I recently sought help from Liliya after a hard school semester and busy work schedule which resulted in nerve pain around an area where I have previously had shingles. Undoubtedly my body and mind were in high stress mode and I was NOT bouncing back well on my own. Her pre- appointment paperwork/ medical history paper work was thorough, provided to me via email prior to the appointment, and was easy to fill out and return online. My first treatment was so relaxing, so needed, and included a few of those feelings that only acupuncture can give you; such as when a swoosh of energy that feels like a cloud races out one particular needle point. Needless to say, 2 days after my excruciating nerve pain had subsided completely. Thank goodness! I had a follow up appointment one week later which was focus more on my overall wellness since my pain had subsided. It included a good amount oh-so-relaxing body work, followed by cupping all over my trapezius and shoulders (this released so much tension), and then the acupuncture treatment. It was first of all the most varied modality treatment I have have received from one practitioner, and second of all the most holistically beneficial appointment I have ever been too! She was also able to see me outside of her hours posted on yelp for the second appointment which was so nice. I can easily give my highest recommendation of Lilya to anyone who is seeking wellness and recovery from an ailment as she is a 5 star helper of healing in the Bolinas community. read more
