Bodhi Vida, LLC

Acupuncture at Bodhi Vida is quite simply, life changing. Hilde's approach is thoughtful, patient, kind and generous. Her knowledge of the whole body - energy, mind and spirit - and what her patient needs is remarkable. I left each session with a new perspective on life, a new sense of balance, calm and rejuvenated health. Hilde is amazing. As they say: do not walk - run! to receive acupuncture and body work from this light-filled healer!

Just being in the presence of John is healing. His work goes far beyond acupuncture – he recognizes that we are multi-dimensional beings that need care on many levels. Each session is tailored to my specific needs and I consistently leave feeling physically attuned, mentally refreshed and emotionally balanced. John is a huge ally in my health journey – I would not be the person that I am without him. He is a gifted healer and it is a blessing to have the opportunity to work with him.

I had the luxury and privilege to experience and benefit from John as my practitioner for the several years he lived in Los Angeles. The healing benefits from his massage therapy or acupuncture were always a priceless gift that I terribly miss and have never been able to replace. His combination of physical healing and mental stimulus (he's extremely intelligent and well versed in many subjects and world affairs) had me as a regular patient along with co-workers and friends that I introduced to his healing powers. Heal yourself and take advantage of the benefits of this wonderful person and practitioner.

I highly recommend John & Hilde... Very positive experience! The treatments helped with my pain & I made new friends as well. Thanks so much for taking great care of me & the guidance throughout the recovery process.

I was fortunate because my wife used to work in an acupuncture office between college and medical school. As a result of her experience I was afforded many opportunities to receive acupuncture from several different practitioners of varying skill sets. This allows me to say with the utmost confidence that John Simmonds is BY FAR the best practitioner I've encountered. Like any profession, 10% of individuals you find are what you would consider, "exceptional". John Simmonds is just that. When you find someone of this caliber you don't want to pass up the opportunity.

I feel bad for those individuals that have never had a, "real" session. I've found acupuncture to be such a positive part of my life. I have to wonder how many people out there say that acupuncture wasn't or them or didn't serve them because they've had the wrong practitioner.
