Life is for Living Well Acupuncture –
North Shields, Cullercoats, North Tyneside
Personalised acupuncture, with a gentle, individual approach
Hello, you have found Life is for Living Well Acupuncture, a welcoming acupuncture practice based in North Shields, and serving people across North Tyneside and the wider North East.
I'm Lilja Katanka, a degree-qualified and accredited acupuncturist with over 18 years of clinical experience.
I offer safe and effective treatments from my cosy healing space in Cullercoats .
I specialise in personalised NeoClassical acupuncture; an approach that often achieves meaningful treatment results using very few needles, sometimes even just one.
For those who prefer not to have needles, I also offer laser acupuncture as a needle-free alternative where appropriate.
As part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture offers a holistic approach to restoring and maintaining health. I aim to address the root cause of your condition while relieving symptoms to provide you with quick and long-lasting results.
Acupuncture and TCM helped me recover from glandular fever and address recurring skin issues, so I know first-hand that it works!
I have practised acupuncture for over 18 years, treating a wide range of conditions, from mental health to back pain, fertility struggles to insomnia, with great results.
Every appointment begins with listening carefully to your concerns, understanding your health history and developing an approach that is appropriate for you.
If you're looking for an experienced, caring acupuncturist in North Shields, Cullercoats, Tynemouth or Whitley Bay, I'd be delighted to hear from you.
As a degree-qualified practitioner and an accredited member of the Association of Acupuncture Clinicians (formerly the BAA), I continue to develop and refine my treatment style through ongoing training and study in various styles and specialisms, so you can be assured of a safe and effective treatment.
What is acupuncture?
From treating pain and injuries to supporting chronic conditions, as well as mental health and fertility, acupuncture helps you regain balance.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of needles under the skin in specific locations to stimulate the body's own healing mechanisms. In Traditional Chinese Medicine terms, we use the needles to access points on the meridian system to encourage the smooth flow of blood and Qi (often translated as Energy). When this flow is obstructed or in disharmony, pain and disease occur, so restoring healthy circulation of Qi and blood helps restore equilibrium throughout the body. There are many different styles of acupuncture, including the Neo-Classical Style, Scalp Acupuncture, and Laser Acupuncture.
