I'm Lilja : I was brought up in London, and as far as I can remember I've had an interest in complementary therapies, and asked a lot of questions. Western medicine didn't answer all my questions; for example I knew that my childhood eczema came back as soon as the steroid cream stopped- so obviously it wasn't actually treating the problem, just hiding it for a while.
Treatments are holistic, and individualised to you and your symptoms and history. I am an accredited member of the British Acupuncture Council, and abide by a code of ethics and safety. I always aim to treat your main presenting condition for noticeable results, while also addressing the underlying cause/causes of your problem for long lasting effects.
It usually involves burning a herb on top of the needles or holding a stick of burning moxa over the skin in certain areas to create warmth and movement, and to support the immune system. It may be used in areas of pain or stagnation, it may be used to expel coldness, support Yang, dry Dampness, or tonify Qi and Blood.
The second trimester is usually less troublesome but in clinic I might see pregnancy patients starting to get physical discomfort due to the growing bump; hip or pelvic pain, constipation or haemorrhoids, itching, thrush or sleep disruption. In the third trimester, we're heading towards pre-birth preparation- and studies have shown that regular pre-birth treatment from 36 weeks can reduce labour time and interventions.
Holistic treatment is about understanding that mind and body are fully interconnected, and it is essential to treat the whole person to restore equilibrium of both. I love getting to the root cause of an issue to get the best and most sustainable results.
Acupuncture is based on ancient traditions and philosophy and a different view of the body and its energetic functions, but now we can integrate this wisdom with new information and technology to get the best possible outcomes.I list a few conditions on this website but this is by no means exhaustive, so do get in touch to see if I can help your condition.

Lilja is a truly gifted acupuncturist. At a time when medical professionals were at a loss as to why I had a severe, itchy skin rash, Lilja managed to clear it in only a few sessions! After 5 months of antihistamines and steroids I felt very unwell and down. Lilja was caring and empathetic, taking the time to understand my health issues. I will be forever grateful and now see her regularly for a health MOT! I highly recommend seeing her for all manner of health issues.

My GP wanted to palm me off with pain killers for headaches, neck and shoulder pain. I wanted to resolve the issue rather than mask it so I went to Life is for Living Well.
I had instant relief of the headache and within weeks the neck and shoulder pain was completely gone. Lil provides a thorough health assessment and really tailors her treatment to your specific needs. So grateful for all her help.

Lilja creates a serene and welcoming environment and makes you feel completely at ease in her very capable hands. I found it so interesting learning what was happening in my body and how everything links up. The advice she gave me really helped maintain the changes beyond the treatment too. I've had lots of acupuncture before but nobody has been as thorough as Lilja who uses a range of hands on techniques as well as needling. Thank you Lilja for helping me :)
