Our members go through rigorous checks including a DBS before they are added to our register. They must demonstrate suitable and recognised training and have extensive experience in a clinical setting from a medical or complementary practice. Furthermore, ARCH is the only Colonic Association recognised and regulated by the independent Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), the only government-backed regulator in the industry.
ARCH is run by members, for members, creating a dynamic community of support, education, promotion and interaction that drives our industry forward. ARCH therapists are kept up-to-date with the latest scientific and technical information, and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a prerequisite for membership renewal.
All ARCH members abide by our comprehensive code-of-practice which covers every aspect of the treatment, from the equipment used to the facilities available in the treatment room. Our members agree to maintain the highest standards of competency and care to ensure your safety, protect your dignity and provide a quality treatment experience.
ARCH has been setting standards in the practice and the training of Colon Hydrotherapy for over 35 years
