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.

Background: I've had chronic GERD issues given stress from work along with poor eating habits. These issues have persisted for about a decade now. I've tried a variety of western medications, and wanted to shift away from taking meds daily.

Dr. Seeta was attentive in understanding my issues, and had mapped out a program to address the root cause of my issues.

I found Rebuild Ayurveda online a few years ago and wasn't ready to dive into a comprehensive…read moreprogram for various reasons. I'm holistic energy practitioner and have become much more discerning and patient when it comes to choosing a healer to work with. I have really been itching to find an Ayurvedic Practitioner that I felt compatible with and that had a certain level of groundedness and integrity, which I look for in general. I reached out to Rita after going to a doctor to get blood work and being diagnosed with a thyroid imbalance and some vitamin deficiencies. Between juggling graduate school with work and long-term stress, during the crazy Covid-19 pandemic with everyone else these alarms were sounding: I had low-to-no appetite, poor focus, fatigue, my cycles were very short, and my hands and feet were puffy. I was basically a cold stagnant mess. It all pushed me to stop putting it off and reach out to Rita. She has been a life saver. I could tell by her calm, compassionate demeanor and sharp focus that she was going to be someone I could work with. I was also working with a Chinese Doctor at the time who practiced functional medicine which was definitely helping, but I felt that an Ayurvedic program would be more effective, in combination, to get at the deeper more chronic imbalances. Rita was a wonderful addition to my care team. I asked her advice how best to work her program with what I was currently doing. She developed a seamless plan that complemented and enhanced my healing tremendously. I followed the 3 day Kitchari cleanse she prescribed, purchased and took the herbs. You won't always be perfect, I fell off a bit, but started again. When you stick with it, and do the work you get results. After the three day cleanse I noticed the puffiness in my hands and feet were gone. I also had the post cleanse Abhyanga massage and herbal steam, which were divine, as well as a Marma session. She is a gifted energy worker, subtle and strong. I took advantage of winter break to get it ALL, and I'm so glad I did. I recommend following a solid program with her. I continued with the herbs and changes she recommended and feel so much better, have my focus back, my appetite improved tremendously. I feel empowered to know that I can continue on this path and reach my health goals. I do feel my body is rebuilding. I am so grateful and feel blessed to have been able to work with Rita! I included the Before and After transformation because I was amazed!
