  • What People Are Saying

    Lijana has helped me tremendously. It has taken time as my body has needed to detox and then get used to healthier alternatives to "modern" medicines. She has been patient with my "unique" body - embracing the way it works. Her process is similar to that of a medical physician as she asks about physical and mental health to aid in her analysis of what can be done. It's incredible to see her work as she incorporates so many chi points into different aspects of the session. Apart from her knowledge of acupuncture (which always impresses me), she is also one of the smartest people I know. There is always a new book that she recommends or references. I enjoy seeing her and setting aside that hour a week to relax!

    The knowledge that Lijana has kindly imparted on our family and friends belies that of someone well beyond her years. As far as I know, Lijana spends all of her time working, with family or studying. Her professionalism and dedication to the study of acupuncture is something I have always been in awe of. Lijana has treated me for everything from trapped nerves to food sensitivities and stress, and always in the most calming and supportive manner possible. Simply put, Lijana is the best of the best. If you are reading this review, go and see her. She is absolutely what you are searching for. I wish her every success with her new venture. Her continual hard work and dedication to the health of her clients deserves it.
