimate experience should be top of your priority list.
Retreats are gaining much popularity as the demands of society in a constantly “on” world increase. People are seeking places to rest, recharge and switch off.
Relaxation, health food, movement and meditation are the usuals on the menu, maybe some added beautiful spa treatments.
But what about enemas?
Whether it’s yoga in the mountains, breathwork by the ocean, or a full-blown detox in the countryside - retreats are all about resetting and transformation. And transformation isn’t always smooth sailing. When people dive into deep healing, their bodies often go through just as much change as their minds. That’s where enemas come in.
Kyah, our lovely founder at Happy Bum Co, recently collaborated at the Aro Ha retreat, not only enjoying the experience herself but also co-hosting and sharing coffee enemas and all about gut health with the beautiful group of people who were there.
Guess what? The feedback was incredible.
And that’s the magic of retreats - the people. They’re always the most fascinating mix. Why? Because anyone who chooses to go on a retreat is actively seeking something more. They’re curious, open-minded, and ready to explore new ways of thinking and being.
Why enemas belong at your retreat
Constipation, bloating, sluggish digestion… these are super common, especially when people travel or change their diet suddenly. And what do retreats usually involve? Travel, new food, fasting, juice cleanses, emotional release, and a whole lot of detoxing. That’s a lot for the gut to handle.Offering people an easy and natural way to relieve these symptoms themselves can make the experience much more enjoyable for them. Hint: No one wants to do yoga with a gassy belly
Offering coffee enemas (or even simple water or herbal enemas) can help guests feel supported through this process and it can offer a natural, easy and instant way to get relief. This will make their whole experience at the retreat more comfortable and give them invaluable tools to use at home as they try to integrate back into their day to day. Retreats need to take a focus on gut health as part of a healthy life is helping people feel regular, comfortable, and grounded while their bodies adjust to all the newness.
Let’s not forget: most people are flying or driving long distances to get to your retreat. Travel alone can throw digestion out of whack. Add in a detox protocol and you’ve got a recipe for some serious gut confusion. Enemas can help reset the system quickly, gently, and effectively.
You want people to leave feeling good
This is the heart of it. You want your retreat guests to walk away feeling amazing. Not bloated and uncomfortable because of their sudden change in diet. Nobody wants to be running to the toilet the entire retreat or letting gas loose at yoga. You want them to feel like they were truly cared for, supported, and guided through a meaningful experience. It’s also an amazing way to offer them lifelong tools to help support their gut health and detoxification as they re-enter the demanding world they came from.
People come to retreats ready to change, heal, and grow. By offering enemas, you’re giving them the tool to support that journey.
