  I went to healing light family acupuncture for a very special treatment. Tina creates a sacred space and taps intuitively in, uses a pendulum to confirm and uses the needles... read more for esoteric acupuncture.

  I have taken my step son when he got into a car accident and he felt so much better same day. I finally made it in myself and took my... read more 4.5 yr old. Mukunda was fantastic with both of us!! Can't say enough good things!

  So grateful to Mukunda and Healing Light Family Acupuncture! I found myself at their office last Spring due to fertility issues.  Having had a miscarriage followed by an ectopic pregnancy,... read more combined with issues getting pregnant to begin with, a friend recommended I try acupuncture and referred me to Healing Light in particular.  I was so impressed with their thoroughness and approach to my situation.  I sat down for an hour with Tina for a one-on-one consultation, and went over the full history of my fertility journey (something most fertility doctors generally rush you through!). She was thoughtful and gave me great advice while truly listening to the specifics of my situation with fertility and overall health history.  Then her and Mukunda put together a customized treatment plan for me, covering everything from diet to de-stressing techniques as well as suggested supplements.  I discovered that there was so much I could change about my daily routine that would boost my fertility, and began making changes immediately.  Based on the specifics of my ectopic surgery, my husband and I decided that we wanted to proceed with IVF regardless, so the team at Healing Light worked this into our plan.  I began seeing Mukunda for treatments weekly and changing diet/lifestyle habits in preparation for my egg retrieval.  

I am happy to report that I am currently pregnant and in my second trimester!  I credit so much of the success of my IVF journey to Healing Light and Mukunda's treatments.  They were an integral part of this success, and sincerely helped me feel cared for and nurtured during the egg retrieval process, as well as supported and confident during the transfer and early pregnancy.  As someone who has endured the heartbreak of multiple pregnancy losses, it's very common to feel like something is just out of balance in your body-- that you need more support-- and it's a scary place.  I would recommend acupuncture to any person who finds themselves in this place-- and more specifically, I'd recommend Mukunda.  I finally felt like someone was able to help me achieve a deep sense of balance that I was lacking in my often frustrating fertility struggles prior.  What was once a disheartening and embarrassing reality became a balanced, positive and hopeful outlook-- and I credit so much of that to my treatments.  After discussing details of my acupuncture treatment plan with other friends who are simultaneously incorporating acupuncture (at different practices) with fertility treatments, I really noticed that the thoroughness of Healing Light and the approach they take to fertility in particular goes above and beyond what my friends have described.  

In addition, I find that I sleep better and have a greater sense of calm and wellbeing when undergoing acupuncture treatments.  These were all vital ingredients to my weekly routine.  I am so grateful to Mukunda for his expertise and gentle guidance, as well as the whole staff at Healing Light for their professionalism and warmth throughout this entire process.  I highly recommend!!!

  I saw Tina my last 3 months of pregnancy to alleviate extreme back pain and other common symptoms that were more intense for my third pregnancy. I instantly felt comfortable... read more and connected to Tina from our first session. She has such a calm, positive demeanor that I gravitated towards her presence. I enjoyed her opening meditations and prayers which left me feeling assured and supported. I could barley walk into my sessions, and left each time able to walk again without tension. My heartburn and headaches lessened as well. And most importantly I had the most beautiful, fast, natural child birth which I really do contribute much to Accupuncture! Thank you Tina

  I have been visited Mukunda for about six months so far. I enjoyed my treatments here because Mukunda helps me to relax and destress so much.

I had 3 unexplained... read more early miscarriages. Every doctor I visited told me that I am normal because all the test results fall in the normal range. And they rejected to do anything further for me. Mukunda is the only one who told me that there could be a gap between textbook normal range and clinical practical numbers. He really listens to every single word I said carefully, and writes them down. He also gave me many helpful suggestions and advices, and always answers my questions patiently .

During these six months of visits, I realize how knowledgeable he is in both western medicine and natural remedy fields. He gives me a lot of confidence, which is very important when you are TTC.

I'm still not pregnant yet. But my periods got regulated, and I can see the improvements in my body both physically and psychologically. I will update once I have a good news.

  When I called for pricing, the man on the phone said it was $170. I told him I couldn't afford that so he said he would do it for $100.... read more So I agreed to that and made an appointment. I've been to LOTS of acupuncturists but was interested in esoteric acupuncture. The treatment was not helpful at all, I felt just as sick as I had before I came in and was too out of it to notice he charged me $170. I did see the charge when I got home and emailed about it. No response. Left a message. No response. Then they texted me to see if I'd like to make another appointment and I replied, saying they overcharged me. STILL NO RESPONSE. The unprofessionalism of this place is staggering. If you're in O.C. and want good, inexpensive acupuncture, check out South Baylo University. It's a no frills, no aromatherapy type clinic but they're very thorough and helpful AND IT'S ONLY $25.

  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!

  I would like to share my experience with Mukunda services. I went in because I was having some stiff pelvic issues due to a miscarriage I had 3 years ago.... read more I felt throughout the years it was getting progressively worse. After our first session, I noticed something had changed. I went ahead and signed up for several sessions ahead of time. I am also working on my weight and have noticed it has decreased my body fat. What happens in the session is amazing to me. I am super excited about these new changes inside and outside of my body.
