Just a mile east of Rainbow Acres is a great Ayurveda practitioner. I am so impressed with Shannon and Ayurvedic medicine. I have done a lot of work and am finding this work to be amongst the most profound and deeply soothing. I relaxed so deeply in my second session that I, for the first time, heard myself snoring. Thank you Shannon. I am grateful. read more

I did a Shirodhara session last night with Shannon, and I am blown away with how relaxing & peaceful the experience was! Shannon is an incredibly kind and talented practitioner, making me feel safe and comfortable at all times. She really cares about giving you a lovely experience from start to finish. The treatment itself was so relaxing, I even fell asleep for a few minutes. The treatment room was clean & inviting. The Shirodhara felt like the best massage on my brain, warm waves of oil cascading over me. I slept like a baby last night, and woke up feeling so much inner peace and relaxation. I highly recommend Shannon and Heal Ayurveda! read more

I had high expectations based on the reviews but my experience felt very unprofessional. I booked a 90 min treatment but it was cut to 60 min by their mistake. I came to feel better but the relaxing music played via a youtube channel was interrupted by annoying and loud commercials every 5-7 minutes or so. There was constant clanking of bottles/items being move during the treatment. Although my session was discounted due to these issues, in my personal experience, it still was not worth $90 which I still paid chalking it off as a learning lesson not to return here because I felt worse after the experience. read more

The Ayurvedic treatment Naomi provided for my lower back pain was wonderful. Very soothing for tense muscles in a nice relaxing environment. I had never tried Ayurvedic approaches before and she did a great job letting me know what it would entail as we went along. I hope to go back soon! read more

Absolutely love Naomi and her work. Very thorough investigation of the problem, great insights, super relaxing ayurvedic oil massage, followed by detailed dietary and lifestyle recommendations. You will like her prices, too. I believe that healers should be affordable, so people can continue their guided path to wellness. read more

Naomi is an exceptional, kind and caring healer, and a master in Ayurvedic Medicine and Massage. I did not know anything about Ayurvedic Medicine, but I tried her treatment anyway. Right after my first session, I started to feel my body was lighter and stronger. Now, I get her treatment once every other week. She is extremely knowledgable and I trust her expertise and guidance. She has truly changed my life for the better and continues to do so after every session. I am truly grateful to have found such a genuine and giving healer. I strongly recommend this place. read more

Naomi is such a sweet person with a great amount of patience and knowledge! I took my daughter to her because she was having a skin issue around her eyes. We didn't know what to do because we didn't want to put over the counter medicine around her eyes. It was red, puffy and itchy. Instead of regular doctor visit, where you see the doctor for 10 minutes and get prescription medicine, Naomi sat down with us for a good hour and a half. She asked my daughter's eating habit to sleeping habit and etc to get down to what is really going on inside. She truly gives you an advice on how to heal from the inside. She gave us a very specific diet to follow, and some essential oils for my daughter to use. Now my daughter eats much healthier, and the redness around her eyes are completely gone! I highly recommend Naomi! read more

I was looking for a local Ayurvedic practitioner and recently and found Naomi. We connected instantly during our consultation. She knows her stuff, is thorough, insightful, present, super friendly, kind, open, listens without judgment and I could go on and on. She's fab and a wise soul. In her practice is also Brian, an equally wise soul who provides vedic astrology readings, biomagnetic pair therapy and other energy treatments in addition to Abhyanga. So far I've had two bio-magnetic pair treatments with one more scheduled. Biomagnetic pair therapy is a super relaxing modality that balances your body & mind while you lay fully clothed on a massage bed. I also had an Abhyanga massage yesterday with both of them, a treat. This too is a very relaxing, calming and nurturing modality using special warm oils from head to toe. Check them both out, you'll be happy you did, I recommend them warmly. read more

This review is long overdue. Naomi is my 1st Ayurvedic therapist. I consulted Naomi to get help with stress and mild depression due to personal life issues. Naomi recommended a few combination of herbs taken along with a few other healthy supplement. Since I started following the herbs and supplement recommendations, my mood has tremendously improved and I feel more energized. I was quite surprised myself with the changes the diet made to my lifestyle, but it was very effective for a very reasonable cost. I would definitely recommend anyone to try it out. This ancient treatment is far unvalued compared our current overpriced medications. Give it a shot and you will definitely see the difference. read more

I can't say enough about Naomi. What a gem. Honestly, she has a heart of gold and just being around her, makes you feel 10 times better. That, plus the Ayurvedic massage just makes your mind and body at ease. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Naomi. She is a very caring and dedicated health practitioner; warm and intuitive; with a great positive energy about her, that makes you feel totally at ease. She is passionate about helping her clients achieve total health, through Ayurveda medicine. I did her 21 day "body cleanse" detox program, and lost 16 pounds! I also had in addition 2 Ayurveda oil massages, which are recommended to maximize the benefits of the program. I felt relaxed and renewed. Her detox program reduces food cravings and inflammation in the body; and was easy to do. If you follow her advice and guidance, you should have similar results. Her prices are reasonable compared to other Ayurveda practitioners. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you, Naomi! You're the best! :) read more

This service is so relaxing, and I feel light every time my massage is complete. Naomi is gentle, and puts me to sleep with the comforting experiencing. I am a monthly client, and will frequent more when time permits. Thanks for attending to my self-care needs. So WORTH IT! read more

