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!"

"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."

"Came to see Jhon and Hilde with "o" knowledge of energetic work. I was in real pain due to knee arthritis that the following year led me to double surgery, but the work Hilde had done on me was impressive. Besides a general improved awareness of mental/body mechanisms, her sessions of ago-puncture were a true relief for my intense pain, there was a substantial reduction on pain intensity right after the treatment that would stay with me for the next days. Also her approach to patients is really remarkable, you truly feel welcome by the love they have for their profession. I wish we could live closer and get a treatment every week."

"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."

"Hilde Schirmer is a true healer. Both compassionate and exceptional, Hilde embodies a healthy and enlightened life that is infectious. She carefully listens to each patient's comprehensive history and is fully engaged in the healing process. Individually tailored to meet your specific needs, Hilde's holistic treatments result in the highest quality of care. From alleviating stress to increasing my immune system, Bodhi Vida's plant-based skincare, supplements and wellness products have vastly improved my personal health and overall well-being. Hilde's shining light has brought great joy to my healing process!"

"I must admit that I was a little concerned about needles at first but I didn't feel a thing. John made me feel very comfortable. He was very thorough and attentive to my needs. He helped me with several sports related injuries and accelerated my healing so I could get back with my team quickly. The treatments also helped me reduce stress and were instrumental in my daily meditation practice. Above all else, John is a caring and thoughtful person. He can heal what ails you!"

"The combo facial/acupuncture session with Hilde of Bodhi Vida is one of my all time favorite treatments. I felt as though I was realigned and renourished from the inside out. My skin has never looked better! I also use the serum, toner and mask from Bodhi Vida and love them all."

"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."
