About The Founder
Karen Horn is the founder of Body Works Colonics.
She is trained to the highest clinical standards, by the Association of Registered Colon Hydrotherapists ARCH.
Having always been interested in health, nutrition, and fitness she trained first as a holistic therapist, followed by sports and remedial massage, before training as a Colonic Hydrotherapist.
Karen is a realist not a purist, promoting balance and moderation. She believes knowledge is power. Understanding how your body works gives you the opportunity to make better choices and obtain optimum health. Having treated thousands of clients for over 20 years, you can be assured you are in safe hands.
Having always been interested in health, nutrition, and fitness she trained first as a Holistic Therapist, followed swiftly by Sports and Remedial Therapy as she wanted to treat people more in-depth. Karen started her business, client base and reputation by working in several local gyms and leisure facilities, along with running courses throughout Leicestershire for new mums teaching Infant Massage.
Her personal health lead her into Colonic Hydrotherapy where she trained at The Midland School, one of the few schools in the country to achieve the standards set by “ARCH” The Association of Registered Colonic Hydrotherapists. Now needing a more permanent place of work she set up her own clinic and has gone from strength to strength with the philosophy of providing quality treatments over quantity.


Over the years Karen has worked with thousands of clients, including team GB Athletes, Professional sports men and women, people with profound disabilities and life-limiting illnesses in both her clinic and in hospices. She has also been privileged to attend real anatomy dissection as part of her CPD training at Guys Hospital in London. Meeting and treating so many people from different walks of life has had a powerful impact on her life and has determined who she is as a person today.
Karen remains as passionate today as when she first started over 20 years ago, she absolutely loves what she does, and it shows.

Testimonitals
She is kind, caring and practical, and it is no coincidence she has been in practice for so many years. She has a big interest in science so will always look to explain and deliver her treatments with the best of evidence and knowledge available further enhanced by having been privileged to visit Guy’s hospital and experience real anatomy and physiology.
She approaches everyone and every treatment as an individual with a client centred approach, not a one size fits all, and is there to aid and assist her client’s health and well-being, whether the treatment is being used as a primary or adjunctive part of a protocol. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Karen as a therapist, and trust her judgment and skills implicitly.
The clinic environment is warm, welcoming and comfortable, with state-of-the-art equipment. I have had a number of courses over the last few years and really feel the overall benefits from colonic hydrotherapy. My IBS symptoms are much improved and my overall health and well-being has also improved, I feel reenergised and always notice a boost in my skin health; often with a kick start to much needed weight loss!
I wanted to write this review to offer credit to Karen as The Body Works Clinic therapist. I feel really looked after by her and her treatments make me feel so much better. I would thoroughly recommend The Body Works Clinic and Karen as a colonic hydrotherapist to anyone thinking about booking a colonic hydrotherapy treatment. Thank you so much!
I used to suffer from severe lower back and neck pain. Thanks to Karen’s amazing abilities, I am completely pain-free for most of the time, with only the occasional visit required.
Karen also provides excellent sports massage to my wife and three children, whenever they are in need.Karen is exceptionally knowledgeable about many different physical conditions, and I can recommend her most highly.
To many it may sound invasive, but it really is not. I have benefited from Karen’s expertise in colon cleansing for many years, usually twice a year. The results are almost immediate, it feels good to know that toxins have been removed your body, your skin feels glowing, and the process gives me more energy.
I have also benefited from Karen’s sports massage and she is very knowledgeable. Karen can find the problem tight areas to remove tightness which prevents stiffness and has allowed me to avoid any back problems.
Thank you Karen.
My treatments of colonic, help me maintain a healthy gut and prevents the bloating feeling that I sometimes have. My stressful job reacts negatively within my stomach and the treatment help to ease this. I always feel comfortable during this treatment, as the facilities are homely, exceptionally clean with shower facilities available, also as a bonus.
Colonic’s are a very intimate treatment, but Karen total professionalism has always kept me at ease. I have regular treatments of one per month, to keep my stomach healthy and I feel less bloated with no issues around toilet use. A treatment to have – once tried you will feel the difference.
Karen is very friendly, professional, knowledgeable and has always solved my injury problems and allowed me to return to doing what I enjoy, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.
The facilities are fantastic and her approach gives no reason to feel shy or embarrassed.
I will be continuing to see her for as long as her thumbs and elbows hold out!!!
The only sad thing about Karen's massage therapy, is that she will never be able to experience her own treatment. Always professional as well as knowledgeable. 10/10 every time I honestly can’t rate her high enough.
