Testimonials

I have been receiving healing and health counseling from Rasa for almost three years. Skilled in a variety of healing therapies, Rasa is one of the more eclectic healers I have experienced... she also is one of the best. All of the treatments I have received have greatly impacted my health and spirit in a positive way. Coupled with advise to maintain health, I continue down the path to whole and healthy living.

I came to you at a time when I was feeling very exasperated and a bit desperate in my search to figure out what was 'wrong' with me and why my physical health was in the state it was in. As a person who strives to be self reliant when it comes to my health, simply making the call for help in and of itself is always a challenge. From my first meeting with you I felt very comfortable, your presence was calming. You asked me detailed questions and listened carefully to my answers, inquiring even further into my responses in order to fully understand my symptoms. Your willingness to see me at your own home and to engage me in the search for answers empowered me to play an active role in my healing process. Even after I moved from Albuquerque, you continued to support me, patiently responding to each of my calls and emails, not only answering questions, but also just being available to listen. It is apparent that you approach your work from the heart and although our time together was brief, I feel that it was an important step in my healing journey. Which, by the way, is far from being finished and has expanded and divided in ways I could never have imagined, becoming what I feel may be the greatest blessing I have yet to receive.

You helped me a lot. Not just as a doctor, but as a friend.

As a doctor I think that you are marvelous. You are a very patient and a warm healer. Every time you gave me therapy, I felt great relief for a long time. The sad part is not having you closer.

Your hands are kind but firm, and you can feel right away that you have plenty of knowledge as you go thru every muscle or ligament. I was very lucky to have you near through that rough time.

I´m still amazed of your knowledge on all nutrition aspects, not just for the healthy meals that you use but for the healing part of it. You use seeds and fruits and food to heal, thats amazing.

I´m happy and thankfull to be one of your patients, but I´m proud to be your friend. So many thanks Rasa.

dr. lila has helped me tremendously. i have known her since she first started her practice her in Albuquerque, and so it has been amazing to watch her flourish and become an important healthcare provider in our community.

as for my own health and wholeness, she has greatly assisted me in my student stress and wellness, but also when i got diagnosed with an irreversible autoimmune disease quite suddenly. i can tell you that her treatments helped me not to only physically re-adjust and maintain balance, but also emotionally do so. my body, within weeks of diagnosis, was balancing in a way that even my solely western-trained doctors were impressed by. i directly attribute this to her herbal and homeopathic treatments, counseling skills, meditation exercises, and nutrition therapies. however, she is also excellent at understanding and utilizing an integrative approach, as i depend upon particular medicines that western medicine treats my particular disease with. i not only have great hope for my future health, but i can directly see the results everyday because of the help dr. lila has given me regarding naturopathic medicine's treatments for my disease.

she treats your body as one reaching for wholeness, her listening skills are incomparable with any physician i have yet to meet, and her heart and mind are in the right place to truly treat the patients she takes on as her own.

Before my accident I didn't hate but definitely disliked spiders, snakes and bears. This changed.

December 30th 2006, in Valle De Bravo, Mexico, I landed my paraglider in strong tailwind, tried to run rather than roll, and split the top of my shin bone into six pieces. The local surgeons rebuilt the knee the next morning with 9 screws and Mexican donor bone. (I'm 1% Mexican now)

Following the crash, Rasa, herself a pilot, assisted with the transport to the hospital two hours away. At one point our van slowed to a crawl. The driver apologized. The Monarch butterflies were out by the millions, partying in the warm air above the paved road. I was in no hurry, resting in the back. I was pain-free and listening to Rasa's stories about Burning Man.

The decision whether to do surgery in Mexico or New York was unclear going into the hospital. It became clear after an hour of Rasa's help that evening, one of the more memorable healing experiences of my life. Concentrating on the knee, we meditated. With closed eyes but present mind, I saw a black crow drop down to my injured knee and start to pick bone chips from the destroyed joint. The coils of a large snake wrapped around the leg, above and below the knee and held it in a firm grip. Two large mountain lions laid down on each side of my body. A brown bear licked the side of the knee. The top of the knee showed an open wound and hundreds of ants crawled inside. Finally I noticed the large desert spider at the wound. She formed silk and placed it inside the joint.

