“If I could give Rheese more stars I would. I got in contact with her because I was desperate to feel well. I had several physical ailments happening all at the same time, acne and body inflammation being the worst to deal with. I always felt tired due to joint and body inflammation, especially leg pain. I also felt unmotivated and self-conscious about my facial and chest acne. On top of that I had horrible acid reflux that couldn't get better with any type of medicine. However, with Rheese's help and her Ayurvedic nutritional guidance, herbs and products (for internal and external use) I have been able to improve my health and happiness.

Now, I do NOT have joint/body pain or inflammation anymore, the acid reflux is gone and my facial and chest acne has improved and cleared about 90%.

I highly recommend Rheese because she is very knowledgeable of how the body and mind works. I am so grateful that I met her and because I can NOT imagine having those health issues anymore. I have more energy than I ever had. Rheese is an excellent Ayurvedic Practitioner, mentor and an amazing human being. If you get in contact with her I assure you won't regret it.”

"Where to begin to find the words to describe the indescribable?  Rheese is pure golden life force. She shines so bright that your nervous system literally begins to course correct by being in her presence. The devotion to her path as an Ayurvedic Practitioner and Holistic Health Practitioner ripples out on so many levels.  She holds a safe, caring, impeccable space for her clients to completely relax and heal.  I highly recommend Rheese - her healing touch and vast knowledge is a BEAUTIFUL gift you want to receive.  I spent 7 days in a row with her receiving abhyanga, shirodhara and extraordinary nourishing bolus treatments. 

Each day of being there fortified a deeper knowing and recalibration within my mind/body system. 

Give yourself the gift of being guided into balance by Rheese - as she will share her joy and wisdom of the laws of nature."

“Rheese is the real deal! Been to several other places claiming to be Ayurvedic specialists and it was all about how much money they could gouge, total hard sell. Not here! Rheese took her time to make sure we were a good fit first. The consultation was so thorough, she wanted to know all the things, and I was happy to share!

All her instructions are personally created for me, not one size fits all doshas like other places. I'm so excited to be going on the healing journey with her as my guide!”

— M.P. / Orthodontist

"Rheese's healing work and talent is so valuable in a time when staying balanced and healthy is more important than ever! Upon meeting Rheese, I found her to be incredibly present, so easy to talk to, compassionate, light, open, non-judgmental, and focused. When we did an initial consultation, I felt like I was sitting in Rheese's living room, as she offered me tea, her open heart, and a listening ear. I have worked with several healers in my life, and I've found Rheese to offer a nice balance of sensitive and intuitive guidance, with straight forward actions with what may be causing your imbalances and how to re-balance yourself. I feel like she's on my side and truly has my best interest at heart. 

She explains Ayurveda in easy to understand terms, and takes into account modern living when making recommendations. She also has expertise in trauma and the emotional root of disease.

She does her homework and often takes additional classes to keep learning and providing value to her clients.

I've experienced her abhyanga and shirodhara and left feeling balanced, blissed out, and as if my nervous system was recharged. She is a natural nurturer and you can feel that coming through her when she works on you with her intentional touch and gentle soul.

Her expertise in nutrition adds to the value she can bring to your overall health plan.

I left armed with recipes that will bring more nutrients into my life, at the same time allowing me to minimize my use of plastic.

Rheese is a rare gem, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to find more peace and balance in their life! She makes Ayurvedic principles easy to adhere to, based on your specific dosha, condition, lifestyle, and the reality of modern life."

“Rheese has helped me with my chronic digestive issues, acne, weight fluctuations, unhealthy food cravings, PMS, and energy levels.

She's nothing short of a miracle worker and she's helped me in ways I didn't even think were possible. In addition, she's super lovely and kind and makes you feel very comfortable right away.

Treat yourself and not only feel amazing, but look amazing too!"

— Julianna S. / Retreat Center Owner

“I've been going to Four Pillars Ayurveda for a couple years now and I can honestly say every session I've had was a blessing.

It doesn't matter if I'm just low on energy and need nourishment or I have aching muscles and joints, strained eyes or digestive issues, Rheese always has a solution for my ailments.

I've received several abhyanga (warm herbal oil) massages from her as well as shirodhara and I instantly felt calm and rejuvenated. If you never tried them before, you really have to - and the eye basti as well,  it's the most relaxing thing ever!

She's not only highly knowledgeable and a gifted therapist, she also cares deeply about her clients and she's just an overall amazing person with a shining personality. She patiently answers all of my questions and I never feel rushed.  Every session with her leaves me feeling nurtured, nourished and relaxed and I feel like a brand new person. 

I can't recommend Rheese and her services enough.

