I am proud and honored to have Acupuncturist Robert Luna join my practice. He is a perfect complement to my healing modalities and for one so newly knowledgeable he is highly intuitive, creative , competent and a wonderful loving healer. He is also my personal healing practitioner and because of him I am now well enough to continue my practice full time. And for that I owe him a dept of gratitude
He recently moved up to the San Bernadine mountains and our mountain Community from Los Angeles area and we have been working together in Holistic Wellness Center in Calimesa for awhile now. I am so blessed to work side by side with this witty kind soul. I look forward to his smile and his creative energy every day. My clients will have no trouble entrusting him with their health as I trust him with mine.

About Blue Deer Healing & Robert Luna
I’m Robert and my vision is to create an environment conducive to natural healing and natural states. Within this carefully planned space, clients will let go of their external worries and enter into a state of inner calmness, relaxation, peacefulness and mindfulness. Without cultivating this inner-state of awareness, full participation in their own healing is not possible. The practice of natural healing techniques serves to remove people from modernization and facilitates the transformation to a more primitive and meaningful state of our true human and individual nature, restoring natural energy, circulation and vibration in harmony not with machines but with the Cosmos of which we are all a part. To obtain this state, I harmoniously blend Etheric Energy (Acupuncture), Physical Energy(Herbs) and other techniques to bring patients to a place of deep healing and rejuvenation and to experience the simple joys of what it means to be human in a simple movement or breath, and to open them up to states of health and feeling previously believed impossible.
Robert Luna completed his Masters Degree in Traditional Asian Medicine in 2006 from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, CA. Until then, he had been studying Biology at University of California, Los Angeles and world arts and culture at the University of California, Santa Barbara, seeking out his career, educational and spiritual purpose.
On an a visit to Joshua Tree National Park in the sacred California desert, Rob witnessed the miracle of the desert night sky under a full moon and received confirmation to move forward with his plan to study “the ancient healing arts & sciences.” Four years later he became a Board Certified Acupuncturist and Herbalist.
Living a vegetarian lifestyle is an important part of Rob’s life, as an individual and as a healer. He believes the animal foods industry is unsustainable, being a huge source of global pollution, personal disease, as well as being tainted with pain, misery, and sickness – none of which is a part of good health and healing. Because of this he has deliberately excluded animal products, which are common in this field of medicine, from his practice.
Rob combines Acupuncture, herbal medicine, energy work, stone therapy, aromatherapy, and a variety of other modalities. He considers these stems from the same branch of metaphysics, and he synergistically combines them all to provide a deeply restorative experience for his clients. His ultimate goal is to show his clients that there is a healthier and higher way of living, living in harmony with our own natural rhythm and the natural rhythm of our planet, and that this natural harmony is innate and can be attained by anyone.
Healing arts and services Provided by Robert Luna
Acupuncture medicine has evolved over thousands of years and is highly effective and safe. Only traditional medicines have undergone such rigorous “clinical trials”. Acupuncture theory uses a “holistic” approach, meaning it treats any primary complaint by treating the body’s entire energetic system at the same time. This makes patients treatment a unique and specialized experience.
The personalized treatments I provide are customized to each client, based upon a differential diagnosis made by objective analysis of the tongue and pulse qualities, and physical examination of meridians, followed with detailed questioning of the client’s history, environment and emotions.
Depending on the needs of the client, I blend therapies from many ancient world cultures, using Aryuvedic, Chinese and local medicinal herbs, acupressure, body work, Reiki, reflexology, heat therapy, magnetic field therapy, Taoist dietary advice, essential oils, and Reiki. The result is a strong treatment with a powerful focus on the client’s needs.
Standard Treatments Offered:
Acupuncture:
The need for health and healing goes beyond time and space. Every indigenous culture relied on the world around them for their wellness. In the Orient, Acupuncture was the main modality to heal and remain healthy. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into very specific points on the body. Points are selected using a variety of medical philosophies that range from the more esoteric 4-needle technique to Taoist based theories, to theories developed with modern neuro-anatomy.
Herbs:
Herbal therapy involves the use of traditional herbals from not only the orient, but from all over the world including Aryuvedic herbs and Western herbs. These herbs are extremely safe, extremely effective and have over 5,000 years of practical experience and testing. Today in China, millions of people combine modern pharmaceuticals and traditional herbals to achieve a level of healing found nowhere else in the world. In my practice, Herbals are dispensed either by pill/tablet form, or by liquid alcohol extracts to ensure ease of use.
Bodywork:
Very often hands on bodywork is combined with my acupuncture treatments as a way to further stimulate certain acupoints, and muscle groups making treatments dramatically more effective.
Cupping:
Cupping is a therapy that is gaining popularity in the western world. It involves using a glass or plastic spherical cup over certain acupoints on the body. A vacuum is created inside the cup, which lifts the skin in a way that allows the pores to become open- drawing toxins out and creating a rush of circulation. This technique is ideal for aches and pains, minor colds and flues and detoxification.
Moxa:
Moxa is a technique which involves burning certain herbs, usually mugwort, over different parts of the body. Moxa can be burned in a variety of ways, but is usually used in a cigar like roll. Moxa is extremely effective for treating menstrual cramping, minor aches and pains, or cold from exposure.
Exercise/Lifestyle:
Exercise and lifestyle counseling are the heart of preventing disease. Once patients have attained a level of balance, they are given at home instructions to continue their treatments and minimize the chance reoccurrence. Changing posture, breathing a little differently, or thinking from a different point of view is often all that is necessary to create significant shift in ones health.
Diet:
Diet therapy is similar to herbal therapy. It is a very powerful way to change the course of your health. Being a vegetarian, I encourage all my patients to minimize or eliminate all dairy and meat based foods from their diet. This may sound extreme to some, but every patient who commits to this during their course of treatment experiences a rush of renewal and regeneration as all the toxins and impurities from animal foods, not to mention the emotional imprints of misery and fear, leave the body and are replaced with foods of greater healing value.