Everybody who hears this story is embarrassed - or laughs. Without exception, listeners ask about drugs. I wasn't on any. The knee was an unstable swollen tube with too many moving parts - but not painful. I hadn't asked for and not received medication.

When I opened my eyes, I knew an operation the following morning would be successful.

Rasa consulted on the physical therapy during my two weeks in the hospital and supervised a week of rehabilitation in Mexico. She put together a good diet and stuck me in a sweathut which I shared with the local Alcoholics Anonymous chapter.

By the end of the week, my legs were able to perform the first strokes on an exercise bicycle. That's the kind of experience that makes you want to sing opera. Five months later I returned to flying paragliders. I have a healthy and pain-free leg.

Spiders are the most regal of animals.

I feel graced in knowing Dr Rasa Lila is my doctor, paragliding instructor, at times my life coach and spiritual guide, and most importantly of all a true blue friend. I have always known she was a healer and for years now she has used her degree and her love of life to heal people not patients.

I have always gone to the doctor covered by my insurance and have found that most all my health conditions have been cured naturopathicaly by Dr. Lila’s treatments without having to get the prescriptions from my other doctor. This includes ulcerative colitis, hypoglycemia, severe back and neck problems, migraines, and more.

She has proven by healing me that it is undoubtedly in my best interest to pay out of pocket for natural treatment with a doctor who knows and cares àbout me. Thanks again Rasa!!!!

To whom it may concern,

I have known and valued Dr. Rasa Lila for over four years. She is compassionate, a great listener, professional and caring. During my most difficult time in life, having suffered an ANTERIOR ISCHEMIC OPTIC NEUROPTOPHY (sudden loss of vision), Dr.Lila exhibited care, comfort and dependable consistency in her visits to my house 25 miles from her practice. I truly can recommend Dr. Lila to other patients and to work well with other medical personnel in a clinical environment.

Dear Potential Patients,

On the subject of healing, Dr. Lila has effectively provided an herbal remedy for my asthma and another for my hay fever. She has joined with a professional rolfer to promote body healing and comfort and finally she has effectively used cold and hot herbal body compresses to help with extreme mixed moods.

Let me add that Dr. Rasa Lila has studied naturopathic medicine at perhaps the world's foremost clinic outside of Phoenix, AZ and that such study included the most disciplined and intense training available. I highly recommend her care and her work.

For a period of two years, I suffered from pain/numbness on my right arm. This uncomfortable sensation woke me up every night. With massage and Reiki it will subside and I was able to go back to sleep for a couple of hours when I would wake up again to face the same problem. In the morning, I woke up with my hand totally numbed and it would take some time until I could use it. During the day, the sensation was there at all times and activities like driving, ironing or working on the computer were painful and difficult. It got to the point where doing Reiki to myself became a challenge. Dr. Rasa Lila worked with me and through deep tissue massage, herbal medication and suggestions on life changes solved the problem. Today, almost two years later, I am free of that condition. I am really grateful to Dr.Lila and highly recommend her. She is committed to help you get better and gives her knowledge, compassion and total attention to attain that.

I had been trying to get pregnant for over a year with no results. My periods were too long (around 60 days) and I was feeling depleted, with very little energy, stressed and sad. I started to consult with Dr. Lila, over the phone since I live in Pennsylvania, and started feeling better right away. I was able to track my results, so I wasn’t stressed anymore. I felt empowered and proactive throughout the process. I also gained a lot of knowledge about my body and my self. My energy came back, my cycles got regular, I am feeling 100% better and of course: I also got pregnant! The best thing is that dealing with something like infertility, which is normally really stressful and depressing for most women, became a great journey of discovery for me!
