THE LUMA CENTER

acupuncture • yoga • community

 
 


Welcome to the Luma Center!

Since our doors first opened in 2015, we have become a hub for providing Integrative Care and Resources for Women, Wombholders & Families in Petaluma and the surrounding communities.

The mission and drive to birth this center came from the strong belief in the essential role of “the village” even in modern times; a center that offers a network of support in times of transition from childbearing, trying to conceive, puberty/menarche or peri/menopause and much more. Because we were not meant to do this alone.

In addition, we support our community on the daily with things like fatigue, insomnia, headaches, painful/irregular periods, immune support and also, just plain old STRESS.


Our Treatment Philosophy:

A whole body approach - everything is connected

Deep listening & an individualized care plan

A collaborative team of support & healing


The Luma Center recently expanded in the Spring of 2023 to now have two healing suites in one with more incredible practitioners to support you on your health and wellness path.

SUITE C: Luma Acupuncture, Wellness & Gather -Our Acupuncture Clinic, Retail Shop & Classroom Event Space

SUITE B: Luma Wellness Collective - A Collective of Practitioners from Many Support Modalities

Midwifery, Massage, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy, Counseling Therapy / EMDR with a Perinatal Disorder Specialization & much more!

Acupuncture with (Nicole) Nika has been transformative; from a spasming upper back due to breastfeeding to no pain and increased full body awareness. She doesn’t just treat the body, she has a wealth of information about wellness and sessions with her are very therapeutic. I love everything about going to the Luma center, from the acupuncture and yoga to simply the lovely smell when I walk in the doors. I feel very lucky that she and the center are in my hometown!

I started seeing Nicole four months ago after experiencing some challenges with fertility. I was instantly comfortable in her presence and thrilled by her holistic approach! Beyond the acupuncture treatments, we discuss diet and life challenges as well. Nicole is incredibly intuitive and has offered lots of great advice and insight throughout my treatment. She is also a knowledgeable herbalist and has created personal recipes for both myself and my husband. Her acupuncture treatments are so gentle and relaxing that I have even fallen asleep on the table!

If you need acupuncture, go see Nicole! She is an extremely knowledgeable acupuncturist and herbalist. When you first meet with her she is inquisitive and very attuned to your ailments and how they affect your daily life. She creates a very relaxed environment where one feels comfortable to let all tension go. When working with Nicole you can sense the passion and love she has for what she does. That to me is what makes an unforgettable practitioner.

I was referred to Nicole by my midwife postpartum. She is amazing and I feel better after every session! I instantly felt comfortable with her and she has a little one too so she totally knows about the best ways to treat pregnant and postpartum mums.

Her presence is very calming and her recommendations and treatments have been right on. We are moving and I will still drive an extra 20 min each way just to come here—I highly recommend Nicole!
