Light & Joy Acupuncture

I just have to share! I saw Iris last week and I was having terrible pain in my hips and since the treatment I have felt no pain at all. Iris is a truly exceptional practitioner; she is extremely nurturing and is very knowledgeable. Thank you Iris for making me pain free!

I couldn’t even make the appointment for myself my husband had to do it. I was suffering so bad from postpartum.
He made my appointment with Iris and thank god he did!
I had never had acupuncture before so I was a little nervous but Iris made me feel right at ease. Before we started she took the time to talk to me a about what was going on and what she thought she could do to really help me feel better.
After our first session I could already feel my anxiety level dropping. It was the first time in a few weeks I felt rested and calm.
I couldn’t wait for the next appointment! I looked forward to them :)
I would recommend Iris not only for postpartum acupuncture but for all health concerns acupuncture.
The office and staff were also very nice and organized!

I’ve written a review in the past about Yoevita whom I have traditionally seen for acupuncture. When she was out on maternity leave, I saw Iris a few times. I love her also! Like Yoevita she is caring and has a great bedside manner. Not to mention that my treatment is so relaxing. So thankful for Light and Joy and the great job everyone does!

I value my time — I’m a schedule driven person. My appointment with Iris started exactly on time and she was very thorough with her intake and consultation, while still managing to be efficient with our time — a rare gift. I saw some great results, specifically with a long-​standing lower back injury, and a more recent climbing-​related elbow injury. Scheduling was also very easy, which is a huge plus for me as my schedule changes with little notice. I will definitely go back.

I’ve been seeing Yoevita for a little over 6 months. She has been working on my chronic back pain and stress level. Every time I leave, I feel relaxed with significantly less pain. I highly recommend her. The office is clean and organized and everyone is very friendly.

Kaile is very gentle with her acupuncture technique — she’s very focused on what areas she wants to address in a session and explains what she’s doing and why. I know I do feel better afterwards and it increases over time. I love the fact that her goal is to get you back to optimal health and to just come in for a tune up when you need.
I don’t like needles, so Kaile uses the smallest ones they have and I hardly feel them going in — and they are very effective. She’s very sensitive about your comfort level. It’s a very relaxing hour.
It’s a pleasant environment, parking is good and the location is great — at the top of Lark Avenue, near Office Depot.

After a hard weekend of loading, driving 14 hours, then unloading a 26 ft Uhaul truck… was in dire need of a relaxing massage… Light & Joy Acupuncture are not only known for their great acupuncturists, but their massage therapy as well. Sharon was awesome! Sharon assessed first of all what my current and past issues had been, then Sharon got to work on all of my «hot» spots… shoulders, lower back. I was so relaxed by the end of our time together, I drove home and crawled into bed and feel asleep instantly… It was such a great experience I bought a gift certificate for my girlfriend that helped me with my move… Thanks Sharon for taking such great care of me! I look forward to our next session!

I’ve been seeing Yoevita for several years now, and I have sort of a «reverse testimonial». What is that, you ask? That’s when you stop going to see someone and you start falling apart! ;-)
For awhile there, I got too busy, and didn’t continue seeing Yoevita when she moved her office from San Jose to Los Gatos. BIG MISTAKE. So, recently I finally wised up and starting going for acupuncture again.
As luck would have it, my chiropractor retired, and Yoevita recommended Dr. Ho in her office. I started seeing both of them, and they’ve been resolving many of my issues: a super tight IT band, an old knee injury, a chronically tight upper back and pinched nerves, and migraines. I can’t rave about them enough.
Oh, and I also saw Kaile when they had their office in San Jose, and she’s awesome, too! And, I have had massages with Sharon, and I highly recommend her, too. You really can’t go wrong at Light and Joy.

Yoevita is amazing-she’s very caring and knowledgeable. She took great care of me during my pregnancy and also supported me through a very tough battle with postpartum anxiety and depression. Many times we have talked about the journey of motherhood (and life) and she always carefully asks about how I am doing physically as well so that she knows how to help me with the needles. I also love the little massage she gives me at the end of each session. It really helps me sleep better after my treatments!

Had an amazing massage by Sharon. She resolved the sensitivity in the balls of my feet and I’m a new person. Will definitely go back!

I have been seeing Yoevita and Kaile for a few months now and WOW. Whether I am feeling low energy, or like I am coming down with something their treatments fixed me right up.
Most recently I came down with an evil head cold that was keeping me from my work. By the time I would get home, my eyes would feel like they were going to swell shut, and the congestion in my head and chest was ridiculous. I decided i didn’t want to take meds, so I called Yoevita and Kaile at Light and Joy.
Within hours of my treatment, the congestion in my head and chest minimized dramatically and I felt like a new person. What I learned from this experience is that I don’t have to suffer through the symptoms of an overwhelming head cold when I have a great team like Yoevita and Kaile. I am confident that they have the tools and knowledge to help me through my ailments. Thanks Light and Joy!

I’ve been seeing Kaile Wu at Light & Joy now for about a year almost.
Kaile is just amazing. I thoughtful and caring practioner. Extremely knowledgable and always ready to be of service.
Genuinely concerned about her patients needs and always goes beyond just the visit. She follows up with you to ensure your well being is being addressed.
She’s easy to talk to and thus enables you to express your concerns in a comfortable and trusting setting.
Healing commences with your body and you understanding it. Kailer facilitates this process when too often Western Medicine just provides a masking affect without never understanding what is causing the distress in your body.
I strongly Recommend Kaile and the Light & Joy Practice. She’ll help you to begin a journey that could lead to healing you seek.
Gracias Kaile

I was recommended this place after I had a softball injury. I had a partial miniscus tear and strained MCL. I was on crutches my first appointment and figured I’d give acupuncture a try since it’s always helped me when I was doing martial arts in my younger days. I’m so glad I went!
Yoevita was helpful, patient, and very sweet! The sessions were relaxing, the needles are ok if you don’t look even though they don’t hurt, and I had a nice snooze while the needles went to work. The massage ointments she recommended were great when I used them at home since I was only supposed to ice for a few weeks.
She told me to not use my brace and monitored my progress until I was 100%. I rocked it in the last game of the season without a hitch! Thanks Yoevita for all your help! Highly recommended!
