âTina and Mukunda and not only amazing acupuncturists, they are absolutely the most genuinely nice and caring people I have ever known. When I first started seeing them, it was mainly for stress and anxiety as well as doing fertility treatments. I am so happy to say that now I am no longer in need of anxiety medication and I am pregnant! My first trimester started out very rough with terrible morning sickness but as soon as I started seeing them again, my morning sickness has almost completely diminished. I am so thankful that they came into my life because not only am I feeling better in multiple ways, my family is expecting a new baby and I have gained two new wonderful friends.â

âI have been treated by Mukunda and I am very happy with the results. In addition to being excellent at acupuncture I found Mukunda to have a very personal and gentle manner. He is very intuitive and knowledgeable. I have recommended Mukunda to many of my friends and recommend him highly to you!â

âI have quite the history with pregnancy loss and early delivery with my son. Tina was my birth doula and was able to help me remove the blocks and negativity I had associated with my first pregnancy through our theta sessions. I was given daily affirmations to recite and even mantras of protection for my baby and me. I was very grateful she was able to help me enjoy this pregnancy more. During labor, my baby was âsunny side upâ (facing up instead of down) which causes extreme back pain. Tina was able to use acupuncture and her healing touch to take that pain away. I felt very comforted by having her there with me for my second birth.â

Healing Light Family Acupuncture provides excellent care. Â I was treated by Tina, who has a lovely, caring heart. Â She is knowledgeable and highly skilled. Â I have gone to many acupuncturists... read more over the years and Tina's treatment was the best I have received. Â If you are considering acupuncture for the first time, I highly recommend Tina!

1/26/2023Tina and her husband Makunda are absolute Godsends! I had been suffering recently from miserable vertigo that had lasted over a week. I was at my wits end! Dr. Makunda... read more fit me in asap and was so sensitive to my situation. He listened to me and treated me with the upmost care.

12/02/2022Dr. Makunda has been with us through our entire fertility journey. We took a brake during our first two FET transfers (which was probably a mistake) but for our 3rd... read more transfer we opted to try their pre and post transfer acupuncture service. We are now 15 weeks pregnant and think we owe Healing  Light and Dr Makunda a lot of the credit! Â
Not only are their offices comfortable but Dr Makunda is so welcoming and really invested in your success. Â So glad I found this place and hopefully this will help others find it as well!Amanda W.
7/01/2022So over due but I'm so excited to share my experience with Tina and Makunda! I came to them in Spring of 2020 to prep for mini IVF. I saw... read more either Tina or Makunda twice a week for a couple months leading up to my retrieval in June, let my body rest from ivf but continued twice weekly acupuncture appointments biweekly and then in October 2020 I did acupuncture the day before and the day of transfer right after. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. They are so skilled and knowledgeable about the fertility treatment process and they show so much love and understanding for the emotions that come with that journey. They supported me, encouraged me, prayed for me, kept me calm. Tina would pray with me every appointment and I could feel my stress just melt away. She helped my mindset stay in a rational but positive place. It was like my therapy for mind body and soul. My transfer was successful on the first try! Â And I continued to see Makunda once a week in the first trimester just to ease any symptoms and keep the pregnancy strong. I was pretty amazed my 1st trimester nausea was manageable! My pregnancy was such a dream come true experience and I felt amazing with minimal discomfort. Also Makunda was able to get my labor started naturally with a special treatment when I was 41 weeks and 5 days so no hospital induction was necessary. Labor was quick and my little girl was born so healthy and im feeling great at almost a year postpartum. If you need fertility, pregnancy or postpartum support they are the team you need on your side!!

5/21/2022I have been accompanying my wife since January 2022. From the very first time that we went for a consultation with Mukunda we were shown nothing but genuineness and empathy... read more for what led us to seek out acupuncture and help adding one more baby to complete our family. His eagerness to help was comforting. With weekly acupuncture sessions geared to support my wife's cycle. We experienced amazing results and in October found out we were pregnant. With every weekly visit the positivity that Mukunda radiates has been so helpful & comforting. Mukunda and his wife Tina have been a huge support system and have wanted to see us succeed. We could not be where we are now without them. Now entering our second trimester with a healthy baby and smooth pregnancy so far, we are looking forward to their support and treatments for the duration of our pregnancy & postpartum. We feel we've gained friends along the way & that's amazing. Thank you Healing Light Acupuncture

12/22/202210/10 RECOMMENDED !!!! I have been a patient of Tina's since we first met as neighbors. I had always wanted to utilize acupuncture to treat my chronic conditions "occipital neuralgia... read more and lower back pain onset of my monthly cycle". After every treatment I feel absolutely rejuvenated! Tina is not only a skilled acupuncturists, but she poses the natural healing abilities. Words cannot describe the positive energy that I feel in her presence. She is strong, gifted, and truly heals the mind, body, and spirit. She is extremely respectful and professional while making it feel like you're welcome in her space and heart. I truly wish I could put into words how much I appreciate this family. They are a one of a kind powerhouse of healing. Anyone can learn to practice healing remedies and styles, but they have the natural given gift of healing. Booking with them is booking a friend for life