“I received the beautiful gift of true Restore with an Angel of a woman. I came to Rheese when I was deeply depleted and exhausted at the end of the year. That exhaustion led me to feel overwhelmed and tight in my mind and out of harmony with my physical body. “Call it a dark night of the soul; call it the rite of passage.” Rheese welcomed me as I was and held me in love and deep presence.

Her kind nature made me feel completely safe to release what I needed to release and to receive, to the highest degree. Her practice is indeed a sensory experience of heat, oil, herbs, sound, and healing touch. She is so devoted to the Ayurvedic life; Her passion resides within the studies and teachings, and just by being with her for one session, my heart was so inspired to learn more. She took time to tend to my body, and energy with intention.

The greatest sensation was waking up the next day completely feeling rejuvenated from the marrow of my being. This type of rejuvenation only leads you to tend to yourself in ways that support feeling so good and so embodied.

I've never received a gift like this. Rheese is a master at her craft, a kind and nurturing soul, and anyone would be blessed 1000 times to get to lay upon her table and enjoy hours within her healing clinic, a serene space tucked into Topanga Canyon.

It feels so good to be inspired to take care of myself in new ways, to learn the natural rhythm, and to know that there is so much more to discover with this beautiful Ayurvedic Practitioner and friend.”

"In October 2018 I went to visit my doctor, I thought I was peri-menopausal. The nurse practitioner listened to my symptoms and performed an exam. Fibroids. That was her thought. She gave me an order for an ultrasound. The ultrasound found something, but not determinable. Next step and MRI, two in fact. The diagnosis – Adenomyosis. This is the sister to Endometriosis; the only difference is location. It is now December; my symptoms are getting progressively worse. I was experiencing pain and exhaustion. I was cramping, nauseous and getting sick in public. My quality of life was declining. I could work- barely, and when I got home I was physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. I could not participate in my life.

​I continue the path with Western Medicine. The first doctor tells my hysterectomy or muscle through it. The second doctor tells me I am fine and continue with my birth control. The third doctor, my primary care doctor tells me I need anti-depressants and brushes off the films and diagnosis of Adenomyosis. I feel like I am not heard, that I am alone, and have no help. Yes, now, I am depressed.

After seeing these doctors, I decided to seek alternative methods of treatment. I wanted to feel like myself again, I wanted to be pain free and present in my life.

Being a customer of Banyan Botanicals, I reach out and ask for any practitioners in my area. I have used Ayurvedic products and like the concepts but need more help. They refer me to Rheese. I reached out to Rheese, who knew that this was the first step on my road to recovery?

We set up a 30-minute phone consultation and from that point I knew she could help me walk through this process. I began my journey to health and healing. To recovery and restoration. Rheese worked with me in creating a process to rejuvenate my health practices. From eating, meditation, body work, and communication. The process to prepare for Panchakarma and the Panchakarma treatment brought my body, mind, and spirit back to balance. I know it may sound cliché and cheesy, but it is true.

I have been pain free since May 2019. I am no longer on birth control and my hormones are in balance. I am back in the world!

Rheese walked me through the entire process. She shared recipes, information, and products. She answered any questions I had about the process. She was supportive and never judgmental. She was caring and listened. She showed me compassion and taught me through Ayurveda another level of self-care that I can sustain.

I am forever grateful. I cannot adequately express how happy and thankful I am for Rheese and Ayurveda. I feel like myself again, I have my life back!!!"

“It was my first time going to an Ayurvedic practitioner in America and I left happy and relieved! Rheese is an amazing person and a specialist. She is listening carefully, trying to build a connection, very gentle and caring.

I spent 4.5 hours with her. First the initial consultation, then we had lunch that Rheese prepared for both of us and then I had Shirodhara and Abhyanga. The entire experience was very pleasant and relaxing.

After the treatments I looked rested like after a good sleep, my skin looked younger and I felt great!

What I liked the most is that Rheese was listening to my needs and will work together with my wishes and lifestyle. Thank you Rheese!"

"Rheese shared her gift of healing with me as part of a deep Ayurvedic treatment.

I was nervous, this being my first time experiencing Ayurveda...she put me at ease in minutes and helped me feel safe.

Rheese has a warm energy, filled with love and brightness. Her sense of humor was refreshing and I felt a bond that I'm certain contributed to my shift to well being.

My physical and emotional energy felt incredible and light after Rheese's body work. She clearly had a devotion to my well being and has a loving compassionate spirit.  Her knowledge is impressive and I had a sense of trust knowing I was in good hands - literally! She was able to get in tune with me in a uniquely holistic way. I'm forever grateful for the body work and healing I was fortunate enough to receive from Rheese."
