This is the second time i've been to The Healing Gardens of Ayurveda…read more My husband won the recent instagram giveaway for an Abhyanga massage ($120) and he gifted it to me. (So sweet of him) As I first walked into the room, the smell was amazing and energy was calming! I loved that. An abhyanga is a full body massage where they use warm scented oil that your skin absorbs. I truly felt like I was able to release all tension and allow myself to receive and enjoy! I was so relaxed that I was able to fall asleep. At the end of my massage I felt rejuvenated! I didn't realize how much I needed this massage until I experienced it once again. The female massage practitioner (i'm unsure how to spell out her name) I wish I did because she IS AMAZING! She made me feel welcome and comfortable throughout the whole experience. She had the perfect touch as far as how much pressure to apply. At the end of my massage I was offered some delicious tea! *Herbal Cup - Anti-Stress* I exchanged a few words with Dr.Ram who is such a kind human. I am very grateful for the services his Wellness Center offers. I will definitely be back and will always recommend these services to others.

I have seen Healing Gardens of Ayurveda on my Yelp browses for massages, but when I called in prior…read moreto the pandemic, it was really hard to get an appointment. A few months ago, my friend gifted me a 90 minute Abhyanga Massage ($145 value) and it took me nearly 4 months to finally make my way here. I called to make my reservation with Tina. She was very professional and informative. I provided the gift certificate # and Tina was able to help me apply the gift certificate seamlessly. Since it was my first time experiencing this type of service/massage, Tina also gave me a friendly reminder that this service uses a lot of healing oils for the massage, so it is recommended that I wore clothes that I wouldn't mind oil residue on. Also I was emailed a reservation confirmation with the need to know information for the service. For anyone not familiar with an Abhyanga Massage, this is a full body massage with a generous amount of warm herbal oils that are abundant in antioxidants and adaptogens. This is meant to promote relaxation and rejuvenation. On the day of my service I arrived 15 minutes early to fill out my first time customer forms. Tina was there that day and she offered me water or hot tea. She asked if I needed to use the restroom before my service. Just FYI - the restrooms are disconnected from their suite. For my Abhyanga Massage, I was with Tanaz. She welcomed me back to the room and we had a quick chat about what pressure I would like, if there were any areas I would like extra work on, if there were any areas to avoid, disclosure about the use of oils, and all the usual. I really appreciated her guidance through the whole experience, and most importantly the massage was spectacular. We started off face up and we ended face down. I noticed some use of essential oils on the face to start to set the mood. They use SO MUCH oil here, in a good way. It really helps with the massage strokes and even when the warm oil gets poured onto each body part, it felt extremely relaxing. Tanaz is amazing!! What a treat to experience the Abhyanga Massage! I hear they recently added a 4 hands massage, where you have 2 massage therapists working on you simultaneously! I have never done that before and I would highly consider coming back.

The healthiest I've ever been in my life…read more I completed 5 days of Pancha Karma (plus a week of preparation) with Rasa Veda (Sheila) in 2023 and have experienced treatments with many other Ayurvedic practitioners in previous years. By Day #3, I felt fully restored - cured and ready to return to the stressful real world but with a more balanced baseline. However, whereas Days 1-3 delivered full restoration, Days 4-5 brought forward progress towards a level of health that I had never experienced. In this deep state of flow, my body felt weightless, my heart was in blissful concurrence, and my body and systems were moving with pure "ease" (perhaps, the opposite of "disease"). After completing Pancha Karma, I spent the weekend wondering, "is this what enlightenment feels like?" The treatment brought so much balance to my body and life that I effortlessly and unintentionally transitioned to being 99% vegetarian. (Previously, I insisted that lifestyle was not possible for me and my constitution.) I highly recommend going "all in" on the full Pancha Karma experience. Trust the process. The Preventative Medicine benefits, alone, justify the ROI. Further, the personal and physical improvements and transformation are priceless. Pancha Karma brought me to a state of health that I didn't know was possible for me. And, I seek to maintain these benefits via regular maintenance at Rasa Veda, each season. Of note, Sheila is a gifted alchemist and mixologist when it comes to herbs, oils, tonics, elixirs, and cooking. During each day of Pancha Karma, she nurtured me with oils, essential oils, steam baths, Ayurvedic massage, herbs, drinks, music, vocals, prayers, intentions, and fabulous fresh homemade meals that soothed my soul. Sheila brings a warrior mindset to her commitment to her craft. She is relentlessly dedicated to Ayurveda in the purest form permissible and prides herself on not cutting corners. Consequently, she uses only the most authentic ingredients and customizes all treatments and potions based on each individual's unique needs. Stepping into her office feels like being transported to another time and space, and each session ends with shirodhara to transport you to another dimension.

There aren't enough words to describe how profound Sheila's treatments are. I've been seeing Sheila…read moreregularly for over a year now, and what has occurred is beyond anything I could've ever hoped or prayed for. I started seeing Sheila for an acute, recurring health issue thinking that changing up my diet and quickly getting things balanced out internally would be the resolution. But thanks to Sheila's loving touch and care, we went MUCH deeper than that. So much cleared emotionally on top of the physical changes I was advised to make - I didn't even realize how much I had been carrying. I know real when I see and feel it - and Sheila's healing capacity is the real deal. Her Ayurvedic treatments are so full of love and deep, deep care. The moment you walk in, expect to be greeted with a warm hug and the scent of her homemade incense. In the actual treatments, you'll be bathed with the most sublime oils that Sheila spends weeks at a time making herself. In the hours that I've been on her table, I've experienced the deepest states of healing and relaxation that I have yet to find anywhere else. It's so comforting to know deep in your soul when you've found your "person", and Sheila is my person. If you're on the fence about booking a treatment with her, this is your sign! Do it!

