Conditions We Treat

  I have been meaning to do this review for a long time.
Fantastic service and people. I am always treated like family. They are on the expensive side for me,... read more but have always given me a lot for the money. I have a very physical business, so I go here for real relief when I get into serious pain. I also did a reiki class thru them. It was a really neat experience. They are also just interesting to be around. Very grounded n positive. Thank you Makunda and family

  I was referred to Healing Light by my mother, who heard about Healing Light from a friend. What is more trust worthy then a referral from mom?!  I'm happy I... read more took her advice! Mukunda and his staff are very compassionate and welcoming. This is my first time doing acupuncture regularly, and I had tons of questions before and during the sessions. Mukunda has answers every time and his bedside manner makes it easy to relax and trust the process. I encountered a sad situation early on with my visits and both Mukunda and Tina listened to me as if they knew me for a while, I appreciated that. So far, acupuncture helps with anxiety and stress! The hours are accommodating and scheduling is easy. I will come back and post updated results with the time comes.

  This place is incredible. I've been going throughout my pregnancy and seeing Tina. I was experiencing a lot of nausea and low energy and sadness in my first trimester and... read more after my sessions I feel like myself again. I can literally feel the stuck energy moving through me during my sessions, it's miraculous! AND! The last time I went I was having a lot of low right side back and hip pain and when I left my pain was completely gone. Tina is so knowledgeable and caring and my sessions are so relaxing and rejuvenating! This place is every pregnant woman's dream. Do yourself a favor a go here for your weekly self-care! It's amazing and I feel so calm and relaxed throughout the week after as well! Thank you Healing Light!!

  The best there is! I sought out Healing Light after learning about my baby being breech at 36 weeks. I was so stressed out and panicked! Mukunda was very personable... read more and his funny stories took my mind off of a possible c-section. I bought the pregnancy package and we did the moxibustion and acupuncture twice a week. My baby was incredibly stubborn and refused to flip...even after an ECV. There is a happy ending to the story, I switched care to Dr. Kenneth Chan who delivers at Long Beach Memorial and was able to have a med free vaginal breech birth! My labor was only 4 hours from first contraction to baby being born and I attribute that to the acupuncture treatments. After I had my baby I went in for a treatment due to insomnia (I also was treated for insomnia during pregnancy and would get such good sleep after our sessions) and I finally was able to sleep after being up for almost 3 days straight!! I'm so thankful I searched Yelp and found Healing Light! I was seeing another acupuncturist before this and didn't really notice much of a difference but I definitely could tell that whatever Mukunda did worked!!

  I went to see Tina for bladder pain because of interstitial cystitis and after 2 sessions in conjunction with pelvic floor physical therapy my pain is under control! Highly recommend!

  I'm so happy I crossed paths with healing light. I went to acupuncture for PCOS and it has helped me so much. The whole team has amazing energy, I'm sad... read more that I can't go there anymore due to my insurance being out of network. I highly recommend going here.

  I went in for accupunture with Makunda this past Friday at 38.1 days pregnant because my baby girl was in the breech position. I also did the Moxibustion as instructed... read more at home and did tons of walking.This morning at my doctor's appointment, she is head down!! On top of it being a successful experience, it was also extremely relaxing. I got to rest and connect with baby during session. Thank you!!

  My Background: 1 healthy child born in 2016, extremely low AMH, 33 years old, recurrent pregnancy loss (2 miscarriages in 1 year), slight thyroid imbalance.

I found Mukunda through my... read more OB (Dr. Howe) and started seeing him to help deal with the emotions/hormones that I experienced through my miscarriages. I began to see a change in my ability to respond to negative situations and cope. When I found myself unexpectedly pregnant in October, I started seeing him weekly (starting at 4w). I am more than happy to report that I am officially 12 weeks pregnant and we have a healthy baby (genetic testing came back clear). Acupuncture & Mukunda's kind, warm, positive spirit have made a huge impact on this pregnancy. Not only is he wonderful, but his staff is attentive and kind. I always feel appreciated when I am there and I know that they always have my best interests in mind. If you are considering acupuncture for fertility, Mukunda is amazing and will help you ease your mind about the whole process.

Thank you, Healing Light & Mukunda!

  This is my second time getting acupuncture. We went when we passed our due date and our doc was discussing medical induction. I had read about the research behind it... read more and wanted to give it a try. We had 2 sessions at 40w (Friday ) and 40w3days (Monday) . We did our homework width the pressure points and essential oils. We went to the beach, took relaxing walks. I started feeling contractions Tuesday night for 6 hours but they stopped. Wed the doc told us I was constantly having contractions but neither the baby's head was engaged (even though head down in the right way) nor was I dilated beyond 1cm. Thu afternoon we started having more regular contractions, I knew I was still High, we did the abdominal tuck position and Walchers position at home. We had a successful Vbac in the hospital with minimal induction and good progression of dilation, 9cm in 12 hours. This was incredible since my first was a csection because after 30 hours I hadn't dilated even after induction.  It was 32 hours from the start of contractions until I delivered but it was a vbac that I very much wanted! I do think those pressure points work! I'm grateful to have found Mukunda who conducted the sessions and has a very peaceful presence. And thank you for the recommendation of those essential oils, we employed them during labor and it was very relaxing. Thank u for helping me achieve my birth plan!
