aadya therapies

 I recently experienced the seven day panchakarma detox with Bronwen (she is Aadya Ayurveda).  As writing this I am struggling to find the right words because anything i write here will not due justice to the life enhancing experience that happens with Bronwen.  However I will try:  to start i must first say anyone interested in learning to be an ayurvedic practitioner can go and learn about the subject.  that being said what Bronwen does you cannot teach.  i believe she channels some sort of magical energy.  during the detox you drive up to her beautiful home in Topanga where she has a comfortable treatment room (like a mini spa).  once you lie on the table something magical seems to happen.  The next three to four hours Bronwen goes into a zone, focusing on healing your mind, body, and soul.  not to mention all the oils, and potions she uses she makes herself.  you really feel the love, care, and passion!!!  i have never experienced anything close to this in the context of cleansing and detoxing (and i have lived at several health spa's around the globe)...

now that i completed the program, i have had such clarity that i am making positive life changes.  i feel ALIVE and CLEAN with an open heart.

i recommend anyone who wants to detox, reset the system, or simply want some treatments to go see Bronwen ...

Like so many of the reviewers, I was very skeptical about this treatment. And, again, like so many of the reviewers, this is the first time I've ever felt compelled to write a yelp review. So let me begin by saying that Bronwen really is that approachable and that compelling. If nothing else, please take all that initial feedback (from myself and everyone else) at face value and book your appointment now! You won't regret it. On some level it's an experience best savored without expectation or anticipation. Stop reading here and just go with an open mind and know that whatever it is you're seeking will be met on some level...

I booked my initial visit based on said yelp reviews but let me just say that Bronwen's glowing reviews only scratch the surface of what magic lies within her treatments. Please know that in addition to being a healer of considerable talent and magical touch, Bronwen is also a highly educated and wildly intuitive individual. So, if you are a like-minded person who's thinking "I'm interested but this might be entirely too weird for me" please know that even an equally over-educated, highly skeptical brat like me is now a convert.

I was so moved by my initial 2 1/2 hour treatment (involving a transformative hot oil massage and scalp and hair treatment) that I signed on for the five day Panchakarma detox. While this does involve a level of commitment (being that it demands both a five day preliminary diet and a five day dedication to the treatment itself--four hours a day, each day) this was the least "taxing" of any commitment I've ever undertaken. It was a pleasure to give myself over to the process each day, and I never once tired of Bronwen's company or unfailing dedication to the process. (Again, I'm a person who feels both taxed by commitment and easily tired of certain company.) So, if you're holding yourself back from experiencing this because it's too "weird" or "touchy feel" or "intimate" or any other excuse you can think of, please don't.

I was always curious (or nosey) as to what possessed other people to undergo this detox so I'll volunteer my own motivations by saying that I was trying to move past a series of toxic and painful relationships (including a divorce from a short-lived and tumultuous marriage.) Without making me feel like a victim, or a side show, or a stereotype, Bronwen connected with a pain I never knew anyone else could see and a healing process I never knew I needed...

It was truly life-changing... Bronwen just feels that natural and intuitive.  She's entirely without airs, without posturing, and without ego. Please, please do yourself the extraordinary favor of entrusting your bruised/battered/or simply tired little soul into the hands of a genuine and gifted healer.

Bronwen is devoted to what she does, and so naturally a healer she is that the virtuosity of her hands transforms an aching flesh to a body of blessing, within just a couple of hours of encounter with authentic herbs and wisdom that she has gathered with care.
What she does -beyond being an ancient healing treatment- is magical because of the way she does it: so human and so humane, despite her exceptional capabilities as a healer, Bronwen is so simple and selfless. In your very first encounter you will know you're not in hands of a practitioner, but a wise and sincere friend, giving away whatever she can to elevate your body and spirit.
You will not get a service with Bronwen, you'll be offered a new experience of being which will remain with you for days, and will keep growing.
Don't miss the marvelous experience...
