Sona Wellness covers it all when it comes to overall health

When you go for a treatment at Sona Wellness, there is a good chance you will leave feeling better both physically and mentally.

Colon hydrotherapy involves the gentle cleansing of toxins out of the large colon, and also flushes the liver and gallbladder of stored toxins. Benefits of this treatment include better digestion, increased energy, decreases bloating and constipation, and improves our immune system and overall health.

Founder Kelly Gillies believes getting a physical cleanse is just as positive for your mental state.

“I’m very clinical, but there’s definitely a spiritual side to detoxing,” Gillies says. “We hold on to a lot of shame and guilt and negative emotions in our gut. So there’s always an emotional release as well.”

Sona Wellness, which opened on Kelowna’s St. Paul Street in November 2022, will give your body the care it deserves through preventive and detoxifying treatments. Gillies was a registered psychiatric nurse for more than a decade, so she brings a unique blend of clinical knowledge and a holistic approach to her practice, and wanted to create a space to focus on gut health, detox and self-care.

There are several ways in which Sona Wellness is able to improve your gut health and overall wellness. These include colon hydrotherapy, coffee enemas, infrared sauna and cold plunge contrast therapy, and state-of-the-art treatments like the Ballancer Pro, the only device in the Okanagan region offering true lymphatic drainage. Sona Wellness also carries a wide range of holistic and biohacking supplements to support gut health and overall well-being.

“Not only are we cleaning out your colon, so you’re going to feel lighter, but we actually can clean out some of that overgrowth of the bad bacteria that causes sugar cravings and bloating,” Gillies says.

It also provides programs for parasite and liver cleansing, aimed at eliminating toxins from food, the environment and other external sources.

Sona Wellness will be hosting a client appreciation night on Thursday, July 18, from 5-8 p.m., and Gillies is inviting everyone to come see what this new era of wellness is all about.

“Come try everything,” she says. “I have some pop-ups from local companies. I’m going to do some education on colonics, and chat about coffee enemas and the Happy Bum Co. products you can find exclusively at Sona. You can cold plunge for free, try the Ballancer Pro for free and check out the space. There’ll be food, snacks, giveaways and prizes. I'll also be doing my one day only discounts so you can save on your favourite treatments.”

For those seeking comprehensive care, Sona Wellness offers a 28- and 12-day detox programs, complete with meal plans, recipes and supplements, guided by Gillies’ expertise as a registered holistic nutritionist and psychiatric nurse. This program includes weekly sessions combining colonics, saunas and lymphatic treatments, each designed to support both physical and mental health.

Sona also offers programs specific to parasite and candida cleansing. These programs are designed for clients wanting to invest in more of a gut reset, in weight loss or are struggling to find solutions to their digestive health. Gillies guides her practice by the famous Hippocrates quote: “All disease begins in the gut.”