Naomi helped me diagnose and treat an ongoing, mysterious pain that I had been dealing with for 3 years! I had seen a handful of MDs during that time but none of them were able to help me find out what exactly was going on without resorting to invasive testing. Upon a recommendation, I contacted Naomi and during her initial new patient intake, it became clear that she already had a strong idea of what was going on with my mystery pain. She was able to provide a diagnosis and she started me on a recommended combination of herbs, dietary, and lifestyle changes. Within three weeks the pain had disappeared and I felt I had a new understanding of my body and how to take care of it. I highly recommend HEAL! Naomi was able to provide answers and a concrete treatment plan that other health professionals could not. She was also very professional yet friendly and easy to talk to. It was apparent that her healing work comes from a place of dedication, passion, and sincerity! read more

Naomi is the epitome of medical professionalism. She listens intently to you. This is probably why her diagnosis is spot on. My wife has various medical problems. Her severe allergies to fruit and fruit by-products as well as natural medicines with fruit derivatives complicate her condition. Naomi is very patient, methodical and determined to find solutions. She doesn't pretend to know everything. When she doesn't know something, Naomi researches the issue and gets back to you within 24 hours. After seeing how my wife always feels so much better, I have also decided to become Naomi's patient. She has extremely healing hands. Patient listener, extremely knowledgeable and empathetic, responsible and reliable; you can't go wrong in going to Naomi for chronic medical conditions. read more

Been going to Naomi for over 6 months now for back problems. Her massages have helped my back and is a different type of massage, with the use of lots of oil. This makes the massage so much better. Keith K. read more

I have gotten a number of warm oil herbal Ayurvedic Massages from Naomi during the past few months and have to say that that she is totally delightful both as a healer and as a person. Naomi Uchida-Boas, who is also an Ayurvedic Medicine Practitioner, is very committed to sharing this ancient healing wisdom from India. I always look forward to seeing her and experiencing her healing touch and great tips for healthful living. read more

I was dealing with some healthy issues and stress. I went to Naomi and she gave me some really good dietary and herbal recommendations. I also get a warm herbal oil massage. All of these things really reduced my stress levels and anxiety. I also noticed my insomnia resolved. I definitely recommend Naomi. :) read more

Naomi is wonderful- she has great knowledge and training in Ayurveda and I am so happy I found her, thanks to Groupon. Just got done with my first massage with her and I feel great! She has a very gentle style which I love, and the oils she uses make a world of difference. I highly recommend trying her services! read more

Naomi has been very instrumental in controlling my husband's gout and arthritis. By following her recommended use of Ayurvedic herbs and dietary changes, these issues have improved greatly. She has also recommended some oils and other herbs to help him with a skin rash that drives him (and me) crazy with itching. Application of the oil helps control the itching far better than any other cream or lotion he's tried. Naomi is very committed to providing traditional Ayurvedic remedies and does a wonderful job of explaining the benefit of this treatment. I highly recommend Naomi if you are seeking an alternative to the typical western pharmaceutical approach to 'healing.' read more

I have had 3 Ayurvedic massages (Abhyanga) by Naomi and two Shirodhara treatments. I train an average of 10-15 hours a week and the Ayurvedic massages are definitely something I would like to continue for relieving overall stress and for healing my muscles, joints, and bones in a way that sports massages do not address. I feel that through the work Naomi is adjusting my alignment as well as my mind-body-spirit connection. I am aware though that this process is long-term and requires a commitment on my part, which I like. I feel she is giving me tools to heal myself which are invaluable. She has introduced lifestyle changes that involve nutrition and sleep schedule adjustments that have brought a more balanced and acute awareness to myself overall. After speaking to her, I also found that she has applied her Ayurvedic practices on herself to heal and recover from pregnancy. This strengthened my confidence in her knowing that she has tried and tested the procedures and treatments and brought her own self into a very balanced and healthy state. This is also why I appreciate working with Naomi knowing her background in both martial arts (capoeira) and yoga. She is strong in her knowledge of Ayurveda and knows how to communicate it in a manner that is patient and also keeps you on course. I was not sure what to expect from the shirodhara treatments but could definitely feel the strengthening and balance happening within myself through the treatment. The growth in sensitivity of my senses was overwhelming during the procedure and although it went back to a normal level after, I did take strong note of my thought processes after and feel a bit clearer as to what directions to follow. I would like to have additional Shirodhara treatments both to understand and see where the treatments lead. Naomi knows how to create an openness within to help me fully receive the benefits that I know are much needed. I just wanted to give her a strong recommendation. She is a good find in Los Angeles and I will be attending her as much as my time and budget permits for she has become an indispensable part of mentors that are supporting and leading me towards my athletic and health goals. Thank you Naomi:) read more

I'm not into needles, and I do love massages, but I was looking for something a bit more holistic to treat some ongoing digestive issues I've had for over a decade. I had heard about ayurvedic medicine from a friend who had experienced very positive benefits when she began working with an ayurvedic practitioner a few years ago. She lives on the east coast, so at her urging I'd been looking for someone in Los Angeles where I've recently been relocated for work. I found out about Naomi Uchida-Boas by chance when a colleague starting singing her praises. I called and made an appointment right away since I thought if I didn't immediately I never would. I was nervous, but upon meeting Naomi, I was immediately put at ease. She is warm and she listens very well. She began with a thorough intake of my health history, asking a ton of thoughtful questions. She then explained to me that I had an excess of vata due to my busy and stressful schedule. Her ayurvedic massage was fantastic, leaving me feeling both refreshed and actually stronger! Recommending some ayurvedic herbs and a not-too-severe (thankfully!) change in diet, she sent me on my way. I have to say, my digestion is already improved (I will leave out the details - LOL), and I am feeling far more energetic. I made another appointment with her just last week for another massage and a check-up. read more