TL;DR: Cured me of HPV & Cervical pre-cancer :)…read more Zubinji is an exceptional healer, and if you have health concerns that feel complex or even entirely unresolvable, I highly recommend seeking treatment with him. I did, beginning in 2022, and I can honestly say he changed my life. I first found him online through extensive Google searching at a point in time when I had so many odd, seemingly isolated health issues, most prominently some chronic gynecological problems, and none of my regular doctors were successfully treating or fully understanding any of it. I'd tried many other alternative methods as well - changing my diet, trying herbal supplements, acupuncture, but to no avail. I was SO frustrated, as it was all greatly impacting my life. On a small intuitive hunch - that my body was out of balance and that's why I had all of these symptoms - I remembered Ayurveda, something I'd only had a vague understanding of from my yoga practice. I found Zubinji and the several other glowing Yelp reviews below mine, was able to schedule with him almost immediately, and my journey to healing finally began. Zubinji was the first person who not only took all of my symptoms seriously, but actually understood them all, where they came from, and why they were manifesting at this moment in my life. I felt so incredibly validated after years of feeling almost 'crazy' or overly-sensitive. His work and his extensive knowledge creates a portrait of each unique patient from their present day life circumstances, past history (both physical and emotional life and traumas), along with family history, and blends all of that with the vast understandings of Ayurveda to create completely individualized treatment plans. He is part medicine man, part psychologist, part friend - all working in tandem in ways that Western medicine and doctors absolutely cannot and are not trained to do. He is incredibly smart, and he is also intuitive (at times he feels almost psychic), and both of those sides of him come into play when he works with his patients. Starting with the basics, Zubinji fixed my sleeping and eating patterns, such that I had never felt so nourished or well-rested in my entire adult life. Following that, he addressed my more specific concerns: gynecological issues, extreme sensitivity to sun/heat (a major challenge in SoCal), chronic fatigue. He recognized a change in my body that I was devastated by but thought no one else could truly see but me - and understood its direct correlation to a traumatic experience I'd had. He treated me not only for the physical manifestation itself, but also for the trauma/grief that was obviously still being held in my body. The relief I found from his treatments was and continues to be astounding to me. One of our largest healing 'wins' came just last year in fact, in 2024, when I was diagnosed with a very advanced stage of cervical dysplasia (CIN3) - the ominous step right before cervical cancer caused by certain strains of the HPV virus. I was naturally terrified, and my ob/gyn immediately and emphatically insisted I'd need a procedure called the LEEP, to remove 'damaged' parts of my cervix. Reading about the LEEP and its potential side effects was almost as terrifying as reading about cervical cancer itself. I didn't want to do it. Something inside me told me not to, at least not straight away. I called Zubinji. I asked if he thought this was something he could treat. He said yes, that it'd be well worth a try, but that I'd have to decide quickly because he was about to leave for an extended vacation. So I said ok, and even in a busy personal moment, Zubinji overnighted me the custom herbal liquids, supplements and oils (the 'protocol') I'd need to begin treating the dysplasia. I scheduled a second opinion appointment with a more reputable OB/GYN (specialized in oncology) for 8ish weeks later. I thought, ok if Ayurveda doesn't work, I'll probably have to do the LEEP, but I'm willing to take this chance for now. Cut to 8 weeks later: Following a PAP with the other ob/gyn, not only was I completely cleared of dysplasia, had no signs of cancer, but also had no trace of HPV in my system whatsoever!! HPV! The same virus that most of the medical world deems untreatable! I was so amazed! And so incredibly relieved! But not entirely surprised, based on the many other successes I'd had working with Zubinji. But this was the biggest test of Ayurveda's strength, and it passed with flying colors. I recently had my one year follow up PAP following that protocol, and all of my test results remain completely clear. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to use this ancient wisdom and Zubinji's application of it in the modern world, right here in LA, to achieve this profound level of healing. I hope you'll reach out to Zubinji if my review and others resonate with you, and wishing you all the best for your own journey back to health.

Life changing healing -- PCOS reversed, 30+ lbs lost, and new beginnings…read more Zubin ji helped me kickstart a new chapter in my health journey. I first met him in 2019, just a few months before COVID hit. At that time, my life revolved around a demanding career, with little room for self-care of any sort. I was constantly exhausted, carrying nearly 30 extra lbs, and had been diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) with no real solutions from western doctors. I was extremely frustrated and wanted to break through what seemed like an impasse. As someone who believes in treating the root cause rather than masking symptoms with pills, I was determined to find a sustainable path to better health. My first visit to him was in late 2019. After three cycles of herbs (11 weeks), I began to notice positive changes. With his guidance, I built a stronger routine that I was able to stick to -- walking 10K+ steps daily, going on weekly hikes for nearly four months, and making thoughtful changes to my diet. The results were remarkable. I lost 30+ lbs, my PCOS symptoms vanished (and haven't returned for 5+ years), and I rediscovered a genuine joy for life. It was a turning point that gave me the strength and confidence to start a new chapter. Zubin ji's care is deeply personal. His expertise in Ayurvedic medicine is matched by his compassionate bedside manner, patient listening, and the warmth and positivity he brings to every consultation. Now, he is also helping my mom (who is in her 70s) recover from a stroke she had last year. Despite some speech impairment, Zubin ji turned what could have been a long and difficult consultation into a patient, respectful and even jovial conversation. His detailed food and lifestyle recommendations not only boosted her confidence but also gave her genuine hope for recovery. If you're dealing with physical, emotional or psycho-somatic health challenges, I wholeheartedly recommend going to Zubin ji. It could be the first step towards transforming your life.
