“I found this amazing lady on google after being advised to get a lymphatic drainage massage, this is because i had water retention and swollen ankles from my long haul flight. I knew nothing about this but Ludmila explained everything to me. I noticed the results straight away, it was amazing. I went back for a second visit as i had some sort of allergy to my face and Ludmila done a bit of a mix up of lymphatic, reiki and acupuncture and WOW what a difference it made. I am going back on a regular basis and will maybe try other services that Ludmila provides. I highly recommend this lovely lady so if anyone has any problems they need treating or just a nice relaxing massage then Ludmila is your lady x”

“I booked in with Ludmila for a deep tissue massage a few of months ago, but on arriving and having a consultation with her she recommended shiatsu for me. I had no idea what shiatsu was but thought why not try something new. About five minutes into it I could tell something felt different and by the end of the massage I was in the deepest state of relaxation I have ever had and felt the most ‘balanced’ I had in months. I have now been for 3 shiatsu massages with her and each one has benefited my wellbeing so much. She is a very gifted lady who makes you feel in the safest hands and has also offered me tips for ‘rebalancing’ day to day that have been very powerful.”

“I had two reflexology sessions and one shiatsu with Ludmila. I can honestly say that I have never had such instantly, effective holistic therapy in my life! I love reflexology and have had lots of it off various therapists but this was on another level. After reflexology/Shiatsu with Ludmila I slept so deeply and was full of energy the next day. Hadn’t felt like that for months.
Katie Ramsey on Reflexology and Shiatsu sessions
She is also a very nurturing and caring person, just being around her makes me feel calm and at ease. She listens to exactly what you want out of the session and goes with that. If you can do one positive thing for yourself today, make an appointment with help, you will be so pleased you did.”

“Ludmila’s Shiatsu massages are amazing. Even for a 65 year-old, I was in poor shape when I first went to see Ludmila. In recent months I had suffered a hospital stay for sepsis and two bouts of bronchitis, leaving me with a persistent cough. My energy level was at an all time low, and in particular my breathing was laboured. Even routine activities were hard work. Frankly, I felt terrible and was not especially optimistic that Ludmila would be able to help me. However, after a few sessions of Shiatsu massage therapy my breathing became noticeably easier; my cough gradually disappeared. Earlier this week, I completed a twenty-mile cycle ride. Ludmila is expert in what she does. I am happy to have seen objective improvements in my health.”

“This was my first Shiatsu Massage and reflexology session. I found it incredibly relaxing as well as relieving toe joint pain and assisting with relief for a trapped nerve in my shoulder. I found that the exercises recommended by the therapist for my trapped nerve have been easier to follow and more effective than those recommended by a Physiotherapist who had previously treated my shoulder. The therapist was thoroughly welcoming and professional and I would highly recommend her.”

“I had been looking for someone who could help with tightness and misalignment I get due to a lot of cardio and not enough stretching over the years. More recently, these ongoing issues have got worse as my stress levels have also taken a toll on my body. I have been dealing with moving back to the area from the States, the death of my mother and a divorce. I have now had two sessions with Ludmila and wish I could have one every day! I immediately felt the benefits – my shoulders were straight again, I slept much better and overall, felt looser. I am really happy having found Ludmila and have already booked an ongoing weekly slot. I would highly recommend.”

“Knew I had problems after a knee Op 3yrs earlier. Ludmila listened & started to unravel the many problems I had all caused from my flat feet. Leaving me with exercises most weeks to complement her treatment sessions. It all made sense as she unravelled and then started to rebuild me. As the weeks have gone by my physical capabilities have improved & things I thought “ well that’s just my age and get use to it !” Have been turned on its head with my mobility of feet, knees and hips improving week on week, Alternative Therapy at its best you will not be disappointed. Many thanks Ludmila 😉”

“Ludmila is a a master at her craft. Insightful, intuitive and highly skilled. By the end of the shiatsu treatment I felt lighter and no longer had tension in my shoulders and knee. I have been to a number of therapists over the years and Ludmila is one of the very best. Highly recommended.”

“I was a total skeptic about this being able to work but I gave it the fairest crack of the whip; phone off, quiet room, no distractions.It was easily the most amazing journey I have ever seen in my minds eye – like downloading relief almost. The beautiful colours and images and physical feelings (how do you do that when we are not even in the same village?!) have astounded me.
I’m in bed sick at the moment (not covid thankfully) and that brief session has really brightened me up. I feel better already. To anyone reading this, particularly anyone feeling a bit low, I can’t recommend this enough. I have no idea how it works, but it does!!”

“Following a recent bereavement my daughter recommended Esperanza Holistics to me. I can honestly say Ludmila has made me feel like a new person. All my aches, pains and stress have disappeared . She is a wonderful person who looks after her clients from head to toe. I would thoroughly recommend her to everyone.“

“Thank you for an amazing journey. I am having reflexology to support my Type 1 Diabetes regime. Since starting session I have been reducing insulin with food. Now 1 unit per meal from 8 units! I look forward to my sessions and would recommend buying Ludmila’s treatments for friends and family.”
Dawn on Reflexology
“You know I trust you implicitly but I have to admit I wasn’t sure I’d notice any changes or benefits from it…..boy was I wrong!!!! We certainly worked on elimination!
E.G. on Self Shiatsu Supervision Session
It was a really fun session and I liked that I got to understand more the treatment I’ve been having with you for some months. I feel so energised, light and enthusiastic after our session! Thank you so, so much!”
L.T. on Deep Tissue Massage
“If you are in need of deep tissue massage and complete relaxation, then I recommend visiting Ludmila. I’d been travelling to the USA and had come back with a painful neck and shoulder. Ludmila worked her magic and I was pain free in 24 hours…highly recommended.”
“I had the special 2 hour treatment the last time I came and it was absolutely amazing. I had reflexology, back massage, Indian Head Massage and the facial massage (which I am sure made me look 10 years younger).”
Avril on Esperanza 2 hour Tailored Treatment
“West Kirby’s best kept secret – left feeling as if I was floating on air.”

“Fantastic facial massage today. Very relaxing after a stressful week. Ludmila is always so calming, and never rushes, allowing time for you to really appreciate the time spent here.”
Kathy on Facial massage
“This is my first experience of reflexology and I am truly amazed at the effect it had. My neck and shoulder pain disappeared immediately and I gained significant movement. Ludmila is professional, very knowledgeable and relaxing. The massage is also enjoyable and effective. Thank you.”
