Ready to experience complete wellness? We specialize in treating a variety of conditions that can significantly impact your quality of life. Among the most common issues our patients seek relief from are insomnia, anxiety, and pain. Using the ancient practice of acupuncture, we provide natural, effective solutions to help you regain control over your health and well-being.
Insomnia
Struggling to get a good night’s sleep? Sleep deprivation is no joke. If there is one thing that can ruin your health, your relationships and your career, it is the inadequate amount of time you spend in REM and deep sleep every night. We resolve chronic and stubborn insomnia using a combination of safe and effective modalities such as acupuncture, ozone therapy and ATP bio-resonance therapy.
Great sleep is a biological necessity, not a luxury or a sign of laziness.
At Luna Body + Mind, we are dedicated to optimizing your sleep so that you can be fully present in your life.
Benefits of Acupuncture for Insomnia:
- Improved sleep quality and duration
- Reduced nighttime awakenings
- Increased energy and focus during the day
- Enhanced overall well-being
Anxiety
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety? Anxiety can manifest in many ways, from constant worry and tension to physical symptoms like a racing heart and shortness of breath. Acupuncture offers a holistic approach to managing anxiety by addressing both the mind and body.
How Acupuncture Helps:
- Regulates Neurotransmitters: Acupuncture influences the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which play a key role in mood regulation. This helps to alleviate feelings of anxiety and promote a sense of calm.
- Lowers Stress Hormones: Chronic anxiety often leads to elevated levels of stress hormones like cortisol. Acupuncture helps to lower these levels, reducing the physical and emotional symptoms of anxiety.
- Promotes Relaxation: By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the “rest and digest” response. This helps to counteract the “fight or flight” response that is often triggered by anxiety.
Benefits of Acupuncture for Anxiety:
- Reduced feelings of worry and tension
- Improved mood and emotional stability
- Relief from physical symptoms of anxiety
- Greater resilience to stress
Acute and Chronic Pain
Living with chronic pain? Whether it’s back pain, migraines, arthritis, or any other form of chronic discomfort, pain can greatly diminish your quality of life. Acupuncture is a proven method for pain relief, helping you to manage symptoms and regain mobility without relying on medication.
How Acupuncture Helps:
- Stimulates Natural Pain Relief: Acupuncture triggers the release of endorphins, enkephalins, and other neuro-transmitters, which are the body’s natural painkillers, providing relief from both acute and chronic pain.
- Reduces Inflammation: Acupuncture reduces inflammation markers in the body, helping to alleviate pain and promote healing.
- Improves Circulation: By increasing blood flow to affected areas, acupuncture helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues, accelerating recovery and reducing pain.
- Repairs Tissue: Acupuncture with electro-stimulation has been shown to release pluripotent stem cells that can differentiate into any type of cells and regrow damage cartilage, bone and muscle or ligament over the course of treatment.
Benefits of Acupuncture for Pain Relief:
- Effective relief from chronic pain conditions
- Reduced reliance on pain medications
- Improved mobility and function
- Enhanced quality of life

Lola has been my acupuncturist for over 10 years, and I can’t say enough great things about her. She is passionate about her work, and an absolute best at what she does. Lola is knowledgeable, friendly, doesn’t mind explaining her treatment plan in detail, and answer every question; her treatments are painless, and she truly cares about her patients.

Stop what your doing ! and make an appointment! This was my first acupuncture experience and I feel amazing. I’ve been working over time the past few weeks and I have trouble sleeping from the work and stress. My friend recommended me here, I did a quick stress relief acupuncture and a cupping session for my back. Did wonders ! Parking was easy , staff is really friendly and knowledgeable. The space is beautiful and clean I felt very relaxed. Would recommend.

I was recommended to come here by a friend for my treatment today and oh was I surprised. I went for the ozone steam sauna and my expectations were exceeded. Not only did I sweat beyond all belief in the 30 minutes sitting and loosing around 600 calories, but Lola was one of the most pleasant people I’ve ever interacted with. The ear acupuncture was also great and now I’ll be coming back here regularly. I feel like a million bucks tonight. Thanks Lola!

I purchased a 10 session acupuncture and ozone sauna package from Luna Body and Mind and absolutely loved it!! I was looking forward to each and every session! Acupuncture therapy restored my energy levels, balanced my chakras and boosted my happiness. Lola, the owner of this place, is absolutely amazing! Each session she greeted me with her beautiful warm smile and always made me feel at home. I felt completely relaxed and restored after each treatment with her. Lola is a very balanced and powerful healer. I completely trust her with my body and well-being. Highly recommend this place and already looking forward to coming back!!

