Acupuncturist in Santa Monica Specializing in Pain, Insomnia and Anxiety

Lola Fox-Rabinovich is a licensed acupuncturist in Santa Monica and founder of Luna Body & Mind, an acupuncture clinic serving patients from Santa Monica, Venice, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, and West Los Angeles.

She specializes in treating chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, and stress-related conditions. Her clinical focus includes complex pain conditions such as TMJ, peripheral neuropathy, migraines, and musculoskeletal injuries.

Lola is currently completing her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at Yo San University in Los Angeles, where classical Chinese medicine is studied alongside modern biomedical science.

Her path to acupuncture began through a deeply personal experience. In 2003, her five-year-old daughter Julia was diagnosed with leukemia. During her treatment, Lola met Tuan Nguyen, a third-generation Daoist acupuncturist from Vietnam, whose treatments produced results that felt almost miraculous and inspired Lola to begin studying Chinese medicine.

While Tuan was treating Julia, Lola began studying with him and learning his clinical approach. That experience sparked her long-term commitment to the practice of Chinese medicine.

Lola later graduated from the Maryland University of Integrative Health (formerly Tai Sophia) in 2003 and has more than 17 years of clinical experience in acupuncture and Chinese medicine.

Lola combines acupuncture with therapies such as ozone therapy, neuromuscular therapy, regenerative microneedling, and red light therapy to reduce inflammation, regulate the nervous system, and support lasting healing.

Many patients seek care at Luna Body & Mind after trying other treatments without success, and the clinic has become known locally for its integrative approach to pain relief, sleep disorders, and nervous system regulation in Santa Monica.
