About Luke

L.Ac. Licensed Acupuncturist

DOM Diplomat of Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM)
People often ask me with a bit of surprise, “Why did you choose to be an acupuncturist?” I remember spending months thinking about my life purpose as a teenager. I knew clearly that I wanted to make a difference in the world. I just didn’t know how. As my personal healing progressed during my teenage years, it became crystal clear that to make a lasting difference in the world I had to heal myself. My healing has evolved over the years. Sometimes it’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Healing always comes down to honoring my sense of truth and being gentle and courageous at the same time. Guess what? I’m getting better at it. As I improve my ability to heal myself, I’m becoming a better teacher, healer, husband, friend, son and brother. I believe to heal the world you have to heal yourself. I became an acupuncturist to support people to heal themselves, which as I’ve witnessed quickly follows into their families, communities and world. This business isn’t about making money and becoming famous. It’s about social change, protecting the environment, human rights, ensuring all people have clean water, food and shelter. These causes only make traction when you have the health and endurance to offer something valuable. The change has to happen inside your heart. That’s the only way this is going to work. You can learn to heal. I’m on a mission to heal the world and I need your help. Join me.

Luke Adler Healing Philosophy, Vision and Mission
Love is the best prescription, especially when combined with a clean diet, a balanced lifestyle, and good company.
When you open your heart to the people you resist, when you let go of the beliefs that keep you stuck, when you allow love to flow into the tissues and organs that have been holding the tension, the stuck emotion and memories, the body and its’ faculties undergo a profound transformation and healing ensues.
The Vision of Luke Adler Healing is for alternative medicine to be known, accepted, and utilized as a universal means to prevent disease, restore health, and support people to make a difference in their local and global communities.
The Mission of Luke Adler Healing is to make Healing available by constantly imparting teachings, and providing workshops, events, products, and spaces that support you.
Testimonials
My work with Luke has been life-changing. After many years of being on the “spiritual path”, it was his techniques and guidance that broke down barriers and opened me up to a new level of joy, happiness and love. Of Luke’s many gifts as a spiritual teacher and healer, I believe the greatest is his unique ability to “tune in” to exactly what I need at a particular point in my meditation or healing process and custom tailor his techniques to enhance my experience. His expertise and wisdom belie his chronological age.

So many doctors talk about the importance of a mind/body connection. Luke is one of a handful of practitioners who really practices in this fashion. He has an abundance of the qualities that make a GREAT practitioner. Patience, curiosity, and a consistent drive to learn from both his patients and the medical community around him. His solutions to health issues arise depending on individual situations. When I first began working with Luke I had chronic health issues that several western physicians had only worsened. Luke not only helped me achieve a high level of health but taught me how to manage my own well being.

Luke Adler has shown such a commitment to my healing. Acupuncture is relieving my fibromyalgia pain significantly!
-Thanks, Chris B.
I gave up right before I came here. I spent a week or more between the dr. office and the hospital. I had such a bad migraine that half of my body was numb. The only thing that has helped me was acupuncture. I felt relief after the first treatment, my head stopped pounding for the first time in a week. I was amazed! I’ve kept coming for preventive measures and I haven’t had a migraine since.
-Thanks Luke and your great staff! Sari G.
Through Luke’s study and knowledge of the work he does, as a well as his commitment to his own Spiritual walk-his openness to being “directed” to each of his patients and to speak truth and wisdom when needed, has brought me to a new awareness of all aspects of my life. —Who I am, why I am the way I am—To learn in one of my sessions that one thought as a child, “What do I do now?” has been in charge and directing my whole life! A profound moment in the understanding of what has driven me- To take it captive and accept I cannot do something about everything…To dig deeper into my faith and learn to truly trust in the God I serve. This trust and change of thinking, lead by God, using Luke as His “instrument,” is bringing a much stronger sense of peace, calmness, and clearer understanding of who and what I’m all about-who I’ve been created to be and with that I’m eternally grateful!