I’m not exaggerating when I say Luna has changed my body aching quarantine life.
My favorite business in Santa Monica, feel so blessed to have Lola work her acupuncture/ cupping magic!
The ozone sauna is a must too! I want to hug that thing! So detoxifying and stress relieving!
I always arrive at Luna excited and rushed from a busy day and leave a whole new person.
So relaxing & truly body healing, better then any massage can provide and with long term benefits.
There’s something unique about Lola, her presence is calming & inviting.
I highly suggest to anyone who hasn’t tried acupuncture to give it a shot. I’m a tiny lady, if my body can handle it, you can too haha it doesn’t hurt, it is tension relieving.
I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my sleep, mood, energy, and anxiety since going here.
Love you all! Thank you for existing :)

Out of all the acupuncturists I have seen, Lola is truly the best of the best. I have been living in LA for over 6 years and have seen it all and therefore normally don’t write reviews but Lola is THAT good. When I am constantly seeing Lola for treatments, my health is the best it will ever be. I cannot recommend Luna, Body & Mind enough. It is honestly life changing!

Lola was very knowledgeable about my Autoimmune problems and offered great recommendations (even my dr was very impressed). My teen daughter is a very big fan of gold seeds, they really help her distress from school. The ambiance is very calm and relaxing. Everyone was extremely knowledgeable. The space was clean and everything was sanitized.
Very COVID19 safe (big plus for me)

Lately I have been suffering from extreme back pain with consistently low HRV and sleep numbers. I visited Lola and felt absolutely at home in her gorgeous clinic near the Promenade in Santa Monica. I explained to Lola what was bothering me and she did an extensive acupuncture, cupping and electro stem treatment on me. Immediately, my back stopped seizing up and my pain decreased immensely. Not only did I feel better, but my HRV score went up 20 points after one day and I had 2:45 minutes of REM sleep when I was previously averaging 1:20 minutes. I plan to go back in two days to increase the benefits and healing, and I know that these treatments will get me back to feeling and sleeping great. Thank you Lola!

Have been a patient of Lola’s for quite some time now, and can say she’s is a godsend. Not only she’s very experienced but her bedside manners are the best. She shares her vast knowledge of Chinese medicine with so much grace, patiently explaining every step of the way so I can feel good about it at any given time. Best of all, I feel a real difference after the treatments. Pain level has significantly decreased, and I have been feeling more relaxed.
New Santa Monica place has incredibly healing vibes to it, designed with care and patients in mind. I appreciate the precautions ‘Luna body and mind’ team is taking to ensure a safe and sanitized experience. Looking forward to my weekly sessions!

I will be coming back weekly for treatments and I HIGHLY recommend for anyone and everyone with anxiety, stress, insomnia etc. to come in and give it a try; best decision of my life! Not to mention the office is absolutely adorable. The vibes are very peaceful and relaxing. I can’t wait for my next treatment !

Treatments at Luna always makes me feel better, physically and psychologically. Lola is so knowledgeable about how the body works and listens carefully to any issue which impacts my health and well being.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Lola and using the ozone sauna today, and it was a great relief and detox. She was very knowledgeable, very responsive, and I had a great conversation with her. I’m definitely considering all of her other services as well. I highly recommend to others!
Chris Brandlin
Coming to Luna Body and Mind has had a huge, positive impact on my health and energy levels. Lola is super knowledgeable about alternative & integrative health protocols and has a kind, warm, welcoming energy. Alexandra & Alex are nice, responsive with scheduling and taking care of me during ozone treatments. The ozone far infrared sauna has made all the difference in helping me get rid of brain fog and burn out. Every time I walk out of this place I feel like a million dollars.
Thank you, Luna Body & Mind !!

Lola at Luna is an absolute artist – a magic worker. She is compassionate, humble, funny, empathetic, and knows how to make you feel at ease immediately. Somehow the day just turns around the second I’m even driving in for a treatment and I’m in a state of bliss for days afterward. The space is beautiful, the acupuncture beds and heat lamps feel like warm hugs, and the ozone sauna is the key to detoxifying your body and life! Could not recommend Luna B&A more!
Michele Nilsen

Highly suggest booking a free consultation or your first session ASAP!
