Lilja Katanka: Life Is For Living Well

After trying many other treatments for my shoulder including physio, chiropractors, sports massages, nothing helped. Lil did a one needle treatment on me and the pain disappeared for the first time in years. I went in a bit cynical to be honest but open to trying and I was blown away by her professionalism and how well the treatment worked.

It was Amazing I have been walking like a cripple for 3 weeks I thought I sprained my ankle. Lilja diagnosed an Achilles tendon problem She applied a needle for 3 days and I am virtually as good as new. Stephen.

Lilja treated me for sciatica pain that I had been suffering with for months. I had tried multiple sports massages which although gave relief, they didn’t cure. A friend suggested I tried acupuncture and I came across Lilja. I can’t believe than in only 2 treatments the pain had completely gone, as if it was never there in the first place! Lilja was very thorough, discussing my aches and pains as well as my moods and emotions - all the things that impacted how my body was feeling. She was the perfect mix of informative, explaining what she was doing and how the treatment works, as well as leaving me to relax and unwind. I have already recommended her to a few friends and will point anyone suffering with sciatica in her direction!

Lilja is just amazing and keeps me moving whilst also sorting out many more ailments inc my digestion and ear issues. My wife also thinks she is just the best! Highly recommended.

Lilja at the little escape has sorted out my elbow and my back a few times when I injured it with work. The treatment was surprisingly relaxing too although I am a bit of a wuss when it comes to needles! I think I even fell asleep at one point…! She is very down to earth but gets to the bottom of the problem.

Being treated by Lilja and her amazing needles, just like being touched by the wings of angels! I suffer from arthritis and anxiety and have been receiving ongoing treatment from Lilja for over a year, what a difference she has made to my life. The pain has become manageable without painkillers and I am always left with a feeling of well being for weeks after my treatment.

Lilja gave a very good treatment I hobbled on to her couch and left the treatment room walking properly a win in all columns.

I went to Lilja to see if she could use accupuncture to help me get pregnant - all it took was 6 sessions, and now I have a beautiful baby girl! Lilja is a very kind and thoughtful practitioner, and takes a genuine interest in your wellbeing, not just focussing on one specific area, but looking at your body as a whole. Even though I really hate needles, Lilja made the process very manageable for me, and I really do believe in the massive benefits of accupuncture. (Thousands of years of use in Chinese medicine can't be wrong. I'd recommend Lilja wholeheartedly to anyone.

I went to lilja after experiencing a wide variety of unexplained symptoms relating to stress and anxiety, the worst of these symptoms was a feeling of breathing badly/not being able to take a deep breath. My life and well being were being badly affected by this and after seeing numerous doctors and undergoing a mountain of tests I decided to seek out treatment on my own. I had sessions with Lilja over several months, Lilja was very supportive and understanding and it was great to speak to someone who took a genuine interest in my well being. At the start of each session she discussed my progress thoroughly and tailored the session to my needs. I would highly recommend Lilja to anyone considering acupuncture or anyone who feels they need an alternative to treatments they have already tried. I've gone from being slightly skeptical about Acupuncture to being absolutely convinced of its benefits. Thank you Lilja!

In all my sessions with Lilja I received an excellent quality of care that greatly benefited my sense of well-being and overall health. Over several months, Lilja's acupuncture supported my body to allow me to conceive naturally and enjoy a healthy pregnancy. Lilja's approach is wonderfully calming and holistic - I recommend her highly.

Lilja helped me so much in 2010/2011 when I was suffering from repeated sinus infections and severe TMJ (jaw joint) and facial nerve pain, among various other disorders. After a few sessions the pain was completely resolved and I have had no further sinus infections, plus my immunity was boosted to the extent that I did not catch the flu virus last winter (which was a first for me). Lilja is an excellent practitioner who is very thorough and dedicated to achieving the best results - I will always return to her for treatment when needed. AB West Molesey.

I had some acupuncture sessions with Lilja following some infertility issues, baby loss and IVF treatments. There were moments of stress and disillusion, but the treatments definitely helped me stay more relaxed and optimistic and helped my body find a balance. I am currently almost 8 months pregnant. I can only highly recommend Lilja!

Lilja is really thorough in her treatment and shows a great care for the patient's problem as well as a genuine understanding for one's complicated difficulties that western medicine often immediately label as chimeras.

You owe it to yourself to get acupuncture treatment with Lilja! Lilja has treated me for years, sometimes for specific problems (cystitis,shingles,shoulder pain) and sometimes just when I need a boost physically or emotionally. I always come away from the treatments feeling calm, refreshed and positive. This is due not only to Lilja’s skills as an acupuncturist but also to her natural ability to put people at ease and understand them. I would highly recommend getting acupuncture treatment with Lilja. Not only will your body feel the benefits of her wisdom but you will also get to meet a truly inspirational person too!

I received a course of acupuncture from Lilja mainly to combat stress and tension in my neck and shoulders. The quality of service was high and the environment was calm and welcoming. There has been a definite and noticeable improvement in my overall sense of well being; I have found it easier to unwind after a stressful day at work and the uncomfortable tension in my shoulders was noticeably relieved whilst having the acupuncture and for some time afterwards. The tension has since come back so I am consindering another course for this and as a possible course of treatment for a skin allergy. Would highly recommend!
