Passionate, qualified and dedicated to ensuring their clients feel the best they can, the team at Authentix Beauty and Wellness Clinic in Braddon makes their clients feel beautiful from the inside out.

“I believe empowering someone to feel confident and happy with their body will flow into their lifestyle,” says Shahnee Jewel, owner and managing director.

Having operated in the ACT for over 10 years, Authentix offers all the traditional hair-scaping options, specialising in all-gender Brazilian waxing. They pride themselves on their lash and brow services and designing techniques. But what sets Authentix apart is their dedication to holistic wellbeing, offering Canberra’s first closed system colon hydrotherapy service.

Better known as a colonic, warm water is used to flush the colon and remove toxins and waste that may be causing us to feel sluggish, fatigued or dealing with brain fog. Although some may find the idea uncomfortable, the team ensures that clients feel at ease, and any initial awkwardness is far outweighed by the benefits. With over two decades of experience in Colon Hydrotherapy, Shahnee is well-versed in its benefits.

“We’ve seen so many amazing benefits with colonics, from helping with depression, anxiety fertility… A healthy gut should have around 2kg of good bacteria to be able to digest food properly. Most of our guts, especially with stress and processed foods, have approx. 800gms!” she says.

Their infrared sauna uses technology that eliminates the heavy air of steam saunas, essentially warming the client rather than the environment. The process aids with skin problems, sleep and weight issues and aids in faster muscle and cellular recovery.

“When we incorporate the sauna with colon hydrotherapy, an internal detoxing process has begun. We have the added advantage to follow the sauna with a colonic which will help to flush out those moving toxins and rehydrate the body.”

After searching high and low for five years Ms Jewel was after a more natural approach to skin lightening, one without harmful bleach effects. Using the BRYGHT lightening system, you can lighten dark patches without compromising your skin.

“Most women have an area on our body that we’re not comfortable with, the more we can talk about it and make ourselves feel more comfortable with the bodies that we have, the more we can come to accept and love ourselves,” says Shahnee.
