A Brief History

First students were trained by Galina Imrie in 2004. Till 2006 the College trained individual post-graduate students, mainly in Colon Hydrotherapy, on the basis of internship. At the beginning of 2006 we were approached by Fortina Hotels and Spas in Malta to train a group of beauty and massage therapists in Colon Hydrotherapy for a new Detoxification Spa that was being built in their flagship Fortina Spa Resort in Sliema.

This was a beginning of a new exiting stage in the history of our college. We had our courses approved by I-ACT, the largest self-regulatory body for colon hydrotherapists, and by the CMA, the largest organization for complementary medicine practitioners in the world.

Since then, we have trained on-site and off-site over 200 therapists, who are now working in around 60 locations in the UK and 15 locations around the world. We have been writing new courses and improving our existing courses, to meet educational and continuing professional development demands of our former and future students.
